2026 Lexus ES First Look in Nigeria - Pricing, Specs

Yes, now is a good time to smile. When it comes to sedans, the Lexus ES is the most popular among Nigerian youths. Although the Lexus ES consumes more fuel than its rival, the Toyota Camry, many Nigerians still love the speed and luxury that the ES offers. The 2026 model has answered most questions. Inside the 2026 Lexus ES, there is a new 14.0-inch touchscreen infotainment system that replaces the smaller 12.3-inch unit from 2025. The new screen also features Lexus's latest infotainment interface, including integrated climate control knobs with their own individual temperature readout screens in the center.

You should know?

For 2026, the Lexus ES ditches its nonhybrid powertrain for hybrid and electric ones (we review the EV model separately). The ES350h is powered by a four-cylinder hybrid setup with 244 horsepower and front- or all-wheel drive. Entry-level models may show their Toyota roots a bit, but loaded versions of the ES350h are better equipped to rival other mid-size luxury sedans that start at higher price tags, which gives the Lexus a bang-for-your-buck appeal that's unique in this segment. The ES is offered only in ES350h guise, powered by a hybrid powertrain setup consisting of a 2.5-litre four-cylinder and an electric motor that combine for 244 horsepower. A continuously variable automatic transmission is standard, and both front- and all-wheel drive versions are offered. 

Exterior and Interior

With the new look of the 2026 Lexus ES, you will never know it's the same ES you see on Nigerian roads. Now, the 2026 Lexus ES looks more sporty than ever, as it benefits from a makeover this year. The styling has dramatically changed from the older model seen on Nigerian roads, and the new ES is over six inches longer than its predecessor, which Lexus claims makes the cabin more spacious.

The new 2026 ES is offered only in ES350h form, powered by a hybrid powertrain consisting of a 2.5-litre four-cylinder engine and an electric motor that combine for 244 horsepower. A continuously variable automatic transmission is standard, and both front-wheel and all-wheel drive versions are available. 

Pricing

Since the ES sedan now offers either a hybrid or an EV, with front-wheel drive or all-wheel drive available regardless of the powertrain, the price will be higher than that of the older model. Priced at Nigeria at ₦80,147,190, we expect the 2026 Lexus ES to start from ₦90 million to ₦120 million.
