Eighth-Generation Lexus ES Drops Gas-Only Engines for Hybrid and Two EV Variants

The eighth-generation Lexus ES stretches 6.5 inches longer and moves exclusively to electrified powertrains, offering the 244-hp ES350h hybrid alongside the single-motor 221-hp ES350e and dual-motor 338-hp ES500e electric sedans. Both EVs pack a 74.7-kWh battery and a 150-kW NACS charging port, while the minimalist cabin pairs bamboo trim and brown leather with a spacious rear seat featuring an optional reclining ottoman.
