Just upgraded my 2015 es300h with a 2023 es300h ultra lux in caviar tonight. So stoked! Just drove it through a canyon in San Diego at night and I must say it is quiet and handles well; the lights are so bright. I’m also very impressed with the Mark Levinson 1800 watt 17 speaker sound system. Man, I didn’t know you could sync Lyft to the infotainment system; looks like a game changer. Thanks for showing that and I appreciate your hustle making videos while doing Lyft.
I love this car so much. Elegant, classy, smooth. No frills, just does it's good and well. Perfect for cruising the city, and a joy on longer drivers. I am so glad they removed the HYBRID badge, very silly but I would have not gotten the H if it still had that (and the blue logo)
Thanks for making this review. Did you get the noise reduction wheels option? if so, do you recommend? And did you have a chance to test out the base version? I wonder how much ride quality improvement the luxury trim's "performance damper" has over the base model. Thanks a lot.
I like the styling of the non-noise reduction wheels better, but my car came with the noise reduction wheels. I haven’t driven any of the other models, so I don’t know the differences. I would describe the ride of this car as “smooth and comfortable.” It also is sporty and takes corners aggressive as needed.
Hi Ryan, Keep up the good work. I’m trying to buy the same vehicle bit hard to find black color like you mentioned in your video. Recently I found one with the black exterior near my area but the interior Palomino NuLuxe® and Open-Pore Brown Walnut trim. Do you think still am I eligible to do Lyft lux black with this interior color? What’s your interior trim color?
Thanks for posting this. I was wondering if the lack of power , when needed, would be an issue and you answered that. In the video the acorn interior seems to contrast markedly with the black. Does it look that way in person or is it more of a subtle difference?
Hello Ryan, thanks for the clear review. I have 1 question. I bought a brand new 2023 es300h on last March 2023. my first gas tank in the car state or show that I will get 514 miles, but I only got 366 miles and the tank was empty. The second tank I fill it very full and it said I will get 498 miles , but by the end i also only got 374 miles. Do you have any idea why? As I watch some review they said In Hybrid car it always get more mileage than the range show. But mine the mileage it drop so much. I really dont get it. It off so much.
Can you make a video or just tell me how many suitcases you can fit in the trunk of this beautiful vehicle? Wondering cause Camry has bigger trunk as well as Accord Honda
Debating between this and the NX hybrid. Love the look and interior of the ES but I like the smaller size and height of the NX. Hard to make a decision
I just bought this car 2 weeks ago, however, the average that I am getting is around 36/37 mpg. Does it take some time to get the car uptown where it is supposed to be in terms of the fuel economy?
I got 45 when on the highway cruzing, but in the 30’s around town because I can’t keep my foot out of it. I think you have to baby the throttle to get 40+ MPG
The only two brands to buy are Toyota and Lexus. Don't believe me, just watch Scotty Kilmer and The Car Care Nut on YT. I have a 2023 Lexus ES300h hybrid Ultra Luxury and love the vehicle. I'm getting 41+ MPG. Here's the specifications: It is the Cloudburst Gray exterior with Acorn color semi-aniline leather interior. Total Installed Packages & Accessories: 1) Premium Triple-beam LED headlamps; 2) Smartacess Card Key; 3) Premium Paint; 4) Lexus Interface with 12.3-in Multimedia Touchscreen Display; 5) Ultra Luxury Package; 6) All weather floor liners and trunk mat; 7) Door edge film by 3M; 8) The Preferred Accessory Package; and 9) The Dealer added a 5-year windshield protection/replacement coverage package and tinted the driver and passenger windows. MORE: The three-projector headlamp design creates an eye-catching L shape. Adding to this brilliant design, the headlamps feature LED side turn signals, as well as an Adaptive Front Lighting System6 that uses steering and speed sensors to direct the angle of low-beam illumination as the vehicle enters a curve. The Adaptive Front Lighting System monitors steering and speed with a suite of sensors and will automatically adjust the angle of your low-beam headlights to improve visibility on curved roads. Ultra Luxury extras: 1) 18-inch split-five-spoke alloy noise-reduction wheels and Michelin "green" tires; 2) Power rear sunshade with manual rear-door sunshades; 3) Power open/close trunk with kick sensor; 4) 12.3-inch multimedia touchscreen display 10.2-inch Head-Up Display; and 5) Intuitive Parking Assist with Auto Braking and Rear Pedestrian Detection, and Panoramic View Monitor. Averaging 43+ MPG City/Hwy driving and I had the oil and filter changed at 1,000 miles for my own peace of mind. Just For Reference: I was not going to wait one-year or 10,000 miles to have the factory installed oil & filter changed. And, I shall be changing the Oil (Liqui Moly 0W-16 Spec V) and Toyota filter every 5,000 miles from now on. Like Scotty Kilmer says, oil & filters are cheap, engines are expensive. LOL 🤔
I have this model. I've owned Mercedes, Infinity and must say this ES300h luxury is so S M O O T H I have to look in the mirror to see if Carlos Santana is about to start strumming ;-)
