Lexus ES 500e
LexusSedanCNG
The Lexus ES 500e is the first fully electric version of the ES and brings a 74.68kWh battery, dual-motor AWD and a claimed 580km range. With 343hp-class output and a 5.5-second 0–100km/h time, it is considerably quicker than the traditional ES formula suggests. Its focus, however, remains Lexus-style serenity, refinement and passenger comfort rather than outright driving aggression.
