The 2027 Lexus ES BEV: Luxury, Performance, and Up to 307 Miles of Range

2027 Lexus ES BEV

The 2027 Lexus ES BEV brings electric power to a luxury sedan built around quiet travel, a spacious cabin, and straightforward charging. Buyers can prioritize maximum driving range with the Lexus ES 350e or add considerably more power and DIRECT4 all-wheel drive with the Lexus ES 500e. Woodfield Lexus takes a closer look at what both electric models offer.

Electric Performance

The front-wheel-drive 2027 Lexus ES 350e uses a single permanent-magnet electric motor producing 221 horsepower and reaches 60 mph in an estimated 7.4 seconds. The 2027 Lexus ES 500e adds a 118-horsepower rear motor for 338 combined horsepower and cuts the estimated 0–60 time to 5.1 seconds.

Available DIRECT4 all-wheel drive can continuously adjust front-to-rear torque distribution based on factors such as wheel speed, acceleration, and steering input. Both models also place their battery beneath the passenger compartment, contributing to a low center of gravity.

Interior Design and Technology

Electric propulsion naturally removes engine noise from the equation, but Lexus goes further to create a calm cabin inside the 2027 Lexus ES BEV. Laminated side glass helps limit outside noise, and the Lexus Driving Signature system emphasizes smoothness without isolating the driver from the road.

Technology is equally consistent across the lineup. A 14-inch Lexus Interface™ touchscreen and 12.3-inch Multi-Information Display™ come standard, along with wireless Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto™ compatibility, wireless device charging, and an integrated Drive Recorder. Available appointments include semi-aniline leather-trimmed seating, LED-backlit layered bamboo trim, and a 17-speaker, 1,800-watt Mark Levinson®* PurePlay Surround Sound system.

Safety Features

This new Lexus model includes Lexus Safety System+® 4.0 standard. The suite uses camera and radar technology to assist with collision avoidance, lane positioning, following distance, and other everyday driving situations. Standard features include:

  • Pre-Collision System with Pedestrian Detection
  • Intersection Turn Assist
  • All-Speed Dynamic Radar Cruise Control with Eco-Run Mode
  • Lane Departure Alert with Steering Assist
  • Road Sign Assist
  • Proactive Driving Assist

Additional available driver assistance includes Traffic Jam Assist and Lane Change Assist, extending support to congested expressways and compatible lane changes.

Range and Charging

The Lexus ES 350e delivers up to 307 miles of EPA-estimated range with standard 19-inch wheels, compared with 276 miles for the Lexus ES 500e.** Available 21-inch wheels change those figures to 292 and 272 miles, respectively. A standard NACS charging port provides direct access to compatible chargers. Under ideal conditions, 150-kW DC fast charging can take the battery from 10 percent to 80 percent in about 28 minutes. The standard 11-kW onboard AC charger supports a roughly seven-hour Level 2 charge.
