Confirmed: the swoopy eighth-gen Lexus ES is coming to the UK in 2026

Brits like German saloons, and German saloons like Brits. Probably. But if you fancy upsetting the order of balance, Lexus has confirmed its shiny new eighth-gen ES is heading to the UK next year. And thanks to those new lights, it’ll do so with a highly suspicious side-eye.

Indeed the new ES is headlined by those twin L-signature daytime running lights, which Lexus says will be a staple in its future EVs. There are many Angles dotted about its sharp new suit, and that sloping roofline ain’t no joke either, giving this four-door saloon an almost coupe-like stance.
