Got mine in mid-April, the 2023 ES300h. It's the Ultra Luxury trim, which is what we wanted and is the highest trim for the ES hybrid. It is the Cloudburst Gray exterior with Acorn color semi-aniline leather interior. Total Installed Packages & Accessories: 1) Premium Triple-beam LED headlamps; 2) Smartacess Card Key; 3) Premium Paint; 4) Lexus Interface with 12.3-in Multimedia Touchscreen Display; 5) Ultra Luxury Package; 6) All weather floor liners and trunk mat; 7) Door edge film by 3M; 8) The Preferred Accessory Package; and 9) The Dealer added a 5-year windshield protection/replacement coverage package and tinted the driver and passenger windows. More: The three-projector headlamp design creates an eye-catching L shape. Adding to this brilliant design, the headlamps feature LED side turn signals, as well as an Adaptive Front Lighting System6 that uses steering and speed sensors to direct the angle of low-beam illumination as the vehicle enters a curve. The Adaptive Front Lighting System monitors steering and speed with a suite of sensors and will automatically adjust the angle of your low-beam headlights to improve visibility on curved roads. Ultra Luxury extras: 1) 18-inch split-five-spoke alloy noise-reduction wheels 2) Power rear sunshade with manual rear-door sunshades 3) Power open/close trunk with kick sensor 4) 12.3-inch multimedia touchscreen display 10.2-inch Head-Up Display 5) Intuitive Parking Assist with Auto Braking and Rear Pedestrian Detection, and Panoramic View Monitor. Averaging 43+ MPG City/Hwy driving and I had the oil and filter changed at 1,000 miles for my own peace of mind. Just For Reference: I was not going to wait one-year or 10,000 miles to have the factory installed oil & filter changed. And, I shall be changing the Oil (Liqui Moly 0W-16 Spec V) and Toyota filter every 5,000 miles from now on. Like Scotty Kilmer says, oil & filters are cheap, engines are expensive. LOL 😎
Early happy Thanksgiving Brooks! What a beautiful car! The deep blue goes perfectly with the macadamia interior! Don’t know whether you knew, I traded my 2019 Camry XSE off to my nearby Missouri Toyota dealership and got a 2021 Camry XSE hybrid in Celestial Silver with Cockpit Red interior. What an amazing car it is! I have the 9 inch touchscreen with JBL sound system and dynamic navigation system built in. Fuel mileage has been excellent as well! The 208 combined horsepower with the electric motor is excellent as well! Hoping you and your Family are all doing well! Good to see you sharing this! Mark in Iowa.
Can you make a video of all the settings in the bottom icon on the screen that is specific to the ES? I wonder how much is in there. Does it have driver profiles?
Did you have to pay “Dealer Mark-up price? Also how long did you wait for your vehicle. I’m looking to purchase this vehicle but in a different color combination. Nice car, though!
Since Lexus replaced Enform with a new infotainment system, what is the current situation with its Nav system? Is Dynamic Navigation with cloud updates still here? What is the cost/frequency and does any of it require dealer-only type updates? IT doesn't look like you responded to any comments. Are you reading them?
Would you feel comfortable if you showed up to the airport and fly on an airplane with one Engine? Just like most passengers aircraft, Hybrid cars have 2 power systems and braking systems working together. Even trains have multiple power and brakes systems working together. They can even turn off individual powered axles or whole locomotive. Gas powered vehicles just have one engine and a set of brake pads.

Wow Brooks! That looks so cool!
Great video Brooks!😸
What a beautiful color
What a beauty! This is not your Camry.
Now much does the hybrid feature add to the cost?
Can you make a video of all the settings in the bottom icon on the screen that is specific to the ES? I wonder how much is in there. Does it have driver profiles?
yes it has profiles
Does this model come in non-metallic paint colors?
Does it have a full-size spare tier?
You forgot that they removed the hybrid specific badges
What's the difference to the luxury package or to Utro luxury package?
You never mentioned the noise reduction Wheels
Did you have to pay “Dealer Mark-up price? Also how long did you wait for your vehicle. I’m looking to purchase this vehicle but in a different color combination. Nice car, though!

The Dynamic Nav is a cloud based system with 3 years of free cloud updates. No dealer visits required for navigation updates!
Is that the same engine as the Toyota Camry?
What are the cons of getting the hybrid over the standard ES?
#1 it costs more. Thousands but not sure exactly how much.

Thanks. Do you know if there are any reliability or performance differences?
Toyota and Lexus have been making hybrids for years and they have gotten very smooth running and reliable.
Does it have wireless apple car play
Yes!
👍
Aside from the better UI, the 2022 version IMO is better.
Yeah they have finally removed the touch pad!
I love the car but I do not believe in having a hybrid. I have no respect or use for an electric car. Gasoline all the way!

Gas powered vehicles just have one engine and a set of brake pads.
Why is that?
It literally burns gasoline as the only fuel source but I guess you can't cure stupid.
