Shop Your New ES This Labor Day at Lexus of Woodland Hills
The 2026 Lexus ES is not a refresh. It is the eighth generation of the ES, rebuilt from the platform up. It also arrives with the biggest change in the model’s history since 1989. There is no longer a gas-only ES. The lineup is now hybrid or electric.
That makes this Labor Day weekend a useful time to shop one at Lexus of Woodland Hills. Choosing an ES is no longer a question of which trim. It is a question of which powertrain, and that decision is easier with all three in front of you. Our Labor Day Sales Event is running now, so this is the right weekend to sort it out in person.
2026 Lexus ES Pricing: All Eight Configurations
Here is the whole lineup priced from lowest to highest. You can walk into the showroom this Labor Day weekend already knowing where each grade sits. The badges decode simply. 350h is the hybrid, 350e is the front-wheel-drive electric, and 500e is the all-wheel-drive electric. Premium, Premium+, and Luxury are the equipment grades.
That produces one counterintuitive result. The electric ES is the least expensive way into the 2026 ES. It undercuts the hybrid by $2,200.
| Configuration | Powertrain | Drive | MSRP* |
|---|---|---|---|
| ES 350e Premium | Electric | FWD | $48,895* |
| ES 350h Premium | Hybrid | FWD | $51,095* |
| ES 500e Premium AWD | Electric | AWD | $51,895* |
| ES 350h Premium AWD | Hybrid | AWD | $52,495* |
| ES 350h Premium+ | Hybrid | FWD | $55,895* |
| ES 350e Luxury | Electric | FWD | $57,295* |
| ES 350h Premium+ AWD | Hybrid | AWD | $57,295* |
| ES 500e Luxury AWD | Electric | AWD | $60,295* |

Choosing Your Powertrain: ES 350h, ES 350e, or ES 500e
Three model families share one platform and offer three different ownership propositions. This is the decision worth spending your Labor Day weekend on. The trim comes after.
| ES 350h | ES 350e | ES 500e | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Powertrain | 2.5L hybrid | Single-motor electric | Dual-motor electric |
| Total output | 244 hp | 221 hp | 338 hp |
| Drive | FWD or available AWD | FWD | AWD (DIRECT4) |
| Refueling | Gas station, no plug required | Plug-in charging | Plug-in charging |
| Trims | Premium, Premium+ | Premium, Luxury | Premium, Luxury |
Which One Fits Which Driver
- ES 350h. Refuel anywhere, with no charging to plan around. The sixth-generation hybrid system delivers 244 horsepower, up from 215 in the outgoing ES 300h.
- ES 350e. The entry point to the lineup. It carries the lowest MSRP in the range and the longer EPA-estimated range of the two electric models.
- ES 500e. The performance choice. A second motor at the rear axle brings 338 combined horsepower and DIRECT4 all-wheel drive.
An ES Hybrid First: All-Wheel Drive
2026 marks the first time the ES hybrid has been available with all-wheel drive. The system uses an electric rear axle rather than a driveshaft. A 54-hp motor powers the rear wheels on demand.
Efficiency and Range: The Numbers Behind the Choice
The powertrain is the decision. These are the figures that settle it.
ES 350h — EPA-Estimated Fuel Economy
| Configuration | EPA-Est. City | EPA-Est. Highway | EPA-Est. Combined |
|---|---|---|---|
| ES 350h FWD | 48 MPG | 44 MPG | 46 MPG |
| ES 350h AWD | 47 MPG | 42 MPG | 44 MPG |
ES 350e and ES 500e — EPA-Estimated Range
| Model | EPA-Est. Range — 19-inch wheels | EPA-Est. Range — 21-inch wheels |
|---|---|---|
| ES 350e | 307 miles | 292 miles |
| ES 500e | 276 miles | 272 miles |
Fuel Economy: EPA-estimated fuel economy figures are for comparison purposes only. Your actual mileage will vary depending on driving conditions, how you drive and maintain your vehicle, battery age/condition, and other factors.
Charging the Electric ES
Both electric models share a 74.7-kWh lithium-ion battery pack. Under ideal conditions:
- DC fast charging: 10% to 80% in about 28 minutes at speeds up to 150 kW
- Level 2 charging: about 7 hours via the 11-kW onboard charger
- Charge port: native NACS (J3400), with a CCS adapter included
- Included cable: dual-voltage, works with both 120V and 240V outlets

With the powertrain settled, the grade is what remains. A large amount of equipment is standard no matter which one you pick.

Why This Labor Day Is the Right Time
That covers the car. Here is the weekend. Three things line up in a shopper’s favor.
- Three powertrains, one decision. Hybrid, single-motor electric, and dual-motor all-wheel-drive electric all wear the same badge now. A Labor Day weekend visit is the fastest way to feel the difference instead of reading about it.
- The entry point is under $49,000. The ES 350e Premium opens the lineup at an MSRP of $48,895*. The electric model, not the hybrid, carries the lowest figure.
- Our Labor Day Sales Event is live. Limited-time offers are running across the lineup right now. Check our new vehicle specials before the holiday weekend closes out.
