The class and presence of a sedan is just unmatched when compared to SUVs 😍

[StanDaManReviews]

I have the Lexus IS 300h and I have to agree, this is an amazing vehicle. You need to also talk about the stellar reliability and resale value which the germans can never match. It's an absolutely lovely car.

We have a 22 ES 350 F Sport and absolutely love it. The V6 is smooth and quick. Reliability is beyond perfection.

Ride quality is special. At braking and at sharp turns there is something magical about this car - the passengers barely experience a body roll - which makes for such a dignified drive even at higher speeds. And even driving it at 180kmph feels buttery smooth - genuine user !

I saw Lexus for the first time few years back in Chandigarh. Prior to that I'd seen many BMWs, Mercedes, Audis and was always awestruck by them but the day I saw Lexus, They way It was moving with all that road presence with Its sharp looks, marvellous dynamics, vehicle geometry, I was like shit THAT'S A LEXUS. I was so blown. It is unlike any other car. it's simply a design icon.

Owning E Class 2023, as you said, it’s just status symbol .

I would always, prefer next car Lexus

[HiddenWen]

I love the comments referring to it as a camry. They share the same platform, and that's it. Lexus ups the looks, the interior trim, and the driving experience to a more refined level. Based off of this logic, the Urus, Cayenne, Q5, Bentyaga are all just reskinned VW Touareg.

[gantongangsta]

Reliability is a luxury. Not having to worry about the car getting problem is a luxury. Not having to waste time getting the car fixed is a luxury. Having long lasting components is a luxury. I'd take the Lexus any time. Another important thing to note is that Lexus sedans have great visibility for shorter people while European sedans are more suitable for taller drivers.

Atleast clean the dash before filming

Also the little to no contrast of the background with rocks isn’t justifying the way you are praising the color

[paulwatson]

Lexus all the way for me, Benz are overpriced overrated and will always have you spending your hard earned money without a cause.

[farhanaliborker]

I so much agree with you that My Merc Benz Squeaks and Rattles like crazy even after having spent over a crore on it

[nikunjtejwani]

Hey man lovely video from start to end with good music. I like your style/tone of communicating and educating. Lexus ES has always been my ultimate dream car, well since we don’t get IS in India. Coming from a Mercedes Ml350 and Skoda, I really like the old charm of a Lexus and I believe it beats all manufacturers In its aesthetic/mood focusing on building timeless cars. I dig its exterior styling too which might be misunderstood by many. Although I’m primarily talking about the ES and Lexus’s sedans and not its Suvs. They’re still sticking with wood trims and touches which is a big win imo and you brought up a great point that others are doing carbon fibre and piano black plastic gimmicks. I believe this is where they are actually putting the money and that’s why their cars lasts forever. I don’t mind the lower power train either since this is meant to be driven on Indian roads and not Autobahn. 215bhp is sufficient imo. All in all keep bringing these videos man, ill subscribe!

[adesojiadeyeye]

Excellent and straight-to-the-point review! That's a really good video.

Lexus hands down! Although I prefer the interior on the 2013-2018 ES generation. It has a much classier interior. Less techy yet elegant. Rides like a charm as always. Lexus it is for reliability and luxury

[dikshantjain]

It's more of a reliable kind. Lexus has'nt been able to make it reputation of that luxe kind but the cars they sell are

[hemanthAcharya-msqn]

all good but why shot in such a dusty location also in such a bright sunlight? in few close up shots we can see dust gushing with the breeze.

[m_viridian]

My cousin bought this and after using it for almost a couple of years now, he just said that it's the most luxurious and reliable car when compared to others in that price category. He's really not interested in performance, so yeah, I think it comes down to personal choice as well, but irrespective of the choices, reliability can't be overlooked. I personally prefer BMW.

[prasannadhopate]

And BTW what’s wrong with Camry hybrid?
It is one of the most underrated of all Luxury cars available in India.
It is way better that all the Germans in the same price bracket. To top it off it gives 18-20 kmph mileage!

[paulwatson]

Lexus is a better choice any day over the Benz .

[analogsound]

You didn’t even mention the Mark Levinson car entertainment system in it? 😮
