I was driven in new A6, drove G30 and I drive E300de 2022 currently. A6 is expensive VW, G30 is better than the E class. For the first time in my life I tried ES300h two weeks ago. Now I am probably buying it this or next week in Ultra Luxury equipment because 'OMG!'. German cars can't even get close too how everything is made in that car. Owning 4 toyotas and when I saw the quality and now experienced how the Lexus drives, it is time for my first Lexus ever.
@@japanwatchconnection in terms of real driving experience? No. In terms of made quality when it comes to materials, engine and electronics? Lexus all the way. I am 27. So many cars went thru my hands that most of the time I can't even remember everything I drove(50+). When it's good year for me I am doing 150 000km/year with cars. Taken that into consideration, someone should give me certificate for professional car tester.🤣 But also we could say I am even 90y.o. with so many km and cars passed around. I picked up my ES300H yesterday finally. He is for plesaure. Soon I will take for my wife 340/440 which I will steal from her quite often just to have fun😄
@@DCKarlo I own IS300H and I miss a bit wider, bigger seats, ventilated seats and better headlights (AHS). And Android auto. All of this is available in ES. But I heard ES is somehow slower (it has also 2.5 liter engine, but it's "dynamic force" which is... less dynamic than in IS?).
Number 8 and possibly the most relevant compared to its rivals, especially the Germans: RELIABILITY!! Stunning car with truly amazing quality, durability and reliability for a very reasonable price compared to its rivals!! This is the clear winner for me!!
Dang compared to all the car enthusiast reviews where performance and numbers is all that seems to matter, this felt like a refreshing and beautiful take on a car review. Almost like a nat geo doc
Totally agree, I’m 33 years old and just bought a 22 ES, wish I bought a Lexus 8 years ago when I bought my first new vehicle, can’t believe what I was missing. It’s def. A magic carpet ride quality! Prob will never leave this brand now….
Having purchased a 2019 Model 2 months ago, I agree with your comments, excellent review. Traded in my 2016 RX for this,so glade I did especially with currant petrol prices,truly a magic carpet ride,so quiet and comfortable on any surface,the fuel economy for a car of this size is amazing, thrash it and it is difficult to get under 35 Miles/gallon, smooth driving on Motorway way averaging in 50s,drove an hour on an A road 40-50 Miles per hour,my RX managed 35 MPJ,got 61 MPG on the ES, the hybrid system is so much better and smoother, the battery is in use a lot more even up to 50MPH,if any one has any doubts about how good this is the watch some of the reviews from other motoring channels like Savagees,etc about the ES300H. The Auto setting on the ventilation system will detect pollution ex driving behind a car that is blowing smoke,will switch the air intake to recirculating air then switch back to fresh air when the air is clear!. Disappointed by the lack of rear folding seats which limit practicality but other than that a truly Amazing car .
Hi Thanks. I'm thinking of getting one next couple of days. 20k miles F sport. It's done 20k miles and is on for around 30k. That good value? Nice red interior. My only concern is it seems a little slow for overtaking/ setting off etc What are your thoughts on performance?
Test drove this a while back. It was a very good car. I find the steering nicely weighted and the ride comfort exceptional. The engine refinement was so so. In the end I went for the RX 450h as the V6 sounded better and there was more boot capacity Lexus make great cars and the good news is they're getting better and better at it.
Yep, I got mine in mid April 2023. It's the ES300h Ultra Luxury Trim. It's the Ultra Luxury trim, which is what we wanted and is the highest trim for the ES hybrid. It is the Cloudburst Gray exterior with Acorn color semi-aniline leather interior.

More: The three-projector headlamp design creates an eye-catching L shape. Adding to this brilliant design, the headlamps feature LED side turn signals, as well as an Adaptive Front Lighting System6 that uses steering and speed sensors to direct the angle of low-beam illumination as the vehicle enters a curve. The Adaptive Front Lighting System monitors steering and speed with a suite of sensors and will automatically adjust the angle of your low-beam headlights to improve visibility on curved roads. Ultra Luxury extras: 1) 18-inch split-five-spoke alloy noise-reduction wheels 2) Power rear sunshade with manual rear-door sunshades 3) Power open/close trunk with kick sensor 4) 12.3-inch multimedia touchscreen display 10.2-inch Head-Up Display 5) Intuitive Parking Assist with Auto Braking and Rear Pedestrian Detection, and Panoramic View Monitor. Averaging 43+ MPG City/Hwy driving and I had the oil and filter changed at 1,000 miles for my own peace of mind. Just For Reference: I was not going to wait one-year or 10,000 miles to have the factory installed oil & filter changed. And, I shall be changing the Oil (Liqui Moly 0W-16 Spec V) and Toyota filter every 5,000 miles from now on. Like Scotty Kilmer says on CZcams, oil & filters are cheap, engines are expensive. LOL

Have one on order. Even as a self obsessed EV fanatic, I couldn’t deny the value this car brings. It literally is the best/most car you can get for your money - and still economical too. A Lexus that competes with a 5 series, E class & A6 for the price of a 3 series, C class or A4? No brainer.

“That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved.” -Romans 10:9
A luxury car should be a hybrid, full electric, or naturally aspirated v6 or v8. I don’t consider any car with 4 cylinder, especially with a turbo, a luxury car. The problem is that great engines aren’t being improved on anymore. They’re like sedans - Zoomers are sending them away.

“That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved.”

This is all true some might say. The ES tho really does not feel at all like a 4 pot - it really is remarkable.
“That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved.”

@@mikealanzo are you an engineer?
I asked you a very reasonable question...are you an engineer?
@@bengreen1090 It dosen't take an engineer to feel the diff between eCVT and PDK! It's not a rocket sience, but if you want to flash your enginners degree on YT, be my guest.

Mercedes are overpriced .

-Romans 10:9
What in heaven's name does this have to do with a Lexus ES review?
It looks premium, but it lacks a bit of *classiness* that you get in a Mercedes
Its just simplier, but believe me its very luxurious to drive and to sit in.
5 series is still the benchmark,lexus is just a better made camry with exorbitant price
Yes but the bmw is more expensive, at least where I live. Bmw reliability is not in the same class. So it depends on priorities I guess but a solid case can be made for the Lexus being more bang for the buck
Totally bias review. Why don't you just say you have been paid by Lexus for this advert. The Mercedes, BMW and Audi blow this away in every area.
Car brands don't pay creators to make videos with their products on CZcams. Paid advertising on the platform would be marked as "contains paid promotion". Thanks for commenting, your opinion counts just as much Howard's does.
By every area? How old are you Richard? I am asking my self if i should even start this argument with you. Least to say, such a BS claim. Or are you one of these guys who paid 20k more and want to feel it was worth it?
@@ygk6289 Yes, in EVERY are. Lexus ES is a boring, overpriced, slow, dated rebadged Toyota Avalon. You sound like a guy who is mad you can't buy a totally superior German car.
@@ygk6289 You keep posting more and more comments. You sound like you're about to cry. Such a sad little man you are. Lexus sucks! Get over it. They haven't changed a thing in 10 years. I like to enjoy my driving experience and would rather buy an unreliable fun car than an old man box that looks like crap. I don't even think you actually own a Lexus. You totally sound like a Toyota guy dreaming it was a Lexus. Pathetic!
@@richarddawson5836 Hey Richard, guess what? Your Audi A3 is a Skoda Octavia, and your Porsche Cayenne is actually a VW Touareg. Don't pretend that Lexus is the only brand that does this. It's a ridiculous argument and it proves that you have no clue what you're talking about. Have you ever been inside the ES?
Excellent review, thank you
