## Resource

In this episode, we’re in La Jolla, California for an exclusive test drive of the 2027 Lexus ES — now available as both a hybrid and full EV — plus our first look at the all-new three-row 100% electric TZ SUV. We sit down with Lexus marketing executive Sam Wintermyer to discuss why this electrification strategy is landing at exactly the right moment for the iconic Japanese luxury brand, balancing heritage, performance, and the evolving demands of luxury buyers.
