The all‑new Lexus ES luxury sedan is ready to arrive in India soon, with Lexus officially confirming the launch on March 20, 2026. This new version is a complete redesign for the ES and brings a fresh look, more space, and many modern features that were not available on the older model. The new ES will be a strong competitor to other premium cars like the Mercedes‑Benz E‑Class, BMW 5 Series LWB and Audi A6 in the luxury sedan segment.
The latest ES is larger than the previous model in every direction. It is longer, wider and taller than before, and the wheelbase has increased too, giving more space for passengers inside the cabin. The front design is sharper and more modern, with a new lower air intake and stylish LED lights. At the back, a full-width LED light bar with ‘LEXUS’ lettering gives the car a more unique look on the road.
Inside the new Lexus ES, the cabin has been redesigned to be more tech‑friendly and clean. A larger 14‑inch touchscreen now controls many vehicle functions, and Lexus includes features like wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto for easy smartphone connectivity. The driver also gets a 12.3‑inch digital display, and the overall layout moves away from many physical buttons to a more clean style.
Comfort and luxury are key parts of the new ES. The sedan is expected to offer powered front seats with memory functions, adjustable interior lighting and reclining rear seats, with optional ottoman and massage functions for a more relaxing ride. A high‑end Mark Levinson sound system and advanced safety systems are also part of the package.
In terms of power and performance, the new ES will continue with electrified engines. Globally, the next‑generation ES is offered with both hybrid and fully electric variants, though the hybrid setup is likely to be the focus for the Indian market. The hybrid models feature petrol engines paired with e‑CVT transmissions, and these will be offered with front‑wheel drive or all‑wheel drive options in some versions.
The new design also uses modern technology aimed at comfort and driver support. Improved noise insulation helps make the cabin quieter, and advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS) such as adaptive cruise control, pre‑collision safety and lane‑departure monitoring are expected to be standard.
The next‑generation ES is built on a platform that can support both hybrid and electric engines, marking a step forward in Lexus’s efforts to offer more electrified vehicles around the world. This means that future versions of the ES could arrive with fully electric options in India.
For car buyers in India, the new Lexus ES represents a strong choice in the luxury midsize sedan category, combining modern design, advanced technology and premium comfort. With its larger body and updated features, Lexus hopes to attract buyers who want a luxury experience that feels modern and comfortable.
The launch of the 2026 Lexus ES in India show Lexus’s effortsin the luxury car market, offering buyers a fresh option with a modern design and high‑tech interior that matches the expectations of premium car enthusiasts.
