The Lexus ES 300h is a large, comfortable saloon that sits firmly in the premium segment, and this 2019 example brings a few notable practical advantages. With MOT cover running through to September 2026, there's no immediate outlay to worry about on that front, and at 96,000 miles for a six-year-old hybrid, the mileage is broadly in line with what you'd expect from a car of this age. Two previous owners rounds out a fairly straightforward ownership history.
Under the bonnet sits Lexus's well-established 2.5-litre hybrid system, producing 214.6 bhp and paired with a CVT gearbox — a combination that suits the ES's relaxed, long-distance character well. CO2 emissions of just 100 g/km reflect the efficiency gains of the hybrid powertrain, which typically delivers strong real-world fuel economy, particularly on longer runs or in urban stop-start conditions where the electric assist comes into its own. Meeting Euro 6d-temp standards, the car is also ULEZ compliant, which is a practical benefit for anyone driving regularly into or through London.
The ES 300h is a four-door saloon with seating for five, finished here in black. It's a format that works well for both daily use and longer journeys — spacious enough for rear passengers, with a driving character that prioritises refinement over outright pace. A top speed of 112 mph is more than adequate for motorway use, though the car is really more at home cruising quietly than being pushed hard. For buyers looking at a premium hybrid saloon with solid running cost credentials and genuine everyday practicality, the ES 300h makes a strong case for itself.
