The 2026 Lexus ES debuts in Spain with three powertrain configurations, beginning at €61,500 for the hybrid and electric models. This eighth-generation sedan merges a sophisticated design with broader electrification options, catering to luxury consumers prioritizing cutting-edge technology and advanced safety systems. The new model emphasizes a minimalist yet elegant exterior while offering an expansive, tech-rich cabin designed for both driver engagement and rear-seat comfort.
Powertrain lineup and drive configurations
The lineup includes the hybrid ES 300h, alongside two electric models—the ES 350e (front-wheel drive) and the ES 500e (all-wheel drive). The hybrid version integrates Lexus’s latest sixth-generation system, combining a 2.5-liter four-cylinder engine with a lighter lithium-ion battery and an updated transmission. For the first time in the ES series, customers can now choose between front-wheel drive or E-Four all-wheel drive on the hybrid. This flexibility addresses diverse driving conditions, from urban commutes to adverse weather scenarios.
The electric variants, the ES 350e FWD and ES 500e AWD, deliver improved efficiency alongside premium finishes. Both models share a 14-inch multimedia display and a 12.3-inch digital instrument cluster, while the ES 500e introduces adaptive suspension and MultiLED headlights with adaptive beam control. The electric models also prioritize sustainability through their fully electric powertrains, eliminating tailpipe emissions while maintaining Lexus’s signature refinement.
Trim options and standard equipment
The SIGNATURE trim provides heated front seats, whereas the EXCLUSIVE package adds a digital key system, 360-degree camera parking assistance, a digital rearview mirror, and a 17-speaker Mark Levinson audio system. The electric models’ OMOTENASHI+ trim further enhances comfort with a rear passenger ottoman, a fold-flat front seat, and five massage settings. This trim also includes advanced driver aids like adaptive suspension and high-resolution MultiLED headlights with dynamic illumination patterns.
Every configuration includes Lexus Safety System+ 4.0, which covers blind-spot monitoring, safe exit assistance, and front and rear cross-traffic alerts. These features strengthen collision prevention and driver awareness across all versions. The system also integrates with the vehicle’s connectivity suite, allowing over-the-air updates to safety algorithms for continuous improvement.
