Key things to evaluate:

• Safety package: Lexus Safety System+ 2.5 with adaptive cruise control with stop-and-go capability, lane-centering assistance, forward-collision warning, pedestrian detection, cyclist detection, automatic emergency braking, lane-keeping assistance, automatic high-beam headlights, blind-spot warning, rear cross-traffic warning, evasive steering assistance, Intersection Turning Assist, and Curve Speed Reduction.
• Infotainment: touchscreen infotainment display with Apple CarPlay, Android Auto, and Amazon Alexa integration.
• Fuel efficiency: We averaged 37 mpg on our testing route, the car in its Normal driving mode the majority of the time. While that’s substantially less than the EPA’s official 44 mpg rating in combined driving, achieving econobox gas mileage in a big luxury sedan, and without trying, is remarkable.

Should I buy a used Lexus ES Hybrid now or wait for the next model?

• Tech: In addition to the new touchscreen display, the infotainment system includes Apple CarPlay and Android Auto compatibility as well as Amazon Alexa integration.
• Safety: Lexus Safety System+ 2.5 adds more responsive adaptive cruise control acceleration when the driver changes lanes to pass slower vehicles, an evasive steering assistance system, and Intersection Turning Assist.

If you're buying used today, the 2024 model year offers the best mix of value and availability. If you want the latest tech and features, it may be worth waiting for the next model year's inventory to build up.
