We were looking for another Toyota Avalon Hybrid to replace our 2016 Avalon Hybrid Limited that we gave to our son. However, with Toyota ending the Avalon production (did not like the new Crown replacement model) we were lost looking for hybrid replacement. The Camry was uncomfortable in comfort, do not care for Honda and the European models seemed too expensive. When we were told that Lexus had the sister to the Avalon (Lexus 300) we contacted the local Lexus dealer. We always looked at Lexus as a bit out of our budget. Once we test drove the ES250 (Camry's sister and just as uncomfortable in our opinion) and the ES300h we immediately feel in love with the ES300h. We placed our name into the dealers reservation list and less than 3 months later we had out ES300h Luxury. We picked it up in November 2022 and have absolutely enjoyed every mile in the car. The comfort in the drivers and front passenger seats is so enjoyable. Something I did not expect to enjoy so much was the extending drivers seat. What a game changer for me. It absolutely takes out any leg fatigue on longer trips. Would love to have this on any future vehicle we buy. The interior is very nice and luxurious. For some reason the manual clock on the dashboard makes the interior that much more luxurious. The touchscreen is so easy to use. The CarPlay for Apple is okay. The trunk space is huge. Even more than our Avalon which we did not think it could be. Cannot think of negative. The so-called experts knockdown the ES300 for its rear seats not folding down. Not an issue with us as we have an SUV that we can use when longer/larger items need to be transported. So for us not an issue. One thing we now regret is not having the 360 birds-eye panoramic view. We have it on our 2024 Toyota Grand Highlander and love it. Wish we would have spent the extra $. Looking forward to many more years of spending time in our 2023 ES300h.

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.

Amazing fit and finish, mileage not as expected

2023 Lexus ES 300h F SPORT Handling 4dr Sedan (2.5L 4cyl gas/electric hybrid CVT)

The vehicle is beautiful and comfortable; fit and finish is top notch and the 2023 is completely up to date with a modern infotainment system and wireless CarPlay. I have the F Sport Handling which allows to change drive modes and there is a noticeable difference between the modes - almost like deciding what car you want to drive each time you get in. Have only been averaging 36-37 mpg after the first two weeks of being over 40 - might be cold weather or the 19” rims. Overall very happy and hope it is as reliable as the gas version.

2022 lexus es300h average vehicle

I bought one about 3 months ago and it has about 5k miles on it so I guess it was enough time to get to know this car well. first of all, the gas mileage is showing average 41MPG so far, not far from the published range. but to be honest, I am quite disappointed with this vehicle for several reasons. one of the primary reasons I bought this car was for its known comfort in ride & low overall noise level. I am not sure it is due to the Bridgestone tires it came with but it is not very comfortable.. you feel all the imperfections on the road, not so planted and solid feel. also the noise level from tire and wind is noticeably worse than Nissan Altima I used to own. compared to my other Mercedes GLE, this car feel very light and tinny. for now I am stuck with this set of tires but I am not sure if different set of tires will dramatically improve this issue. I should have looked more on other brands cars but I didnt, I guess I trusted the reputation Lexus carries. if you are looking for a quiet solid comfortable luxury(not real one but good enough) vehicle- this will not deliver. hopefully at least this car stays trouble free.

Dealer reportedly told me wind noice a sunroof water leak was normal. 3rd Lexus-others never had either issue. Told I need to wait for regional person to come to town. Wanted 3 weeks and no idea when it might be

We bought a 2023 model with 8200 miles on it about six months ago. So far our WORST mileage has been 46 mpg. The car is great on the highway and around town. Very comfortable and while zero to sixty in 8.3 seconds isn’t great, it’s plenty good for merging and passing. We have had three tanks at better than 50 mpg. Drive with a light foot and the EPA numbers are easy to beat. It is odd that it is difficult to find an ES with leather (which ours has).

Lexus is know for its craftsmanship and reliability. As a previous Lexus owner, I've enjoyed this benefit greatly and the new 2022 Lexus ES300H is just perfect. Excellent mileage for the size, awesome ride and no worries about future reliability nor appreciation issues. Highly recommend Lexus vehicles.

It’s been almost 2 years and 28,000 miles since I got this car. It is very comfortable ride, the only issue I had earlier that my speakers didn’t work and I had to wait for a part almost a month besides that I’m pretty pleased with the car if you are looking for a comfortable ride with low gas mileage (40mpg in average) I would highly recommend it.

Quiet ride, too much play in the steering wheel

Beautiful car, loved everything about it except the handling, too much play in the steering wheel. Additionally the back seat doesn’t fold down. If you are looking for a quiet, comfortable cruiser this is the car for you, but if you prefer firm & nimble handling look elsewhere.
