5 reasons to buy the 2022 Lexus ES 300h
1. Hybrid propulsion
If you spend most of your time driving short distances or in the city, you’ll be able to really take advantage of the 2022 Lexus ES 300h’s hybrid propulsion system. The sedan comes standard with a 2.5L four-cylinder engine and an electric motor, which together get an EPA-estimated 44 mpg combined fuel economy.
2. Customizable drive
Curious about electric and hybrid vehicles, but not sure they’re for you? The 2022 Lexus ES 300h eases you into electric and hybrid driving with a variety of drive settings. Choose ECO (normal) or Sport drive mode for increased acceleration. The available EV mode lets you cover short distances with only the battery, while Auto Glide Control allows the sedan to coast when you take your foot off the gas, rather than slowing down in the faster manner typical of hybrids.

4. Driver assist features
When you spend a lot of time behind the wheel, it’s helpful to know that you can count on technology. The 2022 Lexus ES 300h comes with a host of standard driver-assist features, including adaptive cruise control and blind-spot monitoring with rear cross-traffic alert. To help with parking in tight spots, choose an ES 300h with the 360-degree view camera, and available parking sensors.
