The 2027 Lexus ES lineup carries over unchanged from its eighth-generation redesign, with the front-wheel-drive ES 350e holding a 307-mile EPA-estimated range rating on standard 19-inch wheels at an MSRP of $49,005. Lexus has set pricing across all eight 2027 ES model codes, covering two battery-electric variants and front- and all-wheel-drive versions of the ES 350h hybrid. The company says the ES 350h is expected to reach dealerships in September with a $49,805 base MSRP. All three powertrains share the multi-pathway platform that Lexus introduced on the 2026 ES, and every model is assembled at the Toyota Motor Kyushu plant in Japan.

Powertrain and Range Across the 2027 ES Lineup
The battery-electric models draw from a common 74.7-kWh lithium-ion pack mounted in the floor beneath the passenger compartment. The ES 350e uses a single permanent magnet synchronous motor at the front axle; the ES 500e adds a second unit at the rear and runs Lexus’ DIRECT4 torque distribution, which the company says varies front-to-rear split between 100:0 and 0:100 using wheel speed, acceleration, and steering angle inputs.
The ES 350h pairs a 2.5-liter four-cylinder engine rated at 186 hp and 173 lb-ft with a motor-generator producing 201 hp and 199 lb-ft, routed through an electronically controlled CVT. All-wheel-drive hybrids add a 54-hp e-Axle at the rear, with an effective torque split ranging from 100:0 to 20:80.
| Model | Output | Drivetrain | Range / Economy (19-in. wheels) | 0–60 mph |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| ES 350e | 221 hp | FWD, single motor | 307 mi EPA-est. | 7.4 sec |
| ES 500e | 338 hp combined | AWD, dual motor (DIRECT4) | 276 mi EPA-est. | 5.1 sec |
| ES 350h (FWD) | 244 hp combined | FWD, hybrid | 46 MPG EPA-est. combined | Not stated |
| ES 350h (AWD) | 244 hp combined | AWD, hybrid + e-Axle | 44 MPG EPA-est. combined | Not stated |
Optional 21-inch wheels reduce range on both BEVs — to 292 miles on the ES 350e and 272 miles on the ES 500e. The hybrid’s full EPA-estimated ratings are 48 MPG city and 44 MPG highway with front-wheel drive, and 47/42 with all-wheel drive.
How Fast Does the 2027 ES Charge?
Both BEV models carry a North American Charging System (NACS) J3400-style port behind a power-operated door on the passenger-side front fender. Lexus includes a CCS (J1772)-to-NACS adapter with every ES BEV, which the company says makes the sedan compatible with more than 76,000 Level 2 and Level 3 public stations nationwide.
Under ideal conditions, the 11-kW onboard AC charger completes a Level 2 charge in about seven hours, and Level 3 charging from 10 to 80 percent takes roughly 28 minutes at speeds up to 150 kW. Battery Preconditioning adjusts pack temperature ahead of a charging stop and can be triggered from the touchscreen or automatically when a public charger is set as a destination through Cloud Navigation. Plug & Charge is available with an active Remote Connect subscription. The smoother front-end treatment on the BEV models, which uses minimal apertures, contributes to a 0.25 drag coefficient.
Cabin Technology and Safety Content
Every 2027 ES includes a 12.3-inch driver Multi-Information Display and a 14.0-inch touchscreen running the latest Lexus Interface, with over-the-air software updates and an integrated Drive Recorder. Lexus Safety System+ 4.0 is standard across the lineup and includes Risk Avoidance Emergency Steer Assist, Intersection Turn Assist, and Proactive Driving Assist. Traffic Jam Assist, which provides hands-free steering assistance in low-speed limited-access traffic and can bring the vehicle to a stop and resume, is standard on Luxury and Premium+ trims and available on Premium.
Wavelength and Copper Crest join the ES color palette alongside Caviar, Ultra White, Cloudburst Gray, and Iridium.
