The Lexus ES in India features a sophisticated 2.5-liter four-cylinder petrol engine integrated with a high-output electric motor, creating an efficient self-charging hybrid system. This powertrain produces a combined 214 bhp, ensuring a smooth and hushed driving experience that is synonymous with the Lexus brand. For the 2026 model year, the lineup is bolstered by the introduction of the ES 500e, an all-electric variant delivering a massive 343 hp and 438 Nm of torque via a dual-motor all-wheel-drive system.
Acceleration in the hybrid model is managed by an electronically controlled Continuously Variable Transmission (e-CVT), providing linear power delivery and impressive fuel economy of 22.58 kmpl. Meanwhile, the electric ES 500e offers instantaneous throttle response, enabling a 0-100 km/h sprint in roughly 5.5 seconds. Both versions prioritize environmental efficiency and mechanical refinement, making the ES a leader in the luxury green-mobility space within the Indian market.
