The significance of the new Lexus ES extends far beyond the evolution of an established premium sedan. As the logical realization of the visionary Lexus LF-ZC concept car, first unveiled at the 2023 Japan Mobility Show, it opens up new perspectives in design and technology, redefining what luxury means to today's customers.
As the eighth generation of a model that has been a core part of the Lexus lineup since the brand's inception, the new ES is more spacious and innovative than ever. The development goal was to further refine the driving experience while creating an unprecedented level of comfort – guided by the Omotenashi principles of Japanese hospitality.
A new, more powerful software platform also enables a significantly expanded range of functions and services – from new information and entertainment options and optimized display and operating concepts to enhanced safety features.
The new ES follows Lexus' multi-path strategy: A variety of electrified powertrain options allows customers to choose a vehicle that meets their individual needs and preferences. Accordingly, the new ES is available as both a battery electric vehicle (BEV) and a full hybrid – each with front-wheel or all-wheel drive.
The BEV and hybrid versions (ES 350e and ES 300h) of the new Lexus ES are available to order starting at €59,600. The new models will arrive in Lexus showrooms starting in late summer 2026. The market launch of the Lexus ES 500e is planned for early 2027.
