2020 Lexus ES300h Sports Luxury long-term review: Introduction

If there’s one thing Toyota, and by default Lexus, has mastered over the last couple of decades, it’s hybrid technology. From humble beginnings with the original – and polarising – Prius, the Japanese car giant has created the blueprint for closed hybrid systems, offering a thriftiness at the bowser combined with an ease of use (there’s no need to plug-in to top up the battery) that is appealing to a huge number of buyers. Witness the runaway success of the Toyota RAV4 hybrid.
