Got my ES300h in mid april. 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 😎
It is probably the best car in the world. Not too much technologie, still has normal buttons, super reliable, fuel economy is great, interior is stunning, comfort is fantastic, price is good, there is nothing negative about this car, except the rear seat not being able to fold down. All in all i would say 99% perfect.
Hero Spec for the WIN! I have the illuminated door sills on my IS 500, it's a little gimmicky, but God I love it. 😀 I've had two ES' in the past and the seats have never folded, which I thought was strange because my three IS' did. I wish Lexus would put more umph into the ES, but I understand the market for this car specifically is NOT the vroom-vroom type. 😈 Thanks for posting!
Well, the best is subjective, but we bought a 24 ES300h UL. It is a very well-built, well engineered masterpiece in our opinion, but we are Toyota/Lexus biased. If one is as good or better, I would have to see it. It would be hard to imagine.
As far as horsepower in performance goes no because you can get a Mercedes 454 Matic for a BMW five series and it’s gonna blow a Lexus F sport out of the water but as far as fuel efficiency goes when you’re getting 40 40,45 miles to gallon in your only putting 87 gas nothing beats a Lexus ESF sport
lol @ the idea of taking this fwd slow car on the track 😂 anyway, it's a comfy roomy car, but how is the hybrid drive train? (over 8s to 60 is really slow these days, especially for the so-called 'sport' trim)
You get the V6 if you want. Better not wait long, it will be extinct in the next gen ES. The Hybrid has enough power for most and significantly better fuel economy.
@@reddevil6585 A large number of buyers will trade that power for stellar fuel economy of 44 mpg VS. 25 mpg for the V6. That's why the hybrid succeeds. Likely the V6 will soon be replaced by the 340 to 355 HP Hybrid MAX which mates a turbo 4 cylinder to a hybrid powertrain. The Toyota Crown Platinum and the new Lexus RX already have that engine.
i would go with Genesis, better pricing and better warranties. But these two brands are far above the junk being peddled by the little 3 in this country and canada......🤔🧐🤗
You don't need 10 years warranty on a lexus 😂😂. And genesis is not a hybrid. So your agreement don't make sense. Offcus you need thar warranty on your genesis cuz you will use it. Lexus owner don't need 10 years warranty. 😂😂😂

Great review Lauren. I'm a CT5 fan, but nothing beats Lexus reliability and resale.
Very nice vehicle styling looks great
GREAT review, Lauren. as ALWAYS! Nice car that would make a good replacement for my 2016 Toyota Avalon Hybrid.

I love my Lexus, truly a very comfortable ride!

It is an appealing car, but I will ALWAYS hate that front end, and will not even mention the presence of a CVT.

I need one for Uber executives
Holy Batman. No on the interior colors lol
Luke! I am your Father! No V6, no sale
Hyundai's Santa Fe with the 2.5L turbo is better than a V6...🤔🧐😎
@@jrs9264 N/A V6 is way better then turbo bud and reliable too.
No get the v6

@@RagShop1 not enough power for the sort of money this costs

As an additional con, I'd add the CVT transmission to the list.
