Engine in 2013 ES 300h
Needing assistance. Looking to purchase a ES300h. The engine is hydro locked. Engine needs replacement. Question is the engine the same as the Camry 2.5 in its hybrid system or is there a engine code specific to the ES300h? Thank you!

I believe it is the same as the gas engine in the Camry hybrid but that is just based on reading reviews and visiting with sales people. I have no specific information that would confirm that. I believe there are others on this forum that could verify that fact with supportable data.

The ES300h has a 3.0L V6, but from your post looks like you're speaking knowledgeably of the Camry with a 2.5L (4 cylinder?)
So, it would not be the same.

Yup. Our ES300h has a 2.5 liter gas engine. Purportedly the same drivetrain as the Camry. I believe the Highlander used to share that drivetrain but I don't know if that has remained the case as the vehicle has grown in size. Our NX300h also shares that drivetrain with Toyota's 2.5 Liter gas engine. It is virtually identical to the ES300h under the hood, but the AWD versions add a separate electric motor for the rear wheels.

The Highlander Hybrid has always been a V6.

Oh wow. I stand corrected!
So the sales guy who wanted us to test drive a hybrid (we weren't interested), got his figures wrong. I never questioned him and equally assumed the 300h badge was how Lexus has always identified their motors (ES250=2.5L, LS400=4.0L, etc) I guess Lexus even fooled the (used car) sales guy AND me.

Toyota Avalon Hybrid
To the OP, while a Camry, RAV4, or NX300h all have the 2.5L I-4 hybrid drivetrain, the one I'd lay my money on being a direct drop in is the one out of the Avalon hybrid. The Toyota Avalon and Lexus ES are essentially the same car.
Best of luck.

Your information is inaccurate. The first Highlander we test drove had a 4 cylinder engine. We found it to be a bit underpowered and then drove a limited model which had among other things, a V6. That was essentially when we found our first RX, discovering that for just a few thousand $$ more we could move up to the RX which also had a V6 and took options to the next level over the Highlander Limited.

The Highlander 4 of that generation only had a displacement of 2.4 liters so it wasn't the same engine as the current ES Hybrid/NX Hybrid/Camry/Avalon Hybrid, etc...
EDIT/CORRECTION: My apologies. I can't speak for the Highlander Hybrid as you were referring to. I was talking about the standard Highlander.

CT200h has the 1.8L 4 cyl (same as Prius) MPG ratings similar to Prius V
HS250h had a 2.4L 4 cyl MPG "only" 35 city while 400 lb heavier ES300h gets 40 !
ES300h has the 2.5L cyl (same as NX300h/Avalon and Camry)
GS450h has 3.5L V6 (338 HP vs 311 for gas GS350 and 31 vs 22 combined MPG!)
LS600h has a 5.0L V8 recall that the LS460 has "only" a 4.6L V8

As I previously acknowledged, I didn't know Lexus played number games with all their hybrid models. Moreover, a sales guy let me to believe, while shopping the last 3 weeks for a 2014 ES, the hybrid had a 3.0L V6. He insisted we test drive one too. We weren't interested and didn't discuss hybrids any further.
You're a day late to the party btw. Although there's always that someone who feels bigger & better to kick the guy even after an apology. Thanks for your ridicule though.
