Used 2017 Lexus ES 300h Sedan Trims Comparison

Standard equipment includes 17-inch wheels, LED lighting (headlights, taillights, running lights and foglights), automatic high beams, a sunroof, heated mirrors, keyless entry and ignition, adaptive cruise control and a host of active driver aids (see Safety section). Also standard are dual-zone automatic climate control, eight-way power front seats, simulated leather upholstery, an auto-dimming rearview mirror, a rearview camera, Lexus Enform Remote (allows for smartphone control of some vehicle functions) and Lexus Safety Connect emergency communications.

On the tech front the ES 300h comes with a 7-inch touchscreen and multipurpose control knob, Bluetooth connectivity, Siri Eyes Free (iPhone voice control integration) and an eight-speaker sound system with a CD player, satellite radio, HD radio, an auxiliary audio jack and a USB audio interface.

Various individual options and packages are available, depending on the region in which you live. Also many items and packages must be purchased in combination with one another.

The Navigation package includes a larger 8-inch display screen, the mouselike Remote Touch interface, a navigation system, voice controls, enhanced Bluetooth connectivity and the Enform suite of smartphone-connected aps and concierge services. A 15-speaker Mark Levinson surround-sound audio system can be added as well.

The Premium package adds a power-adjustable steering wheel, driver memory functions and several wood trim choices. The Luxury package includes all the Premium items, plus leather upholstery and heated and ventilated front seats. The Ultra Luxury package includes items from both the Premium and Luxury package, plus a driver seat-cushion extender, passenger-seat memory functions, a power rear window shade, manual rear side sunshades and ambient lighting.

Notable stand-alone options include upgraded headlights, blind-spot monitoring with rear cross-traffic alert, and front and rear parking sensors.

The front-wheel-drive 2017 Lexus ES 300h combines a 2.5-liter four-cylinder engine and an electric motor that together send 200 horsepower to the front wheels.

In Edmunds testing, an ES 300h accelerated from zero to 60 mph in 7.8 seconds. That's not quick for a conventional entry-level luxury sedan, but it's pretty good for a hybrid. EPA-estimated fuel economy is an excellent 40 mpg combined (40 city/39 highway), an estimate we managed to match during Edmunds testing.
