2022 Lexus ES 300h F Sport: Looks can be deceiving

Lexus' F Sport trim is now available on the ES hybrid, but don't expect this sedan to drive the way it looks; this is still a smooth, quiet and comfortable car.

The Lexus ES has been updated for 2022.

The biggest change this comfort-focused sedan has received is the addition of a new touchscreen, which is more than 4 inches closer to the driver.

This panel makes it easier to interact with the infotainment system.

Unfortunately, the 2022 Lexus ES 300h's infotainment system still leaves a lot to be desired, and it still has a hateful trackpad on the console.

Under the hood, this hybrid sedan features a four-cylinder engine and a couple of electric motors. All told, this drivetrain delivers an adequate 215 horsepower.

There's plenty of legroom in the backseat, though headroom is at a premium.

The ES 300h is available in a more aggressive-looking F Sport trim for 2022, which includes a mesh grille texture and 19-inch wheels.

This car's proportions are still clearly front-wheel drive.

The trunk is large, but there's no fold-down backrest, hampering versatility.

I Got an Early Look at Intel's Glass Packaging Tech for Faster Chips
Rahul Manepalli, right, Intel's module engineering leader, shows a glass substrate panel before it's sliced into the small rectangles that will be bonded to the undersides of hundreds of test processors. The technology, shown here at Intel's CH8 facility in Chandler, Arizona, stands to improve performance and power consumption of advanced processors arriving later this decade. Glass substrates should permit physically larger processors comprised of several small "chiplets" for AI and data center work, but Intel expects they'll trickle down to PCs, too.
