Watched the whole video and loved it. I have a question. How much it cost to fill up the gas on this? I have 2017 is300 f sport. And i drive 100 miles a day. My lexus is costing me alot of gas money. So please inform as you said it can drive up to 500 miles. But how much it cost to fill.up the tank? Thanku
For the glare that you were talking about in the display screen. I do not have this issue because my windows are tinted and also, I have a black interior.
Thank you for this very accurate and detailed video. I have owned an ES300h for a year now and I can confirm that you nailed all the key points of this car. A point to mention is the very good reliability of Lexus, especially when compared to the German 3 luxury brands. Here in Europe the dealer experience is also excellent. Greetings from across the pond. Stay well & safe!
I have one and we absolutely love it. It just makes your _everyday_ driving and errands *SO* comfortable and effortless. A really nice car to actually _live with_ every day, with really nice luxury, awesome safety, great efficiency, and extreme reliability.
Once the ES gets AWD (later this year???) it will be unbeatable! Fun fact - ES in Japan and Europe will have heated and reclining rear seats with climate control...no big deal!
In the Middle East also it will be equipped with more features because in the US when the price point reaches 60k or more the market will prefer the German rivals like 5 series, E class and A6. Lexus know that. For example, in Iraq when I’m living For each BMW X5 Lexus selling 27 Lx570 which are 95+ K vehicles and people are willing to spend more many on the Japanese brands. A 2013 Toyota Camry with base options may worth 20k after 100,000 mileage if it is clean which is insane knowing that a brand new one will cost 27,000. The depreciation is about 1000 to 1300 USD only per year which is unbelievable.
Thank you for going through all the interior details. It seems like the bigger reviewers get bored and just skip a lot of the small stuff. Great video overall.

Forrest, this is the best and most detailed review on RUclips for the ES300H. What is your opinion on how this car would perform entering a busy interstate highway where acceleration is required to merge safely into traffic?
Excellent content you bring to us my friend keep it up 100k subscribers coming at a theater near you ! 😊👍 If you can try and get a Rx450 Fsport review pleeeeze. Thanks again.👍
When mid size cars aren't competing for fun to drive anymore and are just competing on style and tech, this car looks really tough to beat. I had the use of a new BMW 530i for a day and the tech kinda blew me away, but this seems like it's even better for much less money.
At least, full trunk of groceries! Who cares about suitcases, the real challange is to load all of my sausages into the trunk! Great review and even greater hairstyle, bro!
I'm sorry but that interior is lacking for $55,000....issues with heads up display, wireless charging placement, front area cupholders poorly placed and it seems like the heated/cool seat switches are kind buried under the lower part of the dashboard....you mentioned the infotainment...no android auto. You my friend, make the most through car reviews...keep it up...👍🏽

So please inform as you said it can drive up to 500 miles. But how much it cost to fill.up the tank? Thanku
This has a 13.2 full tank size which uses regular gas … at current prices 2.99 X let’s say 12 gallons cause must people don’t run it all the way down to E .. = 35.88 and that gets you about 430-500 miles of range depending on how aggressive you drive. Just got a 2019 300h and I love it !! Has everything I need in it. Drove over 2 hours back from the dealership and averaged 52 miles per gallon back to my house lol mostly freeway.
9:20 They got Cheap on that tiny storage...My 2017 version has carpet soft material so if you have coin inside there is no sound while driving! And HUD I think you can adjust it in the car setting?
Does the ES offer heated rear seats or tri-zone climate control? I feel like for all the baby LS limo vibes this car has, it'd be worth having those options to spoil the rear passengers a bit more.
Awesome review Forrest! Your reviews are on the money! I don't own the hybrid version but you can't deny that this has almost everything you really need in a luxury car. For those that don't like that vertical line grill, i actually did a FSPORT grille conversion here: www.clublexus.com/forums/es-7th-gen-2019-present/950057-fsport-conversion.html
Is efficiency a luxury considering most 2L diesel cars can get similar mileage and better performance....... and in the UK at least there is no other engine options. Also now the competitors are offering PHEW options which can get even better mileage and much better performance, Lexus is really left hanging now. It terms of driving refine, it's negligible between the Germans and Lexus, they all come with so much acoustic glazing and sound proofing and much better transmissions. I'm finding it really hard to justify so much money except for reliability, it's in a class of its own.
I just bought a 2020 ES 300 And my mileage is a great! I get 44MPG! Around 510 miles on a tank of gas. I do drive VERY SLOW! Better AC than my 2019 es350!!! And my Wheels Don't get as DIRTY !! Maybe cause it's a NEWER car??
sure a shame that some of these States make it So you have to have a license plate in the front of the car! Terrible idea! Totally unnecessary. It ruins the whole look of a nice front end on certain cars. I am so glad I live in Florida where you don't need to have a front license plate.

I really love anything about that car. But 0-100 in 9 seconds and top speed 180 kmh is just WAY WAY WAY too slow. If only the speed would be average like 0-100 in 8 seconds and top speed of around 210 kmh it would be the absolute perfect car
It’s front wheel drive though. For $55,000? Hard pass. I’d take an A4 or A5 any day of the week. And that lexus infotainment system would cause me to get a DUI.
I understand your point. However, in this case, FWD doesn't matter. Most people will NEVER drive this hard enough to highlight the fact that it is FWD. Heck, most people will not even realize whether their car is FWD, RWD, or AWD. The Audi A4, A5 is a different vehicle. You pay around the same money but for a sportier experience. The Audi has better tech but a way less comfortable ride and way less efficient. That person would never consider this because this is aimed 100% at luxury, comfort, and MPG without the slightest hint of being sporty. Different strokes for different folks. I do love me some Audi though! Should be filming the new RSQ8 and RS6 soon! :)
CarsofGlasgow I lease most of my cars, I don’t keep them longer than 3 years. I also live in the north east USA. AWD is a necessity and wouldn’t consider a car at that price point without it. Also my 2018 A4 has had flawless reliability. I’ve driven the exact car Forrest reviewed here. The infotainment system alone is a reason Id pass on it. And the Levinson audio has a terrible drone to the bass whereas my A4’s B&O system is glorious.
@@CarsofGlasgow Fully agree. The Audi's are nice cars as long as they don't break down, which will happen often! The quality of Lexus, not the perceived quality, is in a different universe when compared to Audi.
An Audi A4 or A5 They are small cars, bro! No comparison! I just bought a 2020 ES 300 . Had a 2019 350. 6 cylinder. This hybrid has a MUCH colder AC!!! 44MPG!

M M it has a 13 gallon tank and takes regular gas. The cost to fill up is then based on how much gas cost in your area.
@@professionalmady As Ronald Campbell said, it has a 13 gallon tank. It costs me $25.00 to fill up from empty.
For the glare that you were talking about in the display screen. I do not have this issue because my windows are tinted and also, I have a black interior.

how's the acceleration on the highway or main roads? That's my only concern with a hybrid and an entrance ramp
@@darioschaeffer5513 it is adequate but it will never blow you away. Doesn't feel slow though.

I bought the ultra luxury edition recently. I love it especially coming from 2012 Camry le hybrid, which I gave to my son.
Thank you for going through all the interior details. It seems like the bigger reviewers get bored and just skip a lot of the small stuff. Great video overall.
You are my favorite car reviewer on youtube Forrest Jones. Your videos are very good and very well put together. 10/10
Thanks!! 😀
Very few car reviewers out there will ever go into that kind of detail of the interior

I just love seeing a hybrid with paddle shifters
When you were going to talk about head room in the rear seat, I knew your next line would be "I'm 6 feet tall"!
Lol
Great review man . You make Dallas auto enthusiast look excellent.
Love & miss Dallas. Was out here visiting family for a bit but now my wife and I must return to Laguna Niguel, California where we recently moved to.
Good review man.
You are bang on about the Hybrid. It’s a very subtle sell but like the old Steve Jobs Apple products, it just works. Good review mate.
Brilliant video as always! Would love to meet you in DFW when you review a cool car next time!
BEST ES GENERATION EVER
Forrest, this is the best and most detailed review on RUclips for the ES300H.
What is your opinion on how this car would perform entering a busy interstate highway where acceleration is required to merge safely into traffic?
It should do just fine! It has plenty of power to do most driving maneuvers!
Oh its the car guy I see on TikTok all the time :D
The 18 inches are nice but I bet 19 inches would look awesome, just like the Mazda 6!
13:40 someone finger that EV mode bottom too hard LMAO
Love my 2022 ES smooth fuel efficient comfortable to drive
Excellent review ! Hoping this will be my next used car !
Great content. Love the color.

Yes, I think that if fast driving is not even on your list, and comfort is a priority, this will take it all day long. Literally drove like a cloud.
excellent video man!
Nice review. I saw in another review that even with the steering in its highest position ur knees are touching it. Is that a problem u had?
Please review the ES350 F Sport.
You do great reviews!
Great reviews
Thank you so much! I appreciate that!

Nice review man i follow you from Iraq
I appreciate that! Hope you are well over there! Thanks for watching!
He looks like a character that Jordan Peele would do in a Key and Peele sketch.

That's a fair judgement. I would like to see those improvements done as well. Thanks for stopping by!
3:09 - And those wheels are actually the optional upgraded noise-reducing wheels.
Thumbs up for showing the groceries.
Did they ever update this car with Android Auto?
Great work bro👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻...btw what is the name of the sound track on 00:35??

17.4 gallons X (regular/non premium gas price) for me it would be 17.4 X $2.61= $45.41. Does that help?

I hope I can drive this car one day
Claimed 43/44 mpg but actual my reading is about 35 mpg... I am not driving crazy but... is it normal?
@Forrest's Auto Reviews What is the color of the leather seats called? I like it. It looks beautiful.
Just add AWD and I'm sold. Selling my Tahoe and ls 430

If you can afford a Lexus, you don't worry about fuel mileage, at least I don't...
As fuel prices rise, there is a sensitivity threshold that is typically non-linear.
Can anyone tell me who owns this particular ES300h what is the total range yoi get in a full tank?
I own one for more than a month now and I'm getting almost 900 kms in a tank( we live in Canada)
I just bought a 2020 ES 300

Do you know who Toro y Moi is? When he had as much hair as you do, you guys look alike. Only difference is that you are taller than he is.

How is that car 2020 and its interior is already so worn off?
It definitely looks better in person but maybe the video is portraying it differently? It's actually one of the nicer interiors I've reviewed.
@@forrestsautoreviewsofficial I meant that it looks like it was driven for years. The leather was damaged, steering wheel had some scratches, etc...
Is this auto drive car?
EV bottom stuck cause the new car they are not as good quality as use to be before
Can you please do the Infiniti Q60S
Can everyone like this comment so he could see it 🥺🥺

The crazy part is that it feel WAY faster than the numbers suggest. I would have guessed 7 seconds to 100km
I hope you do realize that there is no real wood in there. But the review in general is pretty good.
