# 🍃 Protint – Premium Detailing & Protection for Lexus ES 300h
## 🎭 A Special Note for Lexus ES 300h Owners
The **Lexus ES 300h** is the epitome of Japanese luxury and hybrid efficiency. Now in its 2026 generation, this executive sedan has been completely reimagined as a dedicated **hybrid-only model**, abandoning pure petrol variants to focus exclusively on its refined 2.0-litre hybrid powertrain . Built on the GA-K platform with a stretched wheelbase (now 2, 950mm vs 2, 870mm), the new ES 300h offers limousine-like rear legroom and a commanding yet elegant road presence .
The 2026 ES features revolutionary updates including **14+14-inch dual HD displays** running the China-developed LEXUS Interface, **Mark Levinson® 3D Surround Sound**, and the all-new **LSS+ 4.0** safety system with 360-degree panoramic view monitor and transparent底盘功能 . At just **₹29.99 lakh** (starting price), it delivers exceptional value for a handcrafted Japanese luxury sedan .
At **Protint**, we understand that ES 300h owners value:
- **Japanese precision engineering** – maintaining that flawless, showroom-fresh finish
- **Hybrid efficiency preservation** – protecting fuel economy by reducing AC load
- **Omotenashi hospitality** – preserving the 'spirit of selfless hospitality' in every detail
- **Cutting-edge technology protection** – safeguarding the dual 14-inch screens and LSS+ 4.0 sensors
- **Resale value maximisation** – a well-protected Lexus hybrid commands premium pricing in the used market
Every solution we offer for your Lexus ES 300h is meticulously selected to maintain its Japanese luxury character while providing world-class, hybrid-friendly protection.
> **Important Note**: The 2026 Lexus ES 300h is available exclusively as a hybrid, with a pure EV variant expected later in 2026 . We tailor our protection packages to your specific variant and model year. The ES features the latest Lexus Safety System+ 4.0 with advanced sensors—we take extra care with ADAS compatibility.
> **⚠️ Important Legal Note for Indian ES 300h Owners**: India has strict window tinting regulations. As per the **Supreme Court ruling of 2012**, aftermarket sun films are strictly prohibited regardless of VLT claims. Only factory-fitted tinted glass meeting 70% VLT (front/rear) and 50% VLT (side) standards is permitted. Penalties for non-compliance include fines and on-the-spot film removal. We follow the law by recommending **removable mesh sunshades** (legal only while parked) and **factory-fitted tinted glass** (OEM option).
## ⚖️ Legal Sun Protection & Heat Rejection
The ES 300h's expansive glasshouse and large 487-litre boot area need effective heat rejection, but we use only legally compliant methods.

## 🛡️ Paint Protection Film (PPF) – Invisible Armor for the ES
