Since I'm somewhat of a specialist, I'll do some commentary along with the video ;)
1) It has much more rear passenger leg room than the GS. Largely because of the lack of the Drive shaft hump. It has even more rear legroom than the LS 500!
2) Moonbeam Beige Metallic is a mix of two Lexus colors: Satin Cashmere and Silver Lining Metallic (if memory serves me right)
3) FWD for now. Expect AWD hybrid to be available by 2021 at the latest.
4) F Sport Grille is better but the standard is unique for Lexus with its verticle bars.
5) These Optional 18" wheels are the noise-cancelling wheels. The design grows on you over time.
6) Exhaust pipe is mostly hidden since it's a hybrid
7) Decklid spoiler is standard on all es hybrids
8) New key is the same key as LC LS and UX
9) Interior color is called Flaxen on this model
11) Since you have the UltraLuxury package, you have Semi-Aniline leather...the best leather in any vehicle.
10) Wood on this is actually bamboo :P
11) Door handle is shared with LC LS and UX just like the side mirrors and key fobs
12) Your demo car didn't have Mark Levinson Sound System, but it had Heads Up Display and Panoramic Camera...Bizarre build they sent you...oh Lexus
12.1) Mark Levinson is unreal in this car 17 speakers and 1800watts --- I get scared turning the volume too high
13) Fully heated steering wheel is a first for the ES and most Lexus Vehicles only have partially heated wheels
14) Steering Assist is now equipped with Lane Tracing. Under right conditions, it can almost drive itself compared to the outgoing lane-keep assist technology.
15) LCD is shared with the UX 250h ---- The entry-level UX gets a lot of tech from this car at about 10k less or more
16) The Aluminum trim shares a lot with the RC and LC. Supposed to be inspired by Katana sword-making techniques
17) Sifter is the same in the UX
Some people have mentioned both sound systems are very front biased with very little sound coming from the back. I didn't notice in my test drives before ordering my car but I didn't listen from the back seat. What is your input on this?
LEXUriouS Kirk this does not looks like ultra luxury trim. It is luxury trim. Ultra luxury trim has seating extender on the driver side and Mark Levinson audio. At least that’s what is offered in my state from most dealers.
@@chiricochubee great observations! Ultra luxury package is the only way you can get the rear passenger window shades. Mark Levinson w/ navigation is its own package, that can come in non luxury build cars. If this car didn't have the seat extenders, then it truly is an anomaly. Cheers.
@@jimv1983 standard audio is underwhelming and front biased. If you're an audiophile, get the mark Levinson: it's amazing
@@KirkKreifels I did get the Mark Levinson but I had to special order so I'm still waiting. Unfortunately the 2019 ES 300h with the Ultra Luxury package and Mark Levinson is only available by special order. Are you saying the Mark Levinson doesn't have the front bias? It's not something I really noticed or checked for before ordering.
So jelly. I still haven't got a chance to review the ES 300h! Mean while I've reviewed almost every Lexus 🤔. Keep up the good stuff man.
ああくせてはねほめゅろー
Forrest. You knocked another review out of the park. Very nice review of the the ES Hybrid. Thank you.
Pure beauty, luxury at an affordable and good package
20:49 hey I have that same shirt 😁. Excellent detailed review as always buddy! This hybrid still looks plainish to me and that cvt Hybrid Powertrain just doesn’t sound good, I’d for sure go for the ES F Sport, which I think looks great and I love that Powertrain so much more. Here’s to an excellent 2019 for you Forrest!
Nicely done ... good detail and enough information for the average driver. I liked the eye candy shots
I'm shocked at the fact that this is a hybrid with a spoiler 😁 that's sharp!
Also a CVT with paddle shifters on the F-sport!
Intro was fire!
Putting germans to shame wow.
ekim andersom Really
Nah. Mercedes still have better interior but Lexus does beat BMW.
@@MM_45 Lexus above all
@ekim andersom on the contrary, it's the best
Love!! And nice intro! 😉
Forrest Great review!! The truth is that every review is better that the other one. So keep it up!!
Great in-depth review. Thank you!
3:13 it is an LED light into the rear turn signal :) only at the front they use regular bulb
amazing car. the interior is so luxurious
Forrest Thanks for a great video. Well done. I test drove the "h" today and I was surprised in a good way. Have to replace my wife's 2015 ES 350. Probably will go with the "h". Also lease a LC500. Hell of a car.
Very helpful tour of this car -- thank you. From my research, it appears you're driving the "ultra luxury" trim, not the base model (the "ultra lux" has the heated steering wheel, remote/foot-open trunk, rear window manual shades, and panoramic camera, plus special noise-reducing wheels, as well as upgraded soft leather seats).
Thanks, good review!
Nice detail
the only downside for me was the overstressed 4cyl on our fast driven Autobahn...the predecessor GS450h with its V6Hybrid does so much better !! LEXUS did a big mistake not to offer this great 3,5ltrHybrid anymore as option !!!
Nice review as usual! but i dont get the point of fwd large sedans
aleks babe honestly they work better in snowy areas rwd is horrible in snow
Can’t wait to review it- but the FWD holds it back a bit especially if they try to do a true F one of it later. Maybe they can add AWD or something.
@@forrestsautoreviewsofficial Doubtful if you think about the hybrid pack located under the rear seat.
BEAUTIFUL car, for a Camry especially. I really really like the new LS / ES styling.
Beat Camry money can buy 😄😂
Great video quality , what kind of cam did you use?
Great review.
I think the instant torque of the electric motor is the killer feature. Most petrol cars have max torque at 4500rpm or higher. This car just pulls like a sledgehammer when you take off. Similar to a tesla actually.
Loved the review, not a huge fan of that color but the interior will age very well. Will you be visiting the NAIAS 2019 by any chance?
Might consider expanding your adjective list for words other than "cool"… Probably worth checking out which trim features are vinyl and not leather. The radial design on the arm rests are nice but I'll bet you a tall cool beverage it's not leather. EV kicks off around 15 mph per the manual, not 25 mpg. In my driving I conclude that putting the car into EV mode is not worth the effort because in about 30 seconds the car switches out of EV mode.
My humble opinion after a week of ownership is that Normal mode is where to keep it unless you have a wild hair to pretend you're not in an ES and you put it in Sport mode. Eco mode is equivalent to driving fairly sensibly in Normal mode. It enforces a few things (e.g., slower acceleration) but personally it's more of a pain to remember to put it in Eco mode and then switch back to Normal mode vs. just driving more sedately to begin with in Normal mode.
I traded in my 2016 ES 350 which was mostly an Oldsmobile with a Lexus name plate. I felt 70 years old when I drove it. The 2019 ES (both 300h and 350) is a huge improvement in every possible dimension. It's my 5th ES since 2007 so I'm an ES enthusiast. The older (2007-2012) era was classic IMHO. The next version was cheap and more like an Avalon. The 2019 is back to the ES styling roots with some pizzazz that is very welcome. Cool? Not really. "Cool" isn't the ES brand.
Very nice review, i still wonderd why lexus dosnt made this nice sedan with 5 doors to get more space at back trunk...if you or any one have answer pleas drop it.
sadly not available with the much better V6Hybrid from the GS450h !
Has the price increased from 2018 model?
I think I've got a glimpse of cooling seat buttons outer side of the low center fascia.
I believe that Lexus already has e- cvt not regular cvt, way better that all cvt mo belt just straight electric motor to the wheel
nice but frontwheel drive is far worse in acceleration feel ! I hope they bring a AWD ! How much hp does it have ? V6+Hybrid about 330 ?
My dream car
Interior is beautifully crafted. I would consider this car just for it.
But I'm too tall for this car.
Its a big car believe me
It's possible, but I'm very very tall. I'm hitting the roof on the LS400, on the IS250, and I can't even take place into the IS300. I only have enough headroom into the more recent RC and IS coupes/sedan.. for the moment (so far I tested). If there is any concern in drivers height, I will be directly concerned. @@ivanbiota99
I'm 6'3 with a medium build and have not one issue with the space in this vehicle at all
That intro tho

_☝🏾🤓I was told that You are My vocal doppelganger. I kinda hear it a little lol. Kinda creepy actually lol. We have a pretty similar vocal speaking pattern. The more I listen to you speak..the more I pick up on it.😅crazy huh?_
@@forrestsautoreviewsofficial
It really is lol. I showed My wife but she didn't hear it. She said I was crazy😅☝🏾😉either way, it is pretty cool.
how is the ride quality and rd noise compared to a 5 series or e-class?
Much better overall especially on the 18” noise cancelling tyres. There is little road noise even if you get the Luxury with 17”, F-Sport with 19” wheels a little more. Engine noise is ridiculously quiet, when revving harder can be a bit louder due to the CVT. Ride quality is superior when driving regularly, if trying for sportiness, definitely a BMW though :)
@Forrest's Auto Reviews What is the color of leather seats called. I like it. It look beautiful.
Most people don't have "high hair" like you do, so the rear headroom seems fine.
I care to disagree, I am 5’11” and the back headroom is really lacking and due to the slope. I can sit in it but anyone taller would really struggle. If you have the reclining rear seats it helps a bit but not too much.
1st Comment of 2K19😎😎😎😎
Does the motor cut off at the red traffic lights?
Yes
@@ivanbiota99 nice. Thanks.
Whats the interior color?
anyone know if someone is selling this exact model?
I notice how Lexus gets a pass for the presence of cheap hard plastics in the interior, low resolution back up camera and distorted heads up display along with partial LED lighting on the exterior mixed with incandescent lights. Particularly at this price point.
According to the Toytota / Lexus trolls I see comment in other videos, particularly of American and Nissan products, those issues are blasphemous if present on those other makes, even ones that cost $10,000 - $15,000 cheaper. But since this is a Lexus it's ok.
I agree. If I’m going to buy a luxury car I would pick up a Mercedes E class
When did Jordan Peele switch careers?
What about this vs the Accord Touring Hybrid?? Relatively equal levels of luxury
IF you think they do I can tell u haven't sat in a Lexus or any Luxury car yet! Picture doesn't covey the feeling when you sit in a car!
Never
third comment!
avalon looks better🤷🏽♂️.... It looks a little over done slightly in the front, And that spoiler looks very "ricer" like
Forrest's Auto Reviews i can agree because the new camry actually looks better in person, and i normally like the lexus grills so but this BEAK on this car is giving me mixed feelings
The new Lada Niva looks better... wait... we don't care.
Is Felt really that important?
I think you need to swipe your leg, Not stick in lol
this car is more than $40,000.
Guys, again, this ain't WOOD, not a real one. Please give right information when doing/trying to do professional reviews...
It’s actually real bamboo :)
The wood trims in Lexus are real
It look like a whale looking to eat road bugs. I won't be giving up my rwd Lexus any time soon or going to another brand
@@forrestsautoreviewsofficial 😀 I'm just bitter the GS is dead and the ES lived on. And the road bug eating mouth they keep slapping on all Lexus cars.
Keep the GS going strong! Enthusiasts like myself appreciate the GS and all it offers. Sadly the GS community is so small and hard to come by.
11:55 That USB plastic rubber cover is the stupidest design... useless
Talk louder can barely hear you
you look like the cliché black IT renegade who can hack into any system with his laptop or smartphone :D
It looks like an impala from the side
The ugly turn signals makes me not want to buy one
