What is the fuel consumption of Lexus nx200t?
The Lexus NX200t typically achieves around the mid-to-high 20s in combined fuel economy on US EPA ratings, with front-wheel-drive models generally a touch more efficient than all-wheel-drive versions. Exact figures vary by model year, market, and tire choice.
To understand the question in detail, the NX200t was a 2.0-liter turbocharged four-cylinder model sold in the United States from roughly 2015 through 2017. Fuel economy depends on drivetrain (FWD vs. AWD), trim, and testing conditions. Below is a breakdown of the commonly cited numbers from the period, with notes on how they translate to real-world results.
Key figures by drivetrain
Before listing the typical EPA ranges, it helps to know the standard drivetrain configurations during the NX200t’s US run. The figures below reflect common EPA estimates reported for 2015–2017 models, and can vary by year and tire/wheel setup.
- Front-wheel drive (FWD): roughly 25 mpg city / 32 mpg highway / around 28 mpg combined (about 8.4 L/100 km combined).
- All-wheel drive (AWD): roughly 22 mpg city / 30 mpg highway / around 25 mpg combined (about 9.4 L/100 km combined).
In real-world driving, actual fuel economy tends to be a bit lower or higher depending on traffic, terrain, maintenance, and whether the vehicle is carrying a heavy load or using aggressive tires.
Model-year and regional notes
The NX200t was marketed in the US primarily in the 2015–2017 model years. In some regions, names and trims differ, and later NX generations shifted to other powertrains (for example, NX 250/ NX 350 or NX 450h+ in the plug-in and hybrid variants). If you have a specific year, market, or configuration (FWD vs. AWD), I can provide the precise EPA figures for that exact setup.
Alternate measures: liters per 100 km (L/100 km)
EPA mpg figures convert to liters per 100 kilometers as a useful benchmark in non-US markets. Approximate conversions for the NX200t are:
- FWD: roughly 8.0–8.8 L/100 km combined; city around 9.0–9.9 L/100 km; highway around 7.3–7.9 L/100 km.
- AWD: roughly 9.0–9.8 L/100 km combined; city around 10.5–11.0 L/100 km; highway around 7.9–8.8 L/100 km.
These values provide a practical sense for non-US markets or for fuel-consumption discussions outside mpg terminology.
What to check for your vehicle
To verify the exact fuel economy for a specific NX200t you own or are considering, consult the vehicle’s window sticker (EPA ratings), the owner's manual, and the on-board fuel economy readouts. Real-world tests and independent reviews for particular model years can provide additional context, especially if tires or driving conditions differ from the standard setup.
Note: The Lexus NX lineup later expanded to other powertrains in many markets, with figures that reflect the newer engines and electrified options.
Summary
The Lexus NX200t generally lands in the high-20s mpg range combined for US-market models, with FWD typically a bit more efficient than AWD. A typical rough band is about 25–28 mpg combined (FWD) and 22–25 mpg combined (AWD), with exact numbers varying by year, market, and tire size. For precise figures, check the specific model year and drivetrain or consult the official EPA ratings for that vehicle.
