The Lexus ES 300h is the most affordable of the three cars in the company's initial line up for the Indian market. This hybrid luxury sedan goes up against the likes of the Audi A6, BMW 5 Series, Mercedes-Benz S-Class andVolvo S90. We've just driven the car through the lovely roads around Ooty and you can head here for our initial impressions.
