Recognizing a renewed appreciation for executive sedans, Lexus Philippines has officially launched the all-new ES. The latest generation is a complete redesign and reflects the brand's vision for the future of luxury mobility, combining electrified performance, intuitive technology, and elevated comfort.
The all-new ES introduces Lexus' latest design gives the executive sedan a more commanding yet elegant presence. It features a sleek fastback-inspired silhouette and a reinterpreted spindle grille. It also rides on a 2,950-mm wheelbase, creating a spacious cabin while contributing to greater ride stability and refinement.
Hybrid and EV
The new ES is offered in two powertrains as part of its multi-pathway approach to electrification, offering customers the flexibility to choose the powertrain that best complements their lifestyle.
The first is the ES 350h is powered by a 2.5-liter inline four-cylinder hybrid powertrain producing 247-PS. The hybrid system preserves the quiet ride quality and seamless driving experience that are hallmarks of the Lexus ES.
Making its Philippine debut is the ES 350e Battery Electric Vehicle, the country's first fully electric Lexus ES. Powered by a 74.69-kWh lithium-ion battery, the ES 350e develops 224 PS and offers an estimated 493 kilometers of driving range under the WLTP testing standard. The vehicle supports both Type 2 AC charging and CCS2 DC fast charging, providing greater convenience for daily commuting and longer journeys alike.
Inside, the cabin design of the all-new ES continues Lexus' philosophy of Omotenashi — the Japanese principle of anticipating the needs of every guest. Every element of the cabin has been thoughtfully designed to create an environment that feels welcoming, intuitive, and effortlessly luxurious.
Whether hybrid or electric, a new 14-inch touchscreen display serves as the centerpiece of the cabin, providing seamless access to vehicle functions, navigation, and connectivity features. Every variant also comes equipped with a panoramic tilt-and-slide sunroof, creating a greater sense of openness for both driver and passengers.
Crafted around Omotenashi
The ES 350h is split into two variants, the Executive and Luxury. The Executive variant features synthetic leather upholstery paired with a 10-speaker audio system, delivering premium comfort as standard. The ES 350h Luxury elevates the experience with perforated synthetic leather seating and a 17-speaker Mark Levinson Premium Surround Sound System, surrounding occupants with concert-quality audio.
At the top of the range, the ES 350e combines semi-aniline leather upholstery, the 17-speaker Mark Levinson audio system, and Adaptive Variable Suspension (AVS) to create the most refined and engaging ES driving experience yet. Exclusive 21-inch alloy wheels further distinguish the flagship model while complementing its enhanced dynamic performance.
Subtle differences are also ecident on the exterior. The ES 350h Executive and ES 350h Luxury features newly designed 19-inch Aero alloy wheels, while the flagship ES 350e Battery Electric Vehicle is distinguished by exclusive 21-inch Luxury alloy wheels, reinforcing its premium character.
Complementing the exterior is a sophisticated selection of finishes, led by Sou, a newly introduced color. Customers may also choose from Sonic Copper, Sonic Titanium, Sonic Chrome, Sonic Iridium, White Nova Glass Flake, and Graphite Black Glass Flake, allowing every ES to reflect its owner's individual style.

Parking and low-speed maneuvering are equally enhanced. The ES 350h Executive is equipped with a Back Guide Monitor, while the ES 350h Luxury and ES 350e feature a Panoramic View Monitor, providing greater visibility of the vehicle's surroundings for added confidence behind the wheel.
The All-New Lexus ES is available in three electrified variants. The ES 350h Executive is priced at P4,108,000; The ES 350h Luxury is priced at P4,308,000. The ES 350e Battery Electric Vehicle is priced at P5,688,000.
