Key things to evaluate:

• Safety package: Lexus Safety System+ 2.5
• Infotainment: touchscreen infotainment display with Apple CarPlay, Android Auto compatibility, 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.

What Lexus ES Hybrid do most buyers choose?

The Lexus ES Hybrid years with the most listings are 2024, 2025, and 2023.

Higher-volume years tend to draw more shopper attention because they give you more inventory to compare and more chances to find the right price, color, and equipment mix. They also tend to be the easiest years to shop confidently because you can evaluate more listings side by side.

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

Buy now if:

• Price trend: The 2019 model is at −2.81% versus a year ago, and the 2014 model is at −0.69%.
• Sweet-spot year: The 2024 model has the most listings at a current average price of $43,053. The Lexus ES Hybrid offers a quiet, comfortable, and reliable driving experience that makes it easy to live with every day.

Consider waiting if:

• Powertrain/efficiency: The whole point of the Lexus ES 300h is its hybrid powertrain, which uses a 2.5-liter four-cylinder gasoline engine in combination with an electric drive assist motor and a lithium-ion battery pack to produce a total of 215 horsepower.
• Tech: In addition to the new touchscreen display, which is mounted 4.3 inches closer to the driver and front passenger for ease of use, the infotainment system includes Apple CarPlay and Android Auto compatibility as well as Amazon Alexa integration.
• Safety: Lexus Safety System+ 2.5 equips the ES with more responsive adaptive cruise control acceleration when the driver changes lanes to pass slower vehicles, an evasive steering assistance system, and Intersection Turning Assist.
• Starting price: With MSRPs starting at just over $40,000, the ES sedan supplies style, luxury, and plenty of spacious comfort for the money.

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.
