Lexus ES Lease Deals

The Lexus ES is a large electric saloon, and it's the only saloon Lexus sells in the UK. It's built around comfort, quiet and material quality rather than lap times, which makes it an unusual choice in a class full of fast German executive cars.

It suits high-mileage motorway drivers, company car users moving to electric, and anyone who wants a calm cabin and a big boot without buying another SUV. At 5.15 metres long with 517 litres of boot space and five seats, it's a proper executive car, not a jumped-up hatchback.

The choice is simple: one saloon body, one electric powertrain with 221bhp, and three trims - Premium, Premium Plus and Takumi.

About the Lexus ES

The current ES is the eighth generation of a nameplate that has been part of Lexus since the brand began, and in this form it's an electric-only, front-wheel-drive luxury saloon that has taken over as the brand's flagship four-door in the UK.

Reviewers consistently praise the same things: interior build quality, the hushed ride on motorways and A-roads, and the amount of standard equipment for the money. The criticisms are consistent too - it isn't quick, at 8.0 seconds to 62mph, and road testers note that keen drivers will find it soft rather than sharp.

Practically, it's strong on space. The 517-litre boot with the seats up is large for an electric saloon, though the letterbox-style opening of a traditional four-door limits what you can physically post through it.

Why lease a Lexus ES?

Because every ES arrives well equipped, so you don't spend the first hour of the order process picking options. Built-in navigation, adaptive cruise control, heated and ventilated front seats, electric seat memory and a heated steering wheel are standard across the range.

The driver-assistance kit is standard too: blind-spot monitoring, rear cross-traffic alert, lane-keep assist, active lane-change assist, traffic sign recognition and autonomous emergency braking. Front and rear parking sensors, automatic high beam, rain-sensing wipers and privacy glass come on every version, and four-wheel steering helps a 5.15-metre car feel smaller at parking speeds.

What we'd flag before you order: the ES carries a tyre repair kit rather than a spare, and insurance sits in group 43-44, so it's worth a quote before you commit.

Which ES powertrain is right for me?

There's only one, so the decision is really whether electric suits your driving. Every ES uses the same 77 kWh battery and 221bhp front-wheel-drive motor, with an automatic transmission and no petrol or hybrid alternative in the UK.

Electric

The 77 kWh battery (72 kWh usable) gives a WLTP range of 326-361 miles depending on version, with 3.8-4.3 miles per kWh. It charges at up to 150 kW, taking 28 minutes from 10-80% on the best version, and 4 hours from 10-100% at 22 kW.

It's smooth and quiet rather than fast - 8.0 seconds to 62mph, 99mph flat out and 269Nm of torque. If you can charge at home or at work regularly, it makes an excellent long-distance cruiser. If you can't, read our electric car guide first.

Which ES trim should I choose?

All three trims share the same powertrain, so this is purely about equipment, wheels and cabin materials.

Premium

Premium rides on 19-inch alloys with synthetic leather upholstery, and includes single LED headlights, built-in navigation, an electrically operated sunroof blind, a heated three-spoke steering wheel, powered tailgate, keyless entry and start, dual-zone climate control and a digital instrument cluster.

The Premium is currently available from £580.72 a month.

Premium Plus

Premium Plus swaps in semi-aniline leather and bi-LED headlights, and adds a panoramic view monitor, head-up display, adaptive suspension, two wireless charging pads and advanced park assist with remote control - genuinely useful on a car this long.

The Premium Plus is currently available from £684.34 a month. Against the Premium, that is currently £103.62/mo more expensive.

Takumi

Takumi is the comfort-led flagship: 21-inch machined-finish alloy wheels, three-zone climate control, heated seats for driver, passenger and rear passengers, and ventilated cushions and backrests for those in the back. It's the one to pick if people regularly sit behind you.

The Takumi is currently available from £730.42 a month. Against the Premium Plus, that is currently £46.08/mo more expensive.

If you want the bigger wheels without the rest, a 21" Wheels Pack is offered as a factory option, adding the 21-inch machined-finish alloys. Seven paint colours are listed across the range: Glacier blue, Graphite black, Nova white, Sonic copper, Sonic grey, Sonic platinum and Sonic titanium.
