New Lexus ES 350h Design
Lexus has introduced its latest design philosophy in the new ES 350h. The front profile features twin L Signature Lamps, while the rear section features an L-shaped signature lighting treatment.
The sedan’s size is also larger than before. The new ES 350h measures 5,145mm in length, 1,920mm in width, and 1,575mm in height. Its wheelbase is 2,950mm, which provides additional space inside the cabin.
The car comes with premium alloy wheels with 235/55 R19 tires. Electronic door handles are also provided, which are integrated with Safe Exit Assist.
Exterior color options include White Nova, Sonic Titanium, Sonic Chrome, Graphite Black, SOU, and Sonic Copper.
Lexus ES 350h Hybrid Engine & Mileage
The new Lexus ES 350h features a 2.5-liter four-cylinder petrol engine paired with a lithium-ion battery and a new eAxle.
The petrol engine produces 186 bhp and 237 Nm, while the permanent-magnet synchronous electric motor produces 159 bhp.
This is a self-charging hybrid system, meaning the car doesn’t need to be plugged into an external charger to charge the battery.
Its most impressive aspect is fuel efficiency. The ARAI-certified mileage of the Lexus ES 350h is 25.22 km/l, which is a strong figure for luxury sedan buyers.
Premium Cabin with 14-Inch Display
The cabin has also been completely updated. The new ES 350h features Lexus’ Tazuna cockpit concept, featuring a 14-inch high-definition touchscreen along with a fully digital instrument cluster.
The infotainment system is based on the Lexus Interface. The dashboard also features responsive hidden switches, with some physical controls neatly integrated into interior surfaces.
The larger dimensions also provide additional space for occupants in the cabin. Lexus has also focused heavily on ride comfort and cabin refinement, making the ES 350h a more comfortable option for long-distance journeys.

Lexus ES 350h vs ES 500e
Lexus also launched its all-electric version, the ES 500e, in India before the ES 350h. The ES 500e was introduced in March 2026 at a starting ex-showroom price of ₹89.99 lakh.
The ES 350h, however, is a more practical proposition for buyers who want a luxury sedan with strong fuel efficiency but don’t want to depend on charging infrastructure.

Auto India Daily Verdict
The new Lexus ES 350h takes a slightly different approach to a typical luxury sedan. Its Rs. 66.10 lakh starting price, impressive claimed efficiency of 25.22 kmpl, and self-charging hybrid setup make it particularly attractive for buyers who want luxury, comfort, and efficiency together.
Bigger dimensions, a premium cabin, a 14-inch touchscreen, and an extensive safety kit also strengthen the package.
The biggest plus point is its hybrid powertrain and low running-cost potential, while the top variant pricing, which goes up to Rs. 71.80 lakh, may seem a bit on the premium side for some buyers.
Still, if the priority is luxury, refinement, and fuel efficiency, the new ES 350h is a seriously compelling option in its segment. According to Auto India Daily, the ES 350h is a strong next-generation step in Lexus’ India strategy.
