Lexus India has opened bookings for the all-new ES 350h, the self-charging hybrid electric variant of its eighth-generation executive sedan, further strengthening its electrified portfolio in the country. Positioned alongside the recently introduced ES 500e, the ES 350h embodies Lexus’s multi-pathway approach to carbon-neutral mobility while reinforcing its long-term commitment to manufacturing in India.
Expanding Lexus’ electrified lineup in India
The ES has been one of Lexus’ core global models since its debut alongside the flagship LS in 1989, known worldwide for its quietness, ride comfort and spacious interiors. In India, the ES has been a key pillar of the brand’s lineup and has significantly shaped Lexus’ image in the market.
The all-new ES 350h will be manufactured in India, building on the success of the previous locally produced ES 300h. This reinforces Lexus’ deep engagement with the Indian market and ensures that Indian guests receive a product built to global Lexus standards while benefiting from local production advantages. The ES 350h now joins the ES 500e as part of the next-generation electrified ES family, offering guests a choice between Hybrid Electric Vehicle (HEV) and Battery Electric Vehicle (BEV) powertrains.
Bookings are now open across all Lexus Guest Experience Centres in India, with the ES 350h offered in two variants:
-
Exquisite: ₹66,10,000 (ex-showroom)
-
Luxury: ₹71,80,000 (ex-showroom)
Lexus’ vision: multi-pathway electrification and Indian manufacturing
Commenting on the announcement, Hikaru Ikeuchi, President of Lexus India, highlighted that the all-new ES 350h will be manufactured in India, reaffirming the brand’s enduring commitment to the Indian market. He emphasized that the model reflects Lexus’ multi-pathway approach to electrification, combining hybrid and battery-electric technologies to advance sustainable mobility.
He noted that the ES 350h has long been cherished by Indian guests and that the response to the new generation has been very encouraging. Built in India with Lexus’ Takumi craftsmanship and aligned with global quality standards, the ES 350h is designed to deliver advanced technology, exceptional ride comfort and remarkable stability, all rooted in the Japanese philosophy of Omotenashi, or thoughtful hospitality.
Next-generation design: “Provocative Simplicity” and Clean Tech x Elegance
As the eighth-generation ES, the all-new model has been completely redesigned to serve as the flagship of Lexus’ next-generation electrified lineup. It introduces Lexus’ new design language, guided by the philosophy of “Provocative Simplicity,” and a design concept called “Clean Tech x Elegance.”
The ES combines functional and emotional values to create a clean, sophisticated aesthetic. The theme “Pleasant Time for All Seats” has shaped the interior and overall experience, ensuring a relaxing, refined environment for every occupant. Building on its established strengths in quietness and ride comfort, the new ES further enhances driving refinement, cabin ambience and long-distance comfort.
Dimensionally, the ES 350h is larger than its predecessor, with a longer wheelbase, increased width and a taller profile. These changes contribute to:
-
A more commanding road presence
-
Greater interior space
-
Enhanced comfort for both front and rear occupants
Signature Lexus design cues, such as L-shaped lighting and a refined rear profile, are complemented by integrated technologies like electronic door latches with Safe Exit Assist, which add both convenience and safety.
The ES 350h will be available in six premium exterior colours:
-
White Nova

Globally launched in 1989, Lexus has built a reputation for bold design, exceptional craftsmanship and pioneering hybrid technology, with over 3 million hybrid vehicles sold worldwide.
