2025 LEXUS ES 300H F SPORT HANDLING // I WAS WRONG!

EV Channels Review

The 2025 Lexus ES 300h F Sport Handling is presented as a surprisingly capable and comfortable cruiser, challenging preconceived notions about front-wheel-drive Lexus vehicles. While not a performance machine, its hybrid powertrain delivers excellent fuel economy (EPA estimated 43/44/44 mpg) and a quiet, refined ride that excels at isolating occupants from the road. The F Sport Handling package adds sporty aesthetics and an adaptive suspension that effectively masks imperfections. The reviewer highlights the luxurious interior, intuitive physical controls, and impressive 360-degree camera system with an 'invisible car' feature. Downsides include a lack of rear seat headroom due to the sloping roofline and the aging platform's technology, such as a USB-A port for wired CarPlay. Despite its focus on comfort over outright performance, the ES 300h F Sport Handling offers significant value, especially considering its $53,585 as-tested price, making it a compelling choice for those prioritizing a serene and efficient luxury sedan experience.
