I love Lexus and the relaxing atmosphere and filling it has! This ES300h is a an amazing luxury car to own at any age! Since a had it, I don’t care about traffic anymore! 😊

It is such a nice and relaxing commuter. Its such an easy car to drive for long drives.

Holy shit, the color grading looks amazing on the static shots! It makes the black paint look so much sharper. Even the rear lights are so beautifully red!

Finally purchased last Sunday the ES 300H Premium base in blue that’s all I need. Dealer gave OTD price $45,753.93.

I think your assessment of the ES300h is pretty accurate. I just purchased a 2004 UL, it's so comfortable , I love driving it. Like you said, it's not underpowered, it merges onto highways and passes with ease. The electric motor produces torque where gas engines don't and the result is plentiful and smooth power whenever it's needed. On a recent trip through West Virginia the car handled the mountain grades with ease.

Thank you for a detailed reviews, you helped me made up my decision for my retirement car.

Thanks for watching. The ES with the hybrid was such a great luxury gas saver.

Was this ES300h the Luxury or the Ultra Luxury model? Beautiful car and an outstanding video. Especially for the Lexus brand. You were very comprehensive and covered everything that a potential buyer would want to know. (Except the model. They come in base, luxury & ultra luxury.) Thanks!

Downshifts on eCVT?

I LOVE that they stuck w/ analog fuel & temperature guages.... I HATE the digital fuel guage that everyone is using now.

What is that thing about when you talk about the auto hold with the brake? The button by the gear shifter that says ev mode and “hold” what is that button and what does it do.

When you’re at a stop sign or red light, the brakes can hold the car from moving so you can take your feet off the pedals and the car won’t move. It works when you push the brake down enough to activate it. The moment you tap the accelerator, it lets go of the brakes and lets you move.

The ev mode is for you to drive back to your garage quietly at night for a very short distance, about 1 km as my experience, and your battery must reach a certain level to use that ev button

I just trade 2022 es300h f sport black for 2024 es300 h ultra luxury, hated the black showed dust, dirt and every mark. It drove me nuts to keep a clean sharp car. Now I have the Pearl white color more clean friendly! I do not like the Mar Levinson sound system to me it sounds tinny the 2022 was better. I liked the split screen in the 2022 my 2024 does not split. All in all it’s a great ride

The black is nice when it’s clean which is so hard to keep clean lol. Lexus’ pearl white is so nice because it has such a crazy sparkle to it. Congrats on the 24 and hope you enjoy it.

How much OTD including tax fees etc ? The dealer that I’ve been offered me OTD $49876.18 for the 2024 Es300H base premium package which should be good enough for my needs. Live here in San Diego, do u think the price offered is just fair or should I ask if they can wiggle the price further down but how much ? Thanks for any response.❤

That's not too bad if it includes tax and fees. Of course I'd have them lower the price a bit more or have them throw in mats or something like that lol. Good luck on your purchase!

No problem. What we did when we bought our car was get a pre approved check from a bank. The dealership presented their rate and we countered with our bank's check. Suddenly they were able to beat the bank's rate which was more than a 3% reduction!

We went to an auto show and any seats that were a tan or brown color like these were blue... I wonder how much it takes to clean them.

Yeah unfortunately it's pretty common when I get press cars with lighter seats. I'm usually a fan of darker interior but sometimes the lighter colors just look so nice like in this ES 300. You'll probably need some kinda of leather cleaner and conditioner. Next press car that has light interior, I'll try my cleaning supplies to see if all it takes is a bit of maintenance. Thanks for watching!

@@Revmatchmedia I just purchased a 2024 ES300h UL in white pearl with acorn/black interior. This darker color is quite classy looking and I think will be more resistant to any color transfer from clothing than the lighter trim colors. Those lighter colors present nicely in pictures but from a practical perspective I think the acorn / black trim ticks all my boxes.

Thanks for watching. It's a shame really because their red and blue for the ES looks incredible. Like they say, this too shall pass, and hoping the dealership/consumer experience starts to move towards favoring consumers.

Good car.... rival for merc e300e, bmw 530e , volvo s60 phev... for reability lexus is leading, for performance bmw 530e leading, for interior/exterior merc e300e leading... up to you to choose depend on what you expect.

No rear seat fold down? Even the BMW 5 series has this. Lexus better remedy this faux pas on the new design!

If you need to put a sedan seat down often, maybe a suv is a better option. I’d take the ES over a 5 series.
