During Mother’s Day weekend, we wanted to highlight a vehicle that would allow mothers to experience safety, comfort, and coolness. It’s not a necessity for mothers to purchase a station wagon or van once starting a family. Some mothers want to maintain their cool factor while driving their kids to dance class and soccer practice.
One week prior the to big day, we tested the 2015 Lexus ES 300h. Here are five reasons mothers may want to choose this vehicle.
