Like others, I was excited to see the 2026 Lexus ES350h, but unfortunately, it did not meet expectations for reasons from my point of view. I expect it will not have much demand:
1- It greatly resembles the Crown with some exterior touches, and it has DNA and similarities to Chinese cars.
2- The interior does not match its high value; it is unattractive and lacks control buttons, with most functions operated by the screen.
3- Its shape does not give an impression of luxury, but rather a strange look; it is neither a sedan nor an SUV.
4- There is only hybrid or fully electric, and a four-cylinder engine.
5- Its price is very high, and there are much better competitors than this poorly designed generation from Lexus, in my opinion.
6- I expect this generation to fail, similar to what happened with the Lexus LS.
7- I repeat, this is my personal opinion.
And that's all. :)
