JAKARTA - Lexus has officially introduced the latest generation ES in the 2025 Auto Shanghai and is present in the Battery Electric Vehicle (BEV) variant for the first time.

Unlike a number of countries offered by the AV and BEV variants, this medium-sized sedan will come with pure electric driving as a single type in the UK.

Autocar reported on Saturday, May 24, this premium automotive brand is evaluating whether to offer the BEV exclusively, given the larger proportion of electric vehicle sales in the UK compared to Europe.

Although this decision has not been officially announced, it is likely that ES will not be present in the hybrid variant for the first time in the land of king Charles.

This luxury sedan has two choices of BEV, namely ES 350e and ES 500e. Each gives 224 ps and 342 ps of power.

The ES 350e variant is equipped with a battery capable of providing a range of 685 km and ES 500e up to 610 km in one full charge.

The manufacturer with the 'L' logo has confirmed that it will launch an all-new ES in a number of markets starting in mid-2026 and will be a direct challenger from BMW i5 on British soil.
