2027 Lexus ES Lineup Priced From $49,005 With 307-Mile Electric Range

Lexus has confirmed pricing for the 2027 ES, the first year its long-running sedan comes as an electric car, a dual-motor electric car, or a hybrid, all built on the same platform. Prices start at $49,005 for the front-wheel-drive ES 350e and climb to $60,405 for the all-wheel-drive ES 500e Luxury. The hybrid ES 350h sits in the middle, from $51,200. All three reach dealerships in September.

The pricing gives buyers a genuine choice at the point of sale rather than a single powertrain with trim tweaks. The ES 350e covers up to 307 miles on a charge. The ES 350h returns 46 mpg combined. Both share the same cabin, the same driver-assist suite, and the same styling, so the decision comes down to how a driver fuels the car, not which one feels more like a Lexus.

Three Powertrains Under One Body

Every 2027 ES rides on what Lexus calls a multi-pathway platform, an evolution of the outgoing car’s TNGA-K underpinnings built to accept a combustion hybrid system or a pair of electric motors without changing the body shell. The ES 350e uses a single 221-hp electric motor driving the front wheels and reaches 60 mph in an estimated 7.4 seconds. The ES 500e adds a second 118-hp motor at the rear axle for all-wheel drive, a combined 338 hp, and a 5.1-second run to 60 mph. Both electric models draw from the same 74.7-kWh lithium-ion battery pack mounted in the floor.

The ES 350h keeps a 2.5-liter four-cylinder engine paired with Lexus’ sixth-generation hybrid system, producing 244 hp whether buyers pick front-wheel drive or the newly available all-wheel-drive option. That all-wheel-drive hybrid adds a 54-hp electric motor at the rear axle purely for traction, a first for the ES hybrid line. Output on the outgoing 2025 ES 300h topped out at 215 hp, so the new hybrid gains close to 30 hp on top of the extra drive-wheel option.

What Each Trim Costs

Lexus lists six configurations for the 2027 ES, with prices including the $1,395 delivery fee:

• ES 350e Premium (FWD electric): $49,005
• ES 500e Premium AWD (electric): $52,005
• ES 350e Luxury (FWD electric): $57,405
• ES 500e Luxury AWD (electric): $60,405
• ES 350h Premium (FWD hybrid): $51,200
• ES 350h Premium AWD (hybrid): $52,600
• ES 350h Premium+ (FWD hybrid): $56,000
• ES 350h Premium+ AWD (hybrid): $57,400

Buyers who want the ES 350e’s longest possible range pay less than the entry hybrid, a reversal of the usual pattern where the electric version costs more. Lexus attributes the pricing to the shared platform reducing the cost gap between powertrains.

Range, Fuel Economy and Charging

The ES 350e’s 307-mile EPA-estimated range applies to the standard 19-inch wheels; stepping up to the optional 21-inch wheels drops that to 292 miles. The heavier, more powerful ES 500e rates at 276 miles on 19-inch wheels and 272 miles on 21s.

The hybrid trades range anxiety for fuel stops. Front-wheel-drive ES 350h models rate at 46 mpg combined (48 city, 44 highway), while the all-wheel-drive version drops slightly to 44 mpg combined.

Both electric ES models use a NACS charge port under a power-operated door, with a CCS-to-NACS adapter included for compatibility with the wider public charging network. Lexus estimates a 10-80% DC fast charge in roughly 28 minutes at up to 150 kW, and a full Level 2 charge in about seven hours from a home charger.

Cabin Tech and Safety Come Standard Across the Range

Every 2027 ES, regardless of powertrain, gets a 12.3-inch driver display, a 14.0-inch center touchscreen running the latest Lexus Interface software, and Lexus Safety System+ 4.0. That safety suite adds automatic emergency braking with pedestrian detection, lane centering, road sign recognition, and a new intersection turn assist that watches for pedestrians and oncoming vehicles when a driver turns.

Buyers who choose the ES 350e Luxury can add an Executive package built around the rear seats: four-way power adjustment with recline and a deployable ottoman on the passenger side, heating, ventilation, a massage function, and its own climate zone. Wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto come standard across the lineup, along with a wireless phone charger.

A Bigger Cabin Than the Outgoing ES

The eighth-generation body underneath every 2027 ES grew on nearly every interior dimension. The wheelbase stretched 3.1 inches, overall length grew 6.5 inches, and width grew 2.2 inches over the previous-generation car. Rear seat legroom picked up 1.4 inches, rear headroom grew 0.4 inch, and front shoulder room expanded 1.6 inches. Lexus also raised the front and rear hip points, a change aimed at making the car easier to climb into and out of rather than just roomier once seated.

Buyers can tell the powertrains apart at a glance. The electric ES 350e and ES 500e carry a smoother front end with fewer intake openings and a power-operated charge port door on the front passenger fender, a detail chosen to trim aerodynamic drag to a 0.25 coefficient. The hybrid ES 350h keeps a conventional fuel door on the rear quarter panel and a front bumper with a larger upper air intake to cool its engine.

Options Worth Knowing About

A Cold Area package on both electric and hybrid trims adds a windshield wiper de-icer and headlamp washer, useful for buyers in northern states who plan to keep the ES through winter. A Convenience package bundles automatic parking assist, rear pedestrian detection, and Lane Change Assist onto Premium trims that don’t get them standard. Buyers who want the largest wheels can step up to a 21-inch set on either electric model, though Lexus’ own figures show that upgrade costs 15 miles of range on the ES 350e and 4 miles on the ES 500e.

When and Where to Buy

Lexus builds the ES 350e, ES 500e and ES 350h at the Toyota Motor Kyushu plant in Japan, with US deliveries starting in September through the brand’s 244 dealers. The eighth-generation ES first launched for the 2026 model year and carries over largely unchanged for 2027, with the electric versions marking the nameplate’s first departure from gas-only and hybrid power in its 37 years on sale.
