Lexus ES 2026 Powertrain Specifications

The Lexus ES500e runs on a 74.68 kWh battery pack that powers two electric motors, one on each axle, for all-wheel drive.

The combined output stands at 338 hp and 438 Nm of torque. This setup allows the sedan to sprint from 0 to 100 km/h in 5.5 seconds and delivers a claimed range of 580 km on a single charge.

Charging from 10 to 80% takes 28 minutes with a 150 kW DC fast charger, while an 11 kW AC home charger comes as standard.

The ES350h uses a 2.5-litre four-cylinder petrol-hybrid unit, producing a combined 247 hp.

Both versions sit on the TNGA-K platform suited to Indian conditions.

Lexus ES Rivals

The Lexus ES350h will compete with its German rivals, such as the BMW 5 Series and Mercedes-Benz E-Class.

On the other hand, the ES500e will rival EVs like the BYD Seal and Kia EV6.
