Lexus RX: real-world fuel consumption
Fuel meter readings from 1,865 Lexus RX cars reported in 2024, split by engine.
Excluding plug-in hybrids, the average is 9.2 L/100 km on the road against 7.7 officially (19% above official).
Lowest real-world consumption: Hybrid · 140 kW (190 hp) at 7.6 L/100 km.
Every engine: official vs real
| Engine | cars | Official (WLTP) | Real world | Gap |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Hybrid · 140 kW (190 hp) | 397 | 6.3 | 7.6 | +20% |
| Hybrid · 193 kW (262 hp) | 394 | 7.9 | 9.2 | +17% |
| Hybrid · 200 kW (272 hp) | 338 | 8.1 | 10.3 | +27% |
Engines with fewer than 100 cars in the data are not shown. Hybrid includes mild hybrids (48 V) as registered by the manufacturer.
Plug-in hybrid
| Engine | cars | Official (WLTP) | Real world | Electric share | Gap |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Plug-in hybrid · 136 kW (185 hp) | 708 | 1.1 | 5.6 | 28% | +408% |
The official WLTP figure for plug-in hybrids assumes a share of electric driving based on range. When cars are charged less often than assumed, real consumption is far higher.
By reporting year
| cars | Real world | |
|---|---|---|
| 2022 | 1,309 | 9.4 |
| 2023 | 3,245 | 9.3 |
| 2024 | 1,157 | 9.2 |
The same cars are reported again each year with their lifetime totals, so years are not added together.
