Summary
The Lexus ES 500e DIRECT 4 (MY26) is a 5-seat saloon with all-wheel drive, not sold in the UK, but on sale from €69,995 in the Netherlands. It accelerates from 0 to 62 mph in 5.5 seconds, quicker than 63% of the electric cars on sale in the UK. Its estimated real-world range is 242 miles (390 km) in a mix of town, country and motorway driving. That is longer than 42% of the 471 electric cars on sale in the UK, and 47th of 48 saloons.
It uses around 3.4 mi/kWh (182 Wh/km), about the same as the typical EV on sale (3.5 mi/kWh). The usable battery holds 71 kWh and on a rapid charger it averages 110 kW between 10% and 80%. With one 15-minute charging stop, it can cover an estimated 266 miles (428 km) at motorway speeds.
It has a heat pump, which helps preserve range in cold weather, and it does not support vehicle-to-load (V2L). The battery uses NCM chemistry, which stores more energy for its weight than LFP.
