32,220
Published 2022-07-30
Today we take a look at the facelifted Lexus ES300h (hybrid), a mid-sized luxury sedan introduced into a dying car market segment. But can it compete with the likes of the Mercedes E-Class and BMW 5 series, considering it is HALF THE PRICE?!? Let's talk about it!

Here on Matt Brand Cars, I review every new car on the market. We are a community of sauce givers and we'd love for you to subscribe and join our community!
I give every car "the sauce", test their 0-100km/h, and see whether or not they are worth purchasing and spending your hard-earned cash on.
From time to time, I'll also buy a weird and wacky car and take you on the journey with me!
I release videos every Sunday 6pm AEST / AEDT with the latest new car reviews! Your feedback is important, so if you want to see me do something new or something you would like me to change let me know!
Got a question for me? Leave it in the comments! I try and respond to them all!

had a 2014 es300H for a work vehicle a few years back. The best Comfortable car I have ever driven! was it fast? No but I didnt care! work paid for it and it was awesome! ( now work has given us Aurions which are nice but not as nice as the lexus )

Love your videos mate. Just discovered your channel; been Bing watching
-
Nice review Matt. You should try and get hold of the Hyundai Sonata N line to review. I just bought one and it’s great ride and value for money.

“Pooing in my pants” 😂 crossing sourcy corners

Nice video
-
Hell yeah! I´ve got mine last year and didn´t regret my choice. Good looking, comfy and not often to see the same car on the road :)
-
Great video, the ES is a quality car! It is funny, the ES is almost a flop in the UK next to the 5 series and A6's. I do really like the clock, I test drove a F sport for my channel not that long ago.

I'd upgrade my Camry hybrid SL for this, based on the interior alone. Also the JBL sound is just average on the Camry too.

We have a Lexus UX. We had to nominate the base "Luxury" model to avoid the stupid Sport gimmicks. I don't understand why Lexus bothers with any sporty pretense when there are so many better cars for that out there. The sport settings are stupid and whoever thought piping fake engine noises in to cover up the CVT is a straight up idiot! A Lexus is supposed to be refined, silent, smooth and they are in Luxury trim. If you are considering any Lexus, do yourself a favour and try a Luxury trim along side the F Sport. The F Sport is a clown car in comparison, right down to the big corny F on the steering wheel. For every car in the range there is a Luxury model lurking underneath, all add ons are just marketing junk that detracts from the true essence of what Lexus is; indulgence. If you feel the need for the F Sport just get a Maloo ute or something. It will run rings around the Lexus. Having said that, there is vacant place in my shed for a LC500 for when the economy crashes and their value declines to fair value. Because it is a great sports car? Don't be daft; because it is beautiful and it is a Lexus so won't just fall apart sitting there.

Great review! If the Ford Everest has dodgy quality issues I reckon you've sold me a Lexus
-
And its that comfy without aluminum suspension arms no german can be at the same level of comfort with a similar underbody structure
-
I hope you know it’s not technically a “cvt transmission” in a traditional sense. They only share the actual letters as “cvt” but it’s completely not the same thing.
-
love the ES hybrids, so smooth
-
Is this car still made in Japan? Isn’t it finally assembled in Kentucky?
-
The Camry SL Hybrid has come a long way, and it's a pretty hard sell for almost double the price I think. It does sell well to fleets for chauffeured cars as it's a big, luxurious car and pretty frugal on fuel for its size
-
I dont understand and hope someone can explain, Why does it have paddle shifters when it is a CVT?
-
Why it's so successful??? Because it's a LEXUS..... yeah, the sales volume Range Rover or Jaguar can only drool over..
-
Looks KING in RED (dark cars are boring)

Oh Matt, where is your cardigan? The door bins don't need to take young buck Jacob's big water bottle, people who buy these don't want a big water bottle as it just means another bathroom stop on the way to see the grandies. Did you find somewhere to store the nursing home parking permit and the tissues to wipe up the dribble?
