Built on the Toyota Camry platform, this sedan is a perfect blend of silent luxury and raw power.

Performance That Packs a Punch

The Lexus ES 500e isn’t just about smooth rides; it’s built for speed. Equipped with a 74.69 kWh battery pack and a dual electric motor setup, the car generates a massive 338 hp. For those who love a quick start, this electric beast can sprint from 0 to 100 kmph in just 5.7 seconds.

But the real kicker is the range. Lexus claims the ES 500e can cover 580 km on a single chargemaking it one of the more practical luxury EVs for long-distance Indian road trips.

A Design That Demands Attention

Visually, the new ES model is sharper and more angular than its predecessors. The front is dominated by striking Z-shaped daytime running lights (DRLs), while the main headlights are cleverly integrated behind a sleek gloss black trim. Instead of a traditional large grille, the bumper features a compact air intake with a unique diamond-pattern insert, giving it a modern, futuristic edge.

A 12.3-inch digital driver display for all your vitals.

A 14-inch touchscreen infotainment system that acts as the car’s nerve center.
