The updated Lexus ES received a fresh exterior design with expressive geometric contours, a dynamic profile, and refined details. The list of updates includes narrowed rear lights, door handles integrated into the body, and arrow-shaped headlights.
Despite the fact that the car is based on the familiar TNGA-K platform, its dimensions have become larger: the length has grown to 5140 mm, and the distance between the axles to 2950 mm. This allowed increasing the space in the cabin, especially for rear passengers.
The interior trim has also been revised. Key solutions include a virtual instrument panel, a 14-inch multimedia display, touch control zones, and a small joystick that replaced the traditional transmission selector. Top trim levels provide options such as electrically adjustable rear seats, a three-zone climate system, and a Mark Levinson audio system with 17 speakers.
The Lexus ES 2026 model range consists of four versions with electrified powertrains. Two modifications are hybrid, combining a 2.5-liter gasoline engine and an electric motor, with a total output of 204 or 247 hp. The other two variants are fully electric: front-wheel drive with 224 hp and all-wheel drive with 343 hp. The range reaches 530 km under the WLTP cycle, and at a fast charging station, the battery replenishes to 80% in about half an hour.
The company expects that the new generation ES will become an important model for the European market. Sales are scheduled to begin at the end of 2025.
