2015 Lexus ES 300h sedan provides efficient luxury - Appleton Post Crescent
The 2015 Lexus ES 300h sedan stands out with a design highlighted by the Lexus spindle grille and dramatic L-themed LED daytime running lights. The sweeping roofline is one reason the ES 300h achieves a low 0. 27 coefficient of drag (Cd), which helps reduce fuel consumption and minimize wind noise. Even with its dramatically sweeping roofline, the Lexus hybrid offers ample rear-seat head room. The ingenuity of the Lexus Hybrid Drive system is that it operates transparently. High torque at lower speeds helps make the ES 300h a joy to drive. Equipped with an electric water pump, electric power steering, and an integrated hybrid electric motor/generator, this engine does not require any accessory belts. The ES 300h driver can tailor the driving experience by selecting from among four modes: Normal, Sport, Eco and EV. In EV mode, the car can be driven short distances at reduced speed, using only the power from the hybrid battery pack. Eco mode favors fuel economy, and Sport mode increases powertrain responsiveness for a more engaging driving experience. Source: www.postcrescent.com
