The ES 300h is the Lexus for people who want real luxury without paying for it at the pump, pairing a 2.5-liter four-cylinder hybrid system good for 215 total horsepower with an EPA rating of 44 mpg combined. This one is loaded where it counts, with semi-aniline leather, heated and ventilated front seats with memory, a heated leather-and-wood steering wheel, ambient lighting and a power rear sunshade. The Technology Package adds a head-up display, the 12.3-inch Lexus Interface touchscreen and the SmartAccess card key, and the Panoramic View Monitor makes tight parking lots a non-event. Throw in the power trunk with kick sensor, premium paint and illuminated sills, and if you want a quiet, plush daily driver that sips fuel and still feels special every time you get in, this is the one.
