As an aside, I had a 2020 ES300h as a loaner for 3 days... there are some things I like better about the ES. I may go for an ESh next time, it's a much better value LOL and doesn't have the extras that break (massage seat, air suspension, etc.)
ES can’t compare with LS. To begin with, the ES is WRONG WHEEL DRIVE. That contributes to NVH( noise, vibration, harshness). Second, interior quality, even with the optional luxury interior, doesn’t compare with the LS. I have driven both for quite a long distance and can tell you that after driving an ES for several hours, you will wish you had an LS.)
There is absolutely no comparison. Ever wonder why an LS costs twice as much as an ES? If money is all that matters, get the ES
We have a 2002 LS430 and a 2020 LS500. We didn’t get air suspension on either car. Other than that we have no issues with our LSes.
That includes 18 year ownership of our 2002.
