What is the fuel consumption of the ES350?
2 Answers
ES350 is a large-displacement luxury sedan. Under normal urban driving conditions, its fuel consumption is generally around 12-13L/100km; on highways, it can achieve approximately 10-11L/100km; during traffic congestion or in winter/summer seasons, fuel consumption may increase to around 13-15L/100km. Factors affecting fuel consumption are as follows: 1. Rough roads increase fuel consumption: Driving on congested or uneven roads for extended periods in low gears inevitably raises fuel consumption; 2. Using the trunk as storage increases fuel consumption: Loading the trunk with unnecessary items increases vehicle weight. It's important to note that vehicle weight is directly proportional to fuel consumption. A 10% reduction in weight can correspondingly decrease fuel consumption by several percentage points; 3. Incorrect driving habits can double or triple fuel consumption: Poor driving habits have the greatest impact on fuel efficiency, particularly during traffic jams, at red lights, or when changing lanes, where rapid acceleration and hard braking are most common.
I've been driving a Lexus ES350 for several years, and its fuel consumption has been quite stable. In city driving, it's around 19 to 20 miles per gallon, while on the highway, it can reach 26 to 28 miles per gallon, with a combined average of about 22 to 24. It really depends on how you drive—smooth acceleration and less braking can improve efficiency, though in heavy city traffic, it might drop to around 18. Regular maintenance is crucial; changing the oil and checking the air filter can help reduce consumption. There are some variations depending on the model year—my 2015 model is close to these figures, while newer versions might be slightly more efficient. On long trips, the lower fuel consumption saves money, making it a comfortable and worry-free choice overall, suitable for daily commuting and travel.
