Lexus ES Sales in the United States
Lexus ES sales in the United States peaked at 82,867 units in 2007, near the height of the midsize luxury sedan market. As buyers shifted toward SUVs over the following years, ES volume trended lower, though a redesign helped it hold above 72,000 units in 2013 and 2014. Deliveries then settled into the 39,000 to 51,000 range through the late 2010s and early 2020s, reaching 43,156 in 2024 before easing to 39,926 in 2025. Sales fell sharply early in 2026, with 3,896 units through June against 19,181 over the same period a year earlier, as the seventh-generation ES wound down ahead of the all-new eighth-generation model that Lexus revealed for 2026.
