Lexus ES (2026) Price & Specs
The new Lexus ES sedan will soon launch in South Africa, available in both hybrid and – for the first time – fully electric form. Here’s what it will cost you…
- New ES range comprises 3 variants
- Pair of HEV derivatives & EV flagship
- Starting price crosses into 7 figures
The new Lexus ES is scheduled to hit the market in South Africa soon, offered in both traditional hybrid electric vehicle (HEV) and fully electric vehicle (EV) guise. And Cars.co.za can confirm pricing for this 8th-generation luxury sedan ahead of launch.
Revealed in China in April 2025, the new ES measures 5 140 mm from nose to tail, making its some 165 mm longer than the outgoing version. The wheelbase, meanwhile, grows 80 mm to 2 950 mm, with overall height and width both up, too.
With the IS and LS no longer available new in Mzansi, the ES soldiers on as the last surviving Lexus sedan. The local XZ20-series Lexus ES line-up again comprises a trio of derivatives. However, while the outgoing portfolio featured purely petrol-powered and hybrid derivatives, the 8th-gen version is offered in both hybrid and – for the first time – fully electric form.
The new Lexus ES 350h EX is priced at R1 051 200. With the old petrol-only ES 250 EX gone, the range’s starting price effectively increases by R199 700 (meaning the ES no longer represents the entry point to the broader Lexus line-up, with the R957 100 UX 300h EX – the only Lexus derivative still priced under 7 figures – inheriting that role).
What does the new Lexus ES cost in South Africa?
DERIVATIVE PRICE
Lexus ES 350h EX R1 051 200
Lexus ES 350h SE R1 232 700
Lexus ES 350e SE R1 561 000
The prices above include a 7-year/105 000 km vehicle warranty, an 8-year/160 000 km battery pack warranty (applicable to both the HEV and EV batteries) and a 7-year/105 000 km maintenance plan.

2026 Lexus ES price & specs in South Africa
Lexus has listed the new-generation ES on its SA website, revealing pricing for the striking sedan. See pricing below…
Unveiled in April 2025, the new Lexus ES has arrived in South Africa, with the Japanese automaker’s local arm listing pricing and specs on its website. Locally, the eighth generation will be available with two powertrain options: hybrid (HEV) and battery-electric (BEV)
Offered with EX and SE specification, HEV (350h) models pair a 2.5-litre, four-cylinder petrol engine, coupled with a continuously variable transmission (CVT), with an electric motor for a combined power output of 182 kW. (The engine produces 139 kW and 235 N.m on its own.) Lexus claims an average fuel consumption of 4.4 L/100 km, 0-100 km/h sprint time of 7.7 seconds, and a 200 km/h top speed for the HEV models.
Exclusively available in SE spec, the BEV (350e) variant is equipped with a single electric motor producing 165 kW and 267 N.m – good for a claimed 0-100 km/h sprint time of 8.0 seconds. Lexus claims a top speed of 160 km/h. The 350e offers a claimed operating range of 615 km (NEDC) from a fully charged 74.69 kWh lithium-ion battery.

New Lexus ES launches in South Africa: 2026 pricing and specs
Sporting striking exterior styling, the new Lexus ES has officially launched in South Africa in hybrid and EV formats. See pricing below…
Unveiled in April 2025, the new Lexus ES has officially arrived in South Africa, with the Japanese automaker’s local arm announcing pricing and specs for the three-strong model lineup at the Cape Town-based launch. The eighth generation will be available in hybrid (HEV) and battery-electric (BEV) formats in our country.
Offered in EX and SE trim grades, the 350h (HEV) pairs a 139 kW/235 N.m 2.5-litre naturally aspirated four-cylinder petrol engine with an electric motor. The combined power output is rated at 182 kW, delivered to the front wheels via a CVT transmission. The carmaker claims an average fuel consumption of 4.4 L/100 km, which translates to a driving range of 1 250 km from a full, 55-litre tank of unleaded. The HEV variant has a claimed 0-100 km/h sprint time of 7.7 seconds and a 200 km/h top speed.
Exclusively available in SE spec, the 350e (BEV) variant is equipped with a single electric motor producing 165 kW and 267 N.m, which is good for a claimed 0-100 km/h sprint time of 8.0 seconds. Lexus claims a top speed of 160 km/h. The 350e offers a claimed operating range of 615 km when its 74.69 kWh lithium-ion battery is fully charged.
Included as standard across the range are rain-sensing wipers, auto-on LED headlamps with high-beam functionality, LED taillamps, and alloy wheels – the latter measuring 19 and 21 inches on the HEV and BEV, respectively. Digital instrumentation and touchscreen infotainment, replete with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, are also present. SE grade gains a Mark Levinson audio system, head-up display, and a panoramic sunroof.
