It's fitting for such a sleeper monster. Executive saloon for old people type of presence but then you kick down on the pedal and you are violating any modern 5 series or e klass that's not an M or AMG.
Comparing price and running costs to BMW, Audi and Mercedes is incomplete unless you factor in reliability and subsequent running costs once you get to month 37. Lexus is SO much more reliable and better engineered.
You wont be disappointed had mine since 2014(2012 8.5k mileage 30mths old,lease surrender-so great deal) mine 2011 model so also the faster model unlike this review - the stats based on the later model but the headlight configuration give away which model. Made to order so generally most 2012 were 2011 early model.
Can anyone tell me how far you can drive on just the battery. I got caught out by the fuel shortages and living in a village could not get to the shops and back. Would this work as a temporary solution?i probably need 20-30 miles. Is that possible ?
Good review, but what's with the scary movie soundtrack thats on the background, so absurd.
Indeed. I expected a jumpscare the whole time.

I was expecting him to be abducted by aliens
The fact that I can now get one of these for under £6k is just insane...
Drove this for 2 years.. Miss it now
Why did you sell it ? Very rare to get a good example
Have it, love it… its 5.2 0-100kmt.

Pleasant review. Suits for the brand.
Thanks!
Good review, shame about the annoying banner
Love these my brother had 2 of there 2005 and 2006. Part of me still wants one
Oh dear I paid £2,500 for mine 3 weeks ago 06 on 126,000 mileage fully loaded with so many toys in built and few added toys and drives like a new car😄
Does the hybrid system sill work
Wow that's an amazing deal
How much is that in American money?
Did you win it on eBay?
@@5.0_life30 you couldn’t google it? Not everyone caters for you americans. The entitlement is real
Why the sinister music in the background ?

Hi Roger, it only goes a mile or so on full electric.
