Here at Jim White Lexus of Toledo, we know that several of our valued customers are seeking ways to save money at the pump or reduce emissions whenever possible. That’s why we’re excited to discuss the 2026 Lexus ES 350h and ES 350e! Keep reading to learn more about the hybrid and all-electric versions of this luxury midsize sedan.
Performance
The 2026 Lexus ES 350h has a standard hybrid powertrain consisting of a 2.5L 4-cylinder engine that works with either two or three motors, depending on whether you select the standard FWD or available AWD system. Together, these components produce 244 combined horsepower1. The ES 350e only has a standard FWD system and is equipped with a single 167 kW AC synchronous electric motor that achieves 221 horsepower1. The ES 350h provides a standard fuel economy of 48/44/46 MPG city/hwy/combined2, allowing you to soar throughout Sylvania without spending a fortune on gas. Meanwhile, the ES 350e’s 307 miles of EPA-estimated driving range3 is more than enough for people living in urban and suburban environments.
Lifestyle and Charging
Drivers who want to maximize each tank of gas they buy as they travel to Veterans Memorial Park and beyond will likely gravitate toward the ES 350h. As a hybrid vehicle, it does not require any charging and automatically uses the gas and all-electric components of its powertrain to provide excellent efficiency. On the other hand, those who are interested in an environmentally friendly, zero-emission vehicle may prefer the 2026 Lexus ES 350e. All models are equipped with a NACS charging port with Plug and Charge4 capability. This means you can charge the vehicle at home using a Level 1 or professionally-installed Level 2 charger5, or you can use a public Level 2 or DC Fast Charging6 station for convenient public charging.
Interior
Both the ES 350h and ES 350e have thoughtfully designed interiors that will make casual cruises to places like Pacesetter Park feel like special events. You’ll be able to enjoy two spacious rows of seating that welcome up to five people inside the cabin of both models. Both vehicles come standard with 10-way power-adjustable front seats, and the ES 350e Luxury trim offers 14-way variants for added comfort. On the dashboard of either model, you’ll find a standard next-generation Lexus Interface7 14.0-inch touchscreen display that provides easy access to infotainment controls. Finally, you can use the standard Drive Recorder8 found in either option to document exciting drives or simply record your travels for safety purposes.
