Lexus ES500e is finally here, and it’s a big moment for Lexus India. This is the brand’s first fully electric car in India, priced at ₹89.9 lakh (ex-showroom), and it sticks closely to what the ES has always stood for.
The ES500e runs on a newly developed lithium-ion battery pack paired with dual eAxles for all-wheel drive.
The DIRECT4 system actively distributes torque between front and rear wheels, improving grip and stability across different driving conditions.
Lexus calls this design philosophy “Clean Tech x Elegance”.
The car looks more like a next-gen EV than a traditional sedan; it’s low, wide and properly futuristic.
Inside, the ES500e focuses on space and minimalism.
The cabin is designed like a lounge; its tech-heavy approach complements the vibe.
Built on the TNGA GA-K platform, the ES500e continues the brand’s affinity towards comfort.
Lexus claims “pleasant time for all seats”; basically, the car is built to be driven and chauffeur-driven.
The sedan comes loaded with Lexus Safety System+.
Lexus is pushing convenience hard here:
The ES500e is an instrument for the brand to test the waters in India’s premium electric space. A worthy opponent for the German giants who rule this segment in the country.
The ES500e feels like a safe but smart entry into India’s luxury EV market. It doesn’t scream performance, but nails what Lexus buyers actually want.
