The 2026 Lexus ES arrives with a clear commitment: total electrification and comfort above any sporting aspirations. Available in hybrid 350h or electric 350e and 500e versions, it renews its design and comes standard with heated and ventilated front seats, a heated steering wheel, dual-zone climate control, and a curious radiant knee heater. The trunk, with 17.4 to 18.3 cubic feet, remains generous.
Technology designed for relaxation, not for the asphalt 🛋️
The Executive package on the 350e version introduces reclining rear seats with a massage function and footrest, elevating comfort to living room levels. However, the available space has a clear limit: people over 1.70 meters tall will find the rear cabin somewhat tight for stretching their legs. Wireless charging and dual-zone climate control complete an interior designed to isolate from the outside, not to excite the driver.
The Lexus that warms your legs but leaves you cold if you are tall 🥶
Lexus has managed to make the ES 2026 an oasis of relaxation, as long as you do not exceed average height. The radiant knee heater is a cool detail for cold days, but the reclining rear seat with massage seems designed for a one-size-fits-all passenger. If you are 1.80 meters tall, forget about stretching your legs: you will have to choose between lumbar massage or a fetal position worthy of a low-cost flight. That said, your back will be very grateful.
