Lexus IS300H mpg?

Ace Modder · 29 May 2014 at 10:25

this car is a 219bhp petrol/electric hybrid

Parkers states 65mpg. Is that an unrealistic figure?

What can i expect for city driving, and what can i expect from motorway driving?

these links suggest your likely to get more like 43 to 59mpg overall...

Doesn't seem that bad tbh.

You know, I really like these. They seems like a really credible alternative to the usual 320d option.

Indeed, mulling over the bigger brother the GS450H for our family hack. Only concerns are boot space (where the batteries hide between boot and rear passenger's). The IS had less leg room for rear passengers...

This is a car I'm 95% sure I'm having for my next company car! I currently have a 320d M Sport.

I had a 300h for a day when my CT200h was in for a service. It's a really nice car, and felt very solid but I felt the interior was a little dated. Seats were very comfortable though and they have a very good spec as standard.

Did about 60 miles in it and the needle barely moved so didn't even need to bother putting any extra fuel in when it was returned.

Best thing about the MPG of a hybrid of course is that you're going to get a decent return whether you're crawling along in stop start or slow traffic or on a NSL road or on a motorway, whereas something like a small diesel even with stop start is going to struggle to match that except when it's on a motorway run at 60MPH.
