2027 Lexus ES: Sophisticated Design Meets All-Electric Performance

The eighth-generation Lexus ES enters its second model year with an expanded vision for the luxury sedan, combining sophisticated design, advanced technology, refined comfort, and electrified performance. For 2027, the ES 350e and ES 500e battery-electric models carry over alongside the ES 350h hybrid, giving drivers multiple pathways to luxury and electrification.

The 2027 ES 350e and ES 500e mark an important milestone for Lexus as the brand’s first ES models built on a multi-pathway platform capable of supporting both hybrid and all-electric powertrains. Both BEV models use a 74.7-kWh lithium-ion battery positioned beneath the passenger compartment.

The ES 350e features a 221-horsepower electric motor powering the front wheels, while the ES 500e pairs the same front motor with a 118-horsepower rear motor for a combined 338 horsepower and DIRECT4 all-wheel drive. The ES 500e can accelerate from 0 to 60 mph in an estimated 5.1 seconds. The ES 350e offers an EPA-estimated driving range of up to 307 miles on a full charge with its standard 19-inch wheels, while the ES 500e offers up to 276 miles.

The 2027 ES features a sleek new exterior inspired by the Lexus LF-ZC concept. Signature L-shaped LED running lights, a distinctive front-end treatment, a prominent shoulder line, and a wraparound LED Blade taillamp give the sedan a striking presence. bThe BEV models also feature a streamlined front-end design that contributes to a low 0.25 drag coefficient. Every ES comes standard with 19-inch aluminum wheels, with available 21-inch wheels adding an even more distinctive look. New Wavelength and Copper Crest exterior colors join the ES color palette.

Inside, the ES combines minimalist styling with premium materials and advanced technology. Luxury models feature semi-aniline leather seating, ambient illumination, and an available Bamboo Layering design featuring LED-backlit bamboo wood trim.

For an especially elevated experience, the available Executive Package on the ES 350e Luxury transforms the rear cabin with power-adjustable seating, heated and ventilated seats, massage functionality, a passenger-side ottoman, and rear-seat climate controls.

The latest Lexus Interface system brings a 14.0-inch touchscreen to every ES 350e and ES 500e, complemented by the 12.3-inch Multi-Information Display. The updated interface features a redesigned home menu, multiple information widgets, large on-screen tiles, and simultaneous dual Bluetooth connectivity. Wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, wireless device charging, available Mark Levinson PurePlay Surround Sound, Digital Key 2.0, and a suite of connected services further enhance the ownership experience.

For EV drivers, the ES BEV models also feature a North American Charging System (NACS) port. Under ideal conditions, DC fast charging from 10% to 80% can take approximately 28 minutes, while Level 2 charging can take about seven hours. Plug & Charge capability is also available, allowing compatible public charging sessions to begin simply by plugging in after initial enrollment.

With its combination of electrified performance, elegant design, advanced connectivity, premium comfort, and innovative safety technology, the 2027 Lexus ES continues to redefine what a modern luxury sedan can be. The result is a sophisticated driving experience designed for drivers who want luxury without compromise.
