2021 Lexus IS 300h luxury line - pov test drive

[@LBmotoAR]

What was the fuel consumption and how did you like the car? Thanks

[@GTOMAXIM]

Very sporty and dynamic. Unfortunately, I didn't pay attention to the fuel consumption...

[@LBmotoAR]

@@GTOMAXIM Thanks. Would you recommend the car? How does it feel compared to C class or A4?

[@GTOMAXIM]

@@LBmotoAR I would choose Mercedes or Audi. I don't like the interior of the Lexus...

[@mixte62]

Fuel consumption is about 4-6L/100km 😊

@@GTOMAXIM lol 🤦‍♂

[@vincentiussnow765]

Is this really a 2021 model? I thought Lexus discontinued this model in 2020?

[@Giojeng]

Yea

[@milosmitrovic3239]

What is the rims size 18'' or 19''? Thanks!

[@GTOMAXIM]

I'm pretty sure they are 18 inch rims.

Is 20.000€ too much for a 2013 model? I hust found one but I'm not sure about it

[@anzefajfar3072]

Depends on where you are at, in Slovenia i have seen one for around 20k eur but it's a 2016 model

[@milosmitrovic3239]

I got 2018 model for 25.000€ and had 100.000km so 20.000€ for 2013. is a bit off....maybe like 15.000€ would be more fitting.

[@ChainBreaker7]

How is the acceleration? Does the car push you into the seat when accelerating hard? Because of the electric engine it should right?

[@milosmitrovic3239]

2018 model owner here, electric motor is 40hp only, but it does accelerate decent for such a car, faster than any 2l diesel competitor. What I really like about it is actual linear acceleration, so basically it takes same time from 60-100km/h as from 120-160km/h, very cool on highway. And yes, you do feel g force if you floor it on start.

[@tomaszm8679]

@@milosmitrovic3239 You're wrong about the electric motor horsepower. Actually it is an 141bhp/300nm motor. It's power just it doesn't add up to the ICE power as straightforward as one may think, because when both engines work together their power and torque sort of overlaps, hence the combined horsepower is only ~220 and not ~320.

[@milosmitrovic3239]

@@tomaszm8679 maybe but that is how is written in the specs in the book I'v got. I am sure there is more to it but anyway, I really don't feel big power of electric motor when in EV mode. However seanless cooperstion between the two is spot on.

[@tomos3k]

​@@milosmitrovic3239It's a pretty heavy car after all, so maybe EV alone doesn't feel that powerful. Also I'm not sure but maybe the power in EV mode is suppressed by the electronics to make it more efficient? Wouldn't be surprised if that was the case. In the end this hybrid version wasn't meant to be a performance car.

[@milosmitrovic3239]

@@tomos3k yes it is heavy and yeah its not performance car, thats also true. However EV mode is really weak, you press the pedal for like 25% and it already turns on the petrol engine. My honest opinions is that they actually had space for bugger battery and therefor have capacity for adding stronger electric motor.
