Japan's Lexus BLOWS UP The Entire EV Car Market With Latest Announcement !!

On August 10th, 2026, Lexus priced the new ES — and the electric one came in cheaper than the hybrid. $49,005 for the ES 350e. $51,200 for the ES 350h. Same car, three powertrains, and not one of them built in America anymore. While Cadillac tears up its all-electric plan and Porsche puts part of its EV roadmap on hold, Lexus built one sedan designed to win whichever way the market turns. Here is what was actually announced, and what the numbers say. SOURCES Every figure comes from a dated source — Lexus USA Newsroom and Toyota Global Newsroom releases, Electrek, Autoblog, Engadget, Carscoops, WardsAuto and evo.
