What is the fuel consumption of the ES350?
2 Answers
Lexus ES350's fuel consumption in urban areas is approximately 12 liters per 100 kilometers. Here are the specific details regarding fuel consumption: 1. Fuel Consumption: Large-displacement cars consume as much fuel as family cars. 2. Comparison: For a fuel consumption of 6 liters per 100 kilometers, on the same route, a 1.6L car like the Octavia consumes 7 liters. Sports cars usually have much heavier throttle usage, consuming more fuel than street cars, resulting in higher fuel consumption. When a liter-class sports car accelerates aggressively or at high speeds, its fuel consumption is comparable to the combined fuel consumption of a 3.0L car. 3. Fuel: Most cars use gasoline, so the energy from the fuel is the same. The Octavia's relatively higher fuel consumption comes from its high aerodynamic drag, compact structure leaving little room for fuel-saving technologies, and a design philosophy that emphasizes high-revving power output.
I've been driving a Lexus ES350 for several years, with an average fuel consumption fluctuating around 10 liters per 100 kilometers. In city traffic jams, it may rise to 12 liters, while highway cruising can drop it to just over 7 liters. This car has a 6-cylinder engine and a relatively large body, offering good comfort, so the fuel consumption isn't low but is acceptable. I use it daily for commuting, and fuel consumption increases a bit in summer with air conditioning on, while it's slightly better in winter. To save fuel, maintaining proper tire pressure and avoiding sudden acceleration and braking are quite effective. The newer ES350 models might be more optimized, with rumors suggesting the facelifted version can achieve under 9 liters per 100 kilometers. Overall, as a family car, this fuel consumption is quite average, and I recommend test-driving to experience the real-world fuel consumption before purchasing for a better understanding.
