Up to 307 Miles of EPA-Estimated Electric Range
The 2026 Lexus ES 350e offers an EPA-estimated driving range of up to 307 miles when equipped with its standard 19-inch wheels.
Drivers looking for all-wheel drive can choose the ES 500e with Lexus DIRECT4 AWD, which produces 338 combined horsepower and offers an EPA-estimated range of up to 276 miles with its standard 19-inch wheels.
Both electric ES models also feature a NACS charging port, giving owners access to the charging connector that has increasingly become the standard for electric vehicles in North America. Under ideal DC fast-charging conditions, Lexus estimates a 10% to 80% charge can be completed in approximately 30 minutes.
Lexus Takes a Different Approach to Electric Luxury
Numbers matter with an EV, but the Lexus ES has traditionally been about more than performance specifications.
The redesigned ES focuses heavily on ride quality, passenger comfort and a quiet cabin. The new generation is also larger than the previous ES, with a longer wheelbase helping provide additional passenger space, particularly for rear-seat occupants.
One of the most distinctive options is available on the ES 350e Luxury.
The available Executive Package can include:
-
Power-adjustable rear seating
-
Heated and ventilated rear outboard seats
-
Rear-seat massage
-
Plush rear headrests
-
Rear climate controls
-
A passenger-side ottoman
That gives the ES 350e an executive-sedan experience that goes well beyond simply being an electric vehicle.
Lexus Safety System+ 4.0
The new ES also introduces Lexus Safety System+ 4.0, the latest generation of Lexus driver-assistance and active-safety technology.
Inside, drivers get a 14-inch Lexus Interface touchscreen along with a 12.3-inch digital Multi-Information Display.
For many drivers moving into an EV for the first time, that combination may be appealing: new electric technology without giving up the familiar luxury experience and dealership support associated with Lexus.
An Ownership Experience That Goes Beyond the Vehicle
One of the biggest differences between Lexus and many EV manufacturers is what happens after you purchase the vehicle.
Lexus currently sells vehicles through 244 dealerships across the United States, giving owners access to a nationwide network for maintenance, warranty service and ownership assistance.
For drivers here in Bakersfield and throughout Kern County, that means having a local Lexus dealership available when service or assistance is needed rather than relying solely on a direct-to-consumer service model.
LexusCare also includes ownership benefits such as the first two factory-scheduled maintenance services, roadside-assistance programs, available loaner vehicles and complimentary vehicle washes, subject to program terms and availability.
That service relationship can be an important consideration when deciding which luxury EV is right for you.
A New Alternative for Tesla Model S and Model X Shoppers
The Tesla Model S and Model X played a major role in establishing the premium electric vehicle category. Tesla now describes both vehicles as no longer in production.
At the same time, Lexus is beginning an entirely new chapter for the ES.
Instead of trying to simply recreate the Tesla formula, the ES 350e and ES 500e bring Lexus priorities into the EV market:
Quietness. Comfort. Craftsmanship. Passenger luxury. Dealer support. And an established ownership experience.
For shoppers who value those things as much as acceleration figures, the new Lexus ES EV deserves a closer look.
