The overview
The ES midsized luxury sedan was redesigned for 2026. The eighth-generation ES is 6.5 inches longer, drops the gas-only model, and adds an all-electric version. There's a 221-hp, single-motor, front-wheel-drive 350e with an EPA-estimated range of up to 307 miles, and the 338-hp, dual-motor, all-wheel-drive 500e with an EPA-estimated range of up to 276 miles. A 244-hp hybrid is also available. Our 500e test car's strengths aren’t on the stat sheet, as its driving range, 5.2-second 0-to-60-mph time, and 150-kW maximum DC fast-charging rate lag behind competitors. Instead, it stands out as one of the quietest, most comfortable luxury sedans you can buy. Occupants benefit from comfortable and supportive front seats and a rear seat that is both spacious and plush. The ES debuts a clean, minimalist interior design, but that simplicity comes at a cost: Most climate and audio functions have been moved onto a 14-inch central touchscreen.
