Recently, there are two major events in Lexus. One is that the major facelift ES300h has finally arrived, and the second is to offer an 8-year or 160,000-kilometer warranty for oil-electric vehicles. This also makes people more interested in the new favorite of luxury RVs ES300h; however, as a gas-electric flagship, how much fuel consumption is, in addition to the exclusive equipment and support of the ES300h? What is the driving force and driving control reaction when driving? This time, the editorial department opened 170km, including three road conditions: expressway, urban area and mountain area, which is to help you find the answer! The equipment value of the oil and electric flagship
Lexus first released two powers: ES 200 (167ps/20.3kgm) and ES 250 (207ps/24.8kgm) in July this year. Recently (10/2), the ES 300h oil and electric hybrid model (comprehensive horsepower 218ps) was added. The car series was composed of ES 200 Deluxe Edition/Top Edition (1.67 million/1.85 million), ES 250 Top Edition/Top Edition (1.99 million/2.19 million), ES 300h The luxury version (1.89 million), honorary version (2.13 million), and flagship version (2.35 million); the flagship version has exclusive rear seat luxury kit, noise reduction and shock-reduction engineering, and Mark Levinson luxury audio system composed of up to 17 speakers.
single in terms of equipment value, the price difference between the ES250 flagship and the ES300h flagship is 260,000 yuan, which can be exchanged for more honorable sound insulation quality and a luxury rear seat package similar to that of large sedans. These are evolutions that cannot be installed afterwards and are quite touching, so it has a good attraction to make the buyer attack the top. But in addition to the visible equipment comparison, "oil and electricity" is also a point that buyers are very concerned about. The book data shows that the comprehensive horsepower of 218ps is higher, and the official average fuel consumption performance of 20.0km/L. Whether it is actually more powerful and how much fuel is saved depends on the actual test of the editors. We will test drive together with the ES250 and ES300hg flagship models and take the same route to test it for you!
This test section
Highway section
This highway test section starts from Dajia Riverside Park, Taipei City, and takes National Highway No. 5 to the end point "Dongao-Fenniao Forest". In order to test fairness, we changed hands in Pinglin District in the middle of the journey, and recorded the "interval fuel consumption" data displayed on the driving computer in the area. Finally, we went to 50km to count the highway fuel consumption, with a total mileage of about 90km.
Urban area + Shanlu
Return route is to go to Beiyi Highway by Taiji Line. The final destination is Pinglin CNK gas station. There are three changes on the way, with a total mileage of 78.8 kilometers.
Mountain Road Driving Control Test
ES300h In addition to fuel saving, the comprehensive horsepower of 218ps is also another indicator. In this 40km mountain road area, not only the fuel consumption test, but also the driving control difference from ES250.
Before line test preparation
temperature set uniformly 23 degrees and air volume Auto to ensure the same load on both vehicles.
tire pressure is pressed to 24kpa according to the original recommendation.
add 95 unleaded gasoline to visualize, return the Trip mileage to zero and prepare to set off!
Fuel consumption testHighway section
Since a fuel consumption test is to be conducted close to the usage conditions, the two test drivers will communicate first before traveling. Driving must keep up with the traffic flow and do not deliberately slow down, and the two cars will drive in ECO dynamic mode. We set off at about 10:30 in the morning. On the way to National Highway 5, we would definitely pass Huandong Avenue and National Highway Contact Road. Fortunately, the journey was not long. After a short traffic jam, we successfully got onto National V and headed towards Suao.
As soon as you get on the highway, the driving experience of the two cars is slightly different. First of all, what impressed me is that the sound insulation performance of ES300h is better. Whether it is road noise or wind cutting sound, it is well suppressed. Even when entering the tunnel, the classical music played by the sound is still clear and beautiful. Then, the air conditioning of ES is really strong enough. The temperature on that day is as high as 35 degrees, and the constant temperature adjustment of 23 degrees is really cold, which is lower than that of European cars.I didn’t encounter any major traffic jam in the front section of National Highway 5. I arrived at the first turnover point “Pinglin Interchange Intersection” at the speed of 90km/h!
arrives at the highway interval, and the fuel consumption of ES300h highway only shows its advantages. It pays a 18km/L with no traffic jams, which is better than the official non-urban fuel consumption of 16.0km/L; while ES250 is inferior to the official 12.9km/L, and there is a big gap between the two at the beginning.
After changing hands, it continues to return to the fifth dynasty of Suao. Compared with the two in ECO mode, the ES300h not only has a lower cruising speed under the common rail of the oil-electrical rail, but also has a slightly longer cruising distance, and the power connection is also smooth when stepping back to the accelerator. When overtaking is accelerating, the ES250 speed rises slightly higher, but with this 2.5 natural aspiration performance, the cruising texture is already excellent. Traffic jams have long been the norm in snow-capped tunnels. Even on weekdays, the advantages of being able to drive pure electric below 45km/h of gasoline are also revealed. Looking at the ES300h mileage computer, fuel consumption continues to move towards 20km/L.
Finally came to the end of the skipping route "Mysterious Beach of Pink Bird Forest". Thanks to the small traffic jam in the tunnel and the smooth road after leaving the Snow Mountain Tunnel, the ES300h always maintained an average fuel consumption of more than 20km/L, and the team speed was maintained at around 100km~110km. Finally, the high-speed fuel consumption ES300h won with a very eye-catching 21.0km/L. It is obvious that its oil-electric module is not only excellent in the low-speed domain, but also has better performance than gasoline power when it is in a high-speed pure electric state.
Backhaul Small Expressway
On the way back, we decided to take a short walk and give ES250 a chance to turn around. From the Suao section on National V to Luodong Lower Interchange, this pure highway section with a total of 30km is easy to open. It can also be seen whether ES300h is as good as the National V section of the Snow Tunnel without traffic jams.
As expected, when there is no traffic jam, the fuel consumption of ES250 is indeed much better than the outbound route, and has improved to a performance of 16.4km/L similar to the official highway. However, ES300h, which is not activated in the pure electric mechanism, slightly dropped to 19.5km/L. The gap between the two is closer, but the fuel and electricity are still significantly more fuel-efficient. After a short rest in the store, the two cars changed hands and continued to move towards the Taijiu Line in the city.
Fuel consumption test Urban road section
When you arrive in the urban road section, you can stop with red lights. The advantages of pure electric driving of oil and trams are more obvious. However, in order to experience the driving experience in different dynamic modes, we drive in the urban "Comfort" mode. For ES300h, the difference from the ECO mode is that the power intervention is earlier and you can have a more instant power response when overtaking, but relatively, the pure electric sliding degree is also limited.
0 Driving mode changes do have a significant impact on fuel consumption. After driving with Comfort for a while, we decided to change hands at Siping Railway Station on Taijiu Line, and take a look at the fuel consumption performance in the interval. The fuel consumption of 18.1km/L from ES300h is slightly inferior to that of ECO high-speed, while the fuel consumption of ES250 has been greatly increased to 12.9km/L.
After changing hands, continue to head to Beiyi, Taijiu Line North Yi, and enter the lively Jiaoxi city. Even on weekdays, this section is still full of people, and illegal parking at the hot spring clubs and shops on both sides is still there. When you come here, you still can't escape the dilemma of traffic jams and crawling.
Finally came to Sunrise Impression Cafe at the foot of Beiyi Mountain to make a summary of the urban road section. In the 43-kilometer urban road section, the oil and electricity benefits of ES300h are still quite significant, and the Comfort mode power recharge speed is also quite fast, allowing pure electric power to be assisted every time you start, which is a major contributor to maintaining fuel consumption of 18.1km/L; on the other hand, when ES250 is in Comfort mode, thanks to the more active throttle reaction, the power output feeling is much smoother than the ECO mode, but in the situation of traffic jams and repeated parking, it is still difficult to escape the fate of fuel consumption, and finally it is 11.6km/L.
fuel consumption test extra chapter Mountain Road Sport Mode goes straight to the finish line
After most of the day of highway and urban fuel consumption tests, I am really satisfied with the fuel consumption performance of the ES300h, and the road texture is excellent, and I accompanied us through a relaxed and pleasant test drive journey; however, another problem is not solved. The comprehensive horsepower of ES300h is indeed excellent, but with the addition of the gasoline and electric module, the weight of the car is nearly 90kg more than the ES250, and the horsepower and weight ratio is not cheap. If you drive on the mountain road, you may have an unexpected ending.
When we start from the impression of sunrise, we only have to go up the mountain for a few turns. The editor driving the ES250 was instantly confused by the car in front of us. He had to step on the accelerator to close to the ES300h. Even every time he accelerated out of the corner, he was obviously pulled open. The data difference between the two is only 6ps, and he murmured whether the ES300h driving was too passionate. After reaching the turnover point to exchange opinions, it was said that the front section of the 300h mountain road was only half of the accelerator and could drive very quickly. Compared with the ES250's full effort, it was a huge difference. Finally, checking the driving computer, the ES300h still had a fuel consumption performance of 10.9 km/L while driving.
After changing hands at the rest station, the last section of the mountain road was facing the finish line. Driving in the ES300h in the gorge bend did feel very different. Under the full speed of the oil and electricity output, the acceleration power is fuller than 250 every time it goes out. When the accelerator is stepped on, the simulating six-speed withdrawal accurately pushes the speed to the sweet point of the power. The extra 90 kilograms of the oil and electricity module are not burdened at all. At the same time, the GA-K chassis also brings good grounding. With the support of ACA's active steering system, it eliminates the push-touch response of large front-wheel drive cars with excellent rear-end follow-up. As for driving the ES250 with a change of hand, it does taste the taste of catching up. In summary, although the book power difference between the two is not large, thanks to the direct output characteristics of the electric motor, the acceleration response is obviously excellent. During the smooth travel of the mountain road, the advantages of the ES300h vehicle room sound insulation project are also reflected again. Not only is it fast and smooth to drive, its noise resistance also brings a textured driving process.
Two cars experienced the twists and turns of Beiyishan Road, and finally arrived at the end of "Pinglin Gas Station". After passing the Sport mode and 40km driving, the fuel consumption performance of ES300h urban and mountainous areas can also be maintained at 11.0km/L, waiting to fill up the fuel to verify the fuel consumption test results.

After this long-distance test drive, it can be found that ES300h can not only effectively exert economic benefits, but also have a greater effect in the comprehensive power performance. Coupled with better travel quality and already good chassis reaction, it is considered that the price difference between the two is 260,000 yuan, and the direct oil and electric flagship is a relatively cost-effective choice. As for the carefully calculated buyers, The Hybrid system launched by the brand has extended to the 8-year 160,000-kilometer warranty policy, which has also reduced doubts about the life of the battery module again. No matter what the perspective is, the ES300h has a considerable attraction!
