Lexus has started the pre-sale of the new generation of the ES in Brazil. The luxury sedan initially arrives in the ES 350h hybrid version, with a suggested price of R$ 399.990, while the all-electric ES 500e variant is already confirmed to land in the country by the end of 2026.
Imported from Japan, the model marks the arrival of the eighth generation of the ES, the best-selling sedan in the history of Toyota’s premium division. The first units begin to be delivered in October, the month in which the launch price will also be maintained, according to the manufacturer.
In addition to the renewed look and the increase in dimensions, the new ES debuts the sixth generation of Lexus’ hybrid technology and expands the list of comfort, connectivity and safety equipment.
Hybrid engine yields 247 hp
The mechanical set combines a 2.5-liter aspirated four-cylinder gasoline engine, which delivers 189 hp and 24,1 kgfm of torque, with an electric motor of 162 hp and 27,7 kgfm. The combined power reaches 247 hp, always associated with the Hybrid Transaxle transmission and front-wheel drive. According to Lexus, the sedan accelerates from 0 to 100 km/h in 7.7 seconds.
Consumption reaches 18,6 km/l
One of the main highlights of the new ES is energy efficiency. According to Inmetro data, the sedan averages 18.6 km/l in the city and 16.4 km/l on the highway, always fueled with gasoline.
