    7th Generation (2019+) Lexus ES (250, 260, 300h, 350) Megathread

    Agreed! I actually prefer the current headlight design on the ES versus the refreshed version. The ES300h AWD Direct4 (been waiting for years) would make me ignore the new headlight design though.

    1 Year Ownership Review (2019 Lexus ES)

    Hi 2thfxr, I used normal mode for most of the drive. The remaining 5-10% of the drive was in sport mode. No eco mode used at all and I was still achieving great mpg.

    2019 ES 350/300h RollCall and Negotiation Experiences

    I own a 19' ES 300h fully loaded with Mark Levinson Sound system...it sounds phenomenal to me and I receive nothing but compliments when others hear it. I can't speak on the base pioneer 10 speaker system though, but the mark levinson package is definitely worth it for those on the fence of...

    2019 ES 350/300h RollCall and Negotiation Experiences

    At the very least, make sure they honor Lexus Loyalty (if you currently or previously owned one) and if you're a student/military...make sure they apply that discount as well. Also, when I said I had my own financing, they dropped financial terms to match what my credit union was offering.

    2019 ES 350/300h RollCall and Negotiation Experiences

    I think it depends on the dealer, but I paid (probably too much) $995. Since my purchase date of 8/31, it has been extremely easy to clean my interior and exterior. No major spills, no scratches (except slight curb rash underneath car in the rear right passenger area) :(

    2019 ES 350/300h RollCall and Negotiation Experiences

    Short answer: Yes. Long Answer: The one I received was one of the few fully loaded builds on the first shipment to the US. It was originally on its way to Kansas, but my dealer was able to negotiate with the original destination and re-route it so I could purchase it. I was also told special...

    Another one of my local dealerships (SoCal) called me today and said the 2019's are SLOWLY coming in...beginning THIS week!!! I'm scheduled to test drive the new ES 350 and 300h on Friday.

    LOL right. They can't fool us. The "I have the money now, this is what I want out the door" worked the last time I bought a Lexus lol I wish I could go back home (Ohio) and buy it there as I'm only in California for one more year, but the timing is right for me to purchase now.
