Its superb car

Nice compact SUV for city and long drives. For city driving 7-8 kmpl and highway driving it’s giving 12-14 kmpl. The overall drive experience is smooth. Ambient lighting during the night gives a luxurious feel.

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.
