I just like the way it looks so yes it's worth the $1500 price tag.
I agree with the cosmetic point. It looks like this evaluation verifies my expectation, but perhaps not worth the $$ if the driver cannot see the difference.

I also agree with the cosmetic point. I do think the triple beam looks better I just decided that the $1500 cost wasn't worth it since I don't see them most of the time anyways and didn't see a noticable difference in road illumination. If they had been like $500 I would have probably done it.

Just picked up a 2019 ES300h Luxury. Atomic Silver with black interior. It's so far beyond my traded in 2016 ES360 that words can't describe. MPG is a little low right now (around 36MPG but rising)...hope that fixes itself over the next few weeks. I'll try to get more photos later. Car is absolutely gorgeous. Most beautiful car that I've owned....bar none.. Seat extender (my first) is just awesome - especially since I'm 6' 3" By the way, anyone else with body side moldings. I looked at Cars.com and found very few ES300h's with body side moldings. Not many more ES350's. Probably makes it less sporty and more elegant (IMO) but I really love them once I saw them.

Atomic Silver
Black leather interior with Bamboo wood
ML Audio
18 inch noise reducing tires and rims
Spoiler
Body side moldings
Triple beam headlights
Power trunk with kick release / close
Blind spot monitor
Panoramic camera view
Navigation package
All season and regular mats

Beautiful car! I’m envious though - you also got the triple beam headlights. Enjoy your new car.

In July 2019 I purchased a 2019 ES300h Ultra Luxury, the exterior is Atomic Silver, the interior is Chateau. In the first 2800 miles, it's averaged 47 MPG, and that's calculated from fuel used and miles traveled, not what the car reports, which is slightly higher. It's my first Lexus, but my second hybrid, the first was a 2014 Toyota Avalon Hybrid Limited. I loved the Avalon, but the new ES300h is a step above in refinement and efficiency.

It's beautiful. Interior different than mine and I have body side moldings, but basically the same. I'm only at 43.8 MPG and it's hard to get it to go higher (mixed 50/50 driving but no freeway driving...max 55 mph). I would love to see 47 or higher.

Again, it's beautiful. Enjoy it!

Thanks for the warm welcome. Nothing wrong with 43.8. I tend to get my best numbers while commuting, which is partly slow-speed urban driving and the rest moderate speed suburban driving (~45 mph) with occasional traffic light, no expressway. After I purchased a 2014 Avalon Hybrid I placed even more emphasis on driving smoothly, gently pressing on the pedals, anticipating slowdowns to avoid engaging the friction brakes so as to capture as much kinetic energy into the battery, leaving plenty of space between cars to provide a buffer for coasting instead of braking. Those lessons from the Avalon have transferred very well to the ES300h, which is even more efficient.

Congratulations! I have the exact same one! 7000+ miles since January, and am averaging ~ 44 mpg. We also have a ‘14 Avalon Limited hybrid. An excellent car, but the ‘19 ES300H is much much better!

Does your 2014 Avalon Hybrid Limited have a Blizzard Pearl exterior? If so, then we've had two identical cars. The Avalon was such a good car that we struggled to part with it, despite the Lexus being an even better car. To me, the Avalon was more obviously a hybrid, and although very smooth, the engine startups and shutdowns were more noticeable, and the whirring of the motor generators could be heard while coasting, braking, and gentle acceleration. All of that is nearly imperceptible in the Lexus, it's quieter always and the ride is smoother too.

A few days ago, I leased this '19 Silver Lining/Black ES350 F-Sport. I'll attach a photo of the options that my particular car came with. I do know, however, it was the only one on the lot that had AVS! All in all, I am loving this car. What a phenomenal daily driver!

Does anyone else have this issue? Or a solution???
Had same issue with 19 ES 350 manufactured in 2018 we had dealer replace factory amp with amp manufactured late 2019 and fixed a little but still only 20% in rear. Frustrated I went to local radio shop and added sub and amps to correct. Stock speakers suck to no end but not going to start replacing yet. Sad results from Manufacturer to say the least but I have decent sound now $800 later. Ugh!!

I purchased a new 2019 Lexus ES 350 with the Premium package on October 12 from Lexus of Louisville. It is Obsidian on the exterior and black inside. It is my first Lexus. So far so good.

Default Hi All

Hi All. Name is Connie, and I just found this forum. Oops! Sorry, I posted already about a deer hitting my brand new car, and asking for opinions. I bought my 2019 ES 350 in September, 2019. She's Nightfall Mica with chateau interior, Premium package and 18" split 10-spoke wheels. I LOVE this car!

Default Hello all!!

Hey everyone, I had my car since june2019 but never introduced myself until I felt like I’ve modded my es350 to my liking. I have a 2019 nebula grey es359 f sport with red interior and from the SoCal Irvine area. I am a service advisor for Tustin Lexus so if y’all ever need help or in the area and like to stop by, hit me up

Default Intro - ES350 2019

Got a 2019 ES350, Midnight blue with Nav package - last week to replace my trusted 2007 ES350... Tried the BMW 5 series and GT, however could not tolerate the bumpy ride and excess noise..
When I drove the 2019 ES350, was blown away .... a no brainer decision to get it.
