The figures, translated
The powertrain here is the 2.5L 4-cylinder hybrid with front-wheel drive and an automatic (CVT). It is a hybrid: the battery charges itself as you drive and brake, so there is nothing to plug in. Front-wheel drive is the usual layout for cars this size, predictable in the rain and the snow.
Combined fuel use is 5.9 L/100 km: about 18 litres for 300 km. In energy, every 100 km costs about $9.15 at our price setting. The EPA estimates US$1,700 a year in fuel for 15,000 miles.
When the ES makes sense
It suits anyone who needs a car for a few days, a week or a month without buying one. It suits commuters, couples and business trips.
Space and size
As a mid-size car, it is easy to drive and park in the city. Its 340 litre trunk is enough for about two large suitcases and a few soft bags.
Rent it for a week first
Rent the ES for a week and see how it fits your life. A test week in the ES tells you more than any review. Rent first, buy later: a week with the ES answers the big questions.
Choosing the right one
If you are unsure between two options, rent one of them for a week first. A newer year is not always better; check what changed before paying more for it. Set a budget that includes tax, licensing, insurance and the first set of tires.
Running costs
Tires, brakes and batteries are the regular costs to budget for beyond fuel. At our price setting, 100 km costs about $9.15 in fuel. A pre-purchase inspection is a small cost next to the price of the car.
