What is the fuel consumption of the Lexus NX?
2 Answers
The fuel consumption of the Lexus NX ranges from 6.0 to 7.3L/100km. Since vehicles often experience various driving conditions such as acceleration, deceleration, braking, and engine idling during actual operation, the constant-speed fuel consumption tends to be lower and can differ significantly from the actual fuel consumption. This difference is particularly pronounced for vehicles frequently used for short trips in urban areas. Constant-speed fuel consumption is an indicator of a vehicle's fuel economy when driving at a constant speed on good road surfaces. The main factors affecting fuel consumption are as follows: Vehicle-related factors: The oxygen sensor, as an internal control unit of the vehicle, primarily monitors the air-fuel ratio of the engine. If it malfunctions, it can cause an imbalance in the air-fuel ratio, leading to a sudden increase in fuel consumption. When the oxygen sensor is damaged, the vehicle will emit darker-colored exhaust from the tailpipe during operation. Prolonged non-replacement of the "three filters": During vehicle usage, the three filters (oil filter, air filter, and fuel filter) must be replaced regularly. If they are not replaced for an extended period, they can become clogged and dirty, affecting performance and sending incorrect information to the engine control unit. This results in incomplete fuel combustion and increased engine carbon deposits.
I'm the type who's always thinking about driving. Ever since I bought the Lexus NX 350h hybrid, I've been closely monitoring its fuel consumption. In city driving with frequent traffic lights, it averages around 6 liters per 100 km; on highways with less wind resistance, it can drop to about 5.5 liters. Overall, it's quite fuel-efficient, much better than the gasoline SUVs I've driven before, like my neighbor's old X3 that easily consumes over 10 liters. The NX's engine is paired with an electric motor for assistance, providing smooth power delivery with minimal vibration, which greatly contributes to fuel efficiency. With better driving habits, such as avoiding sudden acceleration and minimizing AC use during peak hours, you can save even more on fuel. After driving it for over half a year, I only need to refuel about once a month, making it a truly economical choice. Just remember to keep up with regular maintenance, as low tire pressure or dirty engine oil can secretly increase fuel consumption.
