Used 2019 Lexus ES 300h Consumer Reviews
2019 Lexus 300h UL
I have experienced 42 to 46 mpg in a 1200 mile trip. The UL package has every option available, as far as I know. As far as the engine power, I was pleasantly surprised. I was recently passing a big truck in the desert and I went from 65 mph to 90 mph in a matter of seconds. Don't be afraid to put your foot in it when you need to. The lane assist keeps the car in the lane, even on curves in the road(tested with my hands slightly away from the steering wheel). Great car, so far.

So this is what luxury feels like
For a base model, my car is extremely plush. It's super quiet and is pillowy soft on the road, taking most bumps/potholes with ease and grace. The finishes are largely superb and it's very comfortable to sit in. There are a few things that irk me (unintuitive infotainment system, difficult menu navigation to turn the AC on/off, bright but limited headlight range, abysmal amount of interior storage space), but compared the comfort, fuel efficiency, and final price, I can certainly deal with them. Hands-down the nicest car I've ever had, it's actually nice to get into it during the evening commute because it's my comfy, quiet space.

All I expected and more!
The car is comfortable, QUIET, a pleasure to drive. I Found the sound system to be great, and once I had set the “electronics” set to my wishes, I did not have to continue to reset them. this helped me not to get overwhelmed by all the options.

2019 LEXUS ES 300h luxury edition
Leased 2017 Lexus ES 350 totaled after colliding with feral pig (!) on freeway, yikes! Liked the car VERY much, 30K miles, very smooth & comfortable, fabulous cruiser. Cons: not great on curves, bit of a loose road grip and ride, accelerator lag. Stretched for new platform 2019 ES 300h, GREAT CAR! Leased October 2019, 13,000 miles, mix city + freeway. 2017 ES: luxurious Camry. 2019 ES: Lexus home run! MUCH IMPROVED over 2017 ES: solid and firm ride, firmer road grip & cornering, quick acceleration (no lag!), dynamic cruise control (down to zero MPH!), gas tank (pump doesn’t stop 2 gallons short of full), shifter solid and smooth feel, same with door handles. MANY UNSOLICITED COMPLIMENTS from passengers, “Nice car!” Includes my picky son, who has my old 2016 Toyota Camry (also nice car). Great 2020 ES 300h review and its “buttery” ride from Exhaust Sports Auto: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h9qYGoc2I5A Best car owned, includes 1997 Lexus LS400 and 2004 Jaguar XJ sedan (comfy!) UPDATE JAN 2024: 36,000 miles, excellent throughout, comfortable and low maintenance! High 30"s MPG city driving (don't use Eco drive, want the better acceleration); up to 44 MPG on highway. Relaxed driving with adaptive cruise control and lane adjust. Tires good for another 10,000-15,000 miles. Appreciate infrequent gas station visits, max. 5 minute fill ups. Plenty of trunk space for shopping, trips. Car a definite keeper, will buy after lease expires in April.

Still impressed!!
It will be difficult to learn all the tech, including attempting cell phone communications with various functions. Otherwise, this is a fine car, with more than expected power. Excellent acceleration and handling.
