United States — EPA estimates
These figures reflect recent model years for the ES 300h in North America and pertain mainly to the front‑wheel‑drive configuration, with all‑wheel drive offering slight variations.
How the EPA figures are interpreted
The EPA ratings measure efficiency under standardized tests that may differ from real-world driving. Real-world fuel economy can vary with driving style, climate control usage, and payload.
- Combined fuel economy: about 44 mpg
- City driving: around 40 mpg
- Highway driving: around 44 mpg
For exact figures by year and trim, consult fueleconomy.gov or the official Lexus spec sheet for your market.
Europe and other markets — WLTP estimates
In European and other markets that use WLTP testing, the ES 300h typically reports fuel consumption near 4.6–5.0 L/100km, with variations depending on trim and drivetrain. WLTP figures generally translate to roughly 46–52 mpg UK, depending on the test cycle and conditions.
Notes on WLTP testing
WLTP numbers can differ from the EPA results due to different test cycles and methodologies across regions. Real-world results may diverge based on driving patterns, temperature, and equipment usage.
- WLTP fuel consumption: approximately 4.6–5.0 L/100km
- Estimated equivalent fuel economy: roughly 46–52 mpg UK
Check your local Lexus distributor or the official regional Lexus site for the exact WLTP figures applicable to your country and model year.
How to maximize fuel economy with the ES 300h
Maximizing efficiency involves smooth driving, prudent climate control use, and proper maintenance. The ES 300h benefits from gentle acceleration, steady speeds, properly inflated tires, and regular hybrid-system maintenance.
- Accelerate gradually and anticipate traffic to reduce energy use
- Keep tires inflated to the recommended pressure
- Utilize eco or adaptive climate controls efficiently
- Schedule regular maintenance for the hybrid battery and engine systems
Real-world results will vary, but following these practices helps you approach the official estimates more closely.
Summary
The Lexus ES 300h hybrid typically delivers mid‑40s mpg in the United States (approximately 44 mpg combined), with WLTP figures around 4.6–5.0 L/100km in Europe. Market-specific numbers and year-to-year variations exist, so check the latest official data for your exact model and region.
