Lexus has announced that the 2026 Lexus ES 350h will go on sale in June, which is the only gas powered version of the new ES, since the other two versions are fully electric.
The ES 350h and ES 350e and ES 500e battery-electric models all share the same platform, but the ES 350h is powered by a 2.5-liter four-cylinder gas engine, an electric starter-generator, and a motor-generator integrated into the CVT powering the front wheels. The all-wheel drive option adds an additional electric motor mounted at the rear axle.
The output is 244 horsepower on both front-wheel-drive and all-wheel-drive ES 350h trims, which is up from the 215 hp the last generation ES 350h offered. The front-wheel drive version is expected to have a combined rating of 46 mpg.
The pricing for the ES 350h starts at $52,490, which is actually higher than the fully electric ES 350e, which starts at $50,090.
