The official combined fuel consumption of the Lexus ES200 is 5.7L/100km. More details about the Lexus ES200 are as follows: 1. Body dimensions: length is 4975mm, width is 1866mm, height is 1447mm, and wheelbase is 2870mm. 2. Body structure: 4-door, 5-seater sedan. 3. Engine: engine model is M20A-FKS, displacement is 2.0L, intake form is naturally aspirated, maximum horsepower is 173Ps, maximum power is 127kW, maximum torque is 208N·m. It is matched with a CVT continuously variable transmission.
I've been driving a Lexus ES200 for several years, and its fuel consumption is generally economical, averaging about 7.5-8 liters per 100 km in the city and dropping to around 6.5-7 liters on the highway. Over long-term use, I've noticed that fuel consumption varies with the seasons—using air conditioning in summer often increases it by 0.5-1 liter, and cold starts in winter also slightly raise it. Driving habits are crucial; smooth acceleration and anticipating traffic lights can save a lot. On the highway, using cruise control makes it easy to keep consumption below 6 liters. Maintenance-wise, regular oil changes and air filter replacements are important—without proper care, older cars can see consumption rise above 9 liters. Avoid overloading and keep tire pressure at the recommended 240 kPa to maintain consumption below 7 liters. Compared to similar German luxury cars in its class, its fuel consumption is slightly lower, making it suitable for daily commuting.
As someone who often helps friends check out cars, I think the ES200 has decent fuel consumption, averaging around 7.2 liters per 100 km. In city traffic jams, it might go up to 8.5 liters, while on the highway, it stays between 6-6.5 liters. To save money, just ease on the throttle and avoid sudden braking. Don’t fill the tank all the way—extra weight increases fuel consumption. Using AC in the city has a noticeable impact, adding about 0.8 liters, but replacing old parts like spark plugs can lower consumption. Short commutes naturally result in slightly higher fuel use; on long highway trips, optimizing aerodynamics can drop it to as low as 6 liters. Compared to Toyota models, it’s slightly higher but balances luxury well. If budget is tight, consider switching to eco driving mode.
