2020 Lexus IS 300h Hybrid (223 PS) TEST DRIVE 

Me too, although not the facelift model. I love it too. It goes under 6l/100km easely.

@@AndyGrouch Mine’s the same less then 6 liters fo 100km. It is 2017 white pearl black alloys and mirrors 😀

@@arturnirwhat a grear car is it on longer cruises. So comfortable and the passengers agree.

I have F-sport 2017 and I am too absolutely loving it ♥️👊💪

Heja, To zależy czego oczekujesz. Ja całe życie jeździłem volvami. Był też T5R z pożądanym kopem i to było czuć ale nie za sprawą mocy tylko dźwięku. T5R miał około 7s do setki przy 240KM. IS ma 8 do setki przy 225KM. Wiesz czemu według Ciebie jedzie jak by miał 150? Ponieważ jeż cisza a skrzynia e-CTV ( nie mylić z CTV bo to tylko w nazwie podobne, technologiczne to dwa różne urządzenia ) nie generuje szarpnięć między biegami i też cicho pracuje. Przyspieszenie IS widać spod świateł szczególnie kiedy jednostki spalinowa i elektryczna pracują w trybie Sport lub Sport+. Mało kto wówczas daje radę. Ale nie o to chodzi a to, że gdyby ryczał to "wmawiając sobie czuł byś" że z butów wyrywa. Pomijam już fakt, że zużywa to Pb tyle co klekot. Jeśli chodzi o wielkość to też zależy co ci potrzeba, bo dla mnie jest idealny. Tak jak mówiłem, miałem po kolei 6 sztuk Volvo, też jedno XC70 ale priorytety mi się zmieniły i już nie potrzebuję wielgachnych kombiaków. IS przy moim wzroście 173 cm i 74 kg jest jak skrojony na moją miarę, a za sprawą foteli i pozycji za kierownicą jestem samochodem a nie siedzę w samochodzie - jeśli rozumiesz o co mi chodzi. Przed kupnem IS robiłem jazdę próbną nowym s90 i generalnie prawie się zdecydowałem. Jednak po testach IS-em zadzwoniłem do Volvo i odmówiłem. W IS zakochałem się od pierwszych kilometrów a był to 2017 rok i do tej pory nie żałuję wyboru. Wciąż gdy jadę japa mi się cieszy. Tak że nie wiem czy moja opinia jako zakochańca jest Ci pomocna 😊 👊

As far as I know, it is possible to drop the backseats.

IS is actually the only sedan from Lexus where you can fold down the rear seats. ES, GS or LS do not have that option in either version, petrol or hybrid.

@@milosza1384 thanks

That’s called CVT, mind my swearing

@@serhiy1237 It is actually fake sound coming from the Audio System in Sport+ and not from the CVT.

@@fwebe2871 , thanks for pointing out that Engine noise is not coming from transmission 😏. Kinda guessing that before, I boldly suspected that increased level of disgust of before mentioned commenter is *mainly* caused by unbearable nature of given CVT by sluggishly raising RPM to the point of halted ignominious nasal whining.

You can turn it off if it bothers you.

@@serhiy1237 It's not a CTV but an e-CTV, which is a completely different device. They are similar only in name, technologically they have nothing in common.

They still sell it in the UK tho

@@vladriabokon6642 No they don't. The ES has replaced in the IS in Europe.

bc EU is a fascist regime, no free market

@@Mgoblagulkablong I 'd love to put 1000000 thumbs up for you for these words of truth, but I can't. Probably for the same reason you mentioned in your comment...👍👍👍

Because people are buying mainly SUVs :P. Now you can only get one used.

I think you’re right it must be in the category Class C or similar , Acriss Code FDAR

​@@mehdigillig9206 I'm thinking since cars like the A6/E-Class/5er 3.0 petrol/diesel are in LDAR and the plug-in hybrid equivalents are in LDAH, I'm wondering since this is a regular hybrid and not a plug-in hybrid, whether it's in FDAR.

@@alexlovesmac At Europcar they don’t have a category For simple hybrids or plug-in hybrids it seems to me, they group everything in a category. For example recently they have introduced the Audi A6 Break 55 TFSIe and it is in the LWAR category as a simple A6 50TDI OR 45 TDI. it is the same principle for the Lexus UX which is in the category GLA, X1 or similar

Guess is like c class or bmw 3 series and audi a 4

@@mehdigillig9206 Ah ok. I know Sixt has special categories for their plug-in hybrids, but personally I've never rented one as I prefer diesels and if possible, a manual transmission.

Yes this is true, this is only cruising on highway fuel consumption test. For example for long road trip you want drive all way 120 kmh so that's about the fuel consumption numbers. Of course its not exact number it depends of traffic, weather, area with lots hills etc. Same at city or average fuel consumption test from other Magazin, auto tester or from manufacturers official paper. Because every city is different, some city has less traffic lights, some more, some has less traffic, some with many traffic, etc.

2017?

Why is that?. Europeans don’t like hybrid cars?. Or just Lexus

We have lexus rc video in our channel

@@TESTDRIVEFREAK And can you test the facelfit 300h?

Lying hater, go back to inhaling your VW exhaust fumes.

@@Mgoblagulkablong where did I hate here anything? Just FYI both cars in my family are Japanese and one is Toyota. Why are you offending me? Did I say anything wrong about you? Or it’s just your typical level to throw insults at people around?

Which one? The latest one? So you found an answer who copied who. Basically this Lexus was design , nearly 10 years ago...

CVT gearbox

Its original

Compare it with Equal model. Not diesel with Gasoline..

Worst than a vw TDI on fuel economy,far better on reliability....i choose reliability first

@@albertoiturria9461 of course. I agree. Plus cant compare 1.6 with 2.5.

@@albertoiturria9461 my 3.0 tdi audi a6.... Has less fuel consumption and... Drive it for 5 years... Made 150.000 km i no problems!!! I watch a lot of sccoty kilmer... And i know how Vag is not so reliable in the US... But... Here in europe and in Europe built... Are very reliable!! This is my 5 car of Vag group... All Tdi... And all 💪👍

For comparison you have to increase the Diesel consumption numbers (volume per distance) by about 16,5 %. A gas engine with the exact same efficiency as a diesel engine always needs a higher volume of fuel. If the gas engine gets the same consumption figures as the diesel engine, the gas engine is about 14% more efficient than the diesel. The better way of comparison is by mass per distance.

It has better drive quality than A4 and I like the interior more.

@@AndyGrouch A4 = lease IS300 = Purchase

Name any german premium model in this class with this type of power train.............none? Thank you.

Well, How?

you call lexus midrange class? I don't know if you realize but over 18" driving is not very comfortable. I have 235/40/19" myself and I regret it.

@@-xYz--nk1gm I think you don't get what I am trying to say. Whatever.

Yes, but I like to see the interior also, design and materials used.

I like to see the fuel consumption, specially because it's hybrid.
