had a 2014 es300H for a work vehicle a few years back. The best Comfortable car I have ever driven! was it fast? No but I didnt care! work paid for it and it was awesome! ( now work has given us Aurions which are nice but not as nice as the lexus )
@@CarSauce But you were complaining about the Toyota Camry which doesn't make sense as the Camry hybrid and ES300h drives the same but the Lexus has better materials as well as better build quality.
We have a Lexus UX. We had to nominate the base "Luxury" model to avoid the stupid Sport gimmicks. I don't understand why Lexus bothers with any sporty pretense when there are so many better cars for that out there. The sport settings are stupid and whoever thought piping fake engine noises in to cover up the CVT is a straight up idiot! A Lexus is supposed to be refined, silent, smooth and they are in Luxury trim. If you are considering any Lexus, do yourself a favour and try a Luxury trim along side the F Sport. The F Sport is a clown car in comparison, right down to the big corny F on the steering wheel. For every car in the range there is a Luxury model lurking underneath, all add ons are just marketing junk that detracts from the true essence of what Lexus is; indulgence. If you feel the need for the F Sport just get a Maloo ute or something. It will run rings around the Lexus. Having said that, there is vacant place in my shed for a LC500 for when the economy crashes and their value declines to fair value. Because it is a great sports car? Don't be daft; because it is beautiful and it is a Lexus so won't just fall apart sitting there.
@@billybob1511 well, it sounds crazy. The ES300h has not much in common with the Everest at all! I'm looking for a safe vehicle. Not just ANCAP safe (like the Lexus here). I consider, without expertise, that a body on ladder frame vehicle that has a 5 star 2022 ANCAP rating (all those safety systems that are required to get a 5 star in 2022) will be safer than a monocoque build. What do you think?
Great video, the ES is a quality car! It is funny, the ES is almost a flop in the UK next to the 5 series and A6's. I do really like the clock, I test drove a F sport for my channel not that long ago.
I hope you know it’s not technically a “cvt transmission” in a traditional sense. They only share the actual letters as “cvt” but it’s completely not the same thing.
Crazy, in the UK the market is dominated by JLR products vs a Lexus. You will probably see more Lamborghini's than Lexus on UK roads. I think Lexus sold 10 LS models in 2021.
The Camry SL Hybrid has come a long way, and it's a pretty hard sell for almost double the price I think. It does sell well to fleets for chauffeured cars as it's a big, luxurious car and pretty frugal on fuel for its size
Not sure what the price is of the ES in the video, but while the Camry hybrid SL is really nice to drive, for $50k I think the interior is pretty boring grey Japanese business-like. The interior with the wood of the lexus is on another planet.
@@Vikturus22 Cvts have one infinite gear, but with the help of the computer they get divided into smaller "gears" that are "simulated". Basically, Faked gears... And, Paddle shifters gives the driver a more engaging driving experience. And it gives you that option to squeeze out a little more performance by building rpm. It's mainly the option for enthusiastic drivers.
Oh Matt, where is your cardigan? The door bins don't need to take young buck Jacob's big water bottle, people who buy these don't want a big water bottle as it just means another bathroom stop on the way to see the grandies. Did you find somewhere to store the nursing home parking permit and the tissues to wipe up the dribble?

Solid downgrade there 😭

“Pooing in my pants” 😂 crossing sourcy corners
Hell yeah! I´ve got mine last year and didn´t regret my choice. Good looking, comfy and not often to see the same car on the road :)
Nice review Matt. You should try and get hold of the Hyundai Sonata N line to review. I just bought one and it’s great ride and value for money.
Love your videos mate. Just discovered your channel; been Bing watching
same here
I'd upgrade my Camry hybrid SL for this, based on the interior alone. Also the JBL sound is just average on the Camry too.

Oh I have the SC 430 and I can't wait to get a LC 500!
@@CarsofGlasgow You go mate!
LC500 is not a sports car it's a luxury GT for long trips and refined travelling
Great review! If the Ford Everest has dodgy quality issues I reckon you've sold me a Lexus
Fingers crossed the Everest is solid!
Which Lexus will you go for instead of the new Everest?

@@MeasureOnceHow's the ES been fir you fella?
c3557 lead times are ridiculous for Lexus. I went with a Genesis GV70 and am really happy I did. 4k into it now and very happy

yeah isn't it more an E-cvt?
And its that comfy without aluminum suspension arms no german can be at the same level of comfort with a similar underbody structure
Nice video
Is this car still made in Japan? Isn’t it finally assembled in Kentucky?
RHD models are thankfully made in Japan
@@JW-sm5hv phew
Kentucky fried cars from Lexus? Ew.
Only the US market gets the US made Lexus cars.
The rest of the world from Japan
love the ES hybrids, so smooth
Why it's so successful??? Because it's a LEXUS..... yeah, the sales volume Range Rover or Jaguar can only drool over..

Looks KING in RED (dark cars are boring)
100%. Since when is red a "grandpa" color as they said..?
@@ThatBigCactus I am still not a "grandpa" 😄

I dont understand and hope someone can explain, Why does it have paddle shifters when it is a CVT?
It's to "offer the driver more control over the car".
@@matthewalexis but its a cvt. The cvt doesnt have actual gears…
@@Vikturus22 Cvts have one infinite gear, but with the help of the computer they get divided into smaller "gears" that are "simulated".
Basically, Faked gears... And, Paddle shifters gives the driver a more engaging driving experience. And it gives you that option to squeeze out a little more performance by building rpm. It's mainly the option for enthusiastic drivers.
@@matthewalexis so basically because gearbox is crap they want people to not know that and put fake shifts? Good to know
@@Vikturus22 If you already had your mind made up, why ask?

Nice to drive
But no soul
dude ain't funny, and I'm wasting time here
Too much sauce and not so much car......🙄
This guy I deduce is high on something. Very noisy giggly a turn off. Cheers
FIST ME 😬
Worst review ever, always great to start coughing during the review.
Too shouty
Nice car, ugly grill.
Camry with a Lexus badge. Great….
I like it, the Camry was cancelled from UK shores not that long ago
Because it’s a Camry in a skirt.
Actually it’s an Avalon
