Danvers drivers pick the Lexus ES 350e for range, the ES 500e for power

The 2027 ES 350e starts at $49,005 for the Premium trim, the lowest-priced ES on the list. The ES 500e Premium AWD starts at $52,005, which is $3,000 more. Pick the 350e when you want the lower starting price and the longer rated range. Pick the 500e when you want the extra power and all-wheel drive.

The EPA combined rating for the ES 350e with 19-inch wheels is 127 MPGe, with 307 miles of electric range. The ES 500e AWD with 19-inch wheels is rated 114 MPGe, with 276 miles of range (fueleconomy.gov, 2026). For a Danvers commute that is rarely pushed to the limit, the 350e’s extra miles per charge are the number to weigh first.

What does the 2027 Lexus ES 350e or ES 500e cost to start?

The 2027 ES 350e Premium starts at $49,005 and the ES 500e Premium AWD at $52,005, including delivery, processing and handling (Lexus, 2027). The gap is $3,000 at the Premium level. The same gap holds at the Luxury level: the ES 350e Luxury starts at $57,405, and the ES 500e Luxury AWD starts at $60,405.

Those are starting prices. Your out-the-door figure depends on options, fees and the state’s charges, so ask for it in writing before you decide. In an August 2026 5-star Google review, Kevin M. wrote: “Denise was amazing great service and price I strongly recommend her is your are looking for a Lexus. No pressure no games smooth transaction I would go back in a minute”

How far does each 2027 Lexus ES electric go on a charge?

The ES 350e is rated for 307 miles of electric range on 19-inch wheels and 292 miles on 21-inch wheels. The ES 500e AWD is rated for 276 miles on 19-inch wheels and 272 miles on 21-inch wheels (fueleconomy.gov, 2026). Both figures are EPA certified ratings for the 2026 model year.

The range gap between the two trims is 31 miles at the 19-inch size. A driver who charges at home each night rarely needs more than that. A driver who makes long highway runs toward the North Shore or into Boston should compare the 350e’s range against the 500e’s power before choosing.

How much power does the ES 500e add over the ES 350e?

The ES 500e is the all-wheel-drive electric in the lineup, with the 350e as the front-wheel-drive electric. Drivers who want all-wheel drive for wet or snowy roads should choose the 500e.

Which 2027 Lexus ES electric trim gives you more for the money?

The ES 350e leads on starting price and rated range. The ES 500e leads on all-wheel drive. The table sets the maker’s published figures side by side.

Prices are Lexus’s 2027 figures, including delivery, processing and handling, and the efficiency and range figures are EPA’s certified ratings for the 2026 model year.

When is the Lexus ES 350e or ES 500e the wrong pick?

The Luxury trims add standard equipment that the Premium trims do not list. Both Premium trims list the same 19-inch 10-spoke aluminum wheels with aerodynamic covers as standard. The Luxury trim is the choice for a buyer who wants more equipment and will pay the higher starting price of $57,405 for the 350e or $60,405 for the 500e.

What Massachusetts incentives and fees apply to a new Lexus ES electric?

No federal credit applies to a new electric ES bought after September 30, 2025. The Internal Revenue Service states that a vehicle placed in service after that date must have been acquired on or before September 30, 2025, to qualify for the Federal New Clean Vehicle Credit (Internal Revenue Service, 2023).

Massachusetts offers its own incentive through the MOR-EV program. The Massachusetts Department of Energy Resources pays $3,500 for a new zero emission vehicle, and a buyer who qualifies for MOR-EV Plus can add $1,500 (U.S. Department of Energy, Alternative Fuels Data Center, Massachusetts Laws and Incentives, 2026). The state sales tax on a motor vehicle is 6.25% of the sales price, paid to the registering dealer or lessor (Massachusetts Department of Revenue, 2022). A standard passenger registration costs $60 and renews every two years (Massachusetts Registry of Motor Vehicles, Schedule of Fees, 2025).
