More than just a gussied-up Camry, the 2026 ES is Lexus's luxury ethos summed up in a handsome four-door package. The ES is known for its quiet operation, premium interior, and comfort-first road manners, and although it's been redesigned for the 2026 model year, that hasn't changed. This year, the ES ditches its nonhybrid powertrain for hybrid and electric ones (we review the EV model separately).
The ES350h is powered by a four-cylinder hybrid setup with 244 horsepower and front- or all-wheel drive. Entry-level models may show their Toyota roots a bit, but loaded versions of the ES350h are better equipped to rival other mid-size luxury sedans that start at higher price tags, which gives the Lexus a bang-for-your-buck appeal that's unique in this segment.
