The 2026 Lexus ES EV isn’t just a new model; it’s a whole new way to experience the ES. This electric sedan delivers the luxury and quiet ride people expect from Lexus, but with a powerful, modern twist.

Plug In Like a Pro

The 2026 Lexus ES EV comes with a Tesla-style charging port that makes charging easy at thousands of Tesla Supercharger stations. You won’t need any adapters or extra parts to plug in; just connect and charge.

With more public charging stations available across the country, you’ll be able to enjoy long trips without the stress of searching for the right plug. Lexus is giving drivers the tools to keep their EVs powered up and ready to go.

Drive Farther Without the Stress

The Lexus ES 350e EV boasts an estimated 300-mile range on a single charge, making it one of the longest-range electric sedans in its class. The all-wheel-drive ES 500e still gets a solid 250 miles.

You can go days between charges for most daily driving needs. Plus, knowing you have that kind of range helps make the switch from gas to electric easier than ever.

More Power, More Possibilities

The ES EV lineup has two distinct power levels. The ES 350e delivers 220 horsepower through its front wheels, giving you smooth and capable performance for city or highway driving.

For drivers who want a sportier feel, the ES 500e offers 338 horsepower with all-wheel drive. Both models blend power with Lexus smoothness, making them ideal for relaxed cruising or confident cornering.

Speed That Surprises

The ES 350e isn’t built for track days, but it still hits 60 mph in about 7.7 seconds, which is plenty for daily driving. The ES 500e’s 5.4-second 0-60 makes it feel quick and responsive.

You don’t need to sacrifice speed for a quiet, smooth ride. This balance of performance and comfort shows that Lexus understands what drivers want in an electric sedan.

Quick Charging Keeps You Moving

Fast charging is a must for any EV, and the 2026 ES EV doesn’t disappoint. When using a powerful DC fast charger, you can recharge the battery from 10% to 80% in just 30 minutes.

It’s not the fastest out there, but it’s fast enough to keep you from feeling stuck at the charger. Plus, the new charging port means more fast-charging options for Lexus drivers.

A Hybrid for Those Not Ready for Full EV

Not everyone is ready to switch to fully electric, and Lexus knows it. That’s why the 2026 ES also comes as a hybrid, offering a mix of gas and electric power.

This version keeps the smooth, quiet ride Lexus fans love, while offering improved fuel efficiency. It’s a smart choice for drivers who want an eco-friendly option but aren’t quite ready for a full EV.

More Room to Stretch Out

The new ES is over six inches longer than the previous model, giving both drivers and passengers more space inside. This extra length improves comfort and makes the car’s design look sleeker and more elegant.

Rear passengers will enjoy more legroom, while everyone benefits from a quieter, smoother ride. The longer body also improves balance, making the car feel stable at higher speeds.

Silent Driving, Enhanced

The switch to electric makes the ES EV naturally quieter than a gas-powered model. Lexus added extra insulation and soundproofing to keep the cabin whisper-quiet, even at highway speeds.

Noise reduction isn’t just about comfort; it also makes the car feel more luxurious and refined. A peaceful ride lets you enjoy music, conversations, or just the calm of the road.

Big Screen, Easy Controls

A huge 14-inch touchscreen dominates the dashboard, giving drivers and passengers a simple way to control navigation, music, and settings. Lexus’s latest software makes it faster and more intuitive.

Voice controls work better, too, so you can get directions or adjust settings without taking your hands off the wheel. High-tech, but user-friendly, the ES EV feels modern without being complicated.

Music and Connectivity Made Simple

The ES EV comes standard with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, letting you connect your phone and access apps, music, and messages wirelessly.

A 10-speaker stereo system gives clear, rich sound, and an optional 17-speaker Mark Levinson system takes things up a notch for audiophiles. Your drive will be as entertaining as it is comfortable.

Lexus Safety, Upgraded

Safety is always a priority, and the ES EV gets the latest Lexus Safety System+ 4.0. This package includes adaptive cruise control, automatic braking, and cyclist detection.

Blind-spot monitoring and lane-keeping assistance make highway driving easier and less stressful. These tools not only protect you but also make driving more enjoyable and confident.

Premium Comfort in the Back

The ES EV offers an Executive package with reclining rear seats, plus massage, heating, and ventilation functions. It turns the back row into a luxury lounge.

Interior materials and trim are top-notch, with ambient lighting and 3D-printed faux bamboo adding visual interest. Lexus has created a backseat experience that’s as special as the front.
