My advice: please send this video to every Lexus dealership in the US. Most sales people couldn’t point out ANY of these differences. Thank you for being so thorough and accurate. I’m leaning more toward the RX.
He talks of trivial details far too much for me. There is not much meat with the potatoes here.
I had the RX and hated the camera that watches you all the time. I don’t need to be scolded as I drive if I peek at the screen for a second. At the 10,000 mile service, I bought the NX. Same engine and power and I like it much better. However, they both want to drive you instead of you driving it.
@@waynepimentel1680 Do you know if it is possible to disable the camera?
I absolutely Love my 2024 RX350 Luxury, and everything about it! You would have to own one to know!❤️
I purchased an RX for Christmas. The ride is smooth and quiet. I am a senior citizen and getting in and out is easy.
I’m picking up my 2025 NX 350 F-sport this week! I can’t wait! ❤
Great choice!!!
@@GraceO welcome to the club 👍
My honest opinion on the size of the NX... it's perfectly sufficient for my family of 3. I am 5'7, my husband is 6 feet and my son who sits in the back most often is 5'9 and athletic built. We are not small people. And my son has plenty of leg room. We never feel cramped. The vehicle is actually very comfortable inside. The cargo could be bigger, but it's plenty sufficient for multiple large suitcases, etc. No, you can't haul a bike, but I never do, so...
Is it wide enough for a set of golf clubs?
@@t5e2 based on other videos I've seen, yes they fit at a slanted angle.
Your content is just getting stronger and stronger! Happy to see you almost at 20K subscribers now. I was here when you first started the channel! Love to see the growth! Keep it going, Dustin!
HEYY!! You are one of the original supporters for sure!!! Thank you for the continued support! One day we will get to 100K and you can celebrate with us!
This must be his mother that he was talking to on the phone. 😄
@@Mr21scott Man cut it out 😂
Excellent comparison….very informative. Thanks!
I own a 2019 RX350 and my wife purchased a 2024 NX450h+. I love both vehicle. Electronics of the NX is outstanding and the ICE smoothly transition when the electric runs out. My electrician installed a level 2 charger with an included long cable, able to charge the vehicle while it is outside. I am afraid of the lithium battery charging in my attached garage overnight, while I'm sleeping.
I can't wait until the solid state battery equip vehicles becomes available. 700+ range and 10 minutes charging says the future have arrived.
Oh great choices with both of those!! How has the range been in real world ?! YES I totally agree we are very close to a huge change in range and battery tech !
Excellent comparison video Justin. I did go and purchase the RX 350 two weeks ago. I love everything about it. BUT, I noticed a very annoying rattle in the dash area....even on very smooth pavement. It is currently in service to get that noise addressed (I am very leery on how they are gong to take care of that issue). The last thing I expected from a Lexus was any kind of rattle noise inside of its luxurious cabin. I have an NX 350 as a loaner car.......I do not like it. The ride is fairly rough, it is not as quiet inside like the RX and it feels cramped. I can't wait until I get my RX back.
Did they ever find out what the rattle was about ?
Your comments absolutely reflect mine when comparing the RX and NX. I'm now on my second RX Luxury model, and have been given the NX as a service loaner a few times. I can understand the "N"imble comment for sure, but your comments are so spot-on: cramped, rough and not nearly as quiet. Loved my '17 RX Luxury, and now am absolutely enamored with my 5th gen RX Luxury. And no, the turbo 4 is not an issue at all in my lifestyle. In reference to your rattle concern, my '17 Mark Levinson door speakers rattled (left front door first, then right rear door). Fortunately the service department took care of the issue both times.
Love my NX 350 FSport!! Great video!
My daughter chose the RX350H for the luxury - - however, I chose the 2025 NX350H for the MPG. I’m presently getting 39-41 and loving it, whereas my daughter is averaging maybe 28-29. Needless to say, both are very nice cars, the MPG wins over any other features our cars have.
Do you think the RX would get significantly better gas mileage if you were driving it? Driving style makes a big difference. I would love to hear the results of your experiment.
What the? Both hybrids are supposed to get the same mileage!
Rx350h theoretically gets 36mpg in city
I looove my NX. It’s such a great city car. If I had kids I’d probably upgrade to the RX
what about on long drives?
@@gosman949 oh it’s wonderful for that too! So comfortable. My lifestyle keeps me mostly in the city, but when I’ve had to drive a few hours out to see family it’s been a dream. Something about this car makes me feel so chill. Idk what the Japanese are doing lol.
I ❤ my NX 300 FSport. Its a 2021 so I guess a bit dated now compared to the new models but I still love it!
I absolutely love my 24 RX
I’ve had my 2025 NX 350H for a month now and I love it.
did you get a deal on it?
@@gosman949 I used the discount that they give Costco and Auto Club members. It brought me under invoice pricing.
💙 my 2021 Lexus NX 300..smooth ride & reliable.
The top shelf in the NX headlight houses the turn signal 🚥 when you have the triple beam version.
I love both that Nx is beautiful in the Front I would like to take the front grill of the nx and put on the Rx I would then be very satisfied
I love the NX,especially the front beast face😅
While I ultimately ended with an Audi Q5 which kinda was the sweet spot between these two in terms of size and roominess, this video greatly helped me. Thanks!
I chose the NX only because I like the grill better than the RX. I saw the older RX previously had the same grill as the NX. I would’ve chosen the RX if it had the NX grill. I pick up my NX tomorrow 2 days before Christmas. So excited!!!
It's funny how people have different preferences. For me RX beat NX in styling due to the grill on RX which I preferred! Hope you enjoy your car.
@@supriyasou3722 Thank you very much, I hope you enjoy yours as well.
My vote….thumbs down on RX grill.
The best RX is the 500H F Sport performance. Had it for 7 month, powerful and comfortable. Love it.
Great content, love my
NX 350h! Would like to see comparison of the same luxury packages in these models.
No front plates in AB or QC, and we're part of Canada. You might want to keep in mind that ON is not representative of our country. It's just a part of it.
NX front end absolutely trounces that of the RX. RX nose too prominent plus that grille is cheap and ugly.
yepper those uppity RX folks picked the wrong one!
Aesthetically the Nx is much more beautiful, the RX why does it no longer have the typical Lexus front? are they abandoning it in the new models? and the distinctive feature that has given character and made the brand famous in the world. before this design few people knew the Lexus brand. it's a shame they are taking a step backwards with the aesthetics
U are right about given brand character
The NX also comes with triple beam lights that is the car should have brought to compare
Ok, Dusty. We now need the Lexus 2025 ES Luxury vs Lexus 2025 LS Luxury 😊
OUUU GREAT IDEA! I just need to get my hands on another LS! Once I do I will be happy to compare
If only the NX was a tiny🤌 bit bigger
What’s interesting is that the NX is larger than the original RX. I bought a 2025 NX350h and my mom told me how she thought it should be bigger and how perfect the original RX was. She didn’t believe me when it old her that the old RX wasn’t any bigger. I had look up the specs and show it to her.
@@spades9048 that’s true!
Then it would be an rx
@@JOZoSo. and an RX L would be a TX
Should compare the Rx F sport
What is the MPG difference between the two? What is their rating? Also how different is the Hybrid versions of these two?
Maybe do two videos comparing the hybrid RX350 to the non hybrid RX350. Then do the same comparison for the NX 350 hybrid to NX non hybrid.
RX hybrid get 10 more miles/gallon and doesn’t cost much more.
NX just because it's already hard parking in narrow spots everywhere. If all retailers had costco style parking, I'd buy RX in a heartbeat.
Great content!
Thank you so much!
I like the extra room in the RX but I’m not sure if I like the profile from the rear door to the back. I would likely go for the RX.
if this rx would have that nx front face... uhhh that would be frkn amazing.
Hi Justin, I have a NX450h+ and I’m going on an overseas trip so I’m parking at the airport for one month. Are there any precautions I might take so I don’t come back to a dead car?
Really love the channel, thank you
I have a RX that is in the shop. My loaner is an NX. It is smaller, and the ride seems harder.
NX looks great but it should be bigger. It's based on the RAV 4 platform so to bad its interior is smaller in many areas, especially the cargo area. Also run flats suck. RAV4 has room for a spare so should the NX. Also like the RX but the base model should come with the 14" infotainment screen for the price this vehicle starts at. At least the RX 350/350H has a spare tire.
yeh he never talked about the elephant in the room--- having no spare tire in the NX and run flat tires.
Love that intro. ❤
Love my NX 350 ❤🥰
I just don't know why all these companies are reducing the seat depth making it bad for long legged people. Not enough thigh support in any standard seats.
I wish the Winter Package was available on all RX350s...It would be cool to see the L lit up at night.
I Love my NX 350h.
The RX looks like someone put face cover on it after they design it. The NX with the U shapes is so much better than the F Sport mesh
Is it just me? the NX style looks like 2022 RX f sport model?
but more expensive! Smaller and more expensive. What is wrong with this picture?
NX is more expensive? 😅
Correct me if I am wrong, but since this video is about differences doesn't the RX have a spare tire of some sort and the NX does not? Think having a spare is critical when making a purchase on a new vehicle.
I really wish they change that grille of the RX soon, its the one thing preventing me from buying that SUV
Why do you insist on showing us the F sport models of these vehicles? Most buyers will not be looking for that version. I know I won't. Talk to us about when Lexus might be installing their 5th generation hybrid system in either vehicle. It is such a big improvement over the 4 banger noise and unsophisticated sounds they make. Smooth and quiet is what we want!! I'm sorry but spending time on trivial details like body curve depths and front end facia are of far less concern to me. If I want something sporty I'm not going looking for something that has utility in its name SUV. Lexus has the RC and LC for those who want sport.
17:26 Body language says I don't like it 😂
Plan to change my 2023 Audi Q5 TFSI Quattro for Lexus RX-350 and this video actually confirmed my choice, I wonder if anyone has Justin’s cell# as I’ll be passing by Niagara Falls on my way back to Sault Ste Marie (where my family reside) from a US road trip by Lake Erie around Good Friday
I bought a 2025 NX350h in July. I do wish it was a little bigger but I didn’t think it was worth the price increase to the RX. I also like that the hybrid doesn’t have a turbo.
How has the ride been. It’s it stiffer than the RX?
Dustin, I hope you're paid well because you do a fantastic job explaining the details.
Wow thank you so much! Luckily for me this company takes great care of me!!
How can I also advertise for Them. Im really into cars I know more about it please help me I can do More than expected
Rx is more luxury and drives better and more safer. Nx is small and good for small frame people. Interms of bucker seats etc. Cost of NX should be 40k+ at max as its Rav4 size. but people are buying at 60k. Mind you these are 4 cylinder. Why would you pay 60k for 4 cylinder. Lexus will not survive many days with these models. NX and new GX is what is keeping it going. Soon the math will change. The options from competetors are high. These 4 cylinder turbo cost more for repair down the lane. Buy a naturally aspirated engine with physical buttons in the car.
the hybrids use a naturally aspirated engine and get the power boost from the electric motor rather than from a turbo engine.
The RAV4 is already a $40k car. The days of RX V6 ended years ago. They’re all 4 cylinders now…
But how many golf bags does each one accommodate, seats up and seats down?
I currently have a Highlander hybrid platinum and if I were in the market for a new car I would be looking at both of these. My choice however would be the RX. I also prefer the bigger vehicles and I like the inside to be roomy. Thanks for the vid.
Sorry but I like the RX grill much better than the NX. The NX reminds me the the alien creature the "Predator".
Me too! I’m over the same old front end design. It was time for a refresh.
Hello Justin: When did the NX come on board.
Originally back in 2015! However it did a big change in 2022!
@ Thank you so much for the information.
I got 2024 Venza has all the goodies of Lexus NX with less money and better gas Mpg. The new 2025 Crown Signa close the gap between Toyota & Lexus. Off course, Lexus has the name better interior touches and warranty.
I love my Rx350 from the day one 👍😊
I just love my NX 350h but I have the luxury package. I don't have children and I rarely have people in the back.
Those front grills on both vehicles are not attractive unlike the GX550 which looks very good.
It’s really hard to decide between the two. I thought I was sold on the NX before this video but now I’m not sure. The sportier NX looks better in my opinion but the luxury interior of the RX is more appealing to me. Currently I’m driving a 2023 Kia Sportage. Is the NX smaller than my Kia?
You didn't mention that the NX comes with run flat tires and so spare tire. I will never buy a SUV with run flats. Have run flat tires on my current car and the ride is horrible.
What are run flat tires
@@feverfan0 they still run when they’re flat, which can help you get out of bad situations like a flat tire on a busy highway.
the RX looks Ugly the NX looks Great
No need to be so classless and so crass. If you don’t like it, just don’t like it.
@@storyofmylife7080it’s just and opinion, you have the right to disagree
Nx for the front, rx for the rear. If they only combine those two.. :)
@@storyofmylife7080 I was just giving my opinion what I thought that's what the video is about
@@michigancane4883 No. It’s not, sir. You have no right to give your opinion on how you feel about the Lexus brand. Don’t let this happen again. Enjoy the rest of your day.
I hate the new style of of the front nose piece the RX. It stopped me from trading my current RX for s new one.
I am really trying to get used to it, but to no avail
Hi Dustin. I just purchased an RX 350 Premium Plus two weeks ago. Within a couple of days I noticed an audible rattle coming somewhere in the dash area. I took the car back and they kept for 3 days (their technician rode with me and heard it). Today they called me and said they could no longer hear the rattle noise so come pick up your car. I went to pick up my car started to dive away and heard the rattle immediately. I turned back and said it is still making noise. I said I do not feel a brand new Lexus should have any rattle noises. They told me to just turn up the radio and you won’t hear it. Is this how you treat your Lexus customers with a new car? I left the car there for them to go through it with a fine youth comb. I’m also calling Lexus Corporate office Friday morning. I’m fully let down with Lexus. BTW, the dealership is Tustin Lexus in Tustin, CA. I’ve owned many new Hondas and Acuras over the last 30+ years. Not one of them ever had any squeaks or rattles in the cabin area. They all had very quiet interiors.
Did you ever figure out the rattle noise?
Super unprofessional!
@@t5e2 yes. After the 2nd time I left the car in service and called Lexus Corporate Office, they lit a fire under the dealership’s ass to get to the bottom of my car’s noise issue. Service kept my car 3 more days and found the issue. There was something loose in the firewall and the front struts needed to be tightened. My car is now silent when I drive it. I’m loving it!
How does headroom (with a sun/moonroof) for someone who is 6' 1" or 6'2" compare between the NX and RX? Is there enough front headroom in the NX? Or does one need an RX to get adequate space? And if there is enough headroom in an NX, does this come at the expense of putting the seat so low that one loses visibility over the top of the steering wheel? Thanks!
I just ordered an RX. My salesman sat in the front and back to show me how my tall family might fit. He for comfortably at 6’3” and the seat was not reclined
@@Mochilover268 Many thanks!
Did you happen to test out the smaller NX re headroom as well? We like the small size of the NX vs. the larger footprint of the RX but are not sure if this is a smart decision re headroom...
@@CharPatton-l4gI didn’t look at the NX bc I’m still in the kid hauling stage of life where I run a small carpool. I also need the cargo space for Costco runs.
@@Mochilover268 Our last just left home so we're trying to downsize; everything in life is about timing :)
@ I have see several comments that the NX comes with “run flat” tires so the ride isn’t as nice as the RX. But you can change those out too.
The NX is so cute. I like the rx, but not a fan of the front
Why not compare them when they're BOTH F Sport models?? The RX F Sport looks better than the one shown here.
NO F Sport is avail on RX Boo!
I've driven a 2025 RX350h F Sport and loved it. But I'd really like to be able to add a bike mount to the car. Is that possible?
The tow package should have a receiver hitch to which you can attach a bike carrier.
Have both rx all the way.
The difference? RX's front grille is so ugly that whoever designed that needs new glasses.
I do miss the clock in the middle
I got a question, correct me if I am wrong , I here the NX and the RX both have the same motor so why does the RX “recommend “ premium gas and the NX “require “ premium gas?
The hybrid can run 87 octane. Otherwise 91 is plenty.
NX350 SPORTIER LOOK
RX grill is what made me buy a Tesla. NX looks amazing though.
Rx. I had one before hurricane Helene hit.
Best to get a RAV4!
I'm looks RX350 F SPORT The Best Car
That's not like any golden doodle I have ever seen!
Hi ? When the 2025 Lexus Rx will arrive ?
october
The RX has the more expensive look. NX looks cheesy and cheap. NX is not a luxury vehicle due to its compact design while the RX has the size and space of a midsize.
Why does size have anything to do with luxury?
I love rx f sport 350 2024
If only the RX had the front of the NX!!!!
What color the Nx ?
Atomic silver
Rx is more luxurious
Engine size please.
Dang! 2.4L + Turbo. Give me the V6.
Who’s idea it was to put that grill on the Rx ? They should have there ass removed for making that decision . What a way to screw up a car , and then you put the same engine on a bigger car so it has too strain itself more to pull the bigger car . I’m good give me the NX all day .
Can i say.. NX is just like a downsized previous RX model in & out.
Get me a good deal with a rx ill purchase a car
They have done away with the V6 in the RX😂😂😢that’s why they are pushing the Nx hello RX 😅is a lot better been driving ES RX for the last 20 years would like 6 dollars or 4 dollars
Get well soon.
I’ve had both and I have to say the NX F Sport is a much better drive than the RX 350, IMO. I’m currently in a 2022 NX F sport and it’s fully loaded. I recently went to look at the 2025 RX and the NX and I’m still leaning towards getting another NX. Not much of a price difference either.
Rx grill is not giving
The front end of the nx looks better than the rx. The rx new design is ugly AF.
el RX 350 h
The new version RX look ugly. The NX look better. But, the NX too small. Hope the new version NX make same size like the Toyota RAV4.
Thanks for showing.. But both are have the same problems .. Both too sporty.. Both have roofline too low. Both lack interior room. and both have poor outward visibility in all directions (this poor visibility hurts safe driving).. You say the Lexus RX 350 is a SUV??? SUV's have much more interior room and are bigger, taller vehicles.. Both of these NX and RX 350 are really just a hatchbacks..
Yeah, you should probably not buy one. But they obviously fill a need based on their huge sales numbers.
The front waterfall grills are hideous.
Talk of UGLY, Have you seen the HUGE Kidney BMW grills!
