What is the fuel consumption of GS200t?
The GS200t typically consumes around 7.5–8.5 liters per 100 kilometers in combined driving (roughly 33–37 mpg UK). Real-world results vary by market, drivetrain, and driving style. The GS200t was a mid‑2010s turbocharged variant offered in select markets, and official numbers differ by region and certification cycle (WLTP, ADR, or EPA).
Overview of the GS200t and its efficiency profile
The GS200t is powered by a 2.0-liter turbocharged four‑cylinder engine paired with an eight‑speed automatic transmission. Market availability was mixed—some regions offered rear‑wheel drive (RWD), others all‑wheel drive (AWD)—and fuel economy depends on drivetrain and how the car is driven.
Engine and drive configurations
In general, lighter, rear‑wheel‑drive configurations tend to post slightly better economy than all‑wheel‑drive variants, while tire choice and load also play a role.
Official fuel economy figures by market
Official numbers are published by regional testing regimes. The following ranges reflect typical configurations seen in major markets.
- Europe (WLTP, usually RWD with auto): about 7.2–7.8 L/100km
- United Kingdom (WLTP): about 7.4–7.9 L/100km
- Australia (ADR 81/02): about 8.0–8.6 L/100km
Note that these are test-cycle figures and will vary with year, trim, and certification standard. Real-world mileage is often higher, particularly in city driving or with heavy loads.
Real-world factors and expected range
Several factors influence actual fuel economy, including driving style, road conditions, climate, and maintenance. The following list highlights the main variables most drivers report.
- Driving style and acceleration: steady cruising uses less fuel than aggressive starts and stop-go driving.
- Terrain and traffic: hills, stop-and-go traffic, and urban congestion raise consumption.
- Drivetrain: AWD generally consumes more than RWD due to added mechanical load.
- Tire type and pressure: low rolling resistance tires and properly inflated tires help economy.
- Vehicle load and accessories: heavier loads and roof racks increase drag and consumption.
In practice, expect real-world numbers to be somewhat higher than official figures, with typical combined results for many GS200t owners landing in the high 7s to low 9s L/100km (roughly 26–32 mpg US, 31–37 mpg UK) depending on conditions.
Summary
The GS200t offered a balance of turbocharged performance and efficiency for a mid-size sedan, with official figures in the mid-to-high single digits per 100 kilometers and real-world results that tend to be slightly higher. For precise numbers, consult the specific market’s official brochure or WLTP/EPA/ADR data for your model year and configuration.
