If you are in search of a luxury economic vehicle, you have to include the 2013 Lexus ES 300h on your list.
And the latest review from York Daily Record will get you the necessary arguments for that.

It may not possess the looks of its 2014 IS little brother, but the ES surely knows how to spoil you with the latest interior trimmings and a fuel economy that can turn every German-machinery enthusiast jealous.

Inside, you get NuLuxe or leather upholstery, wood trimmings, a nicely sculpted dashboard, eight-speaker sound system with multiple connectivity, smart access and start/stop button, Lexus’ latest mouse-controlled infotainment system and more.

Powering the GS 300h is a 2.5-liter dual-cam four-cylinder engine making 156 hp and an electric motor that pumps up the total output to 200 hp. This setup can help you get about 40 mpg (5.8 l/100) in the city and 39 (6 l/100 km) on the highway. It even has an EV mode to go around town without using a drop of gasoline if you are patient enough.
