- 2022 Lexus NX 450h+ PHEV Review | Lexus NX Plugin Hybrid Review
Welcome to my Review of the new Lexus NX450h+ Takumi SUV, the first plugin hybrid car from Lexus.
This Lexus also gives us a fantastic new infotainment system which really puts the sins of the past firmly into the past as it's one of the better systems currently available on the market and looks set to feature in a host of Lexus and Toyota vehicles going forwards.
The Lexus NX 450h+ has a real-world all-electric range of 43 miles, more than enough for most people's daily commute. The boot is a very capacious 545 litres and the o-62 time a very respectable 6.3 seconds.
This is perhaps the best all-round Lexus SUV to date as it manages to offer desirability, fun and luxury along with that familiar build quality and reliability that we have come to expect from the Japanese luxury car brand.

Great review Jim, Good overview of all features.
Thanks 🙏
Excellent review
Glad you liked it!
A very helpful review Jim. I am a car rather than an SUV person and I am not an EV person. But I think that a PHEV is probably the sensible sweet spot between both technologies. I never had kids so I don't feel guilty about having a small fleet of ICE cars including a soon to be delivered V8 Mustang for weekends. However, if I suddenly developed more of an environmental conscience, bought a cardigan and wanted a PHEV, I would probably go for this Lexus based on your review.
Haha!!! If you were a bit closer I'd bite your arm off for a spin in that Mustang. Weirdly, although I have kids I don't ever feel any guilt for driving anything really.. I love a few EV's (IONIQ 5 and Polestar 2 for example) but it's because I love what they're brining to the table in terms of performance, design or features etc rather than the fuel they're using. Like you say, PHEV seems to make sense but the electric range is often not good enough for the EV aspect to be much more than a gimmick, this one just seems to be less of a comprimise and just works really well (in my use case at least).
Thanks mate great review. We can’t afford a new one (why would we say goodbye to 1/4 of the value in a year?) but this confirms my intention to buy an older 2nd hand NX next upgrade!
👍👍👍 Great car
Did you know if is recommend it charge every day? Great review TY
It's not to my knowledge.
Very useful video 👍
Just wondering how is your bmw gran coupe?
I was thinking of getting one
Appreciate your reply
I sold it as I lost my job. It was great though.
Do u recommend getting petrol or diesel?
@@sayed978 petrol requires less servicing and seems to have fewer common issues
@@DefinitelyNotAGuru what about the fuel consumption from your experience?
@@sayed978 it was fine, diesel is so much more expensive than petrol that the benefit is not what it was
Would like the have learned more about driver convenience and safety etc.
Maybe try AutoExpress or CarBuyer reviews - mine are a little different
the turn indicator is on left side
I hope the Australian version is on the opposite side.
👍
👍👌… what’s not to like 🙂
Nowt apart from the price
If, like me, you hate sunroofs and leather upholstery is, I wonder, a top spec model available without these?
The sunroof was an option I believe but I’m pretty sure it’s coming with leather 👍
Is this car fun to drive as the Toyota Rav 4 Hybrid was very dull and boring for me or would you choose the Kia Sportage Hybrid for the fun element instead? And have you driven the Lexus IS300h? Finally is the Honda Civic Hybrid still the top pick for you among the cars mentioned? Thanks!
I wouldn’t describe any of those SUVs as fun to be honest. The Civic is very much fun. The others are all about practicality.
@@DefinitelyNotAGuru Great thank you! Curious, have you driven the Lexus IS250h?
@@KM-vc7iy drove an IS about 10 years ago. I liked it at the time.
@@DefinitelyNotAGuru Is the civic hybrid better or similar to the vw golf gti? the gti is a car that I really enjoyed driving so i'm intrigued to know how it compares.
@@KM-vc7iy you really need to drive some; you can book a call via my website if you’d like to chat.
Super Thanks and we need and wish 8K Photos or videos in Real Best 8K 60fps or 120fps HDR10+ resolution clarity quality and Sound in full HD 3D Stereo Surround , Soon Please.
No problem, just send me the £15k of equipment needed and I’ll be happy to oblige 👍😁
What the Ev range?
37 from memory
4th
Decent effort
@@DefinitelyNotAGuru Appreciate the recognition 😜

Exact same Vehicle as the 2022 model.....Why change a GREAT great vehicle you found impossible to get! Was only available in Smog compliant states i.e. Calif & Florida....and then VERY very Limited, so econ 101 makes this car go up in price (if you can find one!, especially the "F" Sport 450h+) unlike 98% of vehicles where you loose your Proverbial when you drive them off the lot. So, " ~*~*~*RUN Do-Not walk to the NX 450h+ "F" Sport!
... . I own the Lexus 2022 450h+ F sport. Elegant and refined!.....Note the Heads Up display on the windshield W/8” & 14” Info on Dash board with Crystal Clear display on both, alone makes the Lexus better........Mine is In Atomic Silver Glows in the Sun Light with Lil" grey / Gold metal flake" and same Circut Red interior.. but with Electric battery...Has 306 Horse power 0 to 60 in 5.6 sec (Via Road and track at drag strip!.) **** BIG NOTE: This model DOES- NOT have a TURBO...But rather, a Naturally aspirated / Carb...........(important because it is well known that TURBOS stress engines)...SEE: th-cam.com/video/_xYnXRqheoI/w-d-xo.html ...ON Turbo issues = Very Bad!.....

(in all fairness) ......However, who cares the thrill is initial take off and tickets are for high speed & SPEED...Kill's! My car has Red Calipers against Powder coated Gloss spoke Black mags and All red "F" Sport Badges. Has ALL Nice Carbon Fiber on ALL interior some have Piano Black i.e. Center Consul arm rests dash board & rear center heater consul between seats. *** Don't mind at all making these kind of upgrades as when you drive off the lot and your *** Car, Note: As this particular vehicle goes UP IN VALUE: do you know of ANY other vehicle that will Go UP IN Value today??? MY 450h+ has gone up in value $17K at this writing!. FAR better built than Euro's (mine built in Japan) sadly, new releases are now being made in Canada! Canada is Union Shop, Like USA Union shops...no one gets fired.... for a hang over and bad work??? maybe).....

Have to disagree with you on this one mate. The price tag for this one, 63k, or even 40ish for the entry level model it’s just ridiculous in my humble opinion. I would never spend that amount of money for what basically is a Toyota Rav4 with a different bodywork. I would rather choose a Volvo to be fair. And for that price, you can even get an XC90 with seven seats and plug-in hybrid too
Before I spent some time with both cars I would have said something similar but it's a very different beast to the RAV4 despite them having some similarities, it's done so much better here. It's a really superb car. XC90 PHEV is about £78k I think.
I would highly advise you to test drive the rav4 and then the Nx. I did and I ended up with the NX450 f sport. They have the same drive train but quality is very different. It’s like Skoda and Audi.
@@joey-pn3xe my opinion is based on the hefty price tag only joey I’m sure the Lexus is a great car as the Rav4 is. I wouldn’t be considering buying neither of them, but that’s just me!
@@matteo1907atalanta I guess you’re entitled to your opinion however if you’re basing it on the cost then you have to compare it with the BMW X3, Audi Q5 and Merc GLC not the RAV4. They cost more and offer less in most aspects.
You will never get a XC90 PHEV for that price. And despite of the same powertrain it is a very different driving experience compared to the RAV4. Too many biasing here...
