With 2231 cc engine size it produces 177 horsepower and 400 Nm torque. I wish Lexus would from an alliance with TomTom in the same way that they have with Mark Levinson. That is exactly the point. Lexus decided that it needed to embrace the automotive mainstream and — and four-cylinder — engine. I like the car but the problems I've had have put me off Lexus for life.
Diesel used to be cheaper at the pumps, now it is 5% more expensive. Headlights - the dipped beam isn't very powerful - way behind modern cars. Quite thirsty in stop-go driving at around 25mpg, but this is a 2. I average 42mpg but most of my miles are on the motorway. Fit good quality rear tyres. The ride quality is an acceptable balance between comfort and performance.
?? Jamboo , mine was in for its 20k service last week ,complained again about fuel economy as i regularly see below 30mpg in fact over 30 is party time. Don't skimp on tyres - the previous owner fitted the cheapest pieces of rubber he could find, and the result was terrifying in the wet - oversteer at running pace. I dont go over 70 though! Not bad for a petrol engine Now I feel so much better :shutit: What I'm perplexed about is how some 220d's are so much worse than others. Driving fast is accomplished with consumate ease in Sports mode. Plus points include the growing brand desirability, very good build quality, high standard specification and good residual values.
Eventually got them replaced after many arguments with Lexus Birmingham. Estimated fuel consumption data, depends on the users driving style, environmental conditions and may vary depending on many factors. Would not consider driving anything else. Cannot fault the car regarding ride, fuel economy although the satnav is clearly not the best around etc. Automobile weight is 1615 kg with 460 liters trunk loading capacity.
?? This is my second Lexus. Averaged speeds of 48mph there and 46mph on the way back and no stops at all, and used 5th mainly, plus 6th a few times at motorway speeds plus cruise only sparingly. I was trying to get th best fuel economy. My next car will not be a diesel or a Hybrid for that matter. Although there is no certainty of the content, it is for informational purposes only.
I have yet to find any areas of poor build quality. These data were compiled from sources published by the official and nonofficial websites and catalogues of brands and companies. Does about 30mpg in Town and 47mpg on a good run. In the front the driver appears to have less width, especially in the footwell region, compared to the space provided in the left-hand passenger footwell. I've only noticed four on the road in the three months of owner ship.
You can select the gear of your choice, thereby reducing brake wear. ?? A formidable task on paper, but it appears that Lexus the premium brand from Toyota is winning the battle for sales. I know a lot of modern cars have similar kit but I feel assured that the Lexus won't let me down as my previous car, a Lexus, has never let me down in my 6 years of ownership. On A- and B-roads and in town, significant engine revs are required to get the car moving a very untypical diesel engine characteristic. Don't know whether I should wait for the March service or complain now. Therefore, the estimated fuel consumption data may vary compared to the actual real fuel consumption data.
The overall quality can also be rated highly. And the Fuel consumption over the journey? I was trying to get th best fuel economy. I drive down motorways to experience the true pleasure of Sports mode. Don't know whether I should wait for the March service or complain now. I wouldn't want to race a comfortable four door saloon car around unless you want to make your family sick and lose your licence. It is marginal now, and with the Petrol cars you can have so much choice in transmissions etc. Other than the rather bland face and grille of the Lexus, it would be hard to spot the difference between all three makes.
The amazing thing is that it is an Auto. Speed: 50-70kph in villages, 90-100kph outside. The economic profile of the luxury sports saloon is further enhanced by a new Band C rating for Vehicle Excise Duty, plus reduced fuel costs thanks to improvements in fuel consumption which raise the combined cycle mpg by nine per cent, from 46. But anyone would know how comfortable a car is in the real world. As the diesels get cleaner, the difference between Petrol and diesel gets too close for comfort.
