Reviewer score 52% (normalized by Neofiliac)The economy-focused hybrid has its merits: it’s cheaper to buy than a full plug-in hybrid, doesn’t require messing around with cables and should be endlessly reliable. But in an otherwise capable luxury car the expected level of effortless performance and refinement is lacking. For traffic-clogged traffic, its simplicity is ideal. We’d opt for a base spec with a Takumi pack rather than a fully-loaded Takumi model.
Pros
- Comfortable to drive
- Excellent infotainment system
Cons
- Lack of refinement
- Noisy CVT gearbox

Reviewer score 34% (normalized by Neofiliac)The Lexus ES has to compete with multiple executive car alternatives that focus on a sporty driving experience. If solely judged on this criterion, the Japanese saloon is sorely out-performed. That said, executive cars are assessed on a number of other key areas, such as refinement, comfort and interior quality. It is these areas where the ES claws back ground.
Pros
- High-quality interior
- Good fuel economy
Cons
- Only one powertrain available
- Only four-wheel drive

Reviewer score 69% (normalized by Neofiliac)The 2019 Lexus ES offers one of the most comfortable cabins in the business. With the hybrid battery sitting underneath the back seat, the ES 300h offers the same 16.7 cubic feet of trunk space as its ES 350 kin. As great as the ES is, its poor infotainment interface alone could be a deal-breaker.
Pros
- Sleek styling
- Comfortable to drive
- Excellent fuel economy
Cons
- Poor infotainment
- Lack of standard tech

Reviewer score 57% (normalized by Neofiliac)Lexus' second-gen ES 300h lives up to this standard Luxury trim. The aerodynamic lines and stiff platform of the ES suggest a dynamic ride. But while it delivers smoothness, the 300h isn't very sporty. The hybrid system performed efficiently, with seamless regenerative braking.
Pros
- Sleek styling
- Comfortable ride
- Excellent fuel economy
Cons
- Not very sporty
- Lack of driver assist features
