Honestly, as much as all the fun cars are, the ES is the car I'd daily commute in forever. I have an 08 and want to upgrade to this one. I've had the 08 since 2011 and its the best car I've ever owned. Comfortable, reliable and as luxurious as you really need for a daily driver.

. Me too. Four years ago I gave mine a face lift , added 20" black and chrome rims, and had the roof and other trim painted gloss black. I want to update so badly, but I don't like the chrome window trim , needs flat bottom steering wheel and sporty carbon fiber interior.

My neighbor has a loaded '23 ES 350 Ultra Luxury. I can't find a single fault with the car. In that price range nothing from Europe in in the same league. And she put a bit over 200k miles on her last one with zero issues.

Absolutely hands-down most thorough review I’ve seen. I’m now going to check out his others. Thank you!

Always a very sensible and concise review on worthwhile cars. Nice!

Excellent Review! Definitely answered every question I had thank you!

Mr. Redline, I have my checklist, and it's not short either. Now, I don't care how you"feel" about the car. Nothing personal, but I just don't care. I want the stats. I want the data, and then I can make my own decisions. Well,you covered every single point/stat that I wanted covered. And that's why I keep coming back, to see more reviews. Outstanding job there, Mr. Redline.

I have a 23 ES350 V6 base trim. Love it. After 8 years with a 2014.5 Camry SE, with a harsh, stiff riding suspension, I knew an F Sport handling trim was not for me.

Nice review! This car is for someone who wants great MPG and comfort over the Camry with the same drivetrain. I see alot of comments about the V6 being more fun, which of course, but that's not who this car is aimed at. I could see older buyers going for this, because they see the Camry as basic and this ES as luxury, and they have the money for a Lexus. And they get a few other nice features.

Had a 2022 ES300h UL(Nov 2021-Nov 2022). Very nice and a great cruiser. The ride and quietness is very good but, it does depend on the road surface! 95% of the time the car was a pleasure. Lexus/Toyota hybrids are the best of the best! Over the year in PA, I averaged 44mpg. Dead on with what it’s rated for. I drove around town 95% of the time and only wished the HV battery would have been bigger to drive more in EV only mode. I switched to an NX450h+ and I’m beyond thrilled. The ability to drive entirely in EV mode(38-42 miles) is amazing. At least for me the NX450h+ is a way better fit for my driving commute. Lexus/Toyota makes amazing hybrid vehicles and it’s finally great to see them selling now like they should have years ago. They only get better and more efficient with each redesign.

Mechanical engineering project manager here. My neighbor has a loaded ES 350 ultra luxury and it so spectacular. For those who have the ES 300 H F sport, I have two question for you. 1 What is your MPG average do you get the actual 44-45 MPG? I like that you can put 87. I love your review very thorough. Side note for a Camry owners coming to the Es, you get 13 gallons which is 1-2 short I believe the Camry gives you 15 gallons. Looks lien that FOB key is funnily one flaw. At least we can access it with a smart phone I like the Iridium silver it’s mixed in with some white Seems like you get 218 HP which i in between the 250 and the 350. I also dig the LED lights The 0-60 8.1 seconds is not horrible but again we don’t expect this to be a sports car. So looks lien it is 3 inches bigger than the Camry and almost the same size minus 4 inches in height. I line the F sport package and same color you are showing my next car. I will get it a few years used to save up and get ultra luxury F sport for slightly under $40,000 I like the big LS and IS that offers more size and the IS offers more Hp but the ES is the perfect middle of the road compromise. Also, I don’t think you need AWD or the 250 but you can get it

Drove one of these 2023 models as a courtesy car a few months back. Honestly I thought compared to my IS3OOh, it felt considerably slower (especially the in-gear acceleration) and handled like a blancmange, but it wasn't the FSport, so there is that... Bugger all driving dynamics compared to the IS. Also, I think it's very poor that they haven't given this car more power now.

Its a luxurious car for old people because its slow and the design isn't aggressive. Otherwise very nice luxurious and reliable sedan.

@@naveenthemachine I do and just did, wrote a $51K check last month on my wife’s Lexus Hybrid SUV. My money and I spend it on whatever I see fit.

No rear view camera mirror, no 360-degree camera view, no massage seats, no pano sunroof, no AWD. But it's considered a luxury car?

Agreed. A dressed up camry isn’t luxury

@@naveenthemachine Naveen, you've already exposed yourself in dozens of previous posts as an embarrassed Camry owner living in your mom's basement. Besides, 360 camera, AWD and pano roof are in fact available on different ES trims.

Great daily driving land-boat. Though wouldn’t opt for f-sport for more comfort vs sport suspension *here before naveenthekoreanmachine touting Korean supremacy

2023 Lexus ES300h Hybrid F-Sport 2.5L Inline-4 2-Electric Motor E-CVT FWD Handling Package Sedan!

Beautiful car but the engine noise is the stuff of nightmares

Good for airport taxi

I think that the new fully loaded for US $ 38 - 40k 2023 Honda Accord Hybrid is better as this car.

I have test driven both Accord and this ES hybrid. Lexus is definitely quieter and softer riding. Is it worth $10k+ more? Depends on the buyer and how much they have in cash.

@@alengreen589 I completely understand your point. The Accord is a great car and value. My point is for some people $10K+ is not a lot of difference. Not bragging here, I just bought a 2024 Lexus NX350H for my wife, $51K OTD in cash. We did not even consider a RAV4 hybrid or Venza or CRV hybrid. We knew these are better value but a $6-8K difference won’t matter much for us. Again, to me it is about net worth and liquidity.

It's a shame the rear seats don't fold down. I wonder why that decision was made.

Not sure why they bother with F-Sport on this car. It's FWD and NO ONE is buying this car to actually drive it. This is the ultimate commuter car, the best Buick GM never built. The E250 version is a cruel joke.

A sport package on a fwd almost 8 second car with a cvt is really..... Dumb

It helps it drive better, doesn’t do anything else. Why is it dumb to have a better riding vehicle. And even though it’s not fast many people have gotten this to 60 under 7 seconds. It’s a luxury hybrid, it’s not meant to go fast.

What this video told me is that Lexus is sticking with it's "winning" formula. Boring, staid, reliable and fuel efficiency. The ES, like many of their models in their line-up, has never been an exciting or fun car to drive. This car screams " senior citizen on the way back to the subdivision after grocery shopping". They don't even attempt to make this fun. But this has worked for them for decades so why change now.

Just my opinion but that interior looks like a after thought don't like it. But that's just me don't like the interior styling or color. Also the fact that everyone wants to keep putting dang cvt transmission in everything is terrible I don't like cvt and don't buy anything with one. Some are ok I guess so no hybrids for me or EVs our country and power grid doesn't need them. But everybody has an opinion and there preference.

It's a spruced up Toyota Camry for much more money
