This epic creation is in its seven generations having been introduced in 1989 and precisely for the American market. In its refurbished form, it will serve you in more luxurious ways and be certain to have lots of fun.
In as much as the hybrid powertrain follows the pattern of several other elements of the car in terms of updates, it still carries some lovely Lexus and Toyota combinations. The internal-combustion engine is now enhanced with a pair of electric motors, making it possible to have the car powered on electric power alone.
Electric power is supplied by a 1.6-kWh battery pack that is placed below the rear floor, allowing the car to have better rear-seat space. Lexus engineers have a soft spot for the nickel-metal hydride and shunning the lithium-ion. Their argument is that the older system is more reliable.
The interior is thoroughly worked to retain indoor ambiance and filter as much from the outer world as possible. As such, it is easy to hold a noble conversation inside the Lexus ES 300.
This also helps to make the audio system useful and you only need very low decibels as you listen to your favorite podcast the 10-speaker audio system provided by Pioneer. The screen is 7.0 TFT well centered and featuring easy controls. On this car, Lexus was keen to include Apple CarPlay and Amazon Alexa capability.
Upgraded safety standards are a must-go zone for manufacturers these days and Lexus has added pedestrian and bicyclist detection including other important measures including lane departure warning, adaptive cruise control, and automated emergency.
