In an oxygen sensor for installation in the exhaust gas system of a vehicle for detecting a concentration of NOx in exhaust gas downstream from a catalytic converter, in which the exhaust gas is passed through a protective layer to an electrode disposed at one side of a solid electrolyte in a sensor element of the oxygen sensor, the protective layer is formed with a combination of values of thickness and porosity which provide improved sensitivity in detecting low levels of NOx in the exhaust gas.
