2026 Lexus ES
What Is It?
The 2025 Lexus ES 3.5 V6 ES 350 Premier FWD is a five-seat sedan that pairs a 3.5-litre V6-based hybrid powertrain with an automatic transmission, producing 204 hp and 243 Nm of torque. Designed to balance refinement and efficiency, it accelerates from 0–100 km/h in 8.9 seconds and delivers a reported combined fuel consumption of 7.8 L/100 km, positioning it as a premium, eco-friendlier option within Lexus’s ES line-up for buyers in the UAE.
Design & Exterior
The ES 350 Premier presents the familiar executive sedan silhouette expected from Lexus, combining a low-slung stance with proportions tailored for comfortable highway cruising and urban driving in Emirati cities. Front-wheel drive keeps packaging efficient for cabin space, and the hybrid layout helps in reducing engine load during stop-and-go traffic common in Dubai and Abu Dhabi. Its exterior is aimed at buyers who want a refined presence rather than an aggressively sporty look.
Interior & Comfort
Inside, the ES 350 Premier seats five and focuses on a quiet, composed cabin experience that benefits from the hybrid system’s smoother low-speed operation—an advantage during hot, congested commutes across the UAE. Rear-seat space and trunk practicality suit families and frequent travelers to coastal and desert destinations, while the sedan format makes parking and motorway lane changes straightforward in crowded city centres.
Performance & Engine
Under the bonnet the hybridized 3.5 powertrain combines a V6-based setup with electric assistance to deliver 204 hp and 243 Nm, routed through an automatic transmission to the front wheels. The power delivery yields a 0–100 km/h time of 8.9 seconds, which is brisk enough for highway merges and overtaking on the UAE’s long expressways. The rated fuel consumption of 7.8 L/100 km is an important figure for cost-conscious buyers given local fuel prices and frequent longer-distance driving between emirates.

Why Buy It in the UAE?
The ES 350 Premier’s combination of a refined hybrid powertrain, front-wheel-drive stability and a comfortable five-seat sedan layout is well suited to UAE conditions: efficient fuel use for long highway runs between emirates, quieter operation in hot urban traffic, and a premium image appropriate for professionals and families. Its balance of performance and economy makes it appealing for drivers who want Lexus comfort with lower fuel consumption relative to conventional V6 vehicles.
