Amazing Quiet Sedan With Exceptional Fuel Economy

2020 Lexus ES 300h Ultra Luxury 4dr Sedan (2.5L 4cyl gas/electric hybrid CVT)

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.

Lexus ES 300h review

Maine Max , 02/08/2022
2021 Lexus ES 300h Luxury 4dr Sedan (2.5L 4cyl gas/electric hybrid CVT)
4 of 5 people found this review helpful

I picked up my Lexus almost a year ago. Beautiful ride and I have averaged over 46 mpg. I drive my car very carefully and do not accelerate quickly at all. I get by far my best mileage around town. I love in a small town in Maine. One thing that takes a little getting used to to maximize mileage is get up to speed with the gas engine and then maintain with the battery to use it as efficiently as possible. The ride is very smooth and comfortable and with the 4 cylinder engine, there is plenty of power, though I rarely use the power. One of the big reasons I purchased my ES 300h was the great resale value. An old friend from years ago told me you have to look at resale value when looking at cars. Also, dependability is critically important and the Lexus reputation is so good. The car same with the top of the line stereo which is incredible. I would normally never paid this month for a stereo system but the sound is perfect. Would I get another, absolutely but would also consider the ES 350 with the 6 cylinder engine. I love the mileage in my ES 300h and recommend it to anyone looking to own a car for a long time, wants to dependable ride, safe, and great resale value. Previous car was an Audi Q5 TDI which I absolutely loved as well. Very different cars.
