The Lexus ES Hybrid is Built with Drivers in Mind

Lexus has generously outfitted every ES Hybrid with a variety of attractive features, including:

• Fast-acting, dual-zone automatic climate control
• A power moonroof with expansive views
• A color-keyed rear spoiler that’s distinctively Lexus
• Smart access with push-button start/stop.

Entertainment on the Go

Other standard features in every ES Hybrid include a sharp and immersive ten-speaker premium sound system. It also has an infotainment dashboard with Apple CarPlay, Android Auto, and Amazon Alexa compatibility. 

There are more ways than ever to control your drive, too. Access your favorite entertainment on the go with Bluetooth and USB smartphone connectivity. Control your infotainment device with touch controls or voice commands for distraction-free driving.

Smartphone App Compatibility

Your Lexus ES will also feature compatibility with the Lexus smartphone app. This is your gateway to remote start and vehicle health reports with detailed data and service schedules. If your app identifies a problem with your ES Hybrid, you can immediately contact an automotive service team to get it taken care of.

The Height of Safety

What’s more, the Lexus ES Hybrid includes Lexus Safety System+3.0. This is a suite of active safety tech designed to keep you and all passengers safe from collisions. The included backup camera is another excellent safety feature. The Lexus ES Hybrid is one of the safest LEVs on the road.

Affordable Luxury in All Trims

The ES Hybrid is available in five body styles, each with a distinct level of refinement. They also come with extra packages and options to build your Lexus to your exact preferences. The standard model is the ES 300h, which includes the standard interior and features described above.

Increasing Levels of Luxury

The next trim is the ES 300h Luxury, which includes all standard features. It also possesses added comforts like a 14-way power-adjustable driver seat, a perforated leather-trimmed interior, and heated and ventilated front seats. 

Technology and comfort combine with the driver’s seat power cushion extender and Lexus Memory System. You even access superior safety technology, like a blind spot monitor with rear cross-traffic alert and intuitive parking assist with auto-braking.

The Height of Lexus Elegance

The Lexus ES 300h Ultra Luxury is Lexus at its best. It starts with all of the above Luxury model features. Plus, it has tech features like a navigation system with a 12.3-inch color multimedia display, and more. Safety improves even further with the panoramic view monitor and rear pedestrian detection. 

The interior is upgraded with a perforated semi-aniline leather-trimmed interior, improved sunshades, and so much more.

High-End Performance

The Lexus ES 350h F Sport Handling and F Sport Design models mark the higher performance of the ES. The F Sport Performance model comes with enhanced performance features, such as custom drive modes, adaptive variable suspension, and F Sport suspension tuning. A heated leather steering wheel and windshield wiper de-icers are also added to the F Sport line. 2024 also introduced the F Sport Design and F Sport Handing models, which are offered in all three powertrains. The F Sport Handling package includes Custom and Sport+ drive modes, adaptive dampers, aluminum interior trim and pedals, and park assist. 

Added Technology and Connectivity

Additional technology options for the ES Hybrid are the height of luxury and convenience. These features include:

• Premium triple-beam LED headlamps
• 10.2 inch Head Up display that streams driving data directly onto the lower portion of your windshield
• Wireless charging helps you stay connected on the go.

Superior Sound and Safety

For even more luxury at any trim level, upgrade the sound system to the available Mark Levinson 17 speaker. This speaker possesses 1,800-watt PurePlay Premium Surround Sound. You can also upgrade the Lexus safety suite. There are so many more ways to customize the ES Hybrid, including an array of exterior and cabin design features.

Driving the Lexus ES Hybrid

Never compromising on performance and reliability, Lexus has designed the ES Hybrid as a prime example of efficiency and performance. The lightweight battery is strategically placed in the vehicle’s center for ultimate weight distribution. This provides a low center of gravity for excellent on-road agility and handling.

The Lexus ES Hybrid saves fuel while producing up to 203 horsepower. Electronic continuously variable transmission shifts smoothly for satisfying acceleration and a pleasant driving experience. Meanwhile, the specially designed suspension in the ES provides a distinctively smooth, comfortable ride. 

Despite how well it drives, the ES never sacrifices fuel economy. It earned ratings of up to 43 miles per gallon in the city and 44 miles per gallon on the highway.

Is the Lexus ES a Plug-in Hybrid? And Other Answers

As of the 2024 model year, there isn’t a Lexus ES plug-in hybrid. (See the Lexus NX for a plug-in hybrid model from Lexus.) However, being a non-plug-in makes it even easier for you to make the switch from a traditional gas-powered vehicle to the ES Hybrid. It combines the best features of a gas engine and electric motor for ultimate performance, convenience, and efficiency all at once.
