Overview
The ES350h epitomizes the quiet luxury experience that the Lexus brand is known for. Its standard 244-hp hybrid powertrain is fuel-efficient but not particularly exciting. The same can be said of the ES’s handling, which is tuned for comfort rather than for driving joy.
The cabin's environs are premium and offer similar interior space and amenities to rivals from Audi and BMW, but the ES starts at a lower price point than those two sporty sedans. The Lexus has credible competition from inside the Toyota ecosystem, though: the uniquely styled Crown sedan, which shares its platform and powertrain with the Lexus but starts at an even more attractive price.
Expert Tip: While Lexus stopped selling the V-6-powered ES when the car was redesigned for 2026, it did add an electric variant. We review the ES EV separately.
Lexus redesigned the ES for the 2026 model year, so the mid-size luxury sedan slides into 2027 without any changes.
If this year's model is largely unchanged and you're comfortable with a lightly used car, you may want to consider shopping previous model years. A one-to-three-year-old model will likely have a warranty and it'll cost less than buying new.
2026 Lexus ES
Pricing and Which One to Buy
Engine, Transmission, and Performance
The ES is offered only in ES350h hybrid guise. Front-wheel-drive models are powered by a hybrid powertrain consisting of a 2.5-liter four-cylinder and two electric motors that combine for 244 horsepower. A continuously variable automatic transmission is standard. All-wheel drive models get a third electric motor that powers the rear axle, but combined horsepower remains the same at 244 horsepower.
The ES has always been a smooth operator, and this generation is no different. Lexus says this new model has more chassis rigidity than older models, and more attention has been spent on reducing body vibrations. When we drove the ES350h, we were impressed by its ride quality, but noted that it's no sports sedan, as its handling is still easy-going rather than sharp-edged.
What's Your Car Worth?
Car and Driver calculates your car's value in three free and easy steps - using the same Black Book® data dealers use to appraise vehicles.
0–60-MPH Times
In Comparison: We haven't tested it yet, but the ES350h should be about as quick as the similar Toyota Crown, which needed 7.2 seconds to hit 60 mph at our test track.
Fuel Economy and Real-World MPG
The EPA rates the ES hybrid as high as 48 mpg city, 44 mpg highway, and 46 mpg combined—top-notch for a car of this size. When we get a chance, we'll take the ES on our 75-mph highway fuel economy route and update this story with real-world test results. For more information about the ES's fuel economy, visit the EPA's website.
Interior, Comfort, and Cargo
First Row: With its stylish dash and high-quality cabin materials, the ES creates a plush environment for passengers. Ambient interior lighting and 3D-printed faux bamboo wood trim are used on the door panels for an upscale look. The seats are comfortable, and there's plenty of space for adults of all sizes to find their ideal driving position.
Second Row: A pair of passengers will also have no issues settling into the ES's comfortable back seat. Upscale environs await you in the rear compartment, with nicely cushioned seats and dedicated rear-seat air vents for the climate control.
Cargo Capacity: A large trunk gives the ES ample cargo space, and we expect to find it similarly sized to rivals. When we get a chance, we'll stuff the trunk with carry-on suitcases and report our findings here.
Infotainment and Connectivity
A 14.0-inch infotainment touchscreen takes a prominent location on the ES's dashboard. It features wireless connectivity for smartphones with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, as well as native navigation. A 10-speaker stereo is standard, and a 17-speaker Mark Levinson premium stereo system is available as an option.
Safety and Driver-Assistance Features
A host of driver-assistance features comes standard, including adaptive cruise control, blind-spot monitoring, and automatic high-beam headlamps.
For information about the ES's crash-test results, visit the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) and Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS) websites.
Warranty and Maintenance Coverage
Lexus provides longer warranty coverage than BMW and Mercedes-Benz. However, it trails Genesis, which offers one of the best warranties in the segment.
C/D Test Results and Specs
Each year, we put hundreds of vehicles through our rigorous instrumented testing regimen. If the data in the chart below is for a different model year, that's because this vehicle hasn't changed since we last tested it, and the test results remain accurate.
