Lexus has today launched the internal combustion engine (ICE) version of the ES sedan in the country. The Lexus ES 350h has been launched in India with a starting ex-showroom price tag of Rs 66.10 lakh. Sharing this update the automaker revealed that it has also kicked open bookings for the same across the country.
With this launch the ES 350h joins the all-electric ES 500e, giving buyers the choice between an electric and hybrid powertrains. The ES electric was launched earlier this year at Rs 89.99 lakh (ex-showroom). The new ES 350h will be produced in India, continuing the localisation strategy that began with the previous-generation ES.
Lexus India has launched the new ES 350h in an ex-showroom price range of Rs 66.10 to Rs 71.80 lakh. Here are the detailed variant-wise prices:
ES 350h Exquisite Rs 66,10,000
ES 350h Luxury Rs 71,80,000
The eighth-generation ES has been redesigned inside and out. It is larger than its predecessor with a longer wheelbase, increased width and a taller stance, which Lexus says results in more cabin space and improved occupant comfort. The sedan also adopts the brand's latest 'Provocative Simplicity' design philosophy and will be offered in six exterior colour options with two interior themes.
Lexus ES 350h: Powertrain
The Lexus ES 350h is powered by a newly developed self-charging hybrid system that combines a 2.5L four-cylinder petrol engine with a new eAxle and lithium-ion battery pack. The updated hybrid setup has been designed to deliver improved performance, fuel efficiency and quieter operation while using a more compact battery package.

Safety equipment includes the latest Lexus Safety System+, featuring a Pre-Collision System, All-Speed Dynamic Radar Cruise Control, Lane Tracing Assist and a Driver Monitor on the Luxury variant. Connected car functions allow owners to remotely operate features such as engine start, climate control, door locks and vehicle tracking through the Lexus Connected app.
Hikaru Ikeuchi, President of Lexus India, said, "As we continue to strengthen our ES family, the All-New ES 350h will be manufactured in India, following the success of the previous generation, reaffirming our enduring commitment to the Indian market.
