Lexus India Introduces the All-New ES

Bangalore - Lexus India, the luxury automotive division of the Japanese car manufacturer Toyota Motor Corporation, has launched the all-new ES, a globally important model now reimagined with both BEV and HEV options. Built around Lexus’ next-generation electrification strategy, the new ES features fresh design inspired by the LF-ZC concept, improved quietness and ride comfort, and a spacious, technology-rich cabin focused on premium passenger comfort.

The all-new Lexus ES500e comes with a newly developed 74.68 kWh lithium-ion battery pack, delivering 252 kW of maximum power and a claimed range of up to 580 km on a single charge. Offered in five premium exterior shades and two interior colour options, the ES500e is priced at Rs 89.99 lakh ex-showroom.

With this launch, Lexus India has introduced its first Battery Electric Vehicle for the Indian market, marking a major step in the brand’s electrification journey. First revealed at the Japan Mobility Show 2025, the ES500e reflects Lexus’ “Discover” philosophy, which focuses on creating better products, services, and experiences while helping customers discover new value in their lifestyles.

Since its original debut alongside the LS in 1989, the ES has remained one of Lexus’ core global models, recognized for its refinement, ride comfort, quiet cabin, and spacious interior. Sold in over 80 countries, the ES continues to play an important role in the brand’s portfolio. Lexus has been advancing electrification since the launch of the RX 400h in 2005, steadily expanding its hybrid, plug-in hybrid, and battery electric offerings as part of its carbon-neutral vision.

Developed under the concept of “Experience Elegance and Electrified Sedan,” the all-new ES is designed to deliver a more refined driving experience with enhanced comfort, quietness, and electrified performance. Following Lexus’ multi-pathway strategy, the ES will be offered in both BEV and HEV versions to address diverse mobility needs. The BEV version has now been launched in India, while details of the ES HEV will be announced later this year.

Kohei Chiashi, Lexus International Chief Engineer, said “The ES has long been one of the most popular models in the Lexus lineup for the Indian market, and today we are delighted to launch the All-New ES500e. This feature-rich vehicle is designed for guests who value driving performance, comfort, and safety, while aspiring to be part of the new ES family. The sedan offers key advantages such as high body rigidity and a low center of gravity, contributing to exceptional ride comfort, handling stability, and quietness. With a flowing silhouette and a spacious interior achieved through thoughtful design and advanced innovation, the new ES further elevates the sedan experience. Built on the newly developed TNGA GA-K platform, the model expands Lexus’ range of electrified vehicle options while contributing to the reduction of carbon emissions, ultimately delivering a fresh and unprecedented sedan experience.”

Hikaru Ikeuchi, President, Lexus India, said, “The All-New Lexus ES500e represents our vision for the future of luxury mobility in India. With the launch of our first BEV for the Indian market, we reinforce our multi-pathway approach to electrification and our commitment to advancing sustainable mobility in the country. True to Lexus’ core values of refinement and a deeply guest-centric philosophy inspired by the Japanese spirit of Omotenashi, the ES seamlessly blends innovation with luxury, comfort, and performance. As India transitions toward a more sustainable mobility ecosystem, we remain dedicated to offering our guests solutions that harmonise environmental consciousness with luxury and advanced technologies. We are confident that the new ES will carry forward the brand’s legacy and take guest delight to a whole new level, further defining the Lexus experience.”
