The 2023 Lexus ES 300h F-Sport Is A Lexus Sedan At Its Best With An Electrified Flair 

Honestly, as much as all the fun cars are, the ES is the car I'd daily commute in forever. I have an 08 and want to upgrade to this one. I've had the 08 since 2011 and its the best car I've ever owned. Comfortable, reliable and as luxurious as you really need for a daily driver.

My neighbor has a loaded '23 ES 350 Ultra Luxury. I can't find a single fault with the car. In that price range nothing from Europe in in the same league. And she put a bit over 200k miles on her last one with zero issues.

Great car. I bought one. 2023 with same exact specs but white and black interior. Great car with enough power and insane MPG. Love this car!

Nice review! This car is for someone who wants great MPG and comfort over the Camry with the same drivetrain. I see alot of comments about the V6 being more fun, which of course, but that's not who this car is aimed at. I could see older buyers going for this, because they see the Camry as basic and this ES as luxury, and they have the money for a Lexus. And they get a few other nice features.

I have a 23 ES350 V6 base trim. Love it. After 8 years with a 2014.5 Camry SE, with a harsh, stiff riding suspension, I knew an F Sport handling trim was not for me.

Absolutely hands-down most thorough review I’ve seen. I’m now going to check out his others. Thank you!

Hopefully 2024 gets AWD w/ the hybrid set up when it’s redesigned.

Excellent Review! Definitely answered every question I had thank you!

Always a very sensible and concise review on worthwhile cars. Nice!

Beautiful car- one of my favorites. Great review as always.

Been waiting for this for a long time and it was worth it

Have had 2019 F Sport and 2022 ES 350 F Sport..actually fun to drive with the V6. Nice review as always 😊

Had a 2022 ES300h UL(Nov 2021-Nov 2022). Very nice and a great cruiser. The ride and quietness is very good but, it does depend on the road surface! 95% of the time the car was a pleasure. Lexus/Toyota hybrids are the best of the best! Over the year in PA, I averaged 44mpg. Dead on with what it’s rated for. I drove around town 95% of the time and only wished the HV battery would have been bigger to drive more in EV only mode. I switched to an NX450h+ and I’m beyond thrilled. The ability to drive entirely in EV mode(38-42 miles) is amazing. At least for me the NX450h+ is a way better fit for my driving commute. Lexus/Toyota makes amazing hybrid vehicles and it’s finally great to see them selling now like they should have years ago. They only get better and more efficient with each redesign.

Mr. Redline, I have my checklist, and it's not short either. Now, I don't care how you"feel" about the car. Nothing personal, but I just don't care. I want the stats. I want the data, and then I can make my own decisions. Well,you covered every single point/stat that I wanted covered. And that's why I keep coming back, to see more reviews. Outstanding job there, Mr. Redline.

I love my 07 ES which was nearly $50K new and purchased with 18K miles on it 3+ years ago for $14,750, and will probably be upgrading to a new ES every 5-8 years or so for the foreseeable future. They're a ridiculous bargain used.

Great Video!!!!👍👍👍👍

If toyota/lexus gives the ES the RX500h powertrain, will be a home-run

I love our 2019 ES 300H …. so comfortable so reliable

Its a great vehicle looks sporty love the color aswell

3:34 The seventh (current) generation ES never came with fog lights. They were removed when it was redesigned.

Getting real tired of black wheels. Great review, though.

That’s exactly what I’m looking for, more physical buttons and less touchscreen everything

My 2008 Lexus es350 180k going strong

How does the handling and performance of this compare to the NX350h? Seems like 0-60 is similar but I wish Lexus offered an F package for the 350h

Fancy Camry, …….I’m still missing the GS. 🪦 RIP bro😢

It’s a sleek hybrid sedan!

I saw this car in same color today on the freeway on my way home. It looked bigger in person and really nice in motion

Wow, the Camry XSE has ambient lighting...that is odd that the Lexus ES does not!

I really enjoy these reviews, but I wish they would focus on the trim levels that are most commonly purchased which are not the F sport.

Nice review and I think my 2018 accord sport 1.5 could keep up with this Lexus lol

I have the '23 ES Ultra Luxury Hybrid, the best vehicle I've ever owned!

Can you do 2023 toyota rav4 hybrid xse?

My husband has a 2018 Lexus es 350 and I have a 2020 Cadillac ct5 both beautiful! But Lexus drive is surprisingly much smoother more refined better build quality and overall everything in his Lexus works flawless

I use to think only old folk buy the ES, but as a young millennial, this one of quite handsome

@Sofyan, this car definitely does not do 0-60 in 7.3 sec, the best I could get was 7.9 to 8 sec, right in line with what Lexus has on its website. Were you going slightly downhill in your testing?

I wonder if it has enough power on hills on the freeway. Great review.

2:12 could you elaborate on this please? @Redline Reviews is reg or prem gas recommended since it has the same as camry

No other manufacturer can compete with Lexus quality wise. The fact that these vehicles sell so well despite older tech is a testament to what makes them so special.

12:10 this car does have ambient lightning inside the footwells that is a soft white LED ambient lighting.

is there any rent car for this car?

This gen ES has aged really well but this trim is making the ES something it isn't.

F sport contradicts what ES is all and always have been about . Comfort & plain

Mechanical engineering project manager here. My neighbor has a loaded ES 350 ultra luxury and it so spectacular. For those who have the ES 300 H F sport, I have two question for you. 1 What is your MPG average do you get the actual 44-45 MPG? I like that you can put 87. I love your review very thorough. Side note for a Camry owners coming to the Es, you get 13 gallons which is 1-2 short I believe the Camry gives you 15 gallons. Looks lien that FOB key is funnily one flaw. At least we can access it with a smart phone I like the Iridium silver it’s mixed in with some white Seems like you get 218 HP which i in between the 250 and the 350. I also dig the LED lights The 0-60 8.1 seconds is not horrible but again we don’t expect this to be a sports car. So looks lien it is 3 inches bigger than the Camry and almost the same size minus 4 inches in height. I line the F sport package and same color you are showing my next car. I will get it a few years used to save up and get ultra luxury F sport for slightly under $40,000 I like the big LS and IS that offers more size and the IS offers more Hp but the ES is the perfect middle of the road compromise. Also, I don’t think you need AWD or the 250 but you can get it

Does Lexus even make a es 300h with sport design and no handling?? The site says yes but a dealership said no. 😮

Lexus es is my dream car

The only way I would consider this is if they made an estate version.

What you can recommend this ES or VW Arteon in top trim?

Nice car

Drove one of these 2023 models as a courtesy car a few months back. Honestly I thought compared to my IS3OOh, it felt considerably slower (especially the in-gear acceleration) and handled like a blancmange, but it wasn't the FSport, so there is that... Bugger all driving dynamics compared to the IS. Also, I think it's very poor that they haven't given this car more power now. This should at least have the 350h powertrain from the new NX now and/or a plug-in variant. It's shameful Lexus haven't updated this powertrain yet, they're cheaping out big time!

Top 3 vehicles lexus makes.

🔥

I feel like fully digital gauge clusters just look cheap. The cluster in this car is pretty good, fully digital just doesn't do it for me. Whatever in a Toyota, but Lexus is supposed to be more premium. I'd rather see this gauge cluster stay.

Wow 50 grand in a world of high inflation seems like a terrible deal

This gen ES is nice looking, unfortunately, unlike the GSs, it is FWD instead of RWD, which is a bummer

beautiful car oveal i really like lexus but if i buy a car i rather go with camry or Highlander GM making good cars also like cevy blazer or ford

The Dash still has a Flinstones vibe with the two knobs up there 😂 😞

FYI: Lexus won’t give you a pano on an ES “F Sport” whether it’s a Hybrid or not. I’m guessing for body rigidity issues… but I think they should offer it.

Nice Toyota swag.

Lexus ES is the best sedan car. Nobody can complain about it it’s just the best middle east car even in my country.

One thing I realised in cars You can have 3 out of the 4 in a car Reliability Technology Comfort Price Pick 3.

Our family had the new IS350 and I purchased the new ES300h. The new ES300h is the better car by far.

It has some Camry parts and bits inside it but much nicer than a Camry to me

Its a luxurious car for old people because its slow and the design isn't aggressive. Otherwise very nice luxurious and reliable sedan.

The naturally aspirated V6 is the best on the ES if you value reliability and a smooth ride with power.

Greetings I am a mechanical engineering project manager and let me tell you I would take personally to hit on the MPG and get the ES 350 F sport The V6 is time tested and true: the Hybrid will get you good LS gas but the engines are problematic and with 215 HP you are. It getting any power. The ES 300 H will go 0.60 in 8.1 seconds the E 350 base will do 6.5 second. F sport makes handling smoother and give it the sporty feel. No one will mistake this for a Maserati or a Porsche but you get to put 87 octane regular gas and get good mpg

If they put the dark chrome on the rear of the car, why not around the windows too? That's a rather stupid choice. Should be the dark chrome everywhere, even the badges.

Best in class 💙

I like a lot about this channel but I will never understand your fixation with Door and horn sounds I personally don’t think that gives any impression of quality either way.

The body lines on a lexus always catch my eye.

The car is beautiful but definitely need more power and 112mph top speed would annoy me.

I'd rather the es 350 fully f-sported out. Better exhaust note.

I love lexus but the only competition it wins with german cars is reliability. If lexus added AWD with ambient lighting would do great sales

Lexus needs another midsize sedan more Powerful like 500 horsepower Engine to Compete withBMW and a Redesigned LS 400 sedan to many SUV s

38mpg is because of the cold weather, you’ll get 48 when it’s warmer outside. Trust me.

Naveen Alert!!! 😂😂 Honestly can't wait to see where they go with the ES. It's super comfortable as it is and I love the design. And no I'm not hoping for a v6 or v8, get real people. This is where the industry is headed. Great review again!! 👏

I'll stick with my Camry TRD.

We are not only looking for aesthetics, but we are also looking for PERFORMANCE (400HP minimum) those Mpg talks/comps are still boring unless you’re 45+

the ES is build on the outgoing Avalon platform. Not he Camry's. There is many inaccurate comparisons.

The 2.5 no hybrid is a joke in this segment. Hoping Toyota amps it up next Gen especially with their current hybrid technology

112 Mph is that a joke?

it’s about 4 (four) years if you do the math….

Wish you’d compare it to actual segment competitors as opposed to pointing out the relationship with Toyota models

It's a spruced up Toyota Camry for much more money

I think that the new fully loaded for US $ 38 - 40k 2023 Honda Accord Hybrid is better as this car.

2023 Lexus ES300h Hybrid F-Sport 2.5L Inline-4 2-Electric Motor E-CVT FWD Handling Package Sedan!

No rear view camera mirror, no 360-degree camera view, no massage seats, no pano sunroof, no AWD. But it's considered a luxury car?

A sport package on a fwd almost 8 second car with a cvt is really..... Dumb

It's a fancy 'nutless' Camry...

Great daily driving land-boat. Though wouldn’t opt for f-sport for more comfort vs sport suspension *here before naveenthekoreanmachine touting Korean supremacy

younger buyers? but the car price is not young🤣😂

Idk why they put sport in the name. Especially if camry is quicker

Lost me at electrified power train, give me a v8 buds

Good for airport taxi

What this video told me is that Lexus is sticking with it's "winning" formula. Boring, staid, reliable and fuel efficiency. The ES, like many of their models in their line-up, has never been an exciting or fun car to drive. This car screams " senior citizen on the way back to the subdivision after grocery shopping". They don't even attempt to make this fun. But this has worked for them for decades so why change now.

Lexus is so lazy with that interior. Genesis will out do them

Beautiful car but the engine noise is the stuff of nightmares

Fake leather in a Lexus? My 21 Accord, has real leather seats.🤷🏾‍♂️

8 seconds to 60mph. That's all I had to hear😂

Just my opinion but that interior looks like a after thought don't like it. But that's just me don't like the interior styling or color. Also the fact that everyone wants to keep putting dang cvt transmission in everything is terrible I don't like cvt and don't buy anything with one. Some are ok I guess so no hybrids for me or EVs our country and power grid doesn't need them. But everybody has an opinion and there preference.

Not sure why they bother with F-Sport on this car. It's FWD and NO ONE is buying this car to actually drive it. This is the ultimate commuter car, the best Buick GM never built. The E250 version is a cruel joke.
