Lexus ES 500e: A New Era of Electric Luxury Has Arrived

For more than three decades, the Lexus ES has been synonymous with comfortable, quiet and refined luxury motoring. Since arriving in Australia in 1992, it has built a reputation among drivers who appreciate understated elegance, exceptional comfort and dependable everyday ownership.

Now, Lexus is turning a new page.

The all-new eighth-generation Lexus ES marks the first time this long-running luxury sedan has been offered with a fully electric powertrain. And leading the electric lineup is the impressive Lexus ES 500e Sports Luxury AWD – a sophisticated electric sedan that brings together traditional Lexus craftsmanship and the advantages of modern EV technology.

A Fresh Design for a New Generation

The new ES is a dramatic departure from its predecessors.

Developed under Lexus' design philosophy of Clean Tech x Elegance, the latest model adopts a sleek, lower-slung silhouette, flowing bodywork and a distinctive modern front-end design. It looks more dynamic and contemporary while retaining the elegant proportions expected of a premium sedan.

Highlights include:

• Semi-aniline leather-accented seating

• Panoramic roof with electric sunshade

• Heated steering wheel and radiant heating for front occupants

• Rear passenger sunshades

• Head-up display and digital rear-view mirror

• 17-speaker Mark Levinson premium audio system

The attention to detail is particularly impressive, with innovative hidden dashboard switches and beautifully integrated ambient lighting creating an environment that feels distinctly Lexus.

Lexus ES 500e: Effortless Electric Performance

The ES 500e is not simply an electric version of a familiar sedan. It is the most powerful ES ever produced.

For those who enjoy a more engaging driving experience, the ES500e also introduces Lexus Interactive Manual Drive, a simulated manual driving experience that adds a playful dimension to an otherwise sophisticated electric sedan.

The Luxury of Charging at Home

One of the biggest advantages of owning an electric vehicle is the convenience of charging at home.

Rather than making regular trips to petrol stations, EV owners can simply plug in their vehicles when they arrive home and begin the next day with a charged battery.

The vehicle supports 22kW Fast AC charging, making it unusually well-equipped for home charging. For households with suitable three-phase electrical infrastructure, a compatible 22kW home charging installation can provide significantly faster charging than a conventional single-phase setup.

For example, iEV Smart Solar 22kW charger could replenish approximately 100km of driving range for Lexus ES500e in around 30 minutes.

At iEV, we believe home charging should be as convenient as driving an EV itself.

Electric Luxury Without Compromising Everyday Convenience

Another important consideration when purchasing a premium EV is ownership support.

For Australian buyers, the Lexus ES 500e benefits from something many newer electric vehicle brands are still developing: an established dealership and service network.

Lexus operates dealerships and service facilities across Australia's major cities and regional centres, providing owners with access to authorised servicing, technical support and genuine parts.
