mate, I realy enjoyed the video and how you drive the car and the city life = Beautiful. This is what Lexus is about nice and stress free drive. Obviously you pay the price for it, but its worth the money. I never seen a Lexus driver use the horn or road rage.
Po mom misljenju veoma niska potrosnja za toliki auto i motor. Ocekivao sam od 2.5 benzinca sa automatikom , da potrosi vise u gradsko voznji. Ja svoj 2.0 hdi nekad nateram preko 11 litara.
Baš ono što me zanimalo. Bravo za video. Znam da je izuzetno pouzdan auto, potrošnja za taj motor je korektna. Uostalom, na kraju godine trošak je samo benzin i zamena ulja...bez drugih kvarova. Tako da je ovo veoma isplativ auto.
Actually fuel consumption is pretty good for the Lexus. Driving in normal mode (with auto transmission), even the bmw 5series - e60 model 3.5L diesel engine gets 10-11l consumption driving in normal mode.
There are no such thing as E60 3.5 diesel. E60 was only available with M47 2.0D and M57 2.5d and 3.0d. You probably thinking about 535d but its still 3.0 diesel engine. And while it uses 11l/100km or more it does have much more power than this lexus
@@VuckoHDthanks) is the mechanical transmission 250 reliable? maybe less consumption? Meet and mechanical transmission! well, it seems to be like on a mechanical there are two mass flywheels and on an automatic one mass flywheel
I acheive 7.8 /100 with a 2008 250 AWD on almost only highway use . And on mid road im able to stay under 10. But in the city .. it sucks haha . And in the winter with cold start and everithing like 12-14l/100
How many kilometers do you get per tank of fuel combined cycle? My Is250 will say I get 8.5L/100km when that is so far from the real numbers. It usually gets 10L/100km so around 600km on a tank of 60L, however when I do long distance travelling I get 8.3L/100km while on cruise control at 100km/h.
I did a stretch of around 15km with my IS250,speed limit is 80km/hr,cruise was set at 88km/hr,then you can drive with a average consumption between 6.0 to 6.5 liter.
@@manlaibaatarganzorigt9049 I recently got a gearbox flush/new oil (done properly by Lexus). It's shifting smoother now. Also, after that, it even appeared around 1 l/100km more efficient compared to before the flush! It seems a bit more normal now. I'll see if I can do this hypermiling video.
Winter tires have a softer, stickier compound which helps in the winter. With warmer temperatures, the rubber gets even softer and stickier. That would make a big difference on highway fuel consumption. An important factor as well is tire wear. From that point of view, driving on winter tires in the warmer seasons is costly.
На моей Camry 2014 года, 2.5 бензин расход был 16~литров… И вправду от манеры езды многое зависит. Я бы как автор видео не мог ездить, потому что терпения не хватает медленно передвигаться.
If everything runs how it should and you have no check engine light. It might be a carbon buildup issue. When you accelerate hard is it slow or hesitate?
Razmišljam kupiti ovog Lexusa.Čuo sam da ga Amerikanci dosta hvale zbog pouzdanosti.Je li to opravdano?;jesi li ti imao kakvih problema?Kakav je za održavati i tako to?Kažu da je pouzdaniji od Audija,BMW-a i Mercedesa takođe..
Nemoj razmisjati puno, nego ako nadjes neki dobri komad sa malo km i dobru cenu odmah ga uzmi. Ja vec nedelju dana cekam da ga kupim al nemogu da dobijam vlasnika na telefon. Cini mi se da ga je korona uhvatila. Nadam se da je uredu.
Lexus ti je luksuzni brand toyote tako da odlicno parira nemcima. Druze, svaki auto je pouzdan ako se redovno odrzava. Znam ljude sa bmwovima, mercedesima sto im se nikad nisu pokvarili i presli stotine hiljada km uz redovan servis a isto tako znam one sto su plakali za lose honde i toyote. Tako da ta prica po meni pada u vodu. Uzmi sta ti se svidja i gledaj vlasnika kako ga je odrzavao. Ako nije ili nisi siguran, bezi od toga koji god da je brend. Jedino sto ti mogu reci za Lexusa je srecno kad budes trazio majstora. Generalno ima malo dobrih i postenih majstora za sve marke a kamoli jos za brand koji ovde uopste nije zastupljen.

@@takuache338 It's mostly agreed that FWD cars are safer than RWD in severe winter conditions.

@@takuache338 Also it should be said that FWD cars need to be heavy in the front do be able to grip up, i don't know if that's the case for your moms car.

I thought the same but the way it drives and how smooth it is, it relaxed you...doesn't force you to accelerate at full throttle often. Also in the test I wasn't driving that slow, normal city driving

Would the consumption differ a lot if one forgot to change their winter wheels?
Not a lot but would be noticeable in the long run.
Winter tires have a softer, stickier compound which helps in the winter. With warmer temperatures, the rubber gets even softer and stickier. That would make a big difference on highway fuel consumption.
An important factor as well is tire wear. From that point of view, driving on winter tires in the warmer seasons is costly.
