If you’ve ever thought of the Lexus ES as just a reliable, quiet sedan, the new 2026 Lexus ES will make you think twice. It’s ditching the plain-Jane vibe and stepping up with a bold new look and some neat tech.
What’s Different This Time?
- The design is sharper and way more eye-catching. That big grille? It’s aggressive now. Plus, the headlights are sleeker, and the whole car sits lower and wider.
- Under the hood, expect a turbocharged engine option and an improved hybrid system. It should be more fun to drive, but still comfy.
- The chassis is tougher, so handling gets better. You’ll feel it around corners and on bumpy roads.
Inside the Cabin
- There’s a big touchscreen that floats above the dashboard. Apple CarPlay and Android Auto work wirelessly now—no cables needed.
- Leather seats, wood trim, and soft lighting make it feel cozy and upscale.
- The digital instrument panel is customizable so you can see what matters most.
Safety Stuff
Lexus isn’t messing around here. The 2026 ES comes loaded with:
- Adaptive cruise control
- Lane centering
- Automatic emergency braking
- Driver attention alerts
- Better blind-spot monitoring
How It Stacks Up
The new ES is gunning for the BMW 5 Series, Audi A6, and Mercedes E-Class. It’s got the looks, tech, and comfort to compete with the best in midsize luxury sedans.
The Bottom Line
The 2026 Lexus ES has gone from a safe, steady choice to a seriously stylish and tech-savvy car. If you want a midsize luxury sedan that’s a bit more exciting but still comfortable, keep an eye on this one.
