On March 20, luxury vehicle company Lexus will launch the revamped Lexus ES sedan in India. The premium sedan is already one of the most popular Lexus models in the country, especially among people who want a comfortable car with hybrid technology that can drive long distances.
The new Lexus ES India will have small changes to its look, better interior features, and the brand’s famous hybrid powertrain. The car is still aimed at people who desire a high-end luxury sedan instead of a fast sports car.
Industry sources say that the launch event will show off the updated ES, which will have changes that are in line with the global facelift model that has previously been shown throughout the world.
New Lexus ES design expected for India
The new Lexus ES India model is likely to have the same exquisite appearance that Lexus is known for. The sedan’s front grille, lights, and alloy wheels are set to undergo new designs.
The Lexus spindle grille will still be on the front of the car, giving it a strong presence on the road. The premium look will be even sharper with the addition of slim LED headlights and new daytime running lights.
The ES will keep its long wheelbase shape from the side, which makes the back seat more comfortable. New designs for alloy wheels are likely to make them seem better.
At the back, there may be small tweaks to the appearance, such new LED tail lights and a cleaner bumper layout.
In general, the new style will be classy instead of aggressive, which fits with Lexus’s concentration on luxury.
Lexus ES Interior 2026
The New Lexus ES will still focus on comfort and high-quality materials inside the interior. Lexus has traditionally marketed the ES as a premium sedan that is easy for a chauffeur to drive, something Indian consumers like.
Expected highlights of the inside are:
- Big touchscreen for entertainment
- High-quality leather upholstery
- Ventilated front seats
- Electrically adjustable rear seats in higher variants
- Mark Levinson high-end sound system
- Smartphone communication without wires
- Digital instrument panel
Comfort in the back seat will still be one of the best things about this car. The ES offers excellent legroom, reclining rear seats and a very smooth ride which makes it ideal for long journeys or chauffeur driven usage.
The overall motif of the cabin will probably include wood accents, soft-touch materials, and Lexus’s famous craftsmanship.
Hybrid powertrain expected to continue
The new Lexus ES India model will likely keep the same hybrid system that charges itself.
The sedan now has a 2.5-liter petrol hybrid engine, an electric motor, and an eCVT transmission.
Expected performance:
- 2.5-liter gasoline hybrid engine
- Power output: about 215 hp total
- Automatic eCVT transmission
Type of drive: Front wheel drive
The hybrid technology is noted for giving power smoothly and being quite efficient for a luxury vehicle. A lot of people buy the Lexus ES because it is a premium sedan that is also very efficient.
When the car is in electric mode, it can drive quietly in the city, which is another benefit of the hybrid system.
Features and technology upgrades expected
The business is likely to incorporate new digital elements to the Lexus ES India launch.
Some things that could be included are:
- Bigger infotainment system
- Lexus Safety System has been updated.
- Adaptive cruise control
- Help in keeping your lane
- Monitoring blind spots
- Camera with 360 degrees
In India, these driver aid technologies are becoming more and more vital for high-end cars.
People also expect Lexus to make the software experience and connectivity aspects better.
Expected price of New Lexus ES in India
The price of the current Lexus ES in India ranges from ₹63 lakh to ₹69 lakh (ex showroom), depending on the model.
The New Lexus ES’s estimated price could start at approximately this amount with the update and new features:
₹68 lakh to ₹75 lakh (without including the showroom)
This pricing range will put the car up against other high-end sedans that are already on the Indian market.
Competition in the luxury sedan segment
Once it comes out, the New Lexus ES India will compete with other high-end sedans like
The BMW 5 Series
The E Class from Mercedes Benz
The Audi A6
Lexus, on the other hand, stands out because of its hybrid technology, smooth ride comfort, and very quiet cabin.
A lot of people also choose Lexus since they know it will last a long time and be reliable.
