Upcoming Lexus launches in India in 2026

Lexus is likely to launch the next-generation ES sedan in India in 2026. The ES is currently the only sedan in the company's lineup, having been on sale since 2018. The GX SUV may also make its Indian debut, joining the brand's flagship SUV fleet with the LX. Here's what we know so far.

  1. The next-gen ES is likely to be offered in two hybrid variants.
  2. Both launches are expected by the second half of 2026.

2026 Lexus ES

Launch: H2 2026; Price: Rs 70-80 lakh (est.); Engine: 2.5-litre petrol-hybrid

The next-gen Lexus ES made its global debut earlier this year, and given that the current model has been on sale in India since 2018 – contributing to around 50 percent of the brand’s sales – it’s only a matter of time before it arrives here. It gets two 2.5-litre hybrid powertrains: a 201hp version in the 300h, while the 350h is in a stronger 247hp tune; all versions are paired to an eCVT. Inspired by the LF-ZC concept, the design is sharper and more aerodynamic, and the cabin has been revamped with a 14-inch touchscreen and a 12.3-inch driver display. An EV will also be offered globally, although whether it will launch here remains uncertain. The new ES is expected to be priced between Rs 70 lakh and Rs 80 lakh, with a launch likely in the second half of 2026.

2026 Lexus GX

Launch: H2 2026; Price: Rs 1.5-2 crore (est.); Engine: 3.4-litre twin-turbo V6

For the first time, the Lexus GX is coming to RHD markets like Australia and Japan, which means an India launch is possible. It sits on the same TNGA-F ladder-frame platform as the Land Cruiser Prado, with a squarer, more upright design. Power comes from a 3.4-litre twin-turbo V6 producing 349hp, paired with a 10-speed automatic with full-time 4WD as standard. The cabin is more premium than the rugged exterior suggests, with the option of a 6- or 7-seat layout. The 2026 Lexus GX is likely to launch in the second half of 2026 as well, and could be priced between Rs 1.5 crore and Rs 2 crore.

Tata Motors had a blockbuster showing at Auto Expo 2023, with several models on display in various states of production readiness. However, while Tata’s announcement was quite scant on details, we’ve received a bit more information from company sources, specifically around when these cars will be launched. The products are an even mix of EV and ICE products, but while the latter includes petrol and CNG models, there has been no word on further diesel development, which means the present 1.5-litre engine in the Nexon , and the Fiat-sourced 2.0 in the Harrier and Safari , will soldier on for some time. New Tata Sierra launch in 2025 with new 1.5 petrol engine Undoubtedly the biggest star at the Tata Motors stall, the second iteration of the Sierra EV concept has inched ever closer to production-ready guise. Now with four doors and an interior with conventional controls and switchgear, it’s clear this model is in its final stages of development. However, while the concept is an EV b...

Honda  has officially delisted the Amaze  diesel model from its website. The compact sedan was the final diesel model in its segment that currently comprises of the Hyundai Aura , Tata Tigor and the Maruti Suzuki Dzire . Amaze diesel was available in three trims Was the only diesel automatic model in its segment Honda Amaze diesel: reason for discontinuation As we've reported before, the upcoming implementation of the Real Driving Emissions (RDE) norms in India from April 2023 is the key reason for the Amaze's diesel engine being dropped.  Upgrading diesel engines to meet the new stringent emissions regulations is expensive. This, combined with the low demand for diesel in this segment, meant that there was little business case for the Amaze diesel. Currently, Honda has only two diesel-powered models on sale in India – the  WR-V  and  5th gen City .  However, these cars, too, are slated to be axed as the brand  will cease producing diese...
