The ES is an executive saloon designed for luxury, from the soft leather seats and premium audio system to the rear seat control panel, that lets your passengers control their environment. It uses self-charging hybrid technology to ensure you’re never stuck waiting at a charging point but fully electric variants are landing soon.
The all-new eighth-generation Lexus ES represents a significant leap forward for the executive saloon, blending its traditional commitment to high-quality luxury with pioneering sustainable power. While the ES 300h continues to offer a refined self-charging hybrid experience, the 2026 lineup introduces the model's first-ever fully electric variants in the form of the ES 350e and the high-performance ES 500e, coming soon. This evolution in powertrain is matched by a bold exterior design that is longer and more minimalist, featuring a distinctive twin L-signature lighting style that signals its modern identity.
Inside the cabin, the 2026 model debuts revolutionary haptic controls that are seamlessly integrated into the dashboard upholstery, illuminating only when the vehicle's powered on to maintain a clean, sophisticated aesthetic. The technological suite is further enhanced by a 12.3-inch digital driver display and an expansive 14-inch touchscreen running the latest Lexus Interface. High-spec models like the Takumi continue to push the boundaries of passenger comfort with digital side-view monitors that replace traditional mirrors, a 17-speaker Mark Levinson 3D surround sound system, and a rear control panel that manages premium features such as reclining seats and massage functions.

The Lexus ES is a great option for drivers who prioritise a smooth, quiet, and comfortable ride, especially for those with long commutes or frequent long-distance journeys. It's ideal for those who value a luxurious and spacious interior, including families and those who use their car for business (like premium minicabs). The ES also appeals to environmentally conscious buyers because of its hybrid powertrain, which offers good fuel economy, especially the 300h model.
Cars similar to the Lexus ES in the UK include the Audi A6, BMW 5 Series, and Mercedes-Benz E-Class. These are all executive saloon cars that compete directly with the ES and offer a similar level of luxury and refinement.

Leasing a Lexus ES can offer several benefits, particularly for drivers who prioritise lower monthly costs, predictable expenses, and driving a new vehicle every few years. Leasing means you'll never own the car and you'll get mileage restrictions, but you'll also avoid the headaches of depreciation and selling the vehicle. If you choose to lease through Xcite Car Leasing, you benefit from the partnerships we've created and deals we've curated across more than 20 years in business.
Lexus is the luxury division of Toyota Motor Corporation. They share many components, including hybrid technology, and are both produced by the same manufacturer. However, Lexus vehicles are positioned as a more premium brand with higher-end features, materials, and a focus on a more luxurious ownership experience.
The Lexus ES 300h (2.5-litre hybrid) across all 3 trims - Premium, Premium Plus, and Takumi - has a theoretical driving range of approximately 570 to 600 miles on a single full tank of fuel. The new all-electric versions are expected to have a WLTP range of up to 330 miles.
