2020 Lexus ES 300h Trims Comparison

2020 ES 300h trim level differences

The 2020 Lexus ES 300h is a midsize luxury sedan available in three trims: the base ES 300h, Luxury and Ultra Luxury. All trims are powered by a 2.5-liter four-cylinder engine paired to an electric motor (215 total system horsepower) and a continuously variable automatic transmission. Only front-wheel drive is available.

Thanks to its extensive standard features, the base ES 350 may be enough for many shoppers. It comes with LED headlights, a sunroof, simulated-leather upholstery, power-adjustable front seats, an 8-inch central infotainment display, Bluetooth, smartphone app-based navigation, a Wi-Fi hotspot, and a 10-speaker sound system among other items.

Standard safety tech includes forward collision mitigation, lane keeping assist and lane departure warning, adaptive cruise control, and parking sensors. An optional Premium package adds a handful of other luxuries, such as heated and ventilated front seats and a power-adjustable steering wheel.

The Luxury trim pads on the Premium package features along with leather upholstery, additional front-seat adjustments and noise-reducing side windows, while the Ultra Luxury offers a more advanced suspension, upgraded leather and a hands-free trunk release.

Buyers might consider a few other options, including a navigation system (which includes a 12.3-inch display) and a premium Mark Levinson sound system. These can be optioned together or individually. Other options include 18-inch wheels, a wireless phone charging pad, and safety features such as blind-spot monitoring and a surround-view camera system.

Which 2020 ES 300h trim does Edmunds recommend?

The 2020 Lexus ES 300h comes very nicely equipped if you want luxury on a budget, with features such as a sunroof, 10-way power-adjustable front seats, a premium sound system and in-car Wi-Fi. But if you can stretch to the Luxury trim, it adds desirable extras such as leather seating, heated and ventilated front seats, wood interior trim, and ambient interior lighting. Audiophiles should consider the Navigation/Mark Levinson Premium Audio package not only for its integrated nav system but also because it offers one of the best sound systems available in any car.
