Used 2023 Lexus ES 300h Sedan Trims Comparison

Trim level differences

The 2023 Lexus ES 300h comes in five trim levels, the base ES 300h, the midlevel Luxury trim and the range-topping Ultra Luxury trim. For a sportier look, you can opt for the new F Sport Design trim, but if you also want improved handling dynamics, go for the other new trim level, the F Sport Handling. All trims are front-wheel-drive and use a hybrid powertrain that combines a 2.5-liter four-cylinder engine with a hybrid system (215 total system horsepower) and a continuously variable automatic transmission (CVT).

ES 300h
Standard equipment for the base ES 300h includes:

  • 17-inch wheels
  • LED headlights
  • Keyless entry and ignition
  • Sunroof
  • Dual-zone automatic climate control
  • Synthetic leather upholstery
  • Power-adjustable front seats
  • 8-inch center touchscreen display
  • Apple CarPlay and Android Auto smartphone integration (with wireless connectivity)
  • 10-speaker audio system
  • Lexus app (remote engine start, service scheduling and vehicle alerts)
  • Blind-spot warning with rear cross-traffic warning (alerts you if a vehicle is in your blind spot during a lane change or while in reverse)

Lexus Safety System+ 2.5 is standard and equips the ES 300h with:

  • Forward collision mitigation (warns if a front impact is imminent and applies the brakes if you don't respond in time)
  • Lane departure mitigation (warns you of a lane departure when a turn signal isn't used and can automatically steer to maintain lane position)
  • Lane keeping system (makes minor steering corrections to help keep the vehicle centered in its lane)
  • Adaptive cruise control (adjusts speed to maintain a constant distance between the ES 300h and the car in front)
  • Automatic high-beam headlights
  • Road sign assist (detects certain road signs and displays them on the instrument panel)

A Premium package is available, adding:

  • Interior wood trim
  • Rain-sensing windshield wipers
  • Power-folding exterior mirrors
  • Driver's seat memory settings
  • Heated and ventilated front seats
  • Power-adjustable, heated steering wheel
  • Wireless smartphone charger
  • Front and rear parking sensors with automatic braking (alert you to obstacles that may not be visible in front of or behind the vehicle when parking)

  • Leather upholstery
  • Additional driver's seat adjustments
  • Wood- and leather-trimmed heated steering wheel
  • Power rear window sunshade

F Sport Handling
The new F Sport Handling builds off the F Sport Design and improves interior styling and handling with:

  • Unique interior styling
  • Heated sport steering wheel
  • Heated and ventilated sport-bolstered front seats
  • Performance-tuned adaptive suspension (for improved handling and comfort)
  • Unique instrument panel
  • Additional sport and custom drive modes
  • Active noise cancellation (helps to quiet the interior)

Ultra Luxury
With the Ultra Luxury trim, the ES 300h builds on the Luxury trim's equipment with:

  • 18-inch wheels designed to reduce noise
  • Hands-free power trunk release
  • Manual rear door window sunshades
  • 12.3-inch center touchscreen display
  • Navigation system
  • Voice assistant
  • Head-up display (displays important information in your sight line on the windshield)
  • Surround-view camera system (gives you a top-down view of the ES 300h and its surroundings for tight parking situations)

Many features on the upper trims can be added to the lower trims as options. Notable options for the ES 300h include:

  • Upgraded 18-inch wheels
  • Upgraded LED headlights
  • Rear spoiler
  • Wood trim with interior ambient lighting
  • Power rear window sunshade
  • 12.3-inch center touchscreen display with navigation and voice assistant
  • 17-speaker Mark Levinson audio system
  • Head-up display (displays important information in your sight line on the windshield)
  • Surround-view monitor (gives you a top-down view of the ES 300h and its surroundings for tight parking situations)
  • Card key access (can replace the key fob)

Which ES 300h trim does Edmunds recommend?

If you don't care for the sporty looks of the F Sport Design, we recommend the Luxury trim. In addition to the standard features from the base trim and the contents from the Premium package, you get larger 18-inch wheels, leather upholstery, a sport-tuned suspension and interior ambient lighting. Opting for the 12.3-inch center touchscreen improves the look of the interior and adds more tech.
