The Lexus ES slides under the radar a little bit because of the attention the smaller IS and larger LS get. This is still a luxurious sedan and these optional triple beam LED headlights are pretty slick. Interior lighting is better than previous lexus models, but still nothing fancy. I hope you get an idea of what it's like to live with the 2021 Lexus ES at night!

Turning the steering wheel left or right will activate a side LED head lamp to illuminate either side depending on whichever way car is turning...the respective lamp only turns on when either you turn steering wheel or use turn signal signal ...very cool feature

@baoanprounited 3 года назад

I have this car, the 350 one, Ultra Luxury, and I can verify that the side mirrors r auto dim, its just not aggressive as other brand/model. When the lights from vehicle behind is REALLY bright, thats when it kicks in, kinda make you feel natural as opposed to the green dimming. You have to drive it long enough to notice these subtle things. Thats what I like bout Lexus.

@PrimeAutotainment 3 года назад

Hey thanks fir letting me know! I didn’t see anything on any of Lexus Information about dimming side mirrors and never noticed a difference while driving or an actual visible outline of the electrochroamatic function so that’s wild. Sorry I missed that. You’ve got yourself a nice car 👍

@baoanprounited 3 года назад

@@PrimeAutotainment Lexus puts a lot of hidden tech in the car, like the highway auto passing (when you have the turn signal to the left, the car automatically knows u want to pass and auto accelerate). That feature is only available in the Toyota Safely Sense 2.5+, but Lexus puts it in the LSS 2.0. I was surprised when I discovered that!

@Karma-hy6ki Год назад

Hey Aiden can you please tell me if the FWD is manageable? If you notice a diff between FWD and AWD? That’s my only issue with the car and I’m hoping the difference isn’t much for revalue everyday driving

Such a beautiful car. That color combo is definitely Lexus’ best. You’re right about the pearl white paint Lexus uses. I had a pearl white RX330 years ago, and I remember looking at it at night when the lights were shining on it and thinking that it looked so deep and silky, you could almost just dive into it.

@roochiecooch 3 года назад

That dip you’re mentioning toward the middle of the video, is meant to stop you from blinding drivers in front of you. Otherwise that would be perfectly lined up with where there driver rear view mirror is (in the US anyway). It’s something I’ve noticed many more cars are starting to do. It means they can have the rest of the light aimed higher without blinding anyone. That last part is debatable. Since automakers don’t have to comply with any aiming rules really. They simply have recommended guidelines. So you know many of them probably aim them a tad higher than they should be. The result is owners think they’re lights are just that tiny bit more amazing because they illuminate a bit further out In low beam mode. Still most are aimed well. I just notice that Nissan compared to most, aim their lights higher than anyone in the US Market.

8:30 that light is used in a lot of cars. And only turns on when your headlights are on. The entire purpose is so it's a subtle way to see your shifter at night. It wasn't designed to provide esthetics lol, cause if you did need extra light to see you'd just use your dome lights.

The owners manual for the 2021 Lexus ES 250 and 350 state that auto dimming exterior mirrors are standard on this vehicle and are activated when you push the green light button on the interior auto dimming mirror is this vehicle that you test it doesn’t have it it could be a defect from the factory it also states when you put the car in reverse the mirrors tilt down automatically for better visibility do you remember seeing this in your review?

@hodb3906 Год назад

Mercedes overdoes it. You are inside a car, not a christmas tree

@tonysterbenc Год назад

I think it wasn't so much a cheapout here as Lexus/Toyota's natural conservatism. I can almost picture the committee meeting debate between the ones who insisted they had to have the feature the Germans have, vs. the ones who insisted they would distract the driver. Typical Japanese compromise outcome: Include them but make them so dim you needn't have bothered.

@tomstamatakos8027 2 года назад

Hi Nolan, looking hard at ES 300h right now, so this was a great night review. Greatly appreciate all your comments and information. I though the acceleration run you did up to 55 was pretty decent for a hybrid IMO - again this is not the sport package but I clocked you from 15mph to 55mph in 7 seconds flat so not bad for 44mpgs in a luxury car!! I'm curious how much worse the standard headlights are vs. the led adaptive lights seems kingd of steep $1500 charge for that options but not sure if it's worth it. Can you review a normal ES car (hybrid or not) with the standard lights too? - Thanks!

@WilC379 Год назад

This isn't the 300H, this is the regular 350.

@tomstamatakos8027 Год назад

@@WilC379 Right, but the headlights would be the same, just different power train.

@Hate---Love 10 месяцев назад

Since this is the AWD, it is safe to assume that it is the ES 250 as they offer AWD only on the 250. So this definitely doesn't have the 44MPG you mentioned. The hybdin one does (ES 300H). But I get your point. Personally I would recommend you to safe up the 1500€ since as you already know Lexus cars don't break up, don't need maintenance like many other cars and you can easily own one for 15-30 years or more if you do the basic maintenance required here and there so think of it this way. You are buying a new car, one of the newer models, you surely want to keep it for years and years right? In that case, the 1500€ is definitely worth saving as it will help you and be a great investment to you in the long run

Which one would be a better choice in terms of keeping it for the next 15-20 years? Es350 or es300h?

@PrimeAutotainment 3 года назад

I would probably say the 350. There are some Toyota and Lexus hybrids from a long time ago still out there running but I would guess the life expectancy is definitely better with the non hybrid model - primarily because if possible hybrid battery degradation or eventual failure. I would still expect the hybrid to last a long time but I’d go 350
