Lexus has unveiled the 2025 version of its ES lineup, and the highlight is the Black Line Special Edition Package. This special package was last seen on the 2021 Lexus ES and is based on the ES 350 F Sport Handling trim. The Black Line Special Edition adds a sleek blacked-out design to the exterior, including black side mirrors, black F Sport wheels with black lug nuts, a black rear lip spoiler, and F Sport puddle lamps.
One notable change from the previous version is the expanded range of exterior and interior color options. Buyers now have the choice of Caviar, Cloudburst Gray, Iridium, Matador Red Mica, Obsidian, or Ultra White for the exterior. Instead of the previous two-tone interior, buyers can choose from Black, Circuit Red, and White NuLuxe interiors.
In addition to the Black Line Special Edition Package, Lexus has also included the Technology Package as standard on this model. This package includes the Lexus Interface with a 12.3-inch touchscreen, Head-Up Display, SmartAccess Card Key, and Panoramic View Monitor. Previously, this package was a $1,630 option on the F Sport Handling trim.
The exclusivity and additional features of the Black Line Special Edition Package come at a price. Lexus is charging $3,965 for this package on top of the $49,650 price for the ES 350 F Sport Handling trim.
Another notable detail is the limited production of the 2025 version. Lexus plans to produce only 1,000 examples of this model for the North American market, compared to 1,500 units in 2021. This limited production adds to the exclusivity of the Black Line Special Edition.
