I recently just heard about the all new ES 350 and was wondering what cool interior features / must haves that you guys what to see? What do you think would make you consider getting your own 2019 Lexus ES 350, or what do you think would make it worth buying?

I'm looking into both this and the new Lexus UX.. I know one is a Sedan and the other is a SUV, but I'm thinking both can suit my needs for driving. It's the features that will be a deciding factor for me.

I'm planning on buying one next month and even though it doesn't have everything that I want, that's OK. No car produced - IMO - has every feature that one would want.
I would like to see a receptacle on the mirror for a camera and a radar detector. Folding mirrors, a sunglass holder, improved infotainment system, improved seat cooling, improved climate control system, Android play (or whatever it's called) in addition to Apple which will be in the car. Fully 3/4 of mobile phones in the world are Android - not Apple...
Probably a few other features that would be nice but can't think of them. Maybe some of the requests I've made will be addressed. Have to wait and see... Anxious to see one of these up close. Maybe in 5-6 weeks...

And remote start. FREE remote start built-in without a monthly charge after a year... Lexus screwed up on RS from the beginning...

Speaking of remote start. I sure the hope the new 2019 model, when you start it via the app. And come to open the door it doesn't shutoff and you've to start it again like the outgoing model. Thats just pretty lame...

Lame it is, but don't hold your breath...

Is it too much to hope for the LS 500's twin turbo V6? LOL

Even with FWD I'd still buy it.

A power folding mirror button

(like it's had as an option in foreign markets for a long time)

second that...

SuperMido

Agreed! I'm really pissed off they took that out of the US spec...Come on, what does that cost you? Besides the fact that its a helpful feature. Its actually a very luxurious touch seeing those mirrors auto fold when the car is locked..

Sorry if this has already been posted, but here's a great article with features that ARE included, and in comparison to the outgoing model.

Yuck! Very unattractive interior. Not comfortable at all.

Now THAT would be amazing

The tan/dark brown interior looks amazing, even better than on the 2016+ cars. I sat in an LS500h and an ES300h and the LS, although beautifully finished, wasn't worth double the price.

I love tan/dark brown interiors. Just gives like a calming, almost zen like feel when you sit inside the car.
