What is the fuel consumption per kilometer for Lexus?
2 Answers
Lexus is divided into three major categories with 21 series and multiple models: sports cars, SUVs, and mid-to-large-sized cars. The fuel consumption analysis by specific models is as follows: Lexus LC (sports car) currently has three models on sale, with an NEDC combined fuel consumption of 6.9 liters, averaging 69 milliliters per kilometer. Lexus RX (SUV) has 12 models on sale. Taking the Lexus RX-2021 300 4WD F SPORT as an example, the NEDC combined fuel consumption is 9 liters, averaging 90 milliliters per kilometer. Lexus ES (mid-to-large-sized car) has 10 models on sale. Taking the Lexus ES 2021 200 Excellence Edition as an example, the WLTC combined fuel consumption is 6.25 liters, averaging 62.5 milliliters per kilometer. The above is an incomplete statistical analysis of fuel consumption for some Lexus models. The level of a car's fuel consumption is directly related to five major factors: driving habits, the car itself, road conditions, natural wind, and environmental temperature. Specific factors that increase fuel consumption are as follows: Driving habits: Aggressive driving behaviors, such as sudden acceleration, frequent overtaking, and not easing off the throttle in advance when approaching a red light, can increase fuel consumption. The car itself: Cars with larger engine displacements generally consume more fuel than those with smaller displacements because larger displacements typically produce more power, requiring more gasoline to burn and perform work. Heavier cars also have higher fuel consumption because greater weight requires more driving torque. Road conditions: Driving on dirt roads, muddy roads, soft surfaces, or mountainous roads increases resistance, leading to higher fuel consumption. Natural wind: Driving against the wind or on windy days increases the car's resistance, resulting in higher fuel consumption. Low environmental temperatures: When the engine block is cold, the injected gasoline is less likely to atomize during a cold start, requiring more gasoline to be injected for combustion, which increases fuel consumption. Additionally, in low temperatures, the engine's computer may control the engine to run at higher RPMs to warm up, further increasing fuel consumption.
Lexus fuel consumption varies significantly by model. For example, I've driven an ES300h hybrid version with an official rating of 5-6 liters per 100 km, which translates to about 0.05-0.06 liters per kilometer. In actual driving, it can rise to 7 liters in city traffic jams and drop to around 5.5 liters on highways, averaging about 0.06 liters per kilometer—quite fuel-efficient. Proper maintenance also makes a big difference; I change the oil every six months, and the fuel efficiency remains good. Driving 1,500 km per month costs just over 900 yuan in fuel. Using the heater in cold weather slightly increases consumption, but overall, this car is economical, practical, and comfortable, making it ideal for daily commuting. The hybrid system saves a lot of fuel at low speeds by using electric power, which is both eco-friendly and cost-effective. When choosing a car, consider your driving habits—if you're often stuck in city traffic, a hybrid is definitely worth it.
