2026 Lexus ES 500e

All-new for 2026, the Lexus ES is available as a hybrid and a pure electric vehicle; see if it lives up to Lexus' luxury standards with our comprehensive interior photo gallery.

For better or for worse, the new eighth-generation Lexus ES is a landmark car in the brand’s unwinding history.

The Lexus ES is moving away from its mainstream roots as a luxury spinoff of the Toyota Camry for 2026 with electric or hybrid powertrain options that start at $48,795.

This marks the most significant stylistic departure for Lexus since the advent of the signature spindle grille and one of the most seismic shifts in brand ethos since the advent of the F Sport performance sub-brand.

Lexus is using the 2026 ES to debut a number of next steps: a new design language, new infotainment tech and new active-safety systems.
