Lexus ES500e India Launch: Price & Features

Lexus India has unveiled the all-new ES500e, marking a significant milestone in the brand's journey toward electrification. This launch introduces Lexus's first Battery Electric Vehicle (BEV) to the Indian market, reinforcing the brand's commitment to sustainable mobility. Priced at ₹89,99,000 ex-showroom, the ES500e represents a fusion of luxury, performance, and environmental consciousness.

Debuting at the Japan Mobility Show 2025, the ES500e embodies Lexus's ethos of "Discover," aiming to offer better products and experiences. This vehicle is a testament to Lexus’s dedication to carbon neutrality, offering both BEV and Hybrid Electric Vehicle (HEV) models to cater to diverse mobility needs. While the BEV has been launched, the HEV details are slated for release later in the year.

Design and Innovation

The design philosophy of the new ES is encapsulated in "Clean Tech x Elegance." Inspired by the LF-ZC BEV concept, the ES features a minimalist aesthetic that pairs functional excellence with emotional appeal. Its aerodynamic form and the new-generation Spindle body accentuate its dynamic performance and luxury appeal. The exterior, with options like White Nova and Sonic Titanium, reflects Lexus's pursuit of provocative simplicity.

Inside, the ES500e offers a sanctuary of luxury with a "Time is Luxury" design concept. The cabin is designed to evoke a sense of spacious openness, featuring a 12.3-inch digital display and ambient lighting. The use of suede materials and advanced sound systems like the Mark Levinson™ Surround Sound System enhances the in-cabin experience, making it feel as inviting as a living room.
