European version of the 2026 ES announcement spills the beans on some estimated stats. ALL-NEW LEXUS ES TAKES SEDAN STYLING, LUXURY AND REFINEMENT TO A HIGHER LEVEL Powertrain specs: ES 350h: 182 kW (244 hp) ES 350e: 165 kW (221 hp) ES 500e: 252 kW (338 hp) Lexus Europe also includes the 300h version (sold in Western European markets) which also was the 2025 hybrid version for the North American market with a little less power than the previous generation ES 300h (215 hp, 160 kW) at 148 kW (198.5 hp). So where does this stand with the Camry and other sedans in the Toyota lineup? Well the new ES sedan is higher than the lifted Toyota Crown sedan by over 1/2 inch (.6 inches, 15 mm). The new ES is also much longer and wider than either the Toyota Crown or Toyota Camry, so if Lexus wanted any differentiation from the Toyota sedans they got it IMHO. Below are comparison pictures for the Toyota Crown and Camry with the new ES 350h. ES 350h 2026 Toyota Crown 2025 Toyota Camry The new ES will start arriving sometime around spring of 2026.
