I take comfort over handling every time.
Furthermore... as long as the car is stable on the road then I consider that a good handling car. Oh and comfort is also important too but I like a bit of firmness to it.
It's possible to have both...the Germans do it well, without their sport suspensions
@Richard Favreau why??? Other than being smart with cash. Why would you pick a cheap pure plastic car that's thinly insulated, screams bare basics interior and trim.
@Richard Favreau might be an age thing. Carolla the newer one does look like a baby Avalon. But again my friend works at yota, and I've checked them out. Very popular and freaking bullet proof. But feel way too small still and lack of power. My camry xle has the same of these features as shown on this car review, and I think that's about as small as I'd go, even with the anemic 4 cyl
People need to understand that a Lexus hybrid is a luxury car. Not a sports car.
Very underrated car, in my opinion
It isn't the most exciting one, but damn is it comfortable, reliable, spacious, easy to use, safe, and it isn't overpriced unlike german competitors. And of course, lexus reliability which can allow you to have it for a longer period of time, and helps with resale value
And the v6 in non hybrid one, is so fcking smooth:)
This usea thr same 4-cylinder feom the RAV4 hybrid that is courae and noisy.
Norm T it’s the same powertrain in the camry hybrid as well. It’s coarse in the RAV because of less sound dampening, but quiet in the Lexus.
Lexus 5.0L = 470hp
Mercedes 5.0L = 570hp
lmao at korean engineering
Illyrian Gamer Lexus is Japanese not Korean.

Great review as usual guys!!! That acceleration run was golden!!! Three dudes, a mile above sea level and it still pulled hard!!!
Side note, I wish Lexus will give this new ES some good attention to help fill the gap left by the GS (R.I.P.)
I agree. The F sport trim is stunning to look at in person.
Love our blue ES300h! It’s our daily ride... so smooth and comfy!
They’re ridiculously smooth and comfy! Just reviewed it and compared it to the 2015 and so much better!
I drive a 2014 es300h with 210,803 miles. One of the best cars I have driven. It is quick, comfortable and reliable
That’s next level miles 😂 if you’re curious if you should upgrade I made a video on the 2015 vs the 2021 😃
i’m 23 and definitely not the target audience for an ES but it’s honestly my favorite Lexus
Get a used one. They ride really nice and smooth. Very reliable and low maintenance. About to get a 2015 ES 250 in the coming days.
People will always point out the performance numbers, spec sheets and space of camrys and avalons are very similar if not outright the same as the lexus. However, the camry does NOT ride the same as the Lexus, nor is the transmission the same; camrys tend to use cvts as opposed to lexus using traditional automatic gearboxes
@Richard Favreau I actually forgot that newer camrys reverted back to traditional automatics. Some older ones do use cvts though. Also, I forgot to mention that it's the es series that continues to use traditional automatics, not all lexus models.

@@SeanLiu4 reverted, not reverted back.
@@SeanLiu4 I literally just done a review on the 2015 vs the 2021 and other than sharing the same badge, such different cars!
I'm amazed and happy that all the TFL channels keep the family and local vibe going in every single video. Just awesome!
So happy for you guys getting a snowstorm. Us in Cali are doin great with our firestorms and ashstorms. 😋
And our 110 degree days right now in So Cal. Man snow sounds like the lottery right now. Lol
Best car manufacturer ever.... simply put.Comfort, some sporty driving, and great reliability. ,
So true! I love reviewing them 👌👌
Should have a TFL channel called Roman Rants!!! Watching Roman get mad about the marketing thing ystrday...that was AWESOME Roman!!😁
It is true. I had one of these for a day while our SC430 went in for airbag recall. Quiet, comfortable, good power. Just as important, everything in the interior was just top quality. I learned how to use the track pad in 10 minutes.
I don’t know why people always complain about them ahha!!! They’re not that hard to use 😂
Lexus for life and you both do a great job ! 😀
Lexus 5.0L = 470hp
Mercedes 5.0L = 570hp
lmao at chinese engineering
Lexus really should’ve released an ES 300h e-awd instead of the ES250 awd, would’ve been perfect.
Exactly such a shame especially when you know that the Camry Hybrid is AWD
Many of us know the father(mom)/son(daughter) bond can be close. I'm loving the Roman-Tommy team. There's no better at TFL. Someone needs to make a 6.2" Roman figure to represent whatever!
Yes, I vote Nathan to bring us the 6.2" Roman with 1" of hair!
Good morning 🌻 Roman and Tommy...Snow in September?? Must be cold in Boulder this morning.
I AM SORRY. LOOK AT THE SCREEN. READ THE SCREEN. DON'T BLAME THE CAR. READ THE SCREEN. It says, very clearly, "Find a nearby." Why, oh why, oh why, oh why, must YOU always IGNORE the instructions that EVERY car gives you? You need to press the "talk" button, wait for the beep, then say "Find Snarf's." THAT IS ALL YOU NEED TO DO. Just read the instructions it gives you. The CAR doesn't fail -- YOU fail. I'm generally very happy with your videos, but FOR THE LOVE OF GOD, could you PLEASE read the instructions -- just once -- instead of blaming the car?
Love how Roman kept holding down the power button like an engine was supposed to start or something haha. Nice review guys :)
Tommy - "Why are you calling it dude?" hahahaha!!!
Tommy you've got style, sporting those yellow/orange skinny jeans!
Gotta say the orange pants are amazing.
*We've got so many fires here in the West I would take snow over burning up!*
They have fires in Colorado as well!
Pray to Allah for that. Know God, who is worthy of worship and to ask help. Anybody who associate partners to God is very dangerous.
Watch Ahmed Deedat debate
God's punishing America for what they're doing to black people.
@@nellatl good grief

+30 points for lots of hard/real buttons/controls in the interior. -10 points for the "Frankenstein Knobs" around the instrument cluster. -50 points for no touch-screen interface.
When you´re young and ask yourself: "What am I going to look like in the future". Tnx guys, great as always. Please make it mandatory to measure dB at 60, I´m all in for comfort.
Very nice presentation. You both guys are an excellent workteam. I felt as a part of your family. The info is very useful and the video truly represents a guideline for decision making on buying a car. Congratulations! and regards from Mexico.
What I don’t like about the ES is that you can’t get heated rear seats, 4 way lumbar for the passenger or folding rear seats, three things that the Avalon hybrid even offers
But what’s more unforgivable is that the Es AWD is using the same power train as the Camry AWD, Avalon awd, and the rav4 xle AWD: 2.5L I4
Four-banger raucousmess should not be in a Lexus.
Norm T the hybrid is the only exception since the fuel economy is great for that size sedan
200k people dead but Mr. First Worlder is complaining about rear seat heaters (that would get used once every 3 years, if that) and 4 way lumbar on a passenger seat. Sure the Avalon has them - it also has an even more ridiculous grille than this, and an absolutely hideous deal-breaking interior with floating ipad in the middle. Good luck with that.
mrsj1417 get your political shit out of here ..
So I’ve just finished a review on the Lexus ES300h, not to mention I drive one for a daily. But here in Australia the Sports Luxury (our top of the range) - you get heated rear seats with reclining function.
I was out in Boulder visiting my sister when that snow rolled in. We, instead of doing what you two crazy guys did, stayed inside, drank wine, ate pasta and chicken and watched the snow fall. That does sound like a sweet Lexus if you want a comfortable, quiet ride in the lap of luxury.
TFL mornings .. 😁
Instant thumbs up because I own a Lexus ES330 and for the Dunder Mifflin hoodie!
just bought a ultra luxury 300h for my mom. Very nice
Great cars
Congrats 😄
Really nice review.
I love lexus quality, great brand.
They’re awesome 😄
That snow is crazy. I love it.
Very good review, thank you.
"Why would you call it "dude?" LOL. You guys are great
As Least With This Crazy weather you Have Andre My Main Man Feels Like He’s Back in Russia, Tommy And Roman Also The Best Nathan Too!
Great video, but where was the snowstorm you promised to show?
Wheels are beautiful. Sedan looks just like LS top-of-the-line massive car! No touchscreen is a dealbreaker, stuck in 2010 with the screen tech
Keep your grubby fingers off of my screen
That knob sticking out of the right side of the instrument cluster housing reminds me of a Ford Tempo.
Hello , gentlemen , thank you for the video , and keeping it real , ljust lie a normal guy would go test drive. I'd appreciate if you guys please review the Lexus LS hybrid. I'm stuck between the ES or LS hybrid. Great videos , lots of priceless dad and son memories. Thank you and hola from Miami , FL gentlemen. 🌴
As always you’re spot on … it’s just so damn comfortable and quiet and superbly efficient
you have a very cool dad, dude!
Snow already?! I'm in Canada, yet it hit 29C (84F) yesterday, with the humidex making it feel 34C (91F). I won't be ditching shorts for at least another month. Anyway, as always that was a great and informative vid. And Roman must have had a Snickers bar before filming as he wasn't as wound up as he was in yesterday's vid.
Romans temperature setting at 3:30 is NICE.
Tommy, you got excellent style friend, love your hoodie. Now onto the Lexus ES, I'm going to put myself on front street here and say I always associate an ES with those 50 and up. It's a Toyota Camry in an expensive but comfortable suit.
How dare you Tommy. I’m 31 and listen to old blue eyes all the time. Great buddy review fellas.
Richard Favreau 31 is old? You’ve cut me deep Richard 🤣. I understand I’ve been blessed and have had a good like so far. BUT I’m not Frank Sinatra old. He did die in ‘98 and boy would I have LOVED to see him live. I’m sure I’m in the minority of 31 year olds who listen to old blue eyes for fun.
0:48 Nice shot there guys!
Great review
I have hybrid 2017. Love it amazing car. Drives like or even better than E class Mercedes. Only difference mine give 1000km for a full tank 65 liters and reliable car vs totally opposite Mercedes.
Lexus 5.0L = 470hp
Mercedes 5.0L = 570hp
lmao at korean engineering
I’ve just reviewed both the 6th gen and 7th gen ES300h and I have to say the improvements are massive 😃
@@SergCarReviews thank you
@@SergCarReviews one think I didn't like, newer model. Much lower to ground. Door feels light compared to my 2017.
@@jackryder6732 Yeh you’re not wrong
I love when Roman said "George Michaels" LOL
All this car needs is the new 350h drive they're putting in the NX, maybe AWD for some
First day of Christmas my true love gave to me, 19 covids, 18 murder hornets, 17 riots.....
I wish it would rain here in California......the air is really bad
Really bad. There have been fires around my house for weeks on end. The only good part is that it makes for some amazing colors in the moon.
I would lease it. Snow in September in Colorado. SMH. Meanwhile some states are literally on fire. Not uncommon for your state as well. Congrats on the better weather. :) A digital Rolodex # changer? lol Fads coming full circle. ;) Quieter for your in ride experience than it sounded in the vid. Strange.
Just for grins during the navigation test, try saying ‘ directions to...’ rather than ‘navigate to...’ and see what happens.
Tip: You guys should always talk about the seats in a car.
Hey guys where can I get this kind of Lexus with all this features?
15:43 we said that about 2016 and how did that work out?
Where was the part it drove through snow?
Dad, you're old in 3....2.....1......
The young dude looks exactly like Louis Theroux
I love that Roman trying to act natural was the least natural thing ever
This was fav in class until i heard fwd.
What snowstorm ?
Where did you get the hulu girl from?
When BBA break down on the road, Lexus always passing by
Leuxs has higher quality than tesla
I do not understand h8w cars are marketed in the USA
We have trim levels
Es 300h
Es 300h F sport
Es 300h Takumi
So you want a fully loaded car you by the Takumi trim level
If you where to buy and es then spec it up,you end up paying $20000 more than the top spec car.
The when you come to trade in, your car is valued as a base spec car as we do not count option in our used car prices, so the car is valued on the base spec price as is your insurance so you loose all tgst money you soent out
Where is you purchased a es Takumi the car us valued at that price. There no point in buy a base car and adding choosing from the option list.
best comment ever... starts out clear and legible ... by the end your just mashing the keyboard! hahaha omg thats so funny... ill bet you cant respond after smashing the keyboard into a wall after hitting save
@@philtripe i have this alll the time when it over a few line, i press send and it seems to garbled up
Only happens when i use my samsung tab.
Here in Australia there are the 3 models :
ES300h Luxury - 68k
ES300h F-Sport - 78k
ES300h Sports Luxury - 84k
But wheat they’ve done is instead of giving you options to buy they call it an enhancement pack and give you a bunch of stuff.
So then you can get:
ES300h Luxury Enhancement Pack - 78k
ES300h F-Sport Enhancement Pack - $82k
As well
It makes it very confusing cos the luxury with EP comes with almost all the features the sports luxury gets but is only 5k cheaper but technically is still a base model....
I wish they mad this car a lift back
Best hoody ever period and bad car why because front wheel that's why .
Granny mobile...😂
Yas sort of
Lexus surpasses all the competition in every imaginable aspect. Why would anyone even consider anything else is beyond me. The Japanese know how to make cars.
For a luxury brand this is a big miss as is the LS500h. At least this Camry/Avalon version ranks higher than a 52 out 100 in Consumer Reports rankings of the LS500.
I don't care about consumer reports. I care about quality and reliability.
Hey Nathan I’ve done reviews on both. Would love to hear your thoughts 😃
@@nathankestin1922 The Japanese are not what they used to be as many are finding just good of quality but for less cost.
I find it so ironic that Japan...Lexus can do it better than ANY German car maker....Germans build expensive unreliable junk. MB and BMW should be ashamed.
Seems like a great car for grandma
Roman, is Tommy your only child?
Its a shame they make a great car so ugly on the outside and the dash looks to busy with all the angels. The two way knobs where used by General motors back in the 90s . Is amazing that all the stuff that is "new " was criticized back in the day when the American manufacturers used it wood trim,chrome,being soft and comfortable .
Surprise snowstorm? They forcast it a week in advance!
Lol, meanwhile Oregon is literally on fire. Hard to watch as an Oregonian right now. Not your fault though.
California also. Fires everywhere. Especially thankful for all the environmental agencies that don't allow us to put in fire breaks here or allow overburden clearing so the fires can burn 1000's of acres instead of hundreds. So dumb.
Its not hew it been out since 2019
Lexus < then handing cars anyday
I'd give it 4.5 Hulu Girls.
Actually 6.2 feet tall is pretty much 6'2"
How much is the wireless charger?
600.00
Fart sound
No
75 dollars dad.
No AWD..... deal breaker
Available in the 2021, but only with a 4 cylinder
G Roberts I know..still, I prefer IS and GS over this, rear wheel drive is awesome
@@jtomtl better hurry up and buy one of the last GSs. No one else is
White Rose Motors yeah, the GS350 is a amazing looking car, but it comes with a high price tag
why should a hybrid vehicle not have tail pipes??? even though it's a hybrid there's also an IC engine which certainly needs an exhaust!!!
They just hide them... Lexus things
Lexus 5.0L = 470hp
Mercedes 5.0L = 570hp
lmao at korean engineering
Lexus is japanese kid and Mercedes are shit cars lol always broken
No style, Tommy? Steve Carrell, Rainn Wilson, Jenna Fischer and Mindy Kaling would like your sweatshirt.
Cringe @10.30
$50k + for a 4 cyl luxe sedan (hybrid or not) does not even subliminally communicate value. As sedans continue to decline in popularity, it may be a much better value prop to look at an off lease CPO model.
Imagine a world where hybrids and japanese luxury holds value....oh wait...
@@PeterXChhanX just checked used prices for the 2019 models and they hold their value pretty well. Was hoping they would be pretty cheap since sedans are so unpopular nowadays
What does crap mean
Same as poop
Ford...MB...BMW
Blah, blah, blah.....SHUT UP about how much you think each option costs!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Car navigation and car commands are awful. Doesn’t work it’s inefficient and Lexus is really bad at it, of course it’s a Toyota backend which is even worst
That is hideous lol
Crap!
Just hit cancel...
We've got so many fires here in the West I would take snow over burning up!
