Most Helpful Review

This car is indirectly promoting Innova hycross

Not going to sell at this price point, very wrong approach to the Indian Market. Indeed this makes customers feel more value for money now. People would pay 25+L and upgrade to Velfire Or Merc Vclass This is going the Jimny way down

Review

Buying experience: Great that's amazing feeling when I was going to purchase this car Riding experience: Great experience full comfortable and smooth Details about looks, performance etc: Very attractive or edges of this car gives a great look Servicing and maintenance: I have not done any type of service right now Pros and Cons: Look or interior length of this car

Lexus ES300h First Drive Review

By Ameya Dandekar14 May 2017

2017 marks the entry of Toyota’s luxury hand, Lexus in the Indian market. Looking at the premium pricing we already know, value for money is not something you will buy a Lexus for. The cheapest car in their line-up, the ES300h sedan costs more than Rs 70 lakh on-road, which means Lexus needs to bring something special to the party to trouble the well-established Germans.
