I’m considering pulling the trigger on a 2023 ES 300h. What are your thoughts about these cars being built in Kentucky? As opposed to Japan? It is my understanding that the engine, transmission, and other parts are from Japan though. Thanks
Tbh lexus is one of those brands that retains value so well as people trust buying them even at above 150k km. While people start doubting french at 60k km+ and german above 100k km
My 2017 xle camry has 162k miles on it. $0 cost in maintenance Looks great and runs like a top. I'm looking at these to replace it and if they are anything better than my camry it'll be a homerun and no Brainer .
@obinna12 lol I'm rolling the dice with my camry it runs great why dump it. But my 2022 4 runner will be going away a new Gx460. That is night and day difference.
Thank you for the great content. I have a 2019 ES 300h (my first Lexus Hybrid - coming from a Honda Hybrid). There is a loud noise coming from the brake booster pump every time I open the drivers seat or occasionally while driving. I have wrapped it with sound deadening (heat proof) material since sometimes it is extremely loud. Maybe that's the way it's supposed to function? Funny how I didn't notice that during the test drive and what might be loud for me might not be noticeable to others. Perhaps it's because the car is so quiet that you hear everything (kinda ironic). Thank you!
Hello, am I getting this right: - until facelift: no touchscreen, only touchpad - after facelift as well as the 2022 modell: touchscreen and touchpad - 2023 modell (and onwards): touchscreen, but no touchpad Thank you in advance.
Very little to no cost in ownership for easily over 200k miles. If you want flashy look at me your paying though the nose in up front cost and throughout the ownership life. We buy these cars because they are stylish unbeatable dependability and use our cash for other things that bring in more cash. Real estate, stocks , retirement. Hard to buy these things if your flipping for parts and repairs . Get a certain age you you don't care what others think. You'll get there as well
That's a base model ES 300h so the seats have Perforated NuLuxe, that's not real leather. It's not even an option on the base model. Only the Luxury and Ultra Luxury versions have real leather seats.
Best car there is for the money
Disagreed. I would choose Acura TLX
@@rahimi4762 don't choose crap
I’m just not sure about hybrid system and cvt

My dream Lexus sedan! Amazing job Ben.
Got my 2022 ES300h Luxury. Love it! The pearl white exterior and the brown walnut interior are the best combo. Very quiet. Quite punchy. Great mpg.
Is there a spare tire in the 2022 ES300h?
@@rocksolid1178 Yes, there is under the trunk cover.

@@mercenaryzorek The build is pretty good. Go check one out from the lot and pull the trigger later.
Do you feel it lacks of power when you drive it like going up hills? I’m thinking getting one but 200HP concerns me

Ur asking if a 2023 300h Lexus hybrid is better than ur 2017 camry? Speaking of no brainers…..

Value, Luxury, Comfort, Reliability & Resale value. All boxes checked.
That soft-close mini wood panel to cover the USB port is so Lexus :D Love it.
Great review Ben! That’s definitely my next car. I have a Kia Sorrento hybrid that gets similar mpg. I drive 50,000 a year.

Brake booster might be a recall check in with your dealer.
I will buy one white pearl next month es300h 2023. Here in the Middle East the price is different than the US 63k$.
I like Lexus they are very reliable cars this ES is a great looking car.
Boring tho. Tell Lexus to give Toyota back their car
Good looking silent well perfornance car .........
Thank you Ben & Lexus .........
God bless you ....... !
I'm a Sri Lankan ........
👍🌹❤️🙏
Love the Lexus brand we have a 16 es 300 h at the dealership I work at and everytime I go anywhere I drive it and been wanting to get it
beautiful
Hi
Since it’s the base ES, is it still as quiet as the luxury trim?
Thank you!
Does this take premium gas?
I like the touch pad way better. It just feels 'classier' and is easy to use because the cursor snaps to the icons

@@yvngbucko thank you.
Lexus built the coolest cars putting on the market for people to buy there vehicles
Btw it does have power open/closing trunk with kick sensor so you didn't have to close it manually.
It doesn't unless you add it
So nice except for the cvt
Next week i will got it bro
If you talked 5% slower, people could better understand you! 🤠
Most people only use 10% of their brain😢
Does it sound ghoom ghook like crolla cross like we changed into engine mode instead eco?
is there regen braking on a hybrid
Hi Ben,
Do you think the base model is adequate in terms of comfort and quietness over the Luxury or Ultra Luxury?
Thank you!
No luxury has Double Suspension buffer and double Glass. More comfy and quiet
How about price
Nice 👍 bro i like it
Was there a spare tire in the trunk?
It's a good-looking car, but there are elements in the interior cabin I would like to see redesigned before considering buying one.
Like what?
That pimple😂
es300h has awd too?
No, it doesn't (the hybrid never had AWD for the ES)
the only problem is too slow, the Car is obviously underpowered. I would Sacrafice 5-10 mpg in return for 50 hp more
that's literally es350 lol
44 mpg?? It’s basically a Camry in a tuxedo.
So much more comfier than a camry
AWD ?
Es 250 awd only
No auto start? 😢
It's a hybrid...
Yes you can remotely start through the Lexus app or press the lock button three times to remotely. I think that is what you are asking.
L O V E #Lexus
I don't like that they swapped the touchpad for a touchscreen.
There are more adjectives than "cool."
Tell Lexus to give Toyota their car back 😂
Toyota laughing at you being the best seller !! Lmao get some life

The car is good but so boring
Boring cars typically don't want to visit the workshop either. It's a tradeoff...Otherwise pick a BMW
