All-New Lexus ES Launches Pre-Sales: First-Ever EV Variant Arrives in April

The all-new Lexus ES will open for pre-orders on March 20 and officially launch in April. The new model features Lexus’ latest design language and will be offered in three variants: the ES 300h hybrid, along with two all-electric versions—the ES 350e and ES 500e. Exterior updates include smoother front-end lines, sharp LED headlights, flush door handles, and optional low-drag alloy wheels. The vehicle’s overall length and wheelbase have been extended by 165 mm and 80 mm, respectively. Inside, the cabin is accented with a soft green color scheme and features a dual-screen setup spanning the center console and front passenger area, paired with an electronic gear selector. Both all-electric variants are built on the GA-K platform, with the ES 500e further equipped with Lexus’ DIRECT4 intelligent all-wheel-drive system. The vehicle has already launched in the U.S., where the all-electric models start at $48,795 (approximately RMB 337,000), making them the most affordable options in the ES lineup.
