The 2026 Lexus ES EV is the first electric variant of the luxury sedan, offering a range of up to 303 miles and a luxurious interior. The ES has dutifully served as Lexus's entry-level luxury sedan since the marque's inception, and now an electric variant joins the lineup. In terms of appearance, the ES EV is indistinguishable from the standard ES, which was comprehensively redesigned for 2026.
Powered by either of two electric powertrain options, the entry ES350e delivers 224 horsepower to its front wheels while the ES500e trim ups output to 338 horsepower and features all-wheel drive. With an enduring reputation for its quiet and comfort-oriented personality, silent electric propulsion serves to enhance those traits, making the ES even more tranquil.

The ES EV is offered with the choice of two electric powertrains. The ES350e trim will deliver 224 horsepower to the front wheels, while the upper-tier ES500e will send 338 horsepower to all four wheels via a torque-vectoring all-wheel-drive system.
Lexus claims that increased body rigidity over previous-generation models enables the ES EV to exhibit sharp steering and agile handling. The EPA range rating for the front-wheel-drive ES350e is as high as 303 miles on a single charge when fitted with 19-inch wheels. The ES500e is estimated to deliver up to 272 miles of range, which is expected due to its additional power and all-wheel-drive system.
