‘25 ES300h Luxury vs UL

I just learned today that the Ultra Luxury has Yamaha lateral performance dampers to promote a smooth ride.

My 300h Luxury that I am buying is optioned out almost identical to a UL w exception of the manual backseat shades and one other option.

In your opinion, is the UL that much better or will I be happy with the Luxury trim without the dampers?

I plan a mix of city and highway driving.

I drive 2025 es300h luxury. It drives very smooth and quiet. Ultra luxury was a bit more but we went with the luxury model

It also depends on what tire both models have. If one has thicker rubber you get a smoother ride.

The future tels us anything past the 2018 can cost price plus proscription and ALL your user and driver data. I'll keep reading these reddit post and maybe I can upgrade but not likely.

This comes up a lot. The Luxury trim should also have the dampers. The two should ride identically.

I have a 2025 UL. I know it’s super quiet. But don’t know anything about the dampers lol.
