      The bigger Lexus gs450h had the hybrid option with a v6. My brother had a couple 2005 and 2006. 3.5 v6 with a hybrid making 335bhp 30mpg around town and 40 mpg on the motorway. Not soo economical by modern standards but it was the first Lexus v6 hybrid and the the generation after did mid 40s average

      The nice thing about the old interior is that it's old so it never really looks too old. It can't any more basically if that makes sense. Like modern cars with those massive screens look futuristic now but in 5 years will look ancient. This Lexus interior looked kinda old back in 2013 but it's still looks the same today. Kinda timeless I guess.

      Yes, it is a naturally aspirated 2.5l 4-cylinder petrol engine, that is the only downside of this car. Everything else in it feels like a 300hp car - brakes, suspension, handling...But they just have underpowered it. Modern times, modern downsizing...

      @sizif717 11 месяцев назад +3

      Different people want different things. For ''public roads'' - some may say that you don't need more than 80HP..And they will have a point. Why buying Lexus then? A normal Yaris will do. I just say that the car feels like it can handle 300HP, but it is quite sow accelerating with that gearbox when on the IC engine.
      Compared to...let's say - a 2L Petrol turbo BMW 3 series...When I drove that IS300H- it felt slower than my current (at the time) 2006 IS250. So - why buying an almost new Lexus for £25,000? It is not a slow car by any means, with an amazing handling, but the chassis can handle much more and if they have fitted the 6-cylinder V6 which they fit on many of their hybrids - it would have competed the car itself.

      @@sizif717 I know what you mean. That is how I feel every time I drive my girlfriend's Mazda 2. It is a cart for the public roads, but why didn't Mazda put in a nice 1.5 turbo engine to spice it up a bit. The handeling is amazing, but the engine lacks power. There are IS350's in the US, but in Europe they hardly sell due to high taxes and expensive fuel consumption.
      Two downsides for me about the IS300h though:
      - It can barely tow a trailer. 750kg is nothing and a real downside, especially if you consider the AWD NX300h, which has the same engine, can tow twice that!
      - They should have made a stationwagon/estate version of it. That would have been my ideal car. Now I would need to buy an NX300h if I wanted more luggage space, but I don't want to drive an SUV.

  • @Wolfox360
    @Wolfox360 Год назад +25

    I have the same car but with facelift from 2018. The consumption you are looking for you get them with the 16" wheels, I have them and 4l/100 is very easy to optain. The Manual gearbox simulation I use it only when coming down hills / mountain, for the rest, leave it in auto. The beauty is that you never feel in the wrong gear and you don't have to worry about Clutches, belts and complex mechanics. Just keep 3000€ away that after 400000km you MIGHT need a new traction battery. To bad people buying useless SUVs are killing this category.

    • @AndyGrouch
      @AndyGrouch Год назад +10

      They sold very well in US. Europeans just see it as a more expensive Toyota, they rather buy Europeans or cheaper Toyota products, which is a shame since this car is a hidden gem. It combines all European executive features in one, BMW driveability, Mercedes comfort and Audi practicality, but not just as good as them. But what it does do win all of them hands down in reliability and customer service and build quality.

The quality of these cars is on another level to anything, bmw Mercedes even Audi haven’t got a patch on these cars on the build quality.

    15:38 It may not have been 60mpg, but you had been flooring it before the economy section and started with about 35mpg or so. That's a 34% increase in a few minutes, which is promising for someone who's considering a non-plug-in hybrid as their next car.

    Also worth mentioning that it does not have a conventional CVT gearbox, it is an eCVT. The name is similar, but the way it works is COMPLETELY different. It does not wine and it uses actual gears (planetary gearbox) instead of a metal belt, definitely does not suffer from the same issues as a conventional CVT does.

    Got one couple weeks ago. Same age, same color, same trim. 60k on the clock. Lovely to drive. Very relaxing. Yet to try on motorway but in London it feels like a fish in a pond. With full tank and 1 heavy passenger it's 45 MPG. With Average foot on the throthle. Absolutely effortlessly goes to 30 mph. Cockpit very comfy and it's on a smaller side. It kinda surrounds you. Real comfort feels. Keep in mind it's small and heavy car. And it gives you sensation of very controllable and featherweight vehicle. Cvt feels OK. Just need time to get use to it.

      Nothing wrong with the 3.5 2gr hybrid RX450h. I don’t find it boring at all, just effortless, refined and about the most comfortable cruiser you’d ever sit in. It has surprising poke and handles very well. Had a gs300 previously, rwd v6 auto. Beautiful to drive but flawed as they had too many issues and weren’t as reliable as the later hybrid newer shape GS but were a more luxurious compliant drive. The IS makes a lot of sense. Not quite as quiet or roomy as an ES but sportier. Reliable too. Great used buy, light years better as an ownership prospect than any German saloon.

    Am I the only who wishes this car actually is a 2.5l Hybrid V6? The same 3rd gen car does have a 2.5l V6 (naturally aspirated) in the ford of the IS2250 but its rare. I wish it has that engine the the electric motors. The ASC actually makes it sound like a V6 as well.

      well it is subjective but I would say harsh, with 18' wheels you can feel everything when the tires are at recommanded pressure. It is the only cons I have with this car but if you are used to german cars you could say comfy
