Default 2021 bamboo trim interior?

Does anyone know if it's possible to get a 2021 ES 350 (even if it means a special order) in a bamboo wood trim interior? This photo an example- not sure exact model year .Apparently this was more available in recent years.

I'm pretty sure it has been dropped and can't be special ordered.

Yeah - I think it is no longer offered. Too bad too, I special ordered it once and really liked it.

Another member posted information regarding this. I believe that Dave and Mike are correct and that it's no longer available in 2021... Do a search for the previous post... I also have bamboo...

So when was the last model year this was offered?

The only thing I know is a dealer showed me a bamboo interior yesterday in a demo 2020 ES Hybrid. The salesman indicated that even this 2020 was a special for one of the dealer execs. It was not the exterior color I was looking for and although they seemed at first very positive they could get it...later on they said as you all have replied that is isn't available even as a custom order.

I believe the Bamboo wood was discontinued for the 2021 model year.

I'm guessing you have a 2020 Hybrid? I'm hearing this was only available on the Hybrids??

My wife and I both have a RX and ES hybrids with parchment interiors, bamboo accents with the brown dash and door accents. Love the color combo. Not only have they eliminated the bamboo but also the brown dash. Black dash show every bit of lint and dust and looks hot plus 90% of cars have black dashes. Checked Lexus site and you can get bamboo on a 2021 RX 450h but not with the luxury package. There they still have the brown dash as an option but not with the luxury package.

I saw quite a few with bamboo trim and not sure it was a good contrast. Most of the liner and parts are black and then you stick in this orange bamboo. It's a bit jarring, especially when they used it on the cup holder cover.

But if it was a 2020, it must've been a hybrid model if I understand this space correctly.

Would you post some photos of your ES bamboo and flaxen interior? I suspect I would love these together. Thx!

That flaxen and bamboo is an awesome combo! And with atomic silver UL. Very nice indeed!
