Used 2016 Lexus ES 300h 4dr Sedan (2.5L 4cyl gas/electric hybrid CVT) Consumer Reviews
Sleek and sporty
This is a great vehicle ! Exterior appointments are very nice. I would have liked the option of pin striping but am well satisfied with the appearance over all. The interior is very nicely done with quality materials and color selection. Performance so far is great. It is taking some time to figure out how to make the navigation system work but will figure it out.

Quiet, comfortable, extremely reliable
I would highly recommend this car. It makes my commute a zen like, relaxing experience. I’m the second owner, bought it 3 years ago with 60k miles and has 101k miles now. It hasn’t had a single problem. It is very quiet and absorbs bumps and potholes beautifully. It has a good size trunk and all the options. At sea level and 55-70 mph the car gets 38 mpg and 30-34 mpg at 85+mph. At high elevation (5000’) it drops precipitously. Understand that the advertised mpg was determined with 91 octane, low rolling resistance tires, at sea level. I notice a HUGE difference in mpg with higher quality gas. Texaco and Shell give me much better milage than Walmart and truck stop gas. Quality, high octane gas is good for 3-4 more mpg. I had the non-hybrid version of this 2.5 engine in a Toyota Camry and I averaged 24 mpg in mixed driving in the Mountains and this got 30-32 in mixed driving in the same conditions. I always have this in Eco mode. If you use the seat warmers and heater the mpg drops. I use Michelin or Continental tires for low road noise. It has lots of torque for mountain passing and getting in the on ramp. It’ll do 100 mph all day long. My Infiniti Q50 had more cushion in the seats and 330 hp, but it sucked gas and this beats it in every other category. I’m 52 and my commute is 30 minutes on the freeway in Houston.

Pay Less for More
Lexus is riding on its name. For $7,700 less than the Lexus ES 300h, I purchased a Toyota Avalon hybrid Limited. The Avalon has more features, better styling, intuitive technology, a bigger trunk and is just plain fun to drive. The Avalon is built on the Lexus LS frame, while the Lexus ES is built on Toyota's Camry frame. I say this as a former Lexus ES 350 owner; I loved that car! The new ones are no match for my old Lexus or for the Toyota Avalon Limited.
