You can get information similar to this through the Lexus Link App but this of course is based on the theoretical mpg that you see on the dash rather than true tank to tank measurements 

Hi Bill - it’s on an ap called Road Trip LE where you enter the fuel amount on each full tank fill up and mileage and it produces this information 

These are my tank to tank fill-ups over the last 1600 miles - the low one was a long trip up and down the M6/M5 to Devon - never the best place for a Hybrid from previous two cars experience 

My UX ex demo came with Dunlops RF was registered end March so wonder if they are on later deliveries?

Suspect this may be due to the tailgate being made of plastic and it’s not the most rigid part of the car 😂

Like: design and quality of interior, smoothness and quietness of ride, excellent seats

Ambivalence: Trackpad - it’s a bit meh but can get by with it

Dislike: No auto folding mirrors, no touch entry, no auto boot - on a £35K car these are really to be expected but I can live without them, hard plastic against your leg on centre console….

Having just come back to the fold with a Lexus UX from a Kia Stinger GTS which had “normal” tyres, the Dunlop RF on the UX are way quieter than ultra low profile sport tyres as fitted to the Kia - I had two punctures in 14 months with the Kia and the inconvenience of not having a spare would have been outweighed by run flats if they had been fitted!

Nothing wrong with saving £150/month! A part of me has always wanted a pickup. The (poor) economy will put a small dent in that mind. Great for trips to the recycling centre too. All the best, hope you enjoy it. I'd be interested to hear how you get on with it. Cheers

Well..got my L200 delivered at 7.40 this morning - first impressions...**** its big! about 2 feet longer than the NX but about the same width - a bit jiggly in the ride due to the leaf spring rear suspension but given that the NX isn't the most planted car to drive in any case, isn't a big change - if I had been coming from my previous car, RR Evoque, I might have been more aware as that was well solid on the road, but other than that its fine - quiet, sits high on the road, so far on a very tight engine back from Settle to Stone has averaged 36mpg - Barbarian spec lacks for very little: Sat Nag, Leather Seats, auto dipping mirror, auto lights, auto wipers - better in a couple of areas than my SE spec NX......time will tell but it seems pretty good to me and my colleagues at work are all wanting one!

Well I have now had my NX for just about 2 years and I have driven 55000 miles of mixed motorway and A and B roads and my long term true tank to tank mileage is 39.3 which for a 2.5L petrol is pretty damn good.

However, I am sorry to say that I am letting it go back to the lease company for tax reasons and getting an L200 pickup instead that will save me around £150/month in tax!

i have thoroughly enjoyed the NX experience, it has never faulted in the 2 years and has been supremely calm in its driving and I will certainly look at owning one privately in future.

This will be my last post so - so long and thanks for all the fish!

After 42000 miles in 17 months, my long term tank to tank mpg is still 39mpg - I don't think many large diesel suv's will better this and I know I would rather drive a quieter more environmentally friendly tank than one of those and that comes from someone who has had diesels for the last 30 years.....

I've now timed it both with a gps tracker and good old stop watch and got just over 7secs in mine so either I've got a good un or most people drive like pussies!

Bloody hell this is a quiet forum! Timed mine again on a perfectly flat road with a GPS timer at 7.1 secs to 60mph - not at all shabby and that's a big fo to the naysayers that say my RX is better than your nx etc brigade!

Stock Bridgestones have lasted 29000 on fronts, rears barely worn, Michelin now on fronts and seem much more secure in wet - wait to see on mileage but history suggests much more than29K....

No - it's just a different method of radio broadcast like am and fm which are broadcast in analogue whereas dab is broadcast in digital like most terrestrial tv stations these days.

Clicked over 30,000 miles today in 11 months - long term actual, factual, mpg is currently standing at 39.62 which I'm happy with - for a 2.5L petrol auto 4X4 I think this is very acceptable - while I achieved around 45mpg out of my diesel manual Evoque, I'm pretty sure an auto 4x4 version wouldn't get close to that - certainly looking at the figures achieved by various car magazines on many diesel 4x4's, most struggle to get mid 30's  and you have to deal with that horrible thick stinky stuff at the pump! I love this car!

My figures are actual factual tank to tank averages not the computer readings - I do sometimes achieve better than the dashboard readings but it's a rare occurrence - usually 1-2 mpg lower than the figures on the dash but tbh the computer in the Lexus is way closer than most if the other cars I have had in the past......

I regularly run junction 17 to 19 on the M6 which is about 13 miles at 50 mph and it does wonders for bringing up my mpg - it hunts from EV to engine on for pretty much all the way and adds about 2-3 mpg to my current average by the end of the stretch - tend to ruin all the good work by then nailing it down to J15 where I come off.....

Paint looks fine - a couple of minor stone chips on the leading edge which is not untypical of any of my cars that have done these sort of mileages in the past......best paint for hardness was surprisingly on my Evoque which was virtually unblemished after 3 years and 100,000 miles

Up to nearly 28,000 miles  in 10 months and my actual tank to tank is still hovering around 39.5 - that's over many motorway miles and fast A road journeys - I do at least 400 miles a week on motorway and a leaden foot certainly drops the average.......

SE has a reversing camera which negates the need for sensors does it not? 

I regularly drive mine like stink and utilise its 0-60 in around 7 secs and still get 40mpg - think that's a great return for a large capacity petrol and a diesel 4X4 is unlikely to better that....followed a Jeep V8 thrashing a windy B road at 60mph +VAT, eh hem, and I bet it was getting 15mpg whilst I was basking in around 38 last week and easily kept up with it.....

Looks good although like most fuel computers, they tend to be over optimistic on actual figures achieved - only accurate way to measure mpg is to record brim to brim using something like Road Trip LE to record it - in the 24000 miles I've done since Christmas I've had a variety of figures - best at close on 46 and worse at 35 when new - long term average is 39.7 and slowly climbing as latest few fill ups have been over 40 - probably due to the warmer air......

During my anal brim to brim research of fuel economy, I have found that normal standard unleaded from mainstream fuel supply's, such as esso, shell etc., give the same economy as supermarket Super unleaded and that standard supermarket fuels give poorer economy.......

Latest update - just completed 20,000 miles and another service by Lexus Stoke - again everything fine - although I get an annoying thrum sometimes from the climate control which they couldn't find as it is intermittent and didn't play up today - tbh, it seems to be when it's sunny and hot which it was anything but today.....

mpg is slowly increasing with long term tank to tank average rising above 39.5 and last few fill ups have all been above 40.

The rest of the experience continues to be all good with no major squeaks or rattles, front tyres still have a few thousand miles left in them, rears barely worn at all (to be fair, I got 100,000 out of the rears on my Evoque!) and it has enough room to get all my bass and pa gear in more easily than the Evoque as the load bay is longer with the seats down.

I play around with the controller tbh - whilst in France and on the quieter D roads I left it in ECO and managed a genuine 46 on one tank but it does feel like you have a rubber ball stuck under the accelerator! In the main, the bulk of the 19000 miles has been done on Normal and the odd spurt of Sport - you have to learn to accelerate and then back off the revs/power meter as soon as possible and keep it as low in the ECO range to maximise economy. It can be a challenge but doesn't detract from driving around in superbly quiet and comfortable vehicle......
