Overview
Cars like the 2019 Lexus ES 300h hybrid might not be able to give you direct benefits one might expect from its hybrid powertrain. However, its usefulness must not be overlooked. The Lexus ES 500h uses its 2.5L Turbocharged Inline 4 engine and a 29.1kWh battery pack to produce 215 horsepower and 163 lb-ft of torque. This gives the ES 300h a 0-60 of 8.1 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 ES 300h achieves a combined fuel economy of 43 MPG. As part of the midsize sedan segment the ES 300h competes with the Toyota Avalon Hybrid, the Infiniti Q50 Hybrid, and the Lincoln MKZ Hybrid. It offers 3 trims, starting off at MSRP $42,335.
