#Lexus #ES #FSport
One of the best cars I've ever owned just all around comfort, reliability and economy. Not a sports car obviously but looks like a great package option for the es lineup
I love the es . It's a true luxury car with luxury as the main focus so I am not surprised by its selling well.
Lexus dealership experience is fantastic as well. They'll memorize your favorite latte/cappuccino and have it ready for you every time you visit for service. A Lexus loaner is guaranteed while your car is being worked on. Lexus ES is so quiet and comfortable, it's amazing!
@@braetonwilson4296 spot on my friend
@Braeton Wilson the Cadillac dealer by my house gives out GMCs with “loaner vehicle” stickers on the sides, thought that was such bad service, lexus dealers give me my choice of whatever I want from their loaners, and they’re not cheap base models
People in the comments don't understand cars at all. Everything has to be fast and sporty. Its a luxury hybrid. It's comparable to other luxury hybrid cars. It's not a sports sedan. It's a fuel efficient luxury cruiser.
Spot on my friend
Yes but it needs to be at least 260hp+. 215hp is too weak and slow.
@@troytruong8246 have you lived in Europe were you get a 200 HP 5 series
@@troytruong8246 it's really not too slow. I have a 140hp matrix a 180hp outback and a 256hp legacy and all three do just fine. I would say the legacy is actually overpowered cause it doesn't have the best efficiency
Exactly
I have a 2019 ES300h....and I am 52 - Not Grand' pa yet! It is by far the best car I've ever owned. Love the ride quality, reliability and the economy! 45 MPG when gas cost $5.50/US Gal...(Montreal QC) you sure like a frugal car!
I hate the day when the manufacturer turn the F pckg, M packg and AMG pckg in appearance pckg more than performance!!!🤦♂️
As long as people keep buying them......
I drove an ES hybrid last week as a loaner and was extremely impressed with the ride over rough roads (potholes). This is a fantastic overall car. But hey I’m 45, I think the perfect target market.
How was the wind/road noise?? And seat comfort? I'm 42 and really impressed with the natural toyota/lexus reliability and looks.
Did you drive the hybrid or the V6?
@@ItsAlive111 I said hybrid
44 here. A 350 is on my radar once this chip shortage craze subsides.
Gs450h with 338hp is the best!!!! This car is sooooo hard to find!!!!!!!
Lexus is ditching that awful track pad . And 2022 models onward are having touchscreens. They are listening to their customers.
We have only been asking for 10years
@@2001COUPE ten years ago they had touchscreens so idk what you’re taking about
@@mikevaldes9831 I don't think I was talking to you or directed a comment to you. My comment was pure sarcasm. Have a good day!
Well, I guess I’ve officially crossed over to elder age because I LOVE THIS CAR.
With most speed limits between 30 mph and 65mph this car clearly has enough power. If you want more power, don't bash this model, just go buy something else.
love my 2017 es300h this is my 8th lexus got 100,000 miles on it now and average 36mpg all day long not a fast car but its enough for me as I am now 44 yrs old its a perfect daily driver and is quiet and comfy, I have other toys if I want to go fast, when winter hits I switch back to my GX
Love your reviews Nathan, keep it up.👍🏻 You are right it is a nice looking sedan inside and out🇨🇦
Wished they put the plug in hybrid system from the Rav 4 prime. That would have been fast and efficient.
If Nathan gets tired of doing videos, I'd hire him to be a sales guy any day.
To sum up this ES 300h F Sport. It's a luxurious sedan that looks good, won't break down and you can reliably drive it for the next decade. Besides, how many luxury sedan buyers actually take their cars onto a track?
you work at a car dealership?
@@braetonwilson4296 Nope, Nathan can sell popsicles to Inuit. (1/2 don't like the word Eskimo, the other 1/2 are OK with it, or even proud of the name). Ah... PC...
@@user-iz3gv5vo6b will you give me a job?
Love that they finally brought the ES 300h F sport!
Notice they didn't drive it on camera in the mountains? That buzz-bomb 2.5l from the RAV4 would be screaming anti-luxury!
@@normt430 Okay… the type of people buying this car aren’t gonna go speeding. They’re most likely to be in the right lane doing 10 below the limit.
@@jxmar_ that is just maintaining the speed limit. Allot complaints about Toyota 2.5l in RAV4 and Sienna.
@@normt430 my wife has a RAV4 Prime and I drove the ES hybrid last week. The engine is very noticeably quieter in the Lexus when you are stepping on It!!
@@normt430 Buick fanboy, hey, you're wrong about that.
Tommy and Nathan have the best titles and fantastic sarcasm!
Andre has the best accent in the veeedeos! Hahaha.
I mess with these guys, but they're the best!
Sign me up Lexus
I know it's not the fastest, not the quietest and not the most luxurious, but I can't help it. The car in this F-sport trim still looks absolutely stunning.
Not the most luxurious wow it's a Lexus plus look at its interor.
No Volvo or jaguar can come close sorry.sales will also prove my point
It being a hybrid, they could design a temporary e-boost system for when acceleration is needed, rather than a full-time turbo. I like that you always offer great perspective in your interviews, Nathan (with the exception of your misunderstanding of the CD inclusion In a high-performance sound system, like ML - like most reviewers, unfortunately), and its appreciated.

@@normt430 It's not loud, or unresponsive at high elevations. Have a friend in CO with one of these and it has no issues, it's luxurious.
Dont know if id go with the fsport packege on the es. but the luxury or altruluxry packege fits what the es is about.
Enjoyed the video ! But that camera guy was making me dizzy lol I felt like I was on a ship lol normally its pretty good though. Thanks!😁
I have a 2021 f150 Raptor and a 2020 explorer ST. We test drove one of these yesterday and I was surprised at how quick it is for a hybrid. Loved the car so much we put a deposit down for an inbound one.
Basically the perfect daily.
They just need a high performance model.

@@normt430 you are wrong
@Allen Tokyoo yup, Nathan never drove it for the camera!
@@normt430 It is great in the mountains, silence.
I had a non F Sport hybrid ES loaner for almost two days and I was impressed with the ride and mid range acceleration on the freeway. The interior wasn’t as impressive. But that ride is silky smooth and pleasant new car smell.
should have done the AWD as a hybrid instead of 4cyl gas. The additional rear motor would have added power instead of reducing it.
Notice they didn't drive it on camera in the mountains? That buzz-bomb 2.5l from the RAV4 would be screaming anti-luxury!!!!
@@normt430 I actually work at the ES assembly plant in KY. It is essentially the same powertrain in all the hybrids built at our factory (Rav, Camry, Avalon and ES) with some minor changes model to model. The big difference between the ES and the Toyota lineup that gives it the luxury “feel” is the amount of padding and sound deadening that goes into it. The Camry and especially the Avalon have improved over the years but the ES is amazingly quiet even with the same engine
@@normt430 Stop trollin
They should put the rav4 prime power train in this
I agree 💯. I have a RAV4 Prime and had the ES hybrid loaner last week, that would be perfect.
Agreed
I would love to buy this car ! I'm in my late 20s and not all of us want super fast cars 😅
I wish Lexus gave the 300H all wheel drive. A missed opportunity in my opinion.
They offer hybrid and AWD in Japan so it can be done.
Lol they give Nathan all the boring sensible cars to review. But from squeezing yourself into the back of a MAZDA3, to talking about the blisters on a Corolla Cross, you make lemonade out of lemons lol. Great review.
Also, I hope Lexus rolls their sleeves up and gives this car the powertrain it deserves. Something like a plug-in hybrid V6 with AWD would work wonders.
They have to keep Nathan out of off road tests cause he really tests them! And the manufacturers don't like him showing how easily some of them fall apart!
with gas over$4.00 here the price is worth it, in fuel savings like my Prius does makes it affordable instead of pumping premium fuel into it at $4.30 per gallon
Now they need to get the v6 paired with AWD!!! I'm looking at the es now but having trouble wrapping my head around a 4 cyl AWD. But why no road test, last one you all viewed was driven around the office complex. I'd like to see you all take up the IKe, see the power loss, and mpg .
Notice they didn't drive it on camera in the mountains? That buzz-bomb 2.5l from the RAV4 would be screaming anti-luxury!!!
@@normt430 shut up toll
Nice review. Now get your hands on an EQS! :)
I saw an RX Hybrid with the F-Sport badge and I was questioning it. I'm guessing it's a similar setup. Nice review!
I like it because of the look and fuel efficiency.
Yeah that would be for the select buyer and the mpg is great.
Received my 2023 es300h today and was PLEASANTLY surprised as I blind purchased due to having owned a 350 for many years with such great reliability. I am sooo surprised by everyone's thoughts that this is a grandpa car. I guess it depends on your neck of the woods bc in my area, I am the "That Girl" in this. I consider her a sexy ride with a more than generous ability to perform well. I was fearful due to all the dudes complaining about the lack of performance and elderly appeal. I guess that's a dude thing bc as a female who is considered edgy, I'm a BAD "B" in this car. TRUST, ain't nothin grandpa about me, ; )!!
It's all show & no go. Typical Lexus 😹😹😹
All show and no go? Do you want your life to end painfully like Paul Walker and youtuber Corey LaBarrie's life? We all have to follow speed limits. This Lexus ES is too fast IMO.
Looks Awesome!
2000s Lexus models w/ navigation were all touch screen except for the 1st gen IS. My guess as to why they went with joysticks/touchpads in the 2010s was to lengthen the center console area to accommodate bigger mobile device and cup holder spaces. But mostly it was gimmicky, so as to compete with the Germans. Glad they went back. And not just with touch screens, but also still be able to use a touchpad.
Grandkids? Lmao I’m 30 and that car looks sexy AND great on gas, especially with horrendous gas prices nowadays.
How would it be in the winter?
When will it in the dealers? Do you guys know release date?
Awesome car. Will be on the road 3x longer than it's German counterparts.
I love the ES hybrid, it's a luxury car for people who want excellent effciency and look good doing it. And it runs on regular gas! Thanks Toyota 😀😀
But can Nathan fit in the trunk?
Yes, nice review, but can Nathan fit in the trunk?
The car reviewer business is such a joke. Does this guy think he’s 28 or something. Lol wow. The same tired joke about ES and old people is a sign of how the internet car reviewing industry is just the same guys saying the same thing. Most people look for car review that is relevant to their need. 99 % of the public is looking for vehicles they can reliably and comfortably use. The less than 1% of the so called car enthusiast world car reviewers work so hard to appeal to changes the perception of what matters. What a sad state of affairs. Please someone hand this gentleman a mirror so he can see he IS the grandpa and not a 28yr old youngster. Oh the delusion. 🤣
My 2020 Accord Hybrid just got me across the country doing 43 mpg but it does NOT look as nice nor does it have a spare tire. I would choose the Lexus.
Do basically they built that car for Roman not Nathan. Roman is the type of person that would like a poser car.
Im 27 and i would rather have this than an hellcat or any sporty car that’s a gas hog
They should make this car 280hp-300hp!!!!! Like the gs450h!!!!!!
what about front wheel drive....is it a deal killer living up north.....I like AWD....but i like the MPG!!!
I am in Sask and ordered one of these. Proper snow tires make up for the lack of AWD.
Es is better than the g80 s90 v90 xf .only Mercedes or BMW plus Audi is better .good job Lexus. A true replacement to the gs.
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
😆😆😆🤣🤣🤣
Dude Anything beats the ES… 🤦♂️ that even includes the g80 or sonata or heck even a Honda Accord
@@naveenthemachine for real I will take a k5 gt over a es
@@bigdi77 I’d take a v6 Camry XSE over the Es because it’s cheaper
@@naveenthemachine You're delusional. Lexus ES 350 offers a very quiet luxurious comfortable reliable ride. When you need service work, Lexus employee will come to your house with your favorite cappuccino, drop off a Lexus loaner, and pick up your vehicle. Neither the Accord nor the Sonata nor the V6 Camry offers that.
Typical auto Journalist opinion. Ya zero to 60 is so important. No it is zero to 35mph. Most of us live in cities where the speed limit is 30mph. They want us driving junk that needs replacing in 3 years so we watch their videos. The Lexus 300h is fast enough off the line and in the city for 90% of people. The other 10% are just dangerous drivers.
If this was made in Kentucky, then I might have put the seats or the bumpers on the car!
It probably was. I had an ES 300 hybrid loaner last week and it was made in Kentucky.
@@InternetDude I think most, if not all of the ES in the US are made here in KY.
Not to mention the cars are slower there cause of elevation
Whats the gas mileage?
43 city/44 hwy
bro i’m 27 and you’re making me not want this car lol
😂😆 paddle shifters in a CVT
Again I say if the Exterior is nice , the interior must also than hang on to the past in tech and features of today.
@Allen Tokyoo With a Old Track Pad and CD player , Old Tech! 👎
@@QuietStormX It has a touchscreen. And there is no reason not to have a CD player, they offer fantastic sound quality
@@alh06 I know that...
@@QuietStormX Don't know why you thumbs-downed it then, as many would still use a CD player, and it doesn't really require any other newer technologies.
Or you can use your voice commands and keep you hands on the wheel and attention on the road. DVD player.
I love the ES i just wouldn't buy anything in a hybrid model , i would go all electric or not at all 🤷🏾♂️
Also 9 seconds to 60 is horrible now days. Mabey not 30 years ago
It’s not a CVT!
Lots of idiots on here think driving is all about speed…… smh 🤦🏼♀️ there’s more to a car than just going fast…… smh 🤦🏼♀️
Uh... my 2016 c-max was $7k used (early 2021) and has 188hp and 45mpg in-town .... over $50k is a bit much for that Lexus ... plus my former 2013 c-max is still running strong, over 320k miles...
You're seriously comparing the price of an used 2016 POS Ford econobox to the price of a brand new 2022 luxury sedan?
@@braetonwilson4296 its what, 30 HP difference and the same MPG .... 1 boring Lexus or 7+ cars that will easily run 300k miles .... I could start a fleet of Turo rentals .... calm down stranger, its Labor day 😆
[Spoiler: an econobox doesn't have a msrp of 28K.... don't be grumpy I got a good deal
Are you saying this luxury car should cost less or nobody should buy new, instead buy used.
@@TheStimie it's not worth the money, that's all

Ah Americans...
look like a basass avalon
Are these made in Japan?
Yes.
Kentucky but probably also Japan. I drove one last week.
That fsport badge looks an afterthought. Just 3m tape some chucky badge on and call it good.
Only suckers buy Lexus.
215hp? CVT? FWD? for a luxury midsized sedan?
Who is buying this thing?
This comment has wiped the Lexus brand off the face of the earth
Someone who doesn't want to buy an overpriced unreliable POS German car. Someone who wants to keep their luxury car for a long time. BTW, this is the hybrid e-CVT which is extremely reliable and not like a regular CVT.
@@braetonwilson4296 all of them are reliable for the first 5-6 years and they are not overpriced. You get what you pay for. The E class/5 series are RWD based, way more powerful, way nicer interiors, more tech etc.
@@kristians2704 Lexus IS is RWD based too. Lexus is for people who want to own a luxury car for 20 years, not 5 years like an unreliable POS German car.
@@braetonwilson4296 we're talking about the ES here, but even the IS is shit compared to the Germans and Genesis G70
I have tried to like these Lexus grills but I just don't.
Tablet dash - instant fail. Even if it is touch screen now.
I get almost 40 mpg in a 2018 CT6 2.0E plug-in after the EV battery is empty after 40 miles. Lexus needs to step it up in hybrids and EV.
@Peter P. Almost Half of 2021 Cadillac Escalades Have Sold for over $100K
The redesigned 2021 Escalade starts at $77,490 for the base Luxury trim, but GM reports that 43 percent of buyers paid more than $100,000 for theirs.
"[The] all-new Cadillac Escalade retook market leadership in its segment in Q4," GM stated in its 2020 fourth-quarter sales report. It sold 9454 Escalades in that time, including 2020 models. GM also said the Escalade's fourth-quarter retail deliveries were up 19 percent. Car & Driver
@Peter P. The rebound in Cadillac Escalade sales during the fourth quarter represents a strong performance following the 56 percent drop in Q3 2020. As such, the ‘lade remained the best-selling model in the full-size luxury SUV segment, with a dominant 45 percent segment share, meaning that the Escalade almost outsold all rivals combined, including:
Lincoln Navigator (see Lincoln Navigator sales), which came in second place with 5,042 deliveries for a 24 percent segment shareInfiniti QX80, which took third place with 4,832 deliveries and 23 percent segment shareLexus LX, which came in last place with 1,636 deliveries and 9 percent segment share.

Lexus loses it value just like any other luxury vehicle. So I wouldn't believe the wive's tale about Lexus holding their value. Residual values are set by the banks and the food chain of auction and dealerships just play along to make as much money as they can out the consumers.
Edmunds long term test of the Lexus GS loosing over 1/3 of it's value from MSRP.
"Resale and Depreciation:
We accumulated 20,940 miles on our 2013 Lexus GS 350. Edmunds' TMV® Calculator valued the vehicle at $47,431 based on a private-party sale. The market did not seem to support this price, as CarMax offered us $40,000 and the best we could muster from a private partywas $41,000. This made for 30-percent depreciation from our paid price of $58,377. We were disappointed.

Just a camary with an uglier front end. Hate the grill would never buy a Lexus.

It’s a great car for people that don’t like sport cars. People that want to pay $50k but are too stingy on gas. Such huge compromise of a car. This car is borderline dangerous on the highway when filled with 4 people and luggage.
Borderline dangerous is a bit of an exaggeration lol
The people that driving these are what’s borderline dangerous. The 80 year old entering the freeway at 35mph. Trust me it’s not the cars lack of performance for that buyer

@@bigdi77 yup. An es350 isn’t really better than a v6 Camry XSE that’s cheaper and almost as luxurious
