FAST FACTS
"If there's one model that's synonymous with this segment, it's the ES Hybrid, which is enduringly popular thanks to its excellent fuel economy, rewarding refinement and peerless reputation for reliability. You could save some cash and get a hybrid-powered Camry, but test-drive an ES and you'll understand that its niceness is on another level."—Ranked #1 out of 2 Midsize Hybrid Luxury Sedans
MotorDonkey's proprietary vehicle data identifies every significant version of each model so that you can compare and decide. There's only one standalone version of the 2025 Lexus ES Hybrid, and here it is, along with our expert analysis and recommendations.
Although the ES 300h ties the ES 250 AWD with its lackluster 8.1-second sprint to 60 mph, we're more inclined to forgive the hybrid. The main point of this car is to get great fuel economy, and it certainly delivers there. The acceleration is actually pretty good in the real world, by the way, if you can get past the droning engine note produced by the CVT.
