Lexus India has launched the all-new ES 350h in the country at a starting price of ₹66.10 lakh (ex-showroom). The eighth-generation executive sedan is offered exclusively with hybrid powertrains and is locally manufactured in India, expanding Lexus’ range of locally produced electrified models.
The new ES 350h is available in two variants: Exquisite, priced at ₹66.10 lakh, and Luxury, priced at ₹71.80 lakh (ex-showroom). The model is part of Lexus’ multi-pathway approach to electrification and combines a 2.5-litre four-cylinder petrol engine with a newly developed hybrid system, electric motor and lithium-ion battery.
The petrol engine produces 139 kW of maximum power and 237 Nm of torque, while the electric motor develops up to 119.1 kW. Lexus claims its fuel efficiency is 25.22 km/litre.
New design and larger dimensions
The new ES adopts Lexus’ “Provocative Simplicity” design philosophy and is larger than the existing model. It measures 5,145 mm in length, 1,920 mm in width and 1,575 mm in height, with a wheelbase of 2,950 mm.
The increased dimensions are aimed at creating a more spacious cabin and improving passenger comfort. At the front, the sedan gets new twin L signature lamps, while at the rear there is a redesigned L signature lamp treatment.
The ES 350h also features electronic door-latch release with Safe Exit Assist, which adds an extra layer of safety when passengers exit the vehicle.
Inside, the sedan gets Lexus’ Tazuna Cockpit Concept, a 14-inch high-definition touchscreen with the latest Lexus interface and a fully digital instrument cluster. The cabin also features responsive hidden switches, integrating physical controls into the interior while maintaining a clean and minimalist dashboard design.
New hybrid powertrain
