Fun money- saver
Just bought our first Lexus for retirement travel and cannot believe the 44 mpg and the power in sports mode. I have a Toyota Tundra 2018 that cost $70+ to fill up to travel 500+ miles. The Lexus cost $35 to fill up and travel 450+. I have fun driving and saving money! This is the best hybrid in a luxury class!

Smooth as silk
I have owned multiple Hybrids and Multiple EVs. After 4 years on a model 3 Long Range l, i decided to move on for practical reasons but honestly, the overall brand That leadership had created no longer match my values. Two years inro my ownership there continues to be no comparison when you compare the Luxury and finish of the 300h to the M3. The ride is smooth and the torque on sport mode is not to shabby. I was getting 45-47 MPG when I first purchased the car but since writing the original review getting more 43 MPG but I think that's based on where I am.driving more than a degradation in MPG I like the tech in the 300H and while the M3 has more bells and whistles as far as some of the useless tech ( netflix), the constant updates and changes to the UI are actually confusing. Also, when I saw all those poor Tesla owners having their cars towed During the height of winter, it reinforces my theory that the battery tech in the infrastructure still is not there Even with the Tesla supercharge network, I always got nervous about what would happen if something mechanical happened to the car while on a long trip your options are really limited in terms of getting the vehicle fixed Because even when I had a minor issue in my home area, I was waiting 2 to 3 weeks just to get An appointment. I can only imagine what might happen if I was two or three hours away from my home. . Unlike the M3 Tesla M3 Lexus is real refined luxury and refined finish.By the way no unexpected service costs and I can safely say 2 years into my original review still 5 stars. I do believe once the infrastructure is built out I will go back to an EV, but I will never ever buy a Tesla again.

I love this car!
This car has performance, Fuel-efficiently, style, comfort…. I absolutely love it. My gas mileage is 48.3 average. I love the handling. Honestly best car ever bought. It’s my first high performance or luxury car I’ve bought… I have bought more of a Toyota or Honda buyer over the years. I am so pleased with this car so far….5 months in.
Amazing!
The car is a dream! Ride, comfort and style all are A+. I’ve had my Ultra Luxury trim for a year and have driven on trips and around the neighborhood In that time and now I can write about it. Flawless. This isn’t my first Lexus or hybrid from Toyota/Lexus. No one does hybrids like Toyota! They have it down and they are truly a marvel of engineering. Over the year in all seasons I’ve got 44mpg overall! Best was 52mpg and the worst was 38mpg.

Luxury with poor assembly
Pros include the fuel economy, regardless the driving mode, the super comfy seats, and the smooth ride. The greatest con is the surprisingly poor assembly, interior panels crackling, rattling (seat belt fastener, roof carpet, electric cable under the seats hitting the air panel for rear seats, panels under the passenger side leg area, also something deep under the dash, front top speakers rattling, too, cockpit cover further sides not fixed, rattling… incredibly loud wind noise from the top glass. Very disappointing.
Subdued class
Previously I had many Lincoln MKZ hybrids and this is my second Lexus ES hybrid. The Lincolns handled better but this Lexus ES hybrid is peppier, much roomier interior & trunk, more luxurious interior, better economy, better visibility all around. I do miss Lincoln’s panoramic roof and 14-way bladder controlled front seats. Very solid feeling though Navigation upgrade loses previous useable split screen and less stored radio stations & destination storage. Finding car’s low height increasing problems in entry & exit not only with aging joints and muscles but with head clearance. Also scrapping of low frontend on parking lot concrete tire stops. Wish it had folding rear seats! Wonderful cruiser but cornering at higher speeds can be a handful.

Look no further!!!
This is my third ES300H and Toyota only improved on every aspect. This car is smooth and comfortable and the gas is great for a car this size.

Step up from Avalon Hybrid
We currently have a 2016 Toyota Avalon Hybrid and absolutely love it. We hand vehicles down to our kids and the Avalon is headed to replace a 2007 Toyota Camry Hybrid that has been absolutely one of the best vehicles we have ever owned. Since we could not get our hands on to a 2022 Avalon Hybrid due to production ending we decided to look at the ES300h. Wow! We reserved one in late August and one became available in mid-November. We went in, test drove it and bought it that day. It's been less than a month, but we absolutely love the design, ride, quiet and overall build. The seat extention on the driver seat is a wonderful surprise at how more comfortable it makes the drive. Unfortunately because we bought this in the winter (MN) time, I do not expect to get near the MPG. The first tank was at just over 36 with temperatures in the 10's, 20's and 30's. Not bad in my opinion. The dealership experience was tremendous once we got connected with the right representative. Now looking at a Lexus SUV.

Lexus ES 300h review
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.
