2026 Lexus ES 350h | Once Lexus' Starter Sedan, The ES Is Now The Flagship?

Lexus has been hard at work on the ES and what's come out from under is a larger ES with electrified powertrains. For those worried about only a BEV powerplant fear not, this was designed to fit a hybrid role and offers both BEV and HEV. The 350h here isn't a carry over from 2025, it's got updates under the hood to match the surface level changes. From the oustide this is one of the more modern Lexus you'll find on the lot with a hint of Toyota Crown from the right angles. Once inside it's obvious this isn't your dads Lexus' the screen arrangement is sharp and tech forward but the interior space feels like a sedan from a time long pasat. One thing those sedans probably didn't have was the option of AWD and whether or not you're driven by front wheels or all of them you'll still see over 40mpg and that's appreciated every time you stop at the pump.
