Listen to the Driveway, a podcast available on all platforms: https://cargur.us/1d5zzf The Lexus ES has been a cornerstone of the brand’s lineup for decades, serving as its midsize luxury sedan and one of its best-selling models worldwide. But for 2026, Lexus is giving the ES its most dramatic transformation yet. It’s larger in every dimension, adopts an entirely new design language, and moves further upscale now that the flagship LS has been discontinued. In fact, this new ES is much closer in size to the old LS than the sedan it replaces. Along with the redesign comes a major shift in powertrain strategy, with both hybrid and fully electric versions joining the lineup. We're focusing on the hybrid variant in this video. So, does this new approach keep the ES competitive against rivals like the BMW 5 Series, Mercedes-Benz E-Class, Genesis G80, and Audi A6? Let’s take a closer look.
