Overview
Cars like the 2018 Lexus ES 300h Sedan might not be able to give you the direct benefits one might expect from its hybrid powertrain. However, its use must not be overlooked. The ES 300h uses its 2.5L inline-4 engine and 245-volt hybrid system to produce 200 horsepower and 156 lb-ft of torque. This gives the ES 300h a 0-60 of 7.8 seconds. The hybrid engine here is to support the gasoline engine to boost performance and offer slightly better fuel economy than what a single gasoline engine would be capable of. That said, the 2018 ES 300h achieves a combined fuel economy of 40 MPG. As part of the midsize luxury sedan, the ES 300h competes with the Lincoln MKZ Hybrid Sedan and the Infiniti Q50 Hybrid Sedan. It offers a single trim, starting off at an MSRP $41,820.
