CarTell take
We haven't driven the ES yet. On paper, confirm hybrid delivery timing with your dealer, since Lexus launched the electric versions first. Price the $7000 Enhancement Pack on the ES300h against simply stepping into an ES350e, which may already carry the gear you want.
Why consider it
- Three powertrains under one badge, and the electric ES350e costs just $2000 more than the base hybrid.
- On paper the ES500e undercuts the BMW i4, Polestar 4 and Volvo ES90 while offering 252kW and AWD.
What to know
- Prices jumped hard with the new generation: the base ES300h is $75,000, up from $65,540 for the old car.
- EV range of 465km to 510km WLTP is fine, not class leading.

Frequently asked questions
How much is the 2026 Lexus ES in Australia?
The eighth generation ES starts at $75,000 plus on-road costs for the ES300h Luxury hybrid. The ES300h with Enhancement Pack is $82,000, the electric ES350e Sports Luxury is $77,000 and the dual motor ES500e Sports Luxury tops the range at $84,000, all plus on-road costs.
Is the new Lexus ES available as an EV?
Yes. For the first time the ES comes as a full EV. The ES350e uses a 167kW front motor and a 74.7kWh battery for 510km WLTP range, while the ES500e uses 252kW dual motors, AWD and the same battery for 465km WLTP.
How fast does the electric Lexus ES charge?
Both electric versions accept up to 150kW DC and 22kW three phase AC. Lexus claims a 10 to 80 per cent DC charge in about 28 minutes.
The Lexus ES in full
The new ES is a full reset: fresh design, new tech and, for the first time, electric power alongside the familiar hybrid. Pricing runs from $75,000 to $84,000 plus on-roads, so it is no longer the budget entry to big Lexus sedans. On paper the electric ES350e at $77,000 is the sweet spot in the range.
