Re: RLX Sport Hybrid Fuel Economy
About 30% urban, the rest suburban commuting.
It does well for having as much power and weight as it has.

Re: RLX Sport Hybrid Fuel Economy
I'd be happy with that. Is that what the car is telling you or are you calculating it at the pump?
My '08 RL usually shows ~26.2 mpg on the MID, but when I calculate it myself I'm getting more like 24.5 mpg.

Re: RLX Sport Hybrid Fuel Economy
Over 2,000 miles now and it looks like the EPA estimate is pretty much spot on (for me) and likely to stay that way: 30.5 mpg

Pretty sure the MID only calculates while moving. Time you spend idling/stuck in traffic will count against you at the pump but not on the dash.

Re: RLX Sport Hybrid Fuel Economy
That RLX sport hybrid is a beast of a car. Considering how big and heavy it is, is accelerates, decelerates, and handles like a champ. Interior quality is fantastic. Driving aids and other advanced technology is great as well. Only downfall to that car is the trunk space due to the (safe) placement of the battery packs directly behind the rear seats. This also prevents them from having the ability to fold them down.
Anyone looking to buy one should PM me

Re: RLX Sport Hybrid Fuel Economy
The KC1 doesn't have fold down seats, either. Some people don't like that, but in fairness it's an option in other cars of this ilk, if it's available at all.
Your cars would also have the heated steering wheel that we do not have in the USA.

Re: RLX Sport Hybrid Fuel Economy
The RLX Sport Hybrid's restart is a lot faster than the V6 TLX SH-AWD, too.
The TLX restarts with a regular starter motor and 12 volt battery.
The RLX Sport Hybrid's "starter motor" is for backup, and only used if the hybrid systems fail.
The restart of the Sport Hybrid is handled by the front electric motor. 47 HP and 250 volts...restarts are instantaneous compared to other start/stop systems.
