Lexus Top fuel-efficient Models
In an age where both environmental concerns and the rising cost of living are on everyone’s mind, the pressure has been put on vehicle manufacturers to produce leaner, greener, more fuel-efficient models. The increase in the demand from the public for cars that deliver both exceptional performance and outstanding fuel efficiency has forced major manufacturers to deliver better, more cost-effective cars that do not compromise on performance. Lexus has effortlessly risen to that challenge, producing hybrid cars that tick all the boxes.
All Lexus cars in the UAE are engineered to the highest standards. So even a sporty coupe or a large SUV will deliver good fuel economy as the engines are designed to run as efficiently as possible. However, for maximum fuel efficiency, a Lexus Hybrid is the best option.
Why choose a hybrid?
Hybrid cars have a dual powertrain that combines a state-of-the-art petrol engine with electric motors. These can be engaged during urban driving. Not only does that make the car more fuel efficient, but it also produces zero emissions when using its electric motor, making a hybrid a more environmentally friendly option. When you choose to go on that long trip, the petrol engine takes over, ensuring you have the range to reach your destination.
Two Lexus models really stand out for their exceptional fuel efficiency – the Lexus ES 300h and the Lexus NXh.
The Lexus ES 300h
With a 2.5Ltr engine delivering 215hp, there is no doubt that the Lexus ES 300h is a powerful sedan. The addition of an electric motor, however, takes it to the next level, and results in a km/L figure of 24.1. A fuel tank capacity of 50 litres means that this great-looking car has a range of over 1200km on a single tank of fuel, taking into account the additional input of the electric motors around town too.
While the fuel efficiency may be impressive, it doesn’t mean that there has been any compromise on the quality of the interior, the performance and handling, or the safety. Every aspect of the ES 300h has been applied with that same, meticulous attention to detail that Lexus is renowned for, resulting in a smooth, elegant, and highly efficient sedan.
The driver experience is also as good as ever, with a rear spoiler to provide plenty of downforce at speed for better handling, and a smooth CVT transmission for precise power delivery. With a host of additional extras that include the all-new Lexus Connect App compatibility, the Lexus ES 300h is a true driver’s car for those who want a little extra from every drop of fuel.
The Lexus NXh
Powered by a dualtrain 2.5Ltr HEV engine, the Lexus NXh has all the power you’ll ever want from a luxury crossover. That ultra-efficient powertrain delivers 240hp and 239Nm of torque, giving it not just plenty of drive but the capability to take on more challenging terrain too. The fuel efficiency numbers are pretty impressive too, delivering 21.5km/L. With a 55 litre tank fitted, that gives the NXh a range of nearly 1200km, easily comparable to the smaller and lighter Esh.
What the NXh does is prove that even larger luxury SUVs can be fuel efficient, delivering supreme comfort and a go-anywhere attitude with relatively frugal fuel consumption. This isn’t a planet-busting ‘gas guzzler’, it’s a refined, elegant and remarkably eco-friendly crossover that delivers exceptional performance, practicality and reliability without compromising on comfort or luxury. Included in the package is the class-leading Lexus Safety System +3 and access to the Lexus Connect App, giving the driver remote control of the vehicle and offering up a host of unique-to-Lexus features.
Both the NXh and the ES 300h demonstrate not only that modern luxury cars in the UAE are fuel efficient and cheaper to run than their predecessors, but that efficiency can be achieved without making sacrifices in performance or comfort.
