The Shift to Electric
The 2026 Lexus ES is here, marking a significant milestone for the esteemed Japanese automaker. As part of its transition toward sustainability, Lexus has unveiled a lineup of electric vehicles that include both hybrid and fully electric versions of their flagship luxury sedan. This launch notably occurred at the Shanghai Auto Show last month, captivating car enthusiasts and industry professionals alike with its innovative designs and capabilities.
Exciting Variants and Impressive Range
The new Lexus ES will be available in two electric versions: the front-wheel-drive ES 350e and the all-wheel-drive ES 500e. The ES 350e impressively targets an EPA-rated range of 300 miles, making it a competitive choice among electric sedans. Meanwhile, the more powerful ES 500e, with dual motors, aims for a range of 250 miles and boasts impressive performance with 338 horsepower, compared to the 220 horsepower of the 350e.
A Charging Revolution
Both models will feature the North American Charging Standard (SAE J3400), enabling seamless charging at numerous Tesla Supercharger stations across the country. This integration into the growing network of charging infrastructure means that owners can enjoy hassle-free charging experiences. Furthermore, the ES boasts a quick charging capability, reaching 10%-80% in just 30 minutes when connected to a robust DC fast charger.
Prepare for the 2026 Lexus ES, set to hit the market next year. With its commitment to luxury, performance, and sustainability, the new ES is not just a car but a testament to Lexus’s forward-thinking approach in the automotive industry.
