It's everything I hoped for in the brand and more! When I drive sensibly I can get up to 800 miles per tank!!! Yes, I said 800 miles! I am a speeder so I mostly get 600 miles per tank and filling up for less than $30 in Atlanta, it's a win-win! The power is great (unlike some reviews said that I read)! Mine is a 2013 that I bought in 2019 with 103k miles. It has 133k now in 2021 (yeah, I drive a lot!) and I have no issues or complaints to report. I have always driven the Lexus brand since realizing many years ago that they NEVER have maintenance issues (well none of the 4 I've owned), not even my very first ES that had 331k miles on it when I purchased it. I drove it for 3 years and gave it to my high schooler who drove it another 2 years with NO ISSUES. It's the Lexus brand, and the hybrid is EVERYTHING! You won't go wrong with it!

Have had my ES300h for a little over a year and 20K miles. Even though it is not the strongest performance sedan, I knew this before buying it. I use this car to drive back and forth to work in traffic, occasionally take a weekend trip in it with my family. It's never let me down. It has great room for everyone, quiet (though not as quiet as my dad's LS), and very comfortable. Bonus is the great gas mileage in a luxury car (avg 38 in the spring, summer, fall and 34-35 in the winter). My only complaint is the slightly narrow seats as mentioned by some other reviewers. Like the mouse-like nav entertainment interface (though, did take some getting used to), and the dealership service is INCREDIBLE.

Ok, everything is great, except the darn front seats. The front seat cushion side bolsters dig into my hips and thighs. It gets annoying and makes me want to dump the car. Last years model had fantastic seats for the butt. I am not fat - in fact I am skinny and tall, and in my early 40's. If you have a slightly larger than average butt, you better sit in this awhile. I do not like it and mad that I have to "get used to it" I want everyone to know that this is something to look at, and what I consider a design mistake
Peppy performance for hybrid

If you think "hybrid" translates to "doggy," you'd be wrong with this car. Well-built, quiet and smooth ride. All the bells and whistles you need and most of what you want. Recently drove to FL for 3 months; combined mileage for entire trip was 42 mpg

Great Car with Disappointing MPG

My wife and I find the car a joy to ride in and drive. The seats are especially supportive and comfortable and long road trips are a pleasure. The ride is smooth, the acceleration is powerful and makes merging with traffic, under any condition, a breeze. The cabin is very quite and there's plenty of room both front and rear. We are a bit disappointed with the mileage we've been getting, though. The car computer calculation differs by about 7-10% from what I calculate. We've been averaging 37-38 mpg for mixed city/highway driving. We were expecting better! Overall we thing it's a great car and we'd buy it again.

Car drive smoothly & not much road noise ( quiet cabin). Headlight is very bright. Best of all it take less gas to go places ( average 36miles/Gallon). Love it so far

I have owned Toyotas for years and still have and love my Land Cruiser. My wife drives an Avalon which has given us great service over the years. I built my Lexus 300H online last year and got it just as I specified. It has exceeded my expectations for a year and I can't believe I waited until last year to get one. The Fire Agate Pearl color is just beautiful and I have no regrets in getting my first Lexus whatsoever.

This 2013 300h is a great luxury car. My other car is a Porsche Twin Turbo, and yes the 300 h is only a 8 second car to 60 and the Twin Turbo is a 4sec car, but the 300h really handled well in sport mode on a trip up the Pacific Coast Highway. It is a great highway cruiser, has averaged 37 plus mpg over the 25000 miles we have driven it and does everything you could ask of a great family sedan! Service and maintenance have been very low, virtually nothing. Knowing both what I have learned about Lexus and Toyota, I would have bought the Toyota Avalon hybrid, as the 300h and the Avalon were jointly developed and the drive trains are identical! The Avalon is slightly less expensive and more importantly, the service on the Avalon is free, whereas ou pay for the Lexus service after the first free service!!! Our 300h now has 33,600 miles and is still averaging 37 mpg! We cannot find anything wrong with the car other than the fact that the rear seat back doesn’t fold down so that more luggage or longer items might be carried in the trunk! We do take the vehicle to the local Toyota dealer for oil changes only because the same service at the Lexus dealership costs more and the dealership is 50 miles away. Other than the aforementioned oil changes and checks,we haven’t spent a penny on the vehicle! Will put a new set of “low rolling resistance” tires in roughly another 5000 miles. Simply a great family sedan!!!

I have owned the 300H now for two years. Gas mileage is excellent and have been very reliable. Love the fact I can use regualar gas. Front seats not as comfortable as I had hoped. When closing doors they dont have the nice sound of closing as earlier ES models. Overall though very pleased

7Bought the 2014 300H 7/2016 ( 7 years). Only got 48K miles on it. In the city, I get 35 to 37 mpg. Highway, it is more like 38mpg. In spring/fall like weather when I am not using either A/C or heat, in 45mpg roads, I used to get 45 mpg if it is not stop-n-go. MPG has gone down over the years. New small non-hybrid are getting close close to 35 mpg now. Car is very comfortable. Seat vents work great especially in the summer. Heated steering wheel is a welcome addition in the cold mornings. Since it was 'Dealer Certified', all maintenance (oil changes and other fluids, air filter changes, tire rotation and car washes) have all been free. Obviously this ended after 3 years. But now I have to pay. But watch out, every now and then, the dealer tries to 'sell' another service that is not covered (like wheel alignment - which is not necessary unless you have been hitting lots pot holes or curbs). The dealer service area is very clean - and full of light refreshments (fruit, hot chocolate, cookies, chips, soda, etc.) plus several rooms to watch whatever TV channel you want while you wait. Did I say they also have WiFi in case you need it. Be careful about 'Dealer' recommending 45K service or such. Ask specifically what will be done. For me they said the service was to check all the fluids, change oil and filter (all for $475). Its up to you what you decide. I got all that done at the Toyota dealer for $80. Am sure you can find a cheaper place just insist on synthetic oil. In 6 1/2 years, I have (apart for new tires) spent less than $200.
