The Lexus ES 500e marks a major step for Lexus in India as the brand’s first fully electric offering. Launched at an introductory price of ₹89.99 lakh (ex-showroom), this luxury sedan combines performance, range and signature craftsmanship in a futuristic package.
Exterior Design: Sleek, Futuristic and Distinctive
The ES 500e stands out with its sharp, aerodynamic styling. Up front, it features a bold ‘cliff-face’ nose with a blanked-off grille—a signature EV design cue. The twin L-shaped LED daytime running lamps and projector LED headlamps give it a distinctive identity.
The side profile is equally striking, with 21-inch aero-optimised alloy wheels and a unique black Z-shaped trim running along the doors. At the rear, a slim LED light bar stretches across the width, complemented by an illuminated Lexus badge, adding a premium and modern touch.
Interior: Minimalism Meets High-Tech Luxury
Inside, the cabin follows a clean and minimalistic design philosophy. The layout is centred around dual digital displays that handle infotainment and driver information seamlessly.
A 3-spoke steering wheel, touch-enabled centre console controls, and premium materials elevate the sense of luxury. The clutter-free dashboard and refined finishes create a calm, tech-forward environment expected from a modern luxury EV.
Performance & Range: Power Meets Efficiency
The ES 500e is powered by a 74.68kWh battery pack paired with dual electric motors, one on each axle.
- Power Output: 343hp
- Torque: 438Nm
- 0–100 km/h: 5.5 seconds
- Claimed Range: Up to 580km
This setup ensures quick acceleration along with all-wheel-drive capability, enhancing stability and control.
What Makes It Stand Out
- First all-electric offering from Lexus in India
- Premium, futuristic design with strong road presence
- Long driving range of up to 580km
- Dual-motor AWD setup
- Minimal yet luxurious interior with advanced tech
AutoIQ Take
The Lexus ES 500e isn’t just about going electric—it represents a shift toward refined, sustainable luxury. With its strong range, modern design and premium features, it stands out as a compelling option in India’s luxury EV space in 2026.
