Is the Lexus Fuel Consumption High?
2 Answers
Lexus has a fuel consumption of only 5.5L per 100 kilometers. Below are some related introductions about fuel consumption: 1. Habits and Road Conditions: Fuel consumption is greatly influenced by driving habits and road conditions. Avoid heavy acceleration; gradual acceleration from a start is the most fuel-efficient. To save fuel, avoid pressing the accelerator pedal hard when starting, as this can increase fuel consumption by 2 to 3 times compared to normal acceleration. 2. Braking: Maintaining a safe distance and avoiding frequent braking can save even more fuel. If you don't maintain a safe distance, you may often need to brake on the road. When braking, an automatic transmission vehicle will downshift, requiring the vehicle to accelerate again from a lower gear. Starting from a standstill or in a lower gear forces the engine to consume more fuel.
I've driven several Lexus models and can speak with authority on fuel consumption. Lexus comes in two types: the hybrid versions are quite fuel-efficient, like the CT200h which only consumes around 5L/100km in city driving; but the large-displacement gasoline models like the LS460 typically consume over 12L/100km. The key factor is the engine type - hybrid SUVs like the UX300h have a combined fuel consumption of just 6L/100km, while pure gasoline models like the RX350 start at 10L/100km. Also, AWD models consume 1-2L more than FWD models, and using air conditioning increases fuel consumption too. My recommendation is to directly check the official fuel economy label when choosing a car - the latest hybrid technology really does save fuel.
