How much does a Lexus 300h weigh?

Most Lexus 300h variants weigh roughly 1,600 to 1,800 kilograms (about 3,527 to 3,968 pounds).


The 300h designation has appeared on several hybrid models across Lexus lineups, including the IS 300h, ES 300h, and NX 300h. Weights vary by generation, trim level, drivetrain, and market, so exact figures depend on year and configuration. This article outlines typical curb weights for the main models and explains what drives the differences.


What the 300h badge covers


The "300h" label has been used by Lexus for several hybrid models over the years. The most common configurations in many markets are the IS 300h (compact executive sedan), the ES 300h (mid-size sedan), and the NX 300h (compact crossover). Below are representative curb weights for these variants, noting that country-specific specs can shift numbers slightly.


Typical curb weights for widely available 300h variants (unladen, excluding passengers) are listed here in kilograms and pounds.



  • IS 300h (2013–2017): 1,645–1,770 kg (3,629–3,905 lb)

  • ES 300h (2013–2018): 1,640–1,750 kg (3,609–3,858 lb)

  • NX 300h (2014–2017): 1,730–1,835 kg (3,817–4,047 lb)


All-wheel-drive variants are typically heavier than their front-wheel-drive counterparts, and optional equipment can add to curb weight.


Weight factors and market differences


Beyond model and year, weight is influenced by drivetrain (FWD vs AWD), battery size, safety and luxury packages, wheels, and regional equipment standards. In some markets, heavier configurations have been introduced due to larger batteries or added technology, so exact curb weights should be confirmed from the official spec sheet for a given vehicle.


Summary


The Lexus 300h family covers several hybrid models with curb weights generally in the 1,600–1,800 kg range. Specific numbers vary by model (IS 300h, ES 300h, NX 300h), year, and options. If you can share the exact model and year, I can pull a precise weight figure from official specifications.
