At the 2026 Beijing Auto Show that opened recently,The new generation of Lexus ES is officially launched, with a total of 1 model launched, priced at 299,900 yuan. A pure electric version will be added in the future, and the old ES200 model will continue to be sold under the same roof as the new Lexus ES, enriching consumers' choices.
The new car made its first public debut at the Shanghai Auto Show in April last year, with a new design language.It adopts a closed front face, with the air intake grille located below. The front of the car is equipped with split lights. The daytime running lights are still in the classic Lexus lightning shape. Exaggerated air guides are designed on both sides. The headlights are also integrated in this area..
It adopts a coupe style with obvious sports style. Its length, width and height are 5140/1920/1555 (hybrid version) mm respectively, and the wheelbase is 2950mm.Thanks to the 165mm increase in body length and 80mm lengthening of the wheelbase, it is more stretched..
However, the L-shaped black decorative strip on the side has been criticized by netizens. Most of them think that it is superfluous and unnecessary. Some people vividly described it as "shrimp line".
The rear of the car continues its iconic elegant style and is also equipped with the currently popular through-type light set. In addition, the new car's license plate frame is located above the rear bumper and adopts a recessed design, which has a clear sense of hierarchy.
Entering the car, the overall style has changed significantly, and is in line with the new forces in Chinese car manufacturing. For example, the center console has an interior design with a central control screen and a passenger screen, and an electronic gear lever in the center. It completely abandons the inherent visual effects of Lexus, and cancels a large number of physical buttons and replaces them with touch buttons.
In terms of configuration,The new car will provide driver's seat memory, front seat heating, ventilation, electrically adjustable steering wheel, steering wheel heating, HUD head-up display, rear sunshades, front-row mobile phone wireless charging, Mark Levinson audio, L2 driving assistance and a small-size sunroof (the pure electric version is equipped with a color-changing panoramic skylight)wait.
As for power, the new generation ES will provide hybrid and pure electric versions.The hybrid version uses a 2.0L engine and a high-power motor, with a combined power of 145 kilowatts. It is matched with an E-CVT continuously variable transmission and has a fuel consumption of 4.39 liters per 100 kilometers..
The pure electric versions ES 350e and ES 500e are both developed based on the newly developed GA-K platform and are equipped with large-capacity batteries. The ES 500e is also equipped with the intelligent all-wheel drive system DIRECT4.
