What is the premium package on a Lexus ES 300h?

The Premium Package is an optional bundle for the Lexus ES 300h that adds comfort, convenience, and interior upgrades beyond the base trim. Exact contents vary by model year and market, so checking the window sticker or dealer listing for the specific car is the most reliable source.

What the Premium Package generally includes

The items below are commonly associated with the Premium Package on many ES 300h models. Features can differ by year, region, and how the package was structured in a given release, so use this as a guide rather than a guarantee.

• Leather-trimmed interior for seating and surfaces


• Heated front seats


• Power-adjustable front seats with memory for the driver


• Auto-dimming rearview mirror and auto-dimming side mirrors


• Rain-sensing windshield wipers


• Dual-zone automatic climate control


• Upgraded audio/navigation interface (availability varies by year and market)

In practice, the Premium Package sits above the base ES 300h equipment level by bundling these comfort, control, and tech features into a single option. However, the exact mix of items is not fixed across all years and regions.

How to verify the package contents on your ES 300h

Where to look and who to ask

The most reliable way to confirm what's included is to review the Monroney window sticker on a used ES 300h or request the dealer’s build sheet for a new or certified pre-owned car. The sticker and official documentation list the exact features tied to the Premium Package for that particular vehicle.

Why the contents can vary by year

Lexus occasionally updates package contents or renames packages as technology and design evolve. What was offered as the Premium Package in one model year may change in the next, with some items shifting to standalone options or to a different package tier.

Summary

The Premium Package on the Lexus ES 300h is a mid-tier upgrade that adds interior quality, comfort, and convenience features beyond the base model. While leather seating, heated front seats, and power/memory adjustments are common inclusions, exact contents depend on the vehicle's year and market. Always check the specific car’s window sticker or confirm with a Lexus dealer to know precisely what your ES 300h includes.

What is the difference between ES 300h premium and Luxury?

The Lexus ES 300h Luxury trim builds on the Premium trim by adding more premium interior and convenience features, such as quilted semi-aniline leather seats, a power rear sunshade, ambient lighting, and a power liftgate. The Premium trim, while not standard, can often be configured to include many of the Luxury features through optional packages like the Premium Package, which adds heated/ventilated seats, parking assist, and rain-sensing wipers. The main distinction is that the Luxury trim includes these upgrades as standard equipment.
