What is the fuel consumption of the Lexus ES250?
2 Answers
The Lexus ES250 has a fuel consumption of 8.2L per 100 kilometers. Below are the factors that influence fuel consumption: Driving habits and road conditions: Fuel consumption is greatly affected 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 too hard when starting, as doing so can increase fuel consumption by 2 to 3 times compared to a normal start. Frequent braking increases fuel consumption: Maintaining a safe distance and avoiding frequent braking can save more fuel. If you don't keep a safe distance, you may need to brake often on the road. When braking, an automatic transmission vehicle will downshift, requiring the engine to work harder to accelerate again from a lower gear. Starting from a standstill or in a low gear consumes more fuel.
I've been driving a Lexus ES250 for almost two years, and fuel consumption really varies from person to person. In city traffic with frequent congestion, it easily reaches 11 to 12 liters per 100 kilometers, but it's much better on the highway at a steady speed, dropping to around 8 liters. The car has a 2.5-liter engine, which provides quick acceleration but consumes slightly more fuel. I drive 50 kilometers daily for my commute, with monthly fuel costs averaging just over 1,000 yuan. Temperature also has a big impact—using the AC in summer increases fuel consumption by about 1 liter. I make a habit of maintaining proper tire pressure and accelerating smoothly without stomping on the gas, which helps save some fuel costs. Overall, the car is highly reliable, and while its fuel efficiency isn’t the lowest, it’s fairly balanced among luxury cars in its class. Driving 1,500 kilometers per month for daily use isn’t a problem.
