Revolutionary Design: Elegant ES Exterior
For the luxury shopper who demands curb appeal, the new Lexus ES combines the modern and classic to good effect. This luxury sedan showcases Lexus's innovative "Clean Tech x Elegance" design concept, blending sophisticated aesthetics with cutting-edge functionality.
The most striking feature? Twin L-Signature Lamps with inward-facing daytime running lights and outward-facing turn signals. These create a distinctive double signature, instantly identifying this as a next-generation Lexus.
The rear design features the new Rear L-Signature Lamp - a single illuminated light bar that seamlessly integrates with the Lexus logo, consolidating taillight and stoplight functions while emphasizing the vehicle's wide, confident stance.
Distinctive color options add to the glamor. For 2026, all ES models offer Wavelength - a Lexus-first exterior color option that's exclusive to the brand. Additional premium color choices include elegant options like Acorn, Palomino, White, Circuit Red, and Macadamia, allowing you to personalize your luxury sedan.
Advanced Electrified Powertrains
Built on the optimized TNGA GA-K platform specifically designed to accommodate both hybrid and electric powertrains, the new ES features enhanced structural rigidity and improved chassis dynamics. For the first time in ES history, all variants include multi-link rear suspension paired with MacPherson struts up front, delivering superior handling and ride comfort.
New Lexus ES 350h Hybrid
The ES 350h features a sixth-generation hybrid system combining a refined 2.5-liter four-cylinder engine with electric motor assistance, producing 243 horsepower. Available in both front-wheel and all-wheel drive configurations, this hybrid powertrain delivers exceptional efficiency while maintaining the smooth, refined driving experience Lexus is known for.
New Lexus ES 350e Electric
The ES 350e is a remarkable electric vehicle with an estimated driving range of 300 miles. This front-wheel drive EV generates an ample 220 horsepower.
New Lexus ES 500e Electric Performance
For those seeking enhanced performance, the ES 500e delivers 338 horsepower through dual electric motors with all-wheel drive, achieving 0-60 mph acceleration in approximately 5.7 seconds. Its estimated driving range is 250 miles. This all-wheel drive electric vehicle can automatically move torque from front-wheel drive (100:0) to full rear-wheel drive (0:100).
Next-Generation Technology and Safety
With the introduction of the Lexus Safety System+ 4.0, the new ES is breaking new ground. This is the newest evolution of active safety technology with enhanced hardware and detection capabilities.
For entertainment and connectivity, the Lexus ES cabin features a sophisticated dual-screen setup with a 12.3-inch digital instrument cluster and a prominent 14.0-inch touchscreen for multimedia functions.
Wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto are important standards that are left off of some rivals, such as the Tesla Model Y. Integrated native navigation is another valuable feature, sometimes neglected by rivals on entry level trims.
New Lexus ES Interior
ES interiors showcase premium materials, creating an upscale atmosphere throughout the cabin. Hallmarks include synthetic leather embossing, lush suede, thematic ambient lighting and 3D-printed faux bamboo wood trim on door panels.
As a bigger car than the previous generation, the ES has more space for passengers. The open airy feeling is enhanced by a large greenhouse.
Phoenix drivers will appreciate the ES's advanced climate control technology and available features designed for extreme weather conditions. The panoramic roof includes UV protection, while the available rear power sunshade helps maintain cabin comfort during Arizona's intense summer heat.
Exclusive in this luxury class, an Executive Package can upgrade the rear seats with massage and power-ventilation. Passengers in these recliners can put their feet up on ottomans for total relaxation.
Exceptional Value
Having secured the praise of automotive critics, the ES maintains its reputation for strong value retention while offering luxury features typically found in more expensive sedans. Expected pricing starts around $48,000, significantly undercutting competitors like the BMW 5 Series hybrid at $75,000.
For shoppers, this lower price should not be confused with cheapness. Lexus standards are generous at every price point. Plus shoppers have much more wiggle room to choose higher trims with the maximum amenities.
Lexus continues to provide longer warranty coverage than luxury competitors like BMW and Mercedes-Benz, giving Phoenix drivers additional peace of mind.
