Comparison Review

Comfort
The Lexus ES 300h offers rear passengers about the same space to stretch out as the Toyota Crown with comparable rear head- and legroom in both vehicles. As far as headroom and legroom go, there's not much difference between the Lexus ES 300h and the Toyota Crown in the front seats.

Convenience
You'll be making about the same number of stops at the gas station with the Lexus ES 300h as you will with the Toyota Crown, as they get the same number of miles per tank of gas.

Cost
There are a lot of factors to consider when calculating the overall cost of a vehicle. The main consideration is Manufacturer's Suggested Retail Price (MSRP). The Lexus ES 300h is somewhat more expensive than the Toyota Crown.

Dimensions
The Lexus ES 300h is a little wider than the Toyota Crown, so getting in and out of the car in a crowded parking lot may be a little more of a squeeze. When looking at overall length, the Lexus ES 300h takes up about the same amount of space in your garage as the Toyota Crown.

Handling
The Lexus ES 300h has a larger turning radius than the Toyota Crown, making it slightly more difficult to maneuver in and out of tight spots.

Performance
The Lexus ES 300h has less horsepower than the Toyota Crown, so it will probably be somewhat slower.

Powertrain
With similar torque, the Lexus ES 300h and the Toyota Crown do an equal job of transmitting their engine's power to their wheels.

Utility
In terms of seating you'll be able to fit the same number of people in both the Lexus ES 300h and the Toyota Crown.
