2015 Lexus ES-300e Hybrid Sedan by Stu Wright - Greeley Gazette
Inside it was black perforated “Semi-Aniline” (a dying process) leather throughout, courtesy of the Ultra Luxury package that was included on this ES. This added $2,435. 00 to the base price of the Lexus ($40,430. 00) and included power memory... Additionally, the car had a blind spot monitor ($500. 00), lane departure alert with intelligent high-beam headlamps ($1,015. 00), navigation package with 8? screen ($1,795. 00), power trunk closer ($400. 00), intuitive parking assist ($500. 00),... I tooled around Grant in the ES300h, a sedan considerably more accomplished than the old Chevy was, and although the Lexus is more expensive, the Corvair was over $20,000. 00 if adjusted for inflation. The Lexus’ current price adjusted back to 1965 dollars comes to $6,500. 00, and it may be that Bullock Chevy/Cadillac there in Grant sold a Caddy for about that amount. As a popular Lexus hybrid, the ES has an Atkinson-cycle, 2. 5 liter, four cylinder gasoline engine at its heart, and two electric motor/generators to contribute power. Source: www.greeleygazette.com
