Interior Features & Design
The 2026 Lexus ES sets its tone with a new platform that stretches the body by 6.5 inches and its wheelbase by 3.0 inches. The larger body allows for more interior space. Once inside, you could notice a raised seating position that makes it easier to enter and exit and provides a wider field of view. The cabin is designed with openness as a key factor, providing slim details and low window edges. Even the driver information display is constructed to build on the feeling of openness.
The Executive Package is offered for the 2026 Lexus ES, making it the first time it is available for the nameplate in North American markets. Massaging rear outboard seats, an ottoman for the passenger side, and heating and ventilation for the rear seats promote a luxurious experience wherever you go. Other details that add to the elegant identity include Thematic Ambient Illumination of bamboo layering and Synthetic Leather Embossing options.
Exterior Features & Design
A focus on minimalism, elegance, and retaining bold details guides the exterior design of the 2026 Lexus ES. The "Clean Tech x Elegance" Lexus design language promotes its seamless profile with a trunkless design. Sharp angles are familiar in the current generation of Lexus models, but updated features incorporate a modern aesthetic.
The front fascia of the 2026 Lexus ES houses the new Twin L-Signature Lamps with daytime running lamps that face inward and turn signals that face outward. These new signature designs improve visibility while making the turn signals stand out more. The rear is also updated with the Rear L-Signature Lamp details, incorporating a light strip across the back and an illuminated Lexus logo.
Performance & Eco Options
A hybrid powertrain will be available with the 2026 Lexus ES 350h. This setup provides a 2.5-liter engine and electric motor with a platform built to suppress vibrations. The dynamic driving experience makes it a standout option for Charlotte drivers.
The 2026 Lexus ES 350e and 500e are BEVs that will have an impressive range and driving capabilities. The 2026 ES 350e boasts a Lexus-estimated 300-mile range with 19-inch tires and front-wheel drive. Choosing the 2026 ES 500e provides more power and DIRECT4 all-wheel drive.
