ES300h Ultra Luxury
This model has all of the bells and whistles that I wanted. Plus some new features I didn't know it had. For example, a forward camera that also provides a visual image when pulling up to a curb so you don't hit the front grille area. After driving the car for six months I still love it but with two noticeable issues. 1) I received a Recall Notice that certain engine blocks were defective so the entire engine must be replaced to avoid a possible fire. A defective engine will be replaced free of charge. 2) The steering column and seat height requires constant adjustment to avoid having my knee hit the steering column when braking. Evidently the steering column is slightly lower than previous models. Being tall I didn’t have this issue with my 2005 Lexus ES 330.

Didn't buy it because....
As a Lexus owner for the past 30 years, I was ready and willing to buy my 3rd, a 2020 ES350h sedan. While I liked the car's styling, ride quality and pricing two big flaws in its interior design kept me from buying it: (1) The interior navigation screen is just stuck onto the top of the dash, rather than integrated into it (as is the case with every other car in this class). Worse than its appearance was that the screen is not hooded or shaded in any way so that the outside light coming through the windshield directly behind the screen makes the screen difficult to see. (2) The touch pad controller, which is the only way to interface manually with the car's electronics was terrible -- worse than every reviewer says it is. Although the input sensitivity of the touch pad has 2 customizable settings other than standard, the interface experience remained very "twitchy" and difficult to use even at the least sensitive setting and even after I spent 1/2 hour in the parked car working with it. I would hate to have to use this while driving. I'm was unhappily surprised -- Lexus has been building luxury cars long enough to know better.

Great car
I agree with all the typical pros about this car. Comfortable, quiet, reliable, great gas mileage... I even disagree with the most common cons. The infotainment system function is not an issue for me. The acceleration is very good unless your looking to drag race. The one real negative is the SatNav. The 12" display is great but the technology of the information is pathetic. It is slow to pull up your destination. It often says it can't find your destination. It often gives bad directions. The ETA estimate is always way off to start the trip. I end having to use Google maps off my phone instead because it is so bad. The rest of the car is great.

Amazing Quiet Sedan With Exceptional Fuel Economy
My car is a 2020 Ultra Luxery. Been driving this car for month getting 46.4 MPG. This car is so quiet the ride so smooth that I go looking for places to drive to. Love the Mark Levinson sound system. Apple CarPlay on the 12 inch screen. The triple beam headlamps are amazing at night. A few things I would change to make it perfect. Redesign the front console by removing the touch pad, make it a touch screen (which they have done now) put better cupholders, and move the USB for CarPlay to the center console out of sight. Make it a plug in hybrid. The only thing that would make it even better is a 40-50 mile capacity battery with plug in hybrid. That’s it, this car is very close to perfect.
Snazzy hybrid
Elegant, nice-looking hybrid; reasonably priced with 0.0% financing.

Impressive Luxery Sedan
I find it amazing this car is able to provide 45 MPG at the same time it rides so well and the interior is so quiet. The Mark Levinson Speakers are a worthy upgrade. The Triple Beam Headlights are awesome as well. My only negative is I wish the CarPlay cables were in center armrest out of sight.

Uber driver from Dubai
2020 Lexus ES 300h. All the uber drivers have white late model es300h. Guy from Pakistan and he told me he drives 12 hours and his dad the other 12. Gets rid of it at 1 million km. Could tell the shocks were blown and the steering wheel leather was replaced and the seats were taped but other than that the motor will run forever.
