The 2026 Lexus ES received a complete redesign inside and out, including a new fully electric version. It’s the first core Lexus model transformed into a “multi-platform” vehicle with EV and hybrid powertrains.
For its eighth-generation, the luxury sedan is an improvement over the outgoing ES in just about every, from the inside out.
The new design is based on the LF-ZC show car, which first debuted at the 2023 Japan Mobility Show, featuring a redesigned “spindle body,” the latest evolution of its signature grille.
On the inside, the new 2026 ES is equipped with the latest version of the Lexus Interface Multimedia system. The system is significantly faster and easier to use than its current interface, featuring a new 14″ central navigation screen with wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, plus a 12.3″ driver display.
The 2026 Lexus ES EV will be available in two grades: the ES 350e, a front-wheel-drive (FWD) model, and the ES 500e, an all-wheel-drive (AWD) model, with Premium and Luxury trim options.
With the 2026 models set to go on sale any day now, Lexus revealed prices for the redesigned ES, will start at $48,475.
That’s for the all-electric 2026 Lexus ES 350e Premium, the only EV or hybrid variant that starts under $50,000. The AWD ES 500e Premium is priced from $51,795, while the 350e Luxury and 500e Luxury start at $57,195 and $60,195, respectively.
