2016 Lexus ES 300h review

1. Hybrid propulsion 

Trying to go further between fill ups? You’ll love the propulsion system on the 2016 Lexus ES 300h. A 2.5L four-cylinder engine works alongside an electric motor to generate 200 hp. With that propulsion system, the 2016 ES 300h gets an EPA-estimated 40 mpg combined fuel economy.

2. Electric-only drive mode 

If you’ve always been curious about going electric but struggle with range anxiety, the 2016 Lexus ES 300h offers a great learning opportunity. For short stints at lower speeds–like a city grocery store run or school pickup–the ES 300h can be driven in all-electric mode. There are also two other driving modes: Sport, for increased acceleration, and ECO, for day-to-day driving.  

3. Plenty of passenger space 

Driving your colleagues to work or picking up your teenager’s friends isn’t a problem in the 2016 Lexus ES 300h thanks to the spacious cabin. There’s nearly 42 inches of legroom in the front and 40 inches in the back seat of the 2016 Lexus ES 300h. You can even install rear-facing car seats without anyone feeling cramped.  

4. Driver assist features 

For long commutes or drives to visit family, you’ll appreciate the available driver assist features on the 2016 Lexus ES 300h. The available driver assist package offers lane departure warning, emergency braking, and more. Adaptive cruise control, part of that package, makes highway driving a bit easier.  

5. Upscale touches 

The 2016 Lexus ES 300h comes with plenty of high-end touches, like the standard sunroof and synthetic leather upholstery. If you want more, the 2016 Lexus ES 300h offers it. Genuine leather, heated and ventilated front seats, and a panoramic sunroof are all available options.
