Lexus ES-Series 2026 Price in UAE

Lexus's ES is the quiet default in the UAE luxury saloon market — front-wheel drive, five seats and a cabin tuned for isolation rather than involvement. This is the seventh-generation car launched in 2018 and refreshed in 2021, when the touchscreen was moved forward into easy reach and the infotainment was rewritten. It is sold here with a naturally aspirated V6 or a 2.5-litre hybrid.

How much does the Lexus ES cost in the UAE?

Seven trims, and the ladder is not a straight line. It opens at AED 193,315 for the Elegant and finishes at AED 270,000 for the Platinum 2.5L, but the V6 cars slot in below their hybrid equivalents at matching equipment levels. Moving up the range buys kit before it buys performance, so read the trim list by feature rather than by engine size.

Which Lexus ES trim is the one to buy?

Premier, in either engine. It lifts the ES to the equipment level most buyers assume it already has, and everything above is refinement rather than substance — F Sport swaps in adaptive dampers, a body kit and bigger wheels without touching the drivetrain, while Platinum adds rear-seat comfort and audio upgrades. Choose the hybrid if your driving is mostly urban, the V6 if you cover distance.

Lexus ES or Lexus IS?

Take the ES if the car has to carry people and cover ground in silence — it is longer, softer and far more comfortable in stop-start traffic, which is most of what a Dubai commute involves. The IS is the driver's alternative: rear-wheel drive, tauter and noticeably tighter in the back seat. For ES refinement in a raised body, the NX is the cross-shop most ES buyers actually make.

What does a Lexus ES cost to run in the UAE?

Less than its size suggests. The hybrid is the one for heavy traffic, and the V6 is a long-serving, lightly stressed engine that asks for little beyond scheduled servicing. Al-Futtaim Lexus handles sales and aftersales in Dubai and Abu Dhabi, and warranty and service plans are common across the range — the real difference between trims is tyre and wheel size, worth a thought before you order F Sport.

If a nearly new car would do the same job, compare the used ES listings against the new price, and read the inspection report on any individual car before you commit.
