I was driven in new A6, drove G30 and I drive E300de 2022 currently. A6 is expensive VW, G30 is better than the E class. For the first time in my life I tried ES300h two weeks ago. Now I am probably buying it this or next week in Ultra Luxury equipment because 'OMG!'. German cars can't even get close too how everything is made in that car. Owning 4 toyotas and when I saw the quality and now experienced how the Lexus drives, it is time for my first Lexus ever.

Number 8 and possibly the most relevant compared to its rivals, especially the Germans: RELIABILITY!! Stunning car with truly amazing quality, durability and reliability for a very reasonable price compared to its rivals!! This is the clear winner for me!!

Dang compared to all the car enthusiast reviews where performance and numbers is all that seems to matter, this felt like a refreshing and beautiful take on a car review. Almost like a nat geo doc

Great review and couldn't agree more. Once you own a Lexus you never leave the brand.

I agree. I own this car, it's amazing. Do yourself a favor and get the hybrid. It's the best luxury hybrid you can buy

Totally agree, I’m 33 years old and just bought a 22 ES, wish I bought a Lexus 8 years ago when I bought my first new vehicle, can’t believe what I was missing. It’s def. A magic carpet ride quality! Prob will never leave this brand now….

Having purchased a 2019 Model 2 months ago, I agree with your comments, excellent review. Traded in my 2016 RX for this,so glade I did especially with currant petrol prices,truly a magic carpet ride,so quiet and comfortable on any surface,the fuel economy for a car of this size is amazing, thrash it and it is difficult to get under 35 Miles/gallon, smooth driving on Motorway way averaging in 50s,drove an hour on an A road 40-50 Miles per hour,my RX managed 35 MPJ,got 61 MPG on the ES, the hybrid system is so much better and smoother, the battery is in use a lot more even up to 50MPH,if any one has any doubts about how good this is the watch some of the reviews from other motoring channels like Savagees,etc about the ES300H. The Auto setting on the ventilation system will detect pollution ex driving behind a car that is blowing smoke,will switch the air intake to recirculating air then switch back to fresh air when the air is clear!. Disappointed by the lack of rear folding seats which limit practicality but other than that a truly Amazing car .

Test drove this a while back. It was a very good car. I find the steering nicely weighted and the ride comfort exceptional. The engine refinement was so so. In the end I went for the RX 450h as the V6 sounded better and there was more boot capacity Lexus make great cars and the good news is they're getting better and better at it.

Yep, I got mine in mid April 2023. It's the ES300h Ultra Luxury Trim. It's the Ultra Luxury trim, which is what we wanted and is the highest trim for the ES hybrid. 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 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 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 on KZfaq, oil & filters are cheap, engines are expensive. LOL

Man I wish I found this channel sooner, the only reviewer I've ever seen to give a real honest review on lexus products. Thank you, and yes I drove it too... Best in class for sure!!! Going to recommend this channel to anyone curious about Lexus.

for active noise cancellation, it is not sending negative frequency, but it measures the amplitude in time domain, and play the exactly negative amplitude of the waveform, such that you got almost 0 waveform in total.

Yes, I’m in America and my high is 6’6” and I have ES350 F sport and it is súper confortable for me.

What a gorgeous car. Love the colour and being a Lexus you know you'll never have any issues.

Just got the ES. I'm so happy with my choice!! Great comfort and refinement. You just feel so special. I had the BMW 320D GT. Nice car, but a mechanics nightmare!

How refreshing to hear a car reviewer who actually likes a Lexus. He should have also mentioned that You'll only see your dealer when it comes round to having it serviced..

Have one on order. Even as a self obsessed EV fanatic, I couldn’t deny the value this car brings. It literally is the best/most car you can get for your money - and still economical too. A Lexus that competes with a 5 series, E class & A6 for the price of a 3 series, C class or A4? No brainer.

Great review. From what a couple of owners have told me (who have owned other luxury marques) you can probably add superior reliability to the list. I know that's subjective anyway, and any well kept and maintained vehicle should be ok, but Lexus / Toyota are pretty good.

If it is as 'boring' as family it is as secure and comfortable and homely as family. This car rocks - quietly !😅

I bought this car after watching your video, and your hair is lovely 😊

I love everything with this brand

Excellent review, seriously looking at one of these at the minute to replace my dirty diesel. Just need to look at one in the flesh.

The most underrated vehicle very exquisite you would never know it’s as nice as it is until you experienced it

Great review as always, nice car

You don't have to use the wireless charger in order to charge the phone. If you plug it up for using Apple Car Play, the phone charges.

Great job as always Howard.

Nothing like a Lexus sir, Proud owner of ES 350 F sport Abbas from Canada :)

Wow, good to see a non biased test .

Only 2-way adjustable lumbar support, unless you choose the whopping Ultra Luxury package. 4-way lumbar would be nice in base model.

I love the fact that the Lexus is more rare.

Okay, ES it is. Thanks for a nice review 👍

#8 Reliability Love this car. Excellent review!

Excellent review as per usual, that’ll be my next car, my present car is a Lexus is300h fsport. I’m wondering are the seats in this ES real leather or the Nulux faux seats.

An excellent review. Thank you.

What you are getting is also reliability and resale value.

Love Lexus ES!!

I would agree with you about that car , and I will put you best in class auto reviewer 🚙✅👌

Great review. I am purchasing one this year.

Excellent review, thank you

Currently drive a GS F Sport, got lent an ES whilst my GS was in for a lengthy repair (Lexus driver crashed my car, long story). The ES is not as good as the GS. GS feels like a luxury car made for a budget. The ES feels like a cheaper car with fancy touches. If you look you will see big cost cutting c.w. the GS. Lift the boot lid and you see the upper boot lining has gone. I know it's not just lexus but the new auto on lane assist is a pain

Great content, I enjoyed it. Thanks!

Just found and subscribed to your channel Howard, brilliant review on a superb car🙏🙏 I’m actually thinking of buying this car, is there a chance you can do a full in-depth review 🤞🤞 I was looking at a Jaguar xe but the Lexus has taken me away from it. A beautiful car from Lexus.😍😍 Paul 🇬🇧

Test drove the 2022 ES Takumi, Didn't even bother to go look at the Germans!... just put the order into Lexus.

EXCELLENT. REVIEW‼️

Great video! 👏👏

If only had a hatchback - I’d buy in a minute

Mate! You just sold me one

I've driven it you can still feel the engine running they should be using a V6 it's far smoother

Loved this review will definitely follow you!

my biggest gripe about the clock is that i can’t see it as it’s blocked by the steering wheel

Wish the screen was bigger

D : it is super reliable

True luxury is dependability and you can always depend on Japanese build quality, and reliability.

May I ask which colour is it? It looks great, is it Sonic Platinum?

A luxury car should be a hybrid, full electric, or naturally aspirated v6 or v8. I don’t consider any car with 4 cylinder, especially with a turbo, a luxury car. The problem is that great engines aren’t being improved on anymore. They’re like sedans - Zoomers are sending them away.

Do Honda HR-V and later this year the new 2022 Honda Civic Hatcback ;) I want to hear your thoughts :)

I have a is300h f sport thinking of upgrading to this car

I'm in the market for something to replace my jag xf s portfolio 2009 . this is a contender & also alpha Romeo, im bored of SUV's they disgust me help

Help me..f sport or luxury line?! Which seats are better? Does the adaptive suspenssion is better on the f sport? Now when i dont need more a child buggy i would sell the rav4 and change to lexus of course,but which one drives and feels better..lexues es or rx..come on people help me and sorry for bad englisch 😊

Hello there, is this car good for airport transfers and taxi ? I'm going to replace my expensive repair billed Mercedes E class to this ? Only worried about boot space.

Resembles Matt Watson

VOTE PARTY: LEXUS ES VS BMW 320D?

Gonna get me one once TerraLUNA goes to the moon…

is the es 300h good for grand touring?

Too bad no thigh extender in f sport

Nice job. Don’t shoot the messenger, but your written mpg is off. You stated it correctly, it’s just not correct in the write up.

Own it. Love it.

You need a db meter in your review

I am gonna change my middle name to ES 😁

Shame this review is of the pre-facelift version

Acquired taste? lol nope. MOST people love it

they should take your height into consideration if you are 6 ft 8 then you should be able to order you a car that is for someone 6 ft 8. we have 3d printing now it can't be that hard. they're job is no longer difficult. what are they waiting for? Do it.

You forgot one more. It takes regular gas!!!!!

Old men car though, it needs a redesign badly. Went for the NX instead for the sharp redesign.

Get a goddamn 4k camera man its 2022 why are you filming in 1080P????

That CVT box shits all over this car yet this guy thinks it's the best car out there.... well done...

Mercedes are overpriced .

“That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved.” -‭‭Romans‬ ‭10‬:‭9‬

It looks premium, but it lacks a bit of *classiness* that you get in a Mercedes

5 series is still the benchmark,lexus is just a better made camry with exorbitant price

Totally bias review. Why don't you just say you have been paid by Lexus for this advert. The Mercedes, BMW and Audi blow this away in every area.
