The Lexus ES 300h is one of just a few luxury midsize hybrid sedans. Fuel economy is excellent, and the 300h handles surprisingly well and retains the Lexus hallmark focus on comfort and serenity. European plug-in hybrids are typically sportier, but the ES remains one of today's best all-around performers.

Pros

Excellent ride quality and a quiet cabin
Impressive fuel economy considering its size and power
Comfortable and mostly upscale interior

Cons

Disappointing quality of some interior materials
Rear seats don't fold down
Acceleration is slow by luxury sedan standards

What's new

F Sport Design and F Sport Handling trims
Updated infotainment system with wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto
Redesigned center console
Part of the seventh Lexus ES generation introduced for 2019

Overview

The Lexus ES 300h isn't exciting and doesn't boast the latest technology, but it doesn't need to because its top-notch comfort and efficient hybrid powertrain appeal to a wide variety of people. It also has a low price of entry for a large luxury hybrid sedan. The ES 300h is part of the ES lineup, which also includes the separately reviewed non-hybrid ES 350 and ES 250.

Cost to Drive^{Cost to drive estimates for the 2023 Lexus ES 300h 4dr Sedan (2.5L 4cyl gas/electric hybrid CVT) and comparison vehicles are based on 15,000 miles per year (with a mix of 55% city and 45% highway driving) and energy estimates of $3.50 per gallon for regular unleaded in Ohio.}

The ES 300h's lack of sportiness and tech hasn't gone unnoticed by Lexus. For 2023, the ES 300h gains two new sporty trim levels, the F Sport Design, which is similar to last year's F Sport trim, and the F Sport Handling. As the name implies, the F Sport Handling improves handling by adding a performance-tuned adaptive suspension and more aggressive driving modes to spice things up. The 300h also received a needed dose of tech in the form of a new infotainment system. The new Lexus Interface system adds a "Hey Lexus" voice assistant, plus wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto smartphone integration, and ditches the tricky-to-use touchpad. The lack of the touchpad allowed designers to reconfigure the center console's design.

The ES 300h and the larger LS 500h are Lexus' only hybrid cars. Both face off against very few large luxury hybrid sedan rivals. The BMW 530e is one example, but it's a plug-in hybrid that costs significantly more than the 300h. Outside that, there isn't much that competes with it besides non-luxury models like the Toyota Camry Hybrid or Honda Accord Hybrid. And if you aren't hard set on a hybrid model, the additional 87 horsepower the ES 350 provides should please your inner speed demon.

In addition to the ES 300h's impressive fuel economy rating of 44 mpg combined, the hybrid will also shuttle you and your family around in supreme comfort thanks to its quiet interior, cushy ride and supportive seats. It also handles quite well for a car that's not designed to. If those qualities can make you forgive its sluggish acceleration and lack of excitement, then the ES 300h might be the car for you. To help you decide, check out our test team's in-depth review below in the Edmunds Expert Rating.

Rated for you by America's best test team.

Performance

7.0/10

How does the ES 300h drive? You don't expect much vigor or verve from a luxury hybrid, but the ES 300h handles surprisingly well. It stays composed in corners, with better body control than you'd expect from a luxury sedan. The ES 300h isn't made for stoplight sprints, but acceleration is decent for a hybrid. In Edmunds' testing it achieved a 0-60 mph time of 8.3 seconds.

The 300h's steering has the same numb, light effort that plagues many hybrids, although Sport mode gives it a livelier feel. Braking is unfortunately clunky, with a harsh sensation when the ES switches between its regenerative and friction brake modes. Otherwise, the engine and CVT automatic's smooth acceleration makes the ES a pleasure to drive, even in city traffic, where it feels like it's gliding.

Comfort

8.5/10

How comfortable is the ES 300h? Comfort and a sense of isolation remain ES hallmarks. The front seats are firm and supportive, without excessive side bolsters to hamper getting in or out. The rear seats are just as comfortable, if a bit wide and flat. You can sit up front or in back for long stretches without fatigue.

This latest 300h hasn't lost its ability to absorb bumps and road rash either. There's a bit of intrusive wind noise at highway speeds — more than we'd expect of a Lexus — but maybe it's just more noticeable since the car tames road and tire noise so well. Engine noise is almost imperceptible. More warmth from the seat heaters on cold days would be nice.

Build & Price

Interior

8.5/10

How’s the interior? Getting in and out of the ES is no trouble thanks to the low seat cushions and wide door openings. There's also a good-size gap between front passengers and door panels that creates a feeling of space. There's loads of room in the back seat, especially between the seatbacks and knees, even for 6-foot-tall passengers.

Drivers of most heights and body types should find a comfortable driving position given the ES' power-adjustable seat and mostly clear views all around the car. Only the ES' incoherent array of buttons and switchgear is inexplicably inelegant in an otherwise elegant cabin. (The volume knob is great, though, and feels like an old-school stereo receiver.)

Technology

8.0/10

How’s the tech? Our test car came with the spectacular-looking 12-inch infotainment display. The widescreen navigation maps look great thanks to excellent color contrast and indicators. The ES also includes several standard driver assist features, such as adaptive cruise control and lane keeping assistance, which help minimize lane wandering. This isn't semi-automated driving, and the degree of steering correction is limited, but it's useful for occasional lapses of attention.

Storage

8.5/10

How’s the storage? You get a big trunk with the ES 300h. The hybrid battery pack resides beneath the rear seats, so cargo space is 13.9 cubic feet, the same as in the non-hybrid ES. Unfortunately, you can't fold the rear seats to increase space; there's only a pass-through slot for long items.

Storage for small items inside the cabin is abundant. There's also plenty of space for child safety seats, and they're easy to install. Just detach the plastic tabs over the car seat anchors in the seat cushions. Generous rear seat room means most seats will fit without a need for sliding up the front seats.

Fuel Economy

9.0/10

How’s the fuel economy? With an EPA estimate of 44 mpg combined, the ES 300h is one of the more efficient sedans you can buy. We observed 46.2 mpg on our evaluation route, which indicates that the EPA figure is attainable.

Value

8.5/10

Is the ES 300h a good value? For a relatively affordable sum, the redesigned ES 300h delivers a substantial luxury experience. The upholstery feels supple and substantial, and the cabin shows typical Lexus attention to detail: tight panel gaps, high-quality controls and detailed stitching. Warranty coverage is on par for the segment.

It doesn't cost much more than a top-of-the-line Toyota Avalon Hybrid. Why not splurge a bit and get the Lexus?

Wildcard

7.0/10

The ES 300h isn't as fun to drive as more expensive European plug-in hybrids. But it excels in other ways. It's comfortable without being floaty, large without feeling ponderous, and serene without being detached. Sublime suspension tuning, a wonderful audio system, and a welcoming and roomy interior are other advantages.

Which ES 300h does Edmunds recommend?

If you don't care for the sporty looks of the F Sport Design, we recommend the Luxury trim. In addition to the standard features from the base trim and the contents from the Premium package, you get larger 18-inch wheels, leather upholstery, a sport-tuned suspension and interior ambient lighting. Opting for the 12.3-inch center touchscreen improves the look of the interior and adds more tech.

Lexus ES 300h models

The 2023 Lexus ES 300h comes in five trim levels, the base ES 300h, the midlevel Luxury trim and the range-topping Ultra Luxury trim. For a sportier look, you can opt for the new F Sport Design trim, but if you also want improved handling dynamics, go for the other new trim level, the F Sport Handling. All trims are front-wheel-drive and use a hybrid powertrain that combines a 2.5-liter four-cylinder engine with a hybrid system (215 total system horsepower) and a continuously variable automatic transmission (CVT).

Lexus ES Hybrid - Generally a great car

Anthony1977, 03/22/2022

2022 Lexus ES 300h 4dr Sedan (2.5L 4cyl gas/electric hybrid CVT)

Have had my ES Hybrid for about 4 months and 6000 miles now, including a 2500 mile round trip from Pennsylvania to Florida. My average mpg over those 6k miles is sitting right at 39. A bit disappointing given the EPA ratings, but still pretty good given the size of the car. My best tank was 43 while doing local driving on flat roads in Florida - my worst tank was 36 on the trip home … from Florida moving fairly "briskly." Hopefully my average improves as we move out of winter - gas mix will change and the gas engine definitely runs more often with the HVAC system engaged as one would expect. This review may seem mpg focused, but I imagine that's why most folks would be interested in the hybrid version vs. the standard gas engine version, as you do give up some "performance" for the better mileage. Otherwise there is not much to complain about - I personally love the looks of the very mildly updated 2022 model with the new 10 spoke wheel design in Cloudburst Gray. I had been shopping between this and an Avalon Hybrid, but in my opinion the Lexus is better looking, had much better selection (at least in November '21,) and the pricing was very similar - Toyota was marking up their limited stock while I got $1k off my Lexus that was a perfect match to the limited options I was looking for. The dealership experience was about as pleasant and low-pressure as one could ask for, and I have not had any problems with the car to date. I did look at a leftover '21 model as well in November, but that touchpad-only display interface was not very good. The '22 models still have the touchpad, but the screen is now a touchscreen as well and I use that - for me it's fairly straightforward and easy to use. Car is great for highway cruising - you do get noise from that 4cylinder engine when it's accelerating, but that's one of the hybrid tradeoffs. The rear seat doesn't fold down (there is a small pass-through) which bugged me at first, but in 6000 miles it hasn't come up once. All in all, if you're looking for a large/luxury sedan that gets great mileage and you're not ready for the jump to a full-electric vehicle you really can't go wrong with the ES hybrid - and you don't really have many other options on the market. No regrets from this buyer - I'd update from 4 star to 5 star if I could consistently hit the EPA figures like others have. UPDATE1: Now has been about 10 months since I took delivery and I have 13.5k miles on the car, with another round trip from PA to FL. The lifetime average is sitting right around 41mpg. Still a very happy customer - not a single issue over that time. I have the "Rich Creme" interior color which looks sharp, but every few month I do use a leather cleaner in the high-traffic areas to keep it looking good. And now that my wife has given in and started to drive it she likes it too - she's looking at a NX Hybrid for her next vehicle refresh... UPDATE2: Now has been about 22 months since I took delivery in Nov 2021 and just under 30k miles on the car. Lifetime average improved to 42mpg and seems to have leveled off. Still very happy with the purchase - great for my PA to FL runs and not a single reliability issue. Only complaint about the first 30k miles is the stock Bridgestone Turanza EL440 that the car came with. These were worn out at about 28k miles, even with highway driving and regular rotations so that was strike one against them. Wasn't until I replaced with a set of Michelin CrossClimate2 that I realized how much louder the stock tires were - new tires are much quieter, and perform much better in wet conditions. Time will tell how much MPG I've sacrificed for less road noise and better performance but if it's a small delta it will be worth it.

2022 Lexus ES 300h F SPORT 4dr Sedan (2.5L 4cyl gas/electric hybrid CVT)

I have been watching this car for a while from afar. The style of Lexus is evident throughout. It performs quite well on the highway and around town. The only negative aspects for me is the lack of Android Auto and there not being a delay in power off after killing the engine. Sometimes you want to listen to the radio after arriving at the destination without having to enter Aux mode. …

Lexus ES 300h vs. BMW 5 Series

The BMW 530e is the same size as the ES 300h, but it's powered by a plug-in hybrid powertrain that provides up to 21 miles of all-electric driving, and the price difference is staggering. If the 530e's price tag is too steep, you could opt for the 330e, which is priced like the Lexus but is smaller in size. Just keep in mind that plug-in BMWs should be charged regularly in order to take advantage of the all-electric driving range. If not, they operate like a regular hybrid, making them significantly less efficient than the ES 300h.

Lexus ES 300h vs. Toyota Camry Hybrid

The Camry Hybrid isn't as luxurious as the ES 300h, but it comes close and provides a similar amount of tech if you add most of the optional features to the highest trim level. Doing that still makes it a lot more affordable than the ES. The Camry's cabin is similar in size, but its trunk is larger and it's more fuel-efficient than the Lexus. However, if you're looking for a more premium ownership experience with an even quieter, more comfortable ride quality, the ES 300h is the way to go.

Lexus ES 300h vs. Lexus ES 350

The ES 300h is based on the non-hybrid ES 350. The V6-powered ES 350 packs almost 90 more horses and is much quicker, but you'll be spending more time and money at the pump. Its fuel economy rating of 26 mpg combined is meager compared to the ES 300h's 44 mpg combined. Beyond their mpg figures, pricing is similar, and both ES models offer almost identical features and deliver excellent comfort.
