2-Line Blurb

140-Character Blurb

The 2026 Lexus ES midsize luxury sedan marks a new generation, with either hybrid or fully electric drivetrains.

Cons

Power, Ride, and Handling

Driving Impressions

The 2026 ES 350h has a hybrid setup making 244 horsepower (up from the 215 horses of the soon-to-be-outgoing ES 300h) and its quickest acceleration time from standstill to 60 mph is estimated at around 7.6 seconds, accomplished with optional all-wheel drive. That’s not particularly speedy, but then ES hybrids are not revered for their enthusiast appeal.
There’s a similar lack of urgency with the all-electric 2026 ES 350e, configured with front-wheel drive (FWD) and one motor generating 221 hp. Its zero-to-60 mph time is expected to be around 8.7 seconds.
Life edges its way into the fast lane with the 2026 ES 500e, whose two electric motors conjure up 338 hp and will propel the car to 60 mph in around 5.7 seconds. This model has all-wheel drive (AWD).
Lexus says the new ES should “deliver a refined driving experience… enhancing quietness and ride comfort.” That’s always been the ES way. And we’ve never thought the previous ES fell short in these respects.
<h3>Fuel Economy</h3>
The previous generation’s ES 300h hybrid achieves an impressive 44 mpg in combined city/highway driving. We expect the new ES 350h to be just as frugal.
<h3>Range and Charging</h3>
The single-motor ES 350e is expected to cover about 300 miles between charges. The dual-motor ES 500e will come in lower. Charging times are still to be disclosed.

Large Exterior

Exterior

Compared with its predecessor, the new-generation ES is about 6.5 inches longer (about 17 feet in total, almost a foot more than the current Camry), with the wheelbase stretched by 3 inches. We’ve always found the ES to be spacious for occupants in both rows, and it looks like this new model will be even more accommodating.
The new ES is built on the same platform as the <a href="https://www.kbb.com/toyota/crown/">Toyota Crown</a>, and we’re seeing some visual similarities between the two cars. The way to tell a hybrid ES from its all-electric counterpart is by the extra upper grille section.

Favorite Features

Mark Levinson audio 
One of our favorite features in any Lexus, the new ES offers a surround-sound system optimized for this car.

This optional bundle is offered with the front-wheel-drive ES 350e in Luxury trim. It includes heated/ventilated/massaging/reclining rear outboard seats, plus a footrest on the passenger side.

Sparse Interior

Interior

Lexus describes the cabin of the new 2026 ES as “simple and clean.” We’re aware that the word “minimalist” has been over-used in connection with electric vehicle interior designs because most car makers went down this path. In some cases, several years ago. But before we say “nothing to see here,” we’ll mention that the steering wheel now has &#8220;LEXUS&#8221; written in upper-case letters instead of the traditional L logo. And into this clutter-free context, the company has dropped 3D-printed simulated bamboo with ambient LED illumination, plus simulated suede and leather in places.
There’s a large glass area, so the new ES should feel even more spacious than its generous dimensions suggest. That also means great outward vision. The 12.3-inch instrument cluster is set low, contributing to the cabin’s open feel and, according to Lexus, enables smooth eye movement. The seats are set a little higher than before, no doubt because there’s now a battery in the floor, but it does have the happy result of easier entries and exits.

KBB Editors' Overview

This is an all-new generation of the Lexus ES midsize luxury sedan. We’d also say radically new. Sporting a fresh design and different drivetrains, this latest ES does what no ES has done before — sparked a lot of interest.
Everyone will have their own opinions on the styling, so let’s get under the striking skin right away and say that <a href="https://www.kbb.com/lexus/">Lexus</a> has built this latest eighth-generation ES on a platform developed to accommodate hybrid or completely electric power. Which is exactly what the new ES offers.
Technology also moves forward with a 14-inch infotainment touchscreen (capable of split-screen displays), navigation set into the digital instrument cluster, and an improved ability to obey spoken commands.

Optional Equipment

Pricing - Dynamic

We expect the 2026 Lexus ES to start at around $48,000.

The Lexus ES has a history of being relatively affordable yet also retaining its value well. Alternatives are much pricier. The <a href="https://www.kbb.com/bmw/5-series/">BMW 5 Series</a> lineup includes the 550e xDrive plug-in hybrid, from about $75,000. There’s no hybrid <a href="https://www.kbb.com/genesis/g80/">Genesis G80</a> (yet), but the <a href="https://www.kbb.com/genesis/electrified-g80/">Electrified G80</a> should also start at around $75,000 — the same kind of ballpark as the <a href="https://www.kbb.com/mercedes-benz/mercedes-eq-eqe/">Mercedes-Benz EQE sedan</a>. The all-electric <a href="https://www.kbb.com/bmw/i5/">BMW i5</a> begins a little lower than these two. We would also suggest looking at the new-for-2026 <a href="https://www.kbb.com/car-news/2026-volvo-es90-new-all-electric-flagship-sedan/">Volvo ES90</a> electric luxury sedan.

Trims

Under the Hood

At its entry level, the 2026 ES 350h comes with a familiar hybrid drivetrain, pairing a 2.5-liter 4-cylinder gasoline engine with an electric motor to make 244 horsepower. Front-wheel drive is standard; all-wheel drive is optional.
Lexus says the new ES 350e and ES 500e both have large-capacity batteries. We’ll say how large once that information comes through.
<h3>4-Year/50,000-Mile Warranty</h3>
The new-car warranty from Lexus lasts four years or 50,000 miles, whichever happens first — the same terms as other luxury marques such as BMW and Mercedes-Benz. Powertrains are covered for six years or 70,000 miles, which is better than those German rivals. Hybrid components and EV batteries come with a typical 8-year/100,000-mile warranty. The first two services — at six months/5,000 miles and 12 months/10,000 miles &#8212; are complimentary.
<h3>Safety</h3>
The 2026 ES is the first vehicle to come with the newest Lexus Safety System+ 4.0. As well as usual features like emergency braking, lane-keeping assistance, and adaptive cruise control, this array may also include a partial self-driving system.

What's new for 2026

The 2026 Lexus ES is completely new, with distinct styling and a choice of electrified drivetrains. Yet the space and comfort that have always been ES attributes are still evident.
<h3>On-Sale Date</h3>
Lexus has said that the new ES will go on sale in 2026. We’re putting our money on springtime. We’ll be updating all the information in this review when more facts are released.

With a 10,000-pound towing capacity, work-friendly features, and a smooth ride, the Ford F-150 Lightning has much of the appeal of the F-150.

<ul>
<li>Can get pricey</li>
<li>Towing greatly reduces range</li>
</ul>

Power, Ride and Handling

The Lightning is surprisingly quick off the line, with a manufacturer-estimated zero-to-60 time as low as 3.8 seconds. That makes it one of the fastest models in the F-150 lineup, and is especially impressive considering this is not a lightweight pickup. That thrust comes courtesy of the 580-horsepower dual-motor extended-range powertrain, which powers all but the XLT trim, which comes standard with a 452-horsepower dual-motor setup. All-wheel drive (AWD) is standard, with an electronic locking differential. Both powertrains deliver 775 lb-ft of torque.
Not only is the F-150 Lightning quick, but acceleration is smooth, predictable, and linear. And there is no shortage of power on reserve for passing on the highway. The one-pedal driving mode makes dealing with stop-and-go city traffic easier to deal with. On the highway, the optional BlueCruise hands- (and foot-) free system is very user-friendly and makes highway driving more pleasant.
No, there is no V8 rumble. That leaves the cabin especially quiet, with only minor road and wind noise sneaking in. The result of gobs of power on hand, a smooth ride, comfortable seats, and a quiet interior is a luxurious, serene drive. The only thing that could make it better is the Active Motion massaging seats in the Platinum trim.
<h3>Range and Charging</h3>
The Ford F-150 Lightning gets an <a href="https://fueleconomy.gov/feg/make.shtml" target="_blank" rel="noopener">EPA</a>-reported range of up to 320 miles with the extended-range battery and up to 240 miles with the standard battery. The Platinum trim, which comes standard with an extended battery, gets 300 miles of range. For comparison, the range of the Rivian R1T is between 258 and 420 miles, depending on the configuration, and the Chevrolet Silverado EV with extended-range battery is rated for up to 408 miles (492 in the Work Truck and LT).

Tough Functional Exterior

That F-150 family resemblance is strong here, too. If it weren’t for the telltale LED strip that flanks the headlights and runs along the edge of the frunk, you’d think it was a gas F-150. While there aren’t multiple bed and cab choices for the F-150 Lightning — every Lightning has a crew cab and a 5.5-foot bed — there are three wheel designs (18-, 20-, and 22-inch), an available twin-panel moonroof, and a choice of optional running boards. You can also get a power tailgate and a tailgate step. Exterior badging and chrome work vary depending on trim level.
Open the hood of the F-150 Lightning, and you’ll find a sizable “frunk” instead of an engine, with 14.1 cubic feet of room. For reference, that’s roughly the trunk size in the <a href="https://www.kbb.com/honda/civic/">Honda Civic</a>. Some clever features inside include power outlets, a cargo net, and a floor panel that can flip up vertically and act as a divider.

Favorite Features and Tech

Pro Trailer Hitch Assist 
This feature controls the steering, throttle, and brakes to make light work of hitching up a trailer. It’s part of the Tow Technology package, optional in the lower trims, and standard in the upper versions.
Mega Power Frunk 
Yes, a frunk is to be expected on an electric truck. But the Mega Power Frunk, which is standard, has four 120-volt outlets. It also has a USB-C outlet and a USB-A outlet to keep your devices topped off. Oh, and did we mention it can carry pounds of payload?
Pro Power Onboard 
Whether you’re planning your next tailgate party or need to power tools at the job site, Pro Power Onboard adds even more plug-in power options &#8212; beyond those in the frunk &#8212; that can be found in the truck bed. Up to 11 outlets have up to 9.6 kW of available power.
SYNC 4A 
The SYNC 4A infotainment system in the F-150 Lightning comes standard with a 12-inch screen, and it’s available with a bigger 15.5-inch screen. Standard infotainment features include Android Auto, Apple CarPlay, and a Wi-Fi hotspot.
Ford Co-Pilot360 
Standard safety features like automatic emergency braking, lane-keep assist, and blind-spot monitoring add safety and confidence to every drive.
BlueCruise 
The available <a href="https://www.kbb.com/car-news/ford-expands-bluecruise-hands-free-options/">BlueCruise</a> semi-autonomous driving system allows for hands-free driving on highways mapped by <a href="https://www.kbb.com/ford/">Ford</a>. It covers over 130,000 miles of highway in North America.

Upscale, Practical Spacious Interior

What does the Lightning look like inside? There is no question this truck is a part of the F-150 family, which is evident the second you get behind the wheel. The cabin is spacious, with blocky accents on the dash and contrasting gray and black throughout. Seats are either cloth in the XLT, ActiveX leather alternative in the Flash Lariat, or premium Nirvana leather in the Platinum.
It has enough unique high-tech and convenience details to make the Lightning distinctive. For example, a 12-inch touchscreen comes standard, and a 15.5-inch screen is optional. The digital gauge cluster is reconfigurable to show range, steering angle, and more. Higher trim levels come standard with Ford’s clever interior work surface; fold down the transmission shifter and unfold the top of the center storage lid to create a handy work space.
Every F-150 Lightning has a crew cab body with 43.6 inches of rear legroom. Good news: That’s the same amount of space as the crew cab of the gas-powered F-150. It’s also quite a bit more space than the smaller Rivian R1T, which only has 36.6 inches of backseat legroom.

In many ways, the expectations of an electric truck’s performance are tougher than any other electric vehicle (EV) out there. It has to tow, go off-road, and still serve as a family ride on the weekends – everything people expect a gas-powered full-size truck to do. The Ford F-150 Lightning continues to be our <a href="https://www.kbb.com/awards/best-buy-awards-2025-ford-f-150-lightning-electric-truck/">top pick</a> in the electric truck segment because it is a well-rounded truck that exceeds expectations. It has much of the baked-in goodness of the F-150. It even shares the F-150’s styling. The F-150 Lightning has an impressive range, the lowest starting price in its class, and a terrific roster of features focused on work, safety, and convenience.
The Ford F-150 Lightning competes in a small class of electric pickup trucks that includes the Chevrolet Silverado EV and GMC Sierra EV, as well as the Rivian R1T and the Tesla Cybertruck. We also expect to see the all-electric Ram REV arrive at dealerships soon.
We’ve logged hundreds of hours driving and evaluating this generation of <a href="https://www.kbb.com/electric-car/best-electric-trucks/">electric pickups</a>, including the Ford F-150 Lightning.

While the 2025 Ford F-150 Lightning has the lowest starting price in its segment, remember that it is for the base Pro trim, which you can only build and price at Ford’s Ford Pro website. Realistically, the base model for consumers is the XLT trim. The good news is that it’s still the lowest price in the segment. In addition, the popular Lariat is a very well-equipped trim level that’s easy to recommend.
The F-150 Lightning’s closest rivals, the 2025 <a href="https://www.kbb.com/chevrolet/silverado-ev/">Chevrolet Silverado EV</a> and <a href="https://www.kbb.com/rivian/r1t/">Rivian R1T</a>, start above $70,000. The <a href="https://www.kbb.com/tesla/cybertruck/">Tesla Cybertruck</a> starts at over $80,000. And the <a href="https://www.kbb.com/gmc/sierra-ev/">GMC Sierra EV</a>, which is only available as the Denali for 2025, starts at over $90,000.

<li>Towing capacity up to 10,000 pounds</li>
<li>Up to 320 miles of range</li>
<li>Helpful, innovative tech</li>
</ul>

There are no major changes for 2025

A 98-kWh battery comes standard in the XLT trim, with 452 hp and 240 miles of range. An extended-range 131-kWh battery is standard in the Flash, Lariat, and Platinum models, with 580 hp and 320 miles of range. Both are backed by a single-speed transmission, and all-wheel drive is standard. The standard battery gets an EPA efficiency rating of 68 combined MPGe, and the extended-range battery gets up to 70 MPGe (66 MPGe in the Platinum trim).
According to EPA estimates, the monthly fuel costs of the F-150 Lightning are lower than the F-150 with the standard V6 engine and 4-wheel drive (4WD) by a factor of about $150/month. The Rivian R1T is slightly more efficient, but its estimated fuel costs are similar to the Lightning&#8217;s.
<h3>Towing and Payload</h3>
The F-150 Lightning boasts an impressive maximum tow rating of up to 10,000 pounds and a max payload capacity of 2,000 pounds, but a word of caution is in order. Third-party tests have shown that towing makes a drastic impact on range. According to real-world testing, the F-150 Lightning Platinum with a full charge only gets about 100 miles of range when pulling a camper weighing around 5,000 pounds.
<h3>3-Year/36,000-Mile Warranty</h3>
Like its gas-powered counterpart, the Ford F-150 Lightning is backed by a 3-year/36,000-mile basic warranty and a 5-year/60,000-mile powertrain warranty. Additionally, the battery is covered by an 8-year/100,000-mile warranty. This coverage is about typical for a mainstream-brand EV.
<h3>Safety</h3>
The Ford F-150 Lightning comes standard with the Ford Co-Pilot360 2.0 safety tech suite, which bundles features like automatic emergency braking, lane-keep assist, automatic high beams, rear parking sensors, and more. Hands-free highway driving is available with the optional BlueCruise feature. The Lightning earned a 5-Star rating from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (<a href="https://www.nhtsa.gov/ratings" target="_blank" rel="noopener">NHTSA</a>).

What's New for 2025

What's new for

While the 2025 Ford F-150 Lightning is mostly a carryover, there are some notable minor changes. The NACS adapter and cord now come standard, rather than as an added cost. Instead of a standard spare tire, a tire inflator and sealant kit are standard, and the spare is an available option. In the color palette, Space White replaces Avalanche. The biggest loss is that the smart hitch and onboard scales were discontinued for the entire F-150 lineup for 2025.

The redesigned Mini Hardtop 4 Door adds practicality to the iconic Mini Cooper while keeping it properly small and stylish.

<ul>
<li>No manual option</li>
<li>Premium gas recommended</li>
</ul>

The 2025 Mini Hardtop 4 Door is powered by a turbocharged 161-horsepower 4-cylinder engine matched with a 7-speed automatic transmission and front-wheel drive. The models with “S” in the name get a performance upgrade to 201 hp, plus way more torque. The base engine scoots this little car around just fine, but we think the S model is worth the slight price premium to unlock the Mini’s fun potential.
Regardless of the engine, the Mini Hardtop 4 Door handled beautifully in <a href="https://www.kbb.com/car-news/driving-the-2025-mini-cooper-hardtop/">our testing</a>, thanks to its small footprint and wheels stretched out to the corners. These qualities also make it a pleasure to drive on city streets, weaving through traffic and parking just about wherever you want with ease.
Every Mini is a great city car, but the longer wheelbase of the 4 Door model makes this a slightly comfier highway cruiser than the shorter 2 Door model. Speaking of comfort, we know those 18-inch wheel options are fabulous, but they make the ride quality a little harsher than the 17-inch wheels.
<h3>Fuel Economy</h3>
The Mini Cooper 4 Door has the same fuel economy ratings as the 2 Door. It returns 28 city/39 highway/32 combined mpg, regardless of the trim. That’s a little less efficient than the Nissan Versa, which doesn’t come with turbocharged performance.
Subcompact hatchbacks are supposed to have low fuel costs. Although the Mini is reasonably fuel-efficient, its premium gas recommendation makes it surprisingly expensive to fuel up for such a small car. Since the base model and the sportier S trim have identical fuel economy ratings, you might as well get the excitement of the Cooper S if it fits your budget.

Iconic Exterior

Mini did an excellent job giving the Mini Cooper a 4-door body while keeping it appropriately small. It’s just big enough to be measurably roomier and more practical than its traditional 2-door counterpart, but it retains subcompact dimensions. Then, of course, there’s the disarming cuteness of the Mini Cooper, with one of the finest executions we’ve seen of a retro/modern design. The Mini is also highly customizable; it’s the only car we know of that’s available with a gradient purple contrast roof.
The adorable and properly small Mini Cooper is a breath of fresh air in an automotive landscape flooded with SUVs.

Lively S model 
The Mini Cooper S delivers the exciting driving character we’ve come to associate with the Mini brand. With lithe handling, 201 hp, and a claimed zero-to-60 mph time of 6.7 seconds, the Cooper S is as fun to drive as it is to look at.
Standout style 
Just look at it. The Mini Cooper has a distinctly British aesthetic instantly recognizable from any angle. That’s a face you’ll never get tired of seeing in your garage.
Extra space 
With an extra 1.5 inches of rear legroom and 47% more cargo room behind the back seats than the Mini 2 Door, this 4 Door model is decidedly more practical without compromising its charm.
Panoramic roof 
The Mini’s characteristically flat roof lets in a lot of natural light with its panoramic sunroof, a standard feature that adds to the premium feel of this hatchback.
9.4-inch OLED display 
A round 9.4-inch OLED display delivers the information you need and handles duties like climate control. You can customize it to suit your mood with different themes, from showy to subtle.
Mini Experience Modes 
Ambient interior lighting is becoming ordinary, but the Mini is anything but. Seven Mini Experience Modes are accompanied by dazzling light and projections, creating a vibe in the Mini’s interior that’s as fun and unique as its exterior.

Expressive Interior

Although the new Mini Cooper models are not so different sizewise from their predecessors, the company’s decision to keep things clean and simple helps create a sense of space. Materials and build quality remain in that area between mainstream and luxury.
The automatic transmission’s shift functions have also been moved into the center console, leaving space for a wireless phone charging pad. The dashboard’s dominant feature, however, is a circular OLED infotainment touchscreen with a 9.4-inch diameter.

The rear seats are usable, with 32.3 inches of legroom. Predictably, that’s more rear legroom than the 2-door Mini but less than the Mini Countryman SUV. Thanks to the boxy shape of the Mini, it has decent cargo space for such a small car. The 4-door Mini has 13.1 cubic feet of space behind the back seats, which is 47% more than the 2-door. Fold down the back seats, and you get a fairly huge 40-cubic-foot cargo hold.

In the ever-charming Mini lineup, the Mini Hardtop 4 Door is slotted between the smaller and more traditional <a href="https://www.kbb.com/mini/hardtop-2-door/">Hardtop 2 Door</a> and the bigger <a href="https://www.kbb.com/mini/countryman/">Mini Countryman</a> SUV. This practical 4 Door model is for anyone who loves the Mini Cooper’s smallness and unique aesthetic but would rather have four doors than two. Its extra length and doors over the 2 Door model make the Mini just as practical as any other subcompact hatchback, but with cuteness and driving character that’s hard to match. A 2025 redesign thoroughly modernizes the Mini with an <a href="https://www.kbb.com/car-news/2025-mini-gets-retro-cute-cabin/">updated interior</a> full of the latest technology while retaining the brand’s classic look on the outside.
We’ve spent hundreds of hours driving and evaluating this generation of <a href="https://www.kbb.com/cars/best-subcompact-cars/">subcompact cars</a>, including the 2025 Mini Hardtop 4 Door.

The Hardtop 2 Door outsells the Hardtop 4 Door version by a lot, with the Cooper S being the most popular of the <a href="https://www.kbb.com/compare-cars/results?vehicleIds=476091|476059|476083|476061">four trim levels</a>.
It’s a little hard to compare the pricing of the <a href="https://www.kbb.com/mini/">Mini</a> to anything else since subcompact cars are slowly going extinct in the U.S. The <a href="https://www.kbb.com/nissan/versa/">Nissan Versa</a> is still around for the 2025 model year, starting at under $20,000, but the Mini is a decidedly sportier, more premium car. The smallest, most affordable cars from more mainstream Euro luxury brands start at right around $40,000, like the <a href="https://www.kbb.com/bmw/2-series/">BMW 2 Series</a> and <a href="https://www.kbb.com/audi/a3/">Audi A3</a>.
Before buying a Mini, check the Kelley Blue Book Fair Purchase Price to know what you should really pay. Mini Hardtop 4 Door resale value is below average for the segment. Recouping more money when selling a vehicle can mean a bigger down payment and lower monthly payments on the next one.

Engine and Transmission

The Mini Hardtop 4 Door is powered by a turbocharged 2.0-liter 4-cylinder engine available in two different tunings. The base engine produces 161 hp and 184 lb-ft of torque, good for a 7.9-second zero-to-60 mph time. Meanwhile, the Cooper S models pump out 201 hp and 221 lb-ft of torque for a 6.7-second zero-to-60 mph time. Since they have the same fuel economy ratings, the Cooper S is easy to recommend if your budget allows it.
Every Mini Cooper has a 7-speed automatic transmission and front-wheel drive. Sorry, no manual. If you like the idea of a Mini with all-wheel drive, consider the Countryman SUV.
<h3>4-Year/50,000-Mile Warranty</h3>
The Mini Hardtop 4 Door is backed by a 4-year/50,000-mile bumper-to-bumper warranty, which is typical for a luxury car. It also comes with complimentary scheduled maintenance for three years or 36,000 miles, whichever comes first.
<h3>Safety</h3>
The Mini Cooper&#8217;s standard safety features include automatic emergency braking with pedestrian detection and lane departure warning with lane-keeping assist. Adaptive cruise control is optional. The redesigned Mini has not yet been tested by the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (<a href="https://www.iihs.org/ratings" target="_blank" rel="noopener">IIHS</a>) or the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (<a href="https://www.nhtsa.gov/ratings" target="_blank" rel="noopener">NHTSA</a>).

What's new for 2025

The Mini is fully redesigned for 2025. For starters, the “Mini Cooper” name is back after years of confusing model names like “Hatch” and “Hardtop.” The exterior is refreshed with a new take on the Union Jack-inspired taillight design, but don’t worry. The headlights are still round, and the roof still has the approximate height and flatness of a coffee table.
The interior gets a more significant redesign. A large, round infotainment display is the centerpiece of the new interior, which can change significantly based on the drive mode and your personal preferences. Mini struck a just-right balance of retro and modern, inside and out, with the redesigned Mini Cooper.
We can usually find it in our hearts to forgive automakers for discontinuing a manual transmission option, but the old-school stick shift was especially fitting in the go-kart-like Mini. Unfortunately, the redesigned 2025 Mini Cooper is automatic only.
