AUTOBAHN DRIVE
The German Autobahn has no speed limit but you should not race on it! Obey the rules and respect other drivers. Driven by an experienced Driver
I drove this car between Freiburg and Frankfurt. This car was better than my german car on our autobahns. it was very safe and stable.
You car ?
@@teomantugcu6192
it was not my car.
I drive a 2024 E class as daily.
the Lexus ES was a friend's car.

Ich fahre den ES 300h und kann nur das Beste schreiben.
Er ist besser als jeder Deutscher,vor allem sehr,sehr
Sparsam wenn man ihn mit
Köpfchen bewegt und die
Technik Sinnvoll nutzt.
Im Alltag schaffe ich glatte
4 Liter,Landstraße 3,4 Liter,
Autobahn 4,8-5,2 Liter.
Das Sahnestück ist der super
geschmeidige Fahrkomfort und die Ruhe im Inneren.
In dieser Klasse gibt es nichts
besseres.
Ja wenn du mit 100kmh voran Schleichst
@@ekimandersom4478 Nein,
Wie beschrieben einfach mit
Verstand fahren.
Ich interessiere mich für das Auto, aber muss sagen das ich sehr große Bedenken mti der Haltbarkeit des Motors habe wenn ich sehe das er wie hier zu sehen, immer an und aus geht, quasie kalt angeht, kurz auf 4-6K hochdreht und dann einfach wieder ausgeht, nur um 500 Meter weiter wieder anzugehen. Lexus ist bekannt für Stabile autos und motoren, aber das gibt mir dann doch zu denken.
@@tesoterik2741 Keine Sorge
Alles funktioniert Zuverlässig.

I really enjoy comments like “my 15 years old crap can go 200kmh so it’s definitely better than this Lexus because top speed that i achieve once per year with fear in my eyes is the only criterium that makes cars good”..
For those who don’t know about ECVT and confused about the top speed , it’s actually a physical limit, since it’s a E CVT, it doesn’t have a traditional gear box, it utilizes 2 electric motors and a planetary gear box to mimic a 6 speed transmission, but the RPM of the motor has a limit, so the top speed is limited at 190 km
Why Lexus IS 300h with the same engine and e-cvt gearbox has 205 km/h max speed?
@@xonic5025 the top speed is still pretty low compared to the normal transmission though
@@Hamsterz380 Lexus GS 450h, top speed 250 km/h with e-cvt transmission.
@@xonic5025 different settings though
@@xonic5025
Is that accurate?
That's equal to 155 mph.
I'd buy that.
it is an e-cvt. never cvt. Do not mix. very different. not the gearbox. no clutch. There is no damper. There is no torque converter. indefectible. No error. seamlessly. It can travel millions of kilometers.
❤❤
So slow
It's a CVT 100%
@@MrZennerd e-cvt (differ from cvt) very reliable.
@@hishamilmalik114 I know how reliable they are.( i drive a Lexus RC 300h)
But this has nothing to do with the fact that the transmission in a Toyota/Lexus hybrid is a CVT or not.
So the transmission in a Toyota/Lexus hybrid is definitely a CVT.
Please allow me to explain. The most common mistake people make in the "CVT debate" is that they misinterpret the term CVT.
The term CVT has nothing to do with the architecture or how the transmission works but what she does. In other words: CVT is the RESULT
of how a transmission works. I will clarify this with 2 examples:
First example:
The transmission with 2 pulleys and a belt (AKA the traditional CVT)
In short: the most common type of a CVT uses a V-belt witch runs between two pulleys, the cone-shaped halfes of the pulleys can move together and apart.
So that is how the transmission is built and how she works and the RESULT of that is a transmission with no fixed gears or steps but instead of that
a transmission with a variable gear ratio or CVT.
Second example:
Toyota/Lexus Hybrid Synergy Drive (AKA eCVT)
Very short : this transmission uses a complex planetary gear system with 2 electric motors- generators (MG 1 & MG 2)
integrated. The mechanical gearing design of the system allow the mechanical power from the ICE to be split in 3 ways:
- Extra torque at the wheels under constant rotation speed.
- Extra rotation speed at the wheels under constant torque
- Power for an electric generator.
Now that is the architecture of the system and how it works and it's completely different from the one in the first example with the 2 pulleys, you can't
even compare them.
But the RESULT is exactly the same: a transmission with a variable gear ratio or CVT( Continuous Variable Transmission).
CVT's are used in many vehicles even in bicycles ( NuVinci hub). And of course a CVT of a bicycle works totally different than a CVT of a car, but the
RESULT is, again , exactly the same: a transmission with a variable gear ratio or CVT.
Conclusion:
Every eCVT is a CVT but not every CVT is an eCVT.
So CVT is just a collective name for transmissions with a variable gear ratio.
I have this car. I might choose something different if I drove like you everyday... Thankfully I'm not in such a hurry and kick back and relax and drive as if I'm not in a race with anyone. I'm enjoying my life and the luxury of that car is hard to beat while getting 40 mpg
Is it very loud on the expressway?
@jben212 super quiet actually.
Love this car. Looking to buy one in near future.
Ich finde es gut, dass du auch mal diese Lücke der innovativen Antriebe zeigst. Ich weiß, dass jeder seinem 1.9er TDI hinterherweint, aber außerhalb Europas wird Diesel nahezu ausschließlich für Güterverkehr genutzt. Genauso ist eine Geschwindigkeit größer 150kmh für 99,88% der Fahrer irrelevant. Ich kann es echt nicht mehr hören. Schreibe ja auch nicht unter jeden Porsche, dass mir das Auto zu viel verbraucht und der Preis zu hoch ist...
While I've enjoyed having this car for the past two months, the Sonic Titanium color, while stylish, doesn't quite capture the essence of a highway cruiser. It feels more at home in the city. In that regard, I would say that a BMW 520i might be a more suitable choice for someone who prioritizes highway cruising.
Hybrids aren’t designed to go that fast. It’s like speeding in a B52 and expecting B1 performance
Why? I'm thinking this for 4-hour highway trips in California (max speed 85mph). I want comfortable, quiet and (preferably), good mpgs.
Love to see a car similar to mine actually being able to stretch its legs. where I live 150km/h is as fast as you can go because of the poor road condition(on the expressway). 100 km/h is the most comfortable speed to cruise in then again that is the speed limit.
It's better than I expected.
I have the es 350, although not great on gas it's better in every way compared to the 300h. I test drove both, the es 300h is buzzy, whiney and loud when you floor it. It's a perfect car for boring drives and local errands. It's gutless compared to the es 350.
Too bad they only sell the hybrid in Europe.
It’s really nice you can go really fast on the Autobahn, but you’ll definitely pay for it in gas, more than double the gas for this hybrid. I wish we had high-speed areas here in the United States. There’s a lot of Midwest states that are really flat and straight highways, and you can only go 70 to 80 mph, so it seems like it can take forever to get through these stretches.
The left hand at 3:30min says everything.
That car not for Germany 100%,but for my Country Finland this car PERFECT!
Näin se mennee 😊
Mul on tommonen suomessa
Nah bro its good for germany. 180km/h is enough. I live in Germany the autobahn is Most of the time full where i live and often limited 120
This car is not for Autobahn. Is for motorway speed up to 150-160km/h.
Top Speed : 191 km/h, 118.68 miles/h
Shockingly slow. Showstopper, BMW M340 is now looking like a better choice.
@@ArmadilloGodzillaShockingly moronic comment
@@ArmadilloGodzilla Rides more uncomfortably though welp.
how is the noise in the cabin at higher speeds? is it as quiet inside as audi and merc?
Yes
If you can, please test ES350 with V6, i like it so much better
do they even sell these in Germany?
@@bokebryant3985 honestly I am not sure. I am in the US. They might not in Germany in Germany I guess 😥
@@eduardsvystun9331Lexus only sells Hybrids in europe (LC500 and RC F are the only only gas powered cars sold in europe)
Not available outside the US
@@ekimandersom4478 sad
I surely hope those tires are rated for that speed. Being a hybrid, they usually put eco tires, which are not that good for high speed.
Is this the base, luxury or ultra luxury trim?
We don’t have tjose trims in Europe, also the European version is build in Japan .
I think it is Style or Busniess Edition..over them you have in Germany F-Sport and Luxury line
@@kemalmerdanovic7759Nope F sport is discontinued
This one has mark Levinson so it should be ultra lux version.
can you do ES350 fsport?
Doesn’t exist in Europe
Pleae test avalon 2013 - 2018 model 3.5 v6
not sold in EU
@@beastlysun why?
@@ballakiIn Germany people don't like sedans. They always preferred station wagons and now it's shifting to CUVs and SUVs
I believe that's about 130 mph or 209 kmh.
I own a is250 and I'm in to this es300h or is300h
Comfortable cruiser.. a proper GT car
yes its really comfortable car
What that noise is? Is it really premium with this nosie? :/
that is Japanese premium, revving it till the limiter at 6000 rpm.
No better than Mercedes❤
Ein KfZ für die Ewigkeit. Sicherlich sehr zuverlässig.
How stable/ settled does it feel at top speed?
Very good
Feels like 110 while cruising at 190
It's excellent
Too bad Lexus doesn't make more models and more modern, exciting ones ( like mercedes, bmw...). because the quality and readability is superb, far better than any german cars....
They make. But not for the European market.
@ which one?
@@rockinsergio4969 Same models with more engines and transmissions.
They make an ES 350 V6 non Hybrid naturally aspirated for the US market, which is much better.
the top speed is 190 or you un floor the gas padel at that speed?
Its limited at 191 kmh. You cant go faster than 191 kmh even floor the pedal
thanks man. another question is do paddle shifters really do something? because is a CVT. is it really helpful to use those?@@TESTDRIVEFREAK
@@TESTDRIVEFREAKShockingly slow.
@@ArmadilloGodzillado u know meaning of limited?
@@Tosabangactually it’s a physical limit, since it’s a E CVT, it doesn’t have a gear box, it utilizes 2 electric motors and a planetary gear box to mimic a 6 speed transmission, but the RPM of the motor has a limit, so the top speed is limited at 190 km
Engine sounds pretty gruff....😅
Naturally aspirated 2.5 4 cylinder is definitely too small for this type of car. Very gruff sound on acceleration.
@@helldogbe4077 it's the engine itself... There are smoother sounding 4 cylinders.... From Honda especially :)
This gearbox noice is tragedy 🤦♂️
Каробка ужасная, звук пробуксовки сцепления , а ускорения нет! Спасибо!
В коробке ES300h нет сцепления
dude why do you only test the crappy hybrid ones?
at rental car company offer such mostly these cars in europe... sadly, sometimes we test also strong and powerful cars
They are not crappy at all and its likely because Lexus probably sells this car in Europe only with hybrid powertrain.
44mpg on regular unleaded (87). Not a typical Merc or BMW 22mpg on premium fuel.
@@mattclark1278 Great car to cruise at. I drive one 6-9 hours at a time and never feel tired or sore after. The MPG is also nice.
vw 1.6 tdi with 2x lower h.p, 2x lower consumption has bigger max speed than much expensive luxury sedan
Don't get the Lexus/Toyota cult going after you :))). You will regret
The diesel engine sounds horrible. You dont get the same refinement thats the problem with a diesel.
but most vw cars are not so comfortable for long trip like lexus ES.
@@TESTDRIVEFREAKbut they are much better at just crusing on the autobahn, and A6, the competitor from vag of the ES, is so much better to handle and at comfort on the highway
@@victorc.979 Almost every part of the A6 will break within a few years. It's INCREDIBLY unreliable.
max speed lover then cars with 100hp and this junk costs as audi a6 or bmw 5 mercedes e class
awful....looks like driving with a totally worn clutch, with these high revs. And not really fast, certainly not for 218 bhp.
Fabia 1.0 TSI goes >200km/h
Ye enjoy zero comfort in shit Fabia 1.0 :D
Fabia It's 💩
Fabia is crap. Especially with those tiny 3 cylinder turbo crap... And no comfort at all. Mazda did it better with their small cars bc they don't build these crap 3 cylinders and even better it's naturally aspirated means no turbo. You don't how a Hybrid from Toyota/Lexus works...
Жахливе авто для траси. Будь-який розгін =5 тис обертів. Любий passat 1,6 tdi їде краще.
Дякую за відео.
У мене така ж тільки ES350 з 3.5 літровим мотором і вона в рази краща в цьому плані. Правда, якщо їздити на автобані, то максимальна швидкість сильно обмежена- тільки 215км на годину
Maximum speed 191 km/h
I have a feeling that you didnt quite comprehend how this car is supposed to drive, all you did is bully the car to get “speed”. I didnt learn anything about how this car drives, because nobody drives this car like a maniac in a video game. Makes this video pointless in my opinion, very hard to watch
I have a feeling that you didn't read the video title before watching the video that contains the title 'Topspeed.' After watching the video, you wrote a pointless comment. It's normal for everyday traffic on the German autobahn to drive mostly over 160 km/h, with some even reaching speeds over 200 km/h. We test every car's top speed and create other videos with city POV footage, as well as fuel consumption resets, to show viewers how much fuel the car consumes in city driving or at high speeds on the autobahn.
@@TESTDRIVEFREAK I stand corrected. Although I still agree that this video is pain to watch (mostly because of a car unfit to drive this way, even though driving most other cars like this would be a disgrace). Still didnt learn anything other than the car becomes extremely noisy at top speed.
I watched some other of your videos not torturing cars and driving like a maniac, they are much better.
Actually this is how many people drive in Germany
@@iron_b0olthe isn’t driving like a maniac in my opinion. In Germany this way of driving is kinda normal / not rare (except him overtaking on the right lane). I found him driving this way even smoothly. (I’m driving 200+ km/h on Autobahn as well,if circumstances allow to do so.)
@@ekimandersom4478 My auto lane change assist on my X50e tells me German drivers drive like maniacs lol
Ta skrzynia to jakiś dramat

A jak się depnie to od razu na 6, nie trzeba czekać.
lol, 50000€ or more for 180km/h ..... my 14 year old Lexus Hybrid does 200km/h; Lexus lost its path !
Topspeed is irrelevant
