With the 8 speed transmission, what will be the mpg rating on the 2016 LX? I checked the Lexus website, but it did not even listed the 2016 as an 8 speeder but a 6spd. What has been the real world mpg for those that have received their 2016 LX?

 

Experience in past two weeks. City driving 13 mpg. Highway driving in Eco mode 18 mpg

 

It's really bad. I have had it for 5 days already selling mine to exporters. 93 L tank and get only 450 km.

 

I am getting 12mpg in my 16 LC in more city driving. Good thing for me is that LC doesn't require premium gas. That is probably the 2hp difference based on recommended gas of Toyota vs. Lexus.

 

is this news to you?
im surprised you bought the car without the necessary research.
as you can see on the cars I own ( plus a Tesla model S)
I am very aware of the limitation of my Land Cruiser.
mpg is its weakness but, towing/hauling something and transporting 5 adults and 2 kids comfortable is where it shines.


the Land Cruiser/ LX570 is not a stop light to stop light winner as well.
just in case people are complaining on its 0-60

 

my gx in winter only gets 11-12 mpg, partly cause i warm it up in morning before driving.
But generally get about 14 mpg in city, on highway it shines, 23 mpg.

I expect the LX to have slighly lower numbers. I see no reason why it couldnt get 20 mpg on highway. Just be easy with throttle.

 

13 -14 mpg is very good and what I get from my LS460 in city driving . The previous model you were lucky to get 10 mpg

 

My screen showing 11.2 MPG now, winter in Vegas and I go work at night so is around 32-40 degree; did use the remote start many times when get off at night; I put it in Normal mode and is all city driving with slopes, about 10 miles round trip daily for work

Toyota really need to do update their engines, it is a very competitive market now and these days are all going crazy on MPG numbers

Although I'm expecting poor MPG for a big car, but I don't mind getting better MPG LOL

 

so are you a physician, work at nite?

the next generation of engines by lexus will be turbo based. I 'll just hold onto my gx and see what they bring in 2019

 

Dude works in Vegas, so probably a Chipmunk/ male stripper LOL!
the pay is good though, minus the six figure student loan

 

Wrong haha~ I work in Casino and take care annoying guests

 

With some luck it may come in 2017, but if they did a face lift like the LX, then maybe few more years later

I still like N/A engines better, especially the sound from a V8+, but turbo will be the new trend for more MPG

 

so it was you who threw me out?
