Jill Ciminillo recently had the opportunity to do a quick first look test of the all-new 2026 Lexus ES — in both the hybrid and EV variants. She talks about some of the differences, shows off the cool features and ultimately shares which vehicle she’d prefer.
Jill is a syndicated automotive writer, currently serving as an editor at large for Consumer Guide Automotive and co-host for the Consumer Guide Automotive Car Stuff Podcast. You can find her work on U.S. News and World Report, CarGurus.com, The Drive and GreenCars.com — among other websites. She is also a prolific TikToker, posting new content every day to give you “your daily dose of drive.”
