So I learned about auto glide control or AGC. I had a loaner '20 ES300h UL and at the time I was not aware of AGC but I think I did try out the modes Eco, Normal, Sport. I don't recall if regen was disabled in Eco mode.

I see AGC being mentioned in US ES press releases but did not see that in Canadian press releases from Lexus.

Can anyone confirm if Canadian destined ES300h's have AGC too? I've heard the dash illuminates AGC when it is active, at least on US cars.

 

This is it:

 

Thanks. I'm awaiting my '22 ES300h here in Canada, trying to be patient but not really LOL. I don't recall if I saw that symbol or not, it's been a while and I wasn't aware of it back then...

 

Did you read the Canada version of owners manual?
It should say something about AGC.



EDIT:

2022 ES300h Canada OM:

 

No I only looked at press materials and the Lexus.ca sales site. Thanks, looks like it has it. I am looking forward to experimenting. I drove Prius from 2008 to 2012 when I got a plugin Prius which I drove until 2015. Then got a RAV4 Prime a year ago (the wife's car) so I am very familiar with Toyota hybrids in general but I had not heard about AGC until recently. I will check it out.

 

Hi
First of all, switch the drive mode to Eco, than the AGC will be active at higher speed

 

When did you special order your 22' ES300h? Did you special order yours? If so, when? Have you been waiting a long time for yours to be built? When is Lexus going to build your ES300h? Or has it already been built and ready to be shipped? The reason why I'm asking you all of these questions is because I just special ordered a 22' Ultra Luxury ES350 last week and I'm waiting for Lexus to resume production again so my dealer can order it for me when an allocation for them opens up.

 

The AGC will be active at higher and lower speeds, but the only difference is the charge is much higher when you go faster (One charge line when You Dr., for example 15 mph but three lines when you drive for example for 45 mph).

The AGC doesn’t work when you drive downhill.

 

I ordered it at the end of November 2021. It wasn't an order at that time, they had to wait for an ES allocation and then they could order the spec I wanted. I talked with the dealer a few weeks ago and they were estimating mid-March to receive it, and they would need PDI time, etc. However time will tell as I hear the freedom protest may have disrupted Kentucky plant production. I'm not sure if/when my car is actually produced, it may be in transit now for all I know, the dealer makes it seem like they are in the dark a little bit until shortly before it's delivered.

 

Yes, it’s also on the canadian cars.
