2020 Lexus ES300h | Superior to The V6

Автокөліктер мен көлік құралдары

We review the new 2020 Lexus ES300h Hybrid which is a follow up to our ES350 video. This is the first time where an entry-level luxury car is so refined the Hybrid version makes more sense than the V6. The ES like many other Lexus products is trying to become more original and less conservative. However, the top choice in sedans is still the BMW 3 Series and Audi A3. We do our best to explain the good and bad of the car.

    @@AI-qd4vb "Arguably stiffer than anything Toyota has ever put in that class." I suspect this comment may have been true of Toyota/Lexus pre-2018, but the new chassis on the current ES is a huge upgrade in stiffness, augmented by 65 feet of structural adhesive and 120 laser screw welds (which can be placed closer together than old-school linear weld points). The result was a car so solid that Wall Street Journal tester Dan Neil specifically called out that trait, speculating that Lexus probably overspent to over-engineer the car because of its pivotal role as the first ES marketed in the prestige-critical home market of Japan. Give one a drive over the rough stuff.

    For those that dont get it, you cant cross shop an ES with a BMW 3/4 series or Audi a3'a4 or even a5. It is a massive vehicle, bigger than a 5 series, smaller than a 7 series, and bigger than an audi a6. That is why the IS and the ES are similar in price, your choice is size/drive train. IS is smaller, rear wheel drive, and aims at the 3 series directly (although it isnt very competitive because its down on things like trunk space and power) but the ES is a front wheel drive giant ocean liner. Nothing in the german market can come close to it as far as size/$. 45 grand for a tiny almost toy like a3 vs a proper battle ship? its your preference, do you want to drop money on a small but fun car that has the luxury too, or drop it on the most refined cruiser in its price bracket. The hybrid vs regular, its up to you. I would take the regular v6 as it is very quick and still gets good gas mileage. If you are worried about toyotas hybrid system, my friend bought a 06 highlander hybrid in 2020...It runs like new.

    Daniel G - If your solely basing your decision on pricing around $45-50k, than yes, you’re limiting yourself if you want a larger luxury cruiser. I was actually in the market for a new car last year since I crashed my 2013 Avalon Limited, and you are right the 19/20 ES is large. It actually uses same platform as the Avalon, so I know the size very well. And so when I needed a replacement, I wanted a larger car, so I looked at BMW 540i, Audi A6 Prestige, and the 2019 ES Ultra Luxury. (I cared more about comparable SIZE and not pricing). LOVED this ES for its quietness and refinement. Drove an ES with the optional noise-cancelling wheels, double-pane acoustics glass and sound deadening underbody. So if you’re into comfort, serenity, and complete reliability, you can’t go wrong with this car. And for the money, you get A LOT more with the Lexus. The Lexus was $49k fully loaded with all options, vs $67k for Audi and $75k for BMW. For my story, I really loved the ES but ended up with the Audi A6 only b/c *Audi had a much better overall safety technology package.* A few things which the Germans do A LOT better Lexus right now is their radar detection and autonomous drive modes. Lexus’ Lane Keep Assist and Dynamic Cruise Control is kind of a joke. The DCC is way too jerky in stop/go traffic and the distance kept is way too far. And Lexus Blind Spot Monitoring is okay but only works when cars are actually IN your blind spot, while Audi can even detect Fast approaching cars further away and actually will warn you based on your car’s speed _relative to the approaching car’s speed._ Now that’s much more advanced technology Lexus needs to catch up on. 3D camera on Lexus looks low res compared to the camera on the Audi. Of course with all the technology, it’s not surprising I spent nearly $20k more than the Lexus.

    I agree with you but I,m not a big fan of speed. Mpg and the refinement of toyota,s hybrid system is what I,ll go for. So I,ll take the hybrid over the v6. The v6 is fast and has good mileage though, so if your,re someone that,s into speed, you can't go wrong with the v6. That,s just not my thing. The rumour is that the next Lexus IS and Lexus RC will come with the skyactiv x engine from mazda along with mazda,s own mazda 6. All with rear wheel drive. And german luxury vehicles have always had issues with their electronics. It,s well known. And they generally cost a lot maintain. But then again, german luxury brands seem to be for 2 kinds of people 1) rich people who don't mind burning money on maintenance costs 2) people who like the status of driving a german car brand Lexus as a whole on the other hand seem to be geared not towards the rich but towards the upper middle class with very little maintenance cost, they seem to not put all the technology in it to make it affordable because it will cost like 20,000 dollars more, although the upcoming lexus LQ will be a model geared towards the rich.

    Carl Eze I would like to agree with most your statements but can also add after working for the Europeans and currently working for Lexus and reviewing them that Europeans are special in how they drive. Meaning how they feel on the road for grip and performance and some people prefer that. The Lexus in reliability and overall build quality is superior definitely but the only thing is that sometimes misses the excitement and thrill of driving 👌👌.

Lexus really hit a home run with the redesign. It's quieter, smoother, and has a far nicer interior - and the outside is better looking too. Overall I love it.

I had to fly to northern ca to get the ultra luxury in pearl white. I do love this car. I get 45 mpg as advertised. In awful traffic i get 50mpg because of the slower driving speeds allowing more ev mode use. The Mark Levinson sounds great. It doesnt distort. 2 features that i dont really use often are the HUD and electronic rear sunscreen, but they're cool to have. I also have the triple beam lights, an expensive upgrade but worth it. They have the added functionality of turning to illuminate the road ahead when you're making a left or right hand turn. I can say lots about this car, but dont want to write a super long comment.

    By the way, the bamboo trim on the dash is real wood, but it's glued on to stripe of plastic. I assume that is a quite common way (at least in this car price level) to do this in order to be able to snap the piece of trim on its place. Despite this "misleading comment" on the video, I like your videos a lot. Thanks again!

    No doubt that the ES is one of the most reliable new cars on sale today but it's a shame that they shifted production for NA models to Kentucky in 2016, whereas they used to be made exclusively in Japan. The RX is made in Canada and has stood the test of time, but I'm skeptical about American manufacturing standards.

    Great review. I am "the demographic" for this car. Love the levinson audio, thanks so much for publishing a real audio test! Amazing performance. RTs always impressive in a small cushy cabin, but great to see it measured on paper. My wife's Harmon branded X3 sounds great too. My e90 standard radio not so much. Love the luxury and quiet of this, but I would miss the N52 engine and handling of my e90. Maybe when I hit 60yo... Thanks for great review!! Been hoping you would review a nice car again. ;)

    I sat in this car at the autoshow in February 2020. I must say it was so nice and roomy inside for a tall person. It made me feel 'special' sitting inside it, like I finally arrived if I owned one. You know this car is a great car when airports are using it as limousine fleet cars in the hybrid version. A testament to its reliability and performance. It was easy to fall in love with this car. It stood out from everything else in the luxury sedan category by far and at an amazingly affordable price point fully loaded.

    I've got a 2014 ES300H, I test drove a 2014 ES350 before I bought it and I prefer the hybrid. It's quieter, smoother due to no shifts and less nvh, no delay from waiting for a downshift and really has plenty of power and response from the electric torque. I put 300 miles a day on it and absolutely love it.

I got it because it's comfortable, it's quiet, it's great on fuel and I feel at peace with myself when I drive it. That ladies and gentlemen is why you get an ES hybrid.

    I have a 2013 es300h, and even though it’s the slowest car I’ve ever owned, I LOVE it. Comfortable and for long trips, still gets 35mpg combined on 10 year old batteries. 40mpg if in the low country like South Carolina. I love the wheel navigation it has for the UI. I’ve memorized where it needs to up down left or right to get to where I need to go without looking at the screen because it has tactile feed back when you’re moving the wheel.

    After my wife's 250h was totalled by a hit-and-run driver earlier this year, we picked up an off-lease 2018 ES300h. This was before used prices became silly, so we were able to pick the car up for about half the price of a new one. I was thrilled that we were able to source one with the Mark Levinson sound system, because it is divine sounding. I was also pleased that the car has a nice iPod interface, so I can have all my music along with me on long road trips. Other than that, it is a super comfortable, super quiet luxurious sedan with unbelievable gas mileage that's perfect for long road trips. Me, personally, I prefer more sporty vehicles, so I'm sticking with my 6-Speed Manual Acura TSX, but my wife loves this car and it does make for very pleasant vacation road trips.

    I currently drive a 2016 GS350 F-Sport & have driven both versions of the ES as loaner vehicles while my car was being serviced. First drove the ES350 which I didn't like since it had too much power for a 300 + HP FWD vehicle. Then I drove the ES300h which I like it more than I thought I would & much more than the 350. It was also the first hybrid I've ever driven. It had good power & showed it was averaging nearly 50 MPG. I'm sticking with my GS for now since I just bought the car two years ago, but my future vehicle will for sure be a hybrid or electric.
