Lexus expands EV/hybrid line, adds all‑new ES 350e

Overview

Lexus has aggressively expanded its electrified lineup, centered on the eighth-generation ES sedan. Launched in mid-2026, the new ES features a redesigned exterior and interior, a longer wheelbase, and multiple powertrains including the hybrid ES 350h and battery-electric ES 350e and ES 500e models.

At the GIIAS 2026 auto show in Indonesia, General Manager Ima Nurbani Rahmah highlighted the model’s “Clean Tech × Elegance” design, which includes a spindle-shaped front and illuminated Lexus branding. In Japan, the high-end BEV lineup includes the ES 350e Rr Comfort package, focused on rear-seat luxury with an electric leg rest, and the all-wheel-drive ES 500e Version L, which delivers 342 horsepower. The interior features “Responsive Hidden Switches” that remain invisible until powered on, alongside “Bamboo Layering” decorative trim.

In the United Kingdom, Lexus is positioning the ES exclusively as a battery-electric model, starting with the ES 350e. This front-wheel-drive sedan is equipped with a 77 kWh battery and a 221 bhp motor, utilizing aerodynamic enhancements like active grille shutters to maximize efficiency. Prices in the UK range from £59,345 to £72,545.

Other key developments include a facelifted NX midsize SUV and the 2026 UX 300h hybrid. While the UX is slated to end production in February 2027, Lexus has promoted significant price discounts for the LBX and UX in Poland. High-performance electrification remains a priority, evidenced by the limited-run RZ600e F Sport Performance SUV and the planned 2027 electric LFA supercar utilizing solid-state battery technology.
