Default ‘25 ES 350 8th Gen ?

So watching some YouTube vids last night it sounds like ES will have hybrid options but it also said they’d still be V6 option. I know I read the ‘25 Camry is dropping V6 for all hybrids So I’m bit surprised if ES still offer V6 for ‘25. Is this right?

Anything is on the table at this point.

There's nothing official from Lexus on the 2025 model offering. Whatever you see is pure speculation.

If you look around this forum you'll find several threads speculating on the future of the ES. The latest one was 2025 Update.

Any 8ES would be a 2026 MY release. Camry releases in 2025 MY. ES would release a year after. If there was a 2025 8ES release, there'd be reviews and test drives of it already like Camry. That ship has sailed long long ago as we haven't even seen a spy shot. In fact, don't be surprised at a 2027 MY release.

Also no way they're keeping the V6. You can count that out.

Any proof of this or just being speculative? If they do this, I hope that they throw in awd too (and fold down rear seats )!

He's just messing around. Facetiously adding fuel to the wild speculative fire that's been burning for a long time here.

We're all having fun here. I would say don't expect 8 GEN until 2026 MY and in the meantime, they'll keep offering the V6, hybrid and 250 AWD with the four banger. Just an opinion - no hard evidence so please don't ask.

I read on the deep web that TMC bought the rights to the old Cadillac 8-6-4 engine to meet mileage standards and replace ES hybrids. Serious... No hyperbole.
