![]() Lexus loads this F Sport model with a gorgeous black and bright white leather interior, the seats being white with black trim, and the doors having white panels with black tops that blend well with the dash. Of course, the interior is quiet, both because this is a hybrid running on electric battery power when started and at speeds below 20 mph or when cruising, but also because there’s sufficient sound deadening to knock down the typical road noise from wind and pavement. But it’s a touchscreen that’s easy to adjust and use even as one drives. Now the screen is large at 12.3 inches in this F Sport model, part of a $1,030 option package. Gone is the icky touchpad that used to frustrate folks tuning the radio or trying to find info on the infotainment screen. Yet it’s the ES300’s interior that delivers the full luxury experience in form, feel and function. While I’m no fan of the giant grille and logo which all luxury makes now employ, Lexus designers have made their designs work because the hood’s creases and meld with the lights’ design. That starts outside where the ES300h’s lightning bolt style lights are perfectly matched to the hood and grille’s design. Not really needed as there’s no high reach required to close the trunk, but hey, Lexus delivers a luxury experience. ![]() That’s not just a power release, this trunk lid powers up like an SUV or crossover hatch. The handling is light and easy and fairly responsive too with not much play in the steering wheel.Īnd, like any family sedan, there’s room for five adults with oodles of rear legroom and then a big trunk in back with a power lid ($550 extra). All that and this was a sport-tuned F Sport model. The ride is superior, well damped by the suspension system here and comfortable even over the roughest roads. Sport and Sport+ give the front-drive sedan a bit more oomph when slipping away from a stop.īut mainly the ES simply feels cushioned, quiet and capable. You can perk it up some by opting to use two of the five drive modes. But the delivery is smooth, steady and stealthy quiet. ![]() The power is typically modest, just 215 horses and a torque rating of 163. Think Prius, but then the system moved upstream hence the Lexus luxury model. That means a 2.5-liter I4 gas engine paired with a hybrid system, which the carmaker has been fine tuning now for 20+ years. ES300h is a sedan with a hybrid powerplant. Simply message the Mods with some kind of proof to have this applied.First, it’s a wonder that any car maker is making cars these days, but Toyota and Lexus still do. ![]() If you work at a Lexus dealership or have an affiliation with Lexus, please contact us for an Official Lexus flair.If you feel any of these rules has been Violated, please message the Moderators.If your submission contains links to external sites selling cars or car parts, it will be removed.Be nice, no matter what the other car looks like.The brand reputation grew quickly until, barely a dozen years after its founding, Lexus became America's best-selling line of luxury motor vehicles. r/Lexus is a place to post Pictures of your own Ride, find News, get Help and also for general discussion on anything Lexus!
