Exciting stuff starts at 3:38
@Khb 888 We've done the NX 450h+ plug-in hybrid, or do you mean the regular NX 350h?
450h+ video here: th-cam.com/video/DlEMRZ525WQ/w-d-xo.html
@Khb 888 That’s strange.
We’ll see if we can line up the 350h at some point for you.
Thanks for watching 😀
Having owned a BMW X5 and a Lexus, I'll take Lexus every day. Why? Reliability, resale value, cost of servicing, technology and value for money. I also like their design and performance. Lexus are so reliable its not funny. Our X5 was absolute junk - ABS, central locking, A/C and A/C fan all shit themselves. Wife bought the X5 new for $135K in mid 2000s - it was the 4.4 V8 petrol model. When it worked it was nice but, we couldn't wait to offload it.
But still they say x3 has more sales than the NX. Well probably what made up that number are the leased x3s that will be returned before the warranty expires. 😆
I know 4.4 liter is not basic model and costs more
But was it really 138k back in mid 2000s???
Its like 100k for the model above x5 40i, the v8 which isn’t the full xm5 model
@@reddevil6585 yes mate, $135K. It was optioned to the max and very expensive. A great car when it worked but, too often let us down with reliability issues.
@@Cammo-vp1gl lol dude what year was this
Right now most expensive 2025 x5 m60i is $110,00 that’s not the full m car but has the 4.4 turbo
2025 x5 m is $134,000-140,000
A) prices were lower 15 years ago
B) you are saying it was just the mid level 8 cylinder turbo but the the full x5 m
Or you are talking about x5 m with markups and extra options & tax & extra warranty etc
@@reddevil6585 laugh all you want, I can't be bothered looking up the current prices or justifying my wife's purchases to you. I can tell you, in Australia, the prices of luxury Euro cars has always been ridiculously high. Especially so in the late 80's through to 2000's. For example, in 1999 a BMW 540i Executive sedan with the same engine as the X5 was listed at $150K a 740iL was $208K - I remind you that was 1999. X 5s were not around at the time. I don't know if you are in Australia or not but, the car was bought from Bib Stilwell BMW in Essendon. Do some proper research before declaring your ignorance. Have a nice day.
I would prefer the 3.5 V6 up front, a dinosaur of an engine but silky smooth and proven. Punters love reliability.
And it would actually suit the model name lol
This new powertrain is so much more exciting. This coming from a 2021 IS350 owner. I was really impressed with the 2.4 turbo in this.
A nice Toyota 2GR would be cool, and it was offered on the compact RAV-4 for a while (fastest Toyota at that time). In this age, a 2GR is heavier, less efficient, etc, than a turbo 4. I agree though, a 2GR with an 8 speed would make this thing butter smooth.
I really think Lexus should invest back into their ‘F’ division, imagine an NX F with an Twin Turbo six cylinder. Or an RX F with the V8 from the IS500 and of course an LCF and a return with the ISF. Lexus could really make a unique proposition to buyers in comparison to BMW and Audi
I don’t see reason why not. 367hp NX500h F-Sport Performance may be on the way.
Take my money!
Nx & Rx are both front drive models
With v6 turbo you might get torque steer.
But it would be nice to get more powerful options
Rx500h Is your best bet
Excellent and very reliable car.
For once a Lexus that doesn’t feel like they raided the Corolla parts bin. Looks modern and slick inside, and no weird joystick/mousepad - love to see it.
i find that the toyota 4 cylinders are actually rather loud. we have an es300h and compared to the 450h we used to have, its much louder. I wonder how it goes in the NX.
My NX350 has 50K miles now with no issues
Almost 1 second slower from 0-100 than some 250ps ish german rivals. I guess the 279ps rating is a bit too optimistic.
True . Compared to LandCruiser gx. This is 600kg lighter and only 0.1 seconds quicker???
205 kw 1.8 tonne lexus nx 350
227 kw 2.4 tonne LandCruiser gx
I don't know what their doin over their at the Lexus division. But all their new cars are slow for the power to weight ratio
Germans will definitely rate this engine at around 220PS haha
The answer it’s simple is just that how the engine gives you the power for example the Germans give you most of the power for more time and in this Lexus gives it for to little time
Usually german cars rated at wheel horsepower, and at is "sustained" output. Because that when it benched on dyno, they pump more power than rated. Meanwhile, japanese car usually rated at crank horspower. some cars even worse, rated at gross output not net output. And JIS rating usually get higher number than din or other standard.
But aside from that difference, most lexus car itself was focusing on smoothness rather than performance, even if it was F sport model. Only some (usually true F model) that focusing on performance.
There’s a lot more at play than just power numbers when it comes to acceleration times. Weight, aero, tyres, drivetrain, all play into it.
Lexus needs to work more with the gearbox
Seems under performing given the torque curve. Mazda’s turbo 4 with 250 hp, 320tq, in the CX5 does 0-100kms in 6-6.2 with an old 6 spd.
My guess is Toyota is sandbagging the launch to lesson driveline shock.
3:00 2.4L Turbo 4cyl revving noise test
This sounds far less refined than the CX5 turbo.
"Less powerful rivals from Germany" have less power just on paper because they underrate their engines. They have more power than advertised and also have a way more aggressive launch control. Without it they have almost equal acceleration.
Exactly. And having driven multiple Lexuses, I can tell you that they are not tuned for sporty driving at all. They are very comfort-oriented vehicles.
@@brandonczw same here my xc60 t6 2010 would smoke this Lexus all day and another xc60 t5 awd 4cyl is also quicker it’s embarrassing only thing I don’t like is the handling from Volvo’s their average at best.
the truth is Japanese are overrate on paper and having poor tyres and poor suspension fitted on car, it makes the car feel clumpsy after 2-3 years of driving. lexus is the exception that being clumsy to start with comparing to those German rivals
@@ar12. Your volvo has 2x worse fuel economy and that T6 engine is not reliable. And isn't any faster than this NX 🙂.
@@dixonli2994 have a 11 years old japanese and it has great suspension. On germans you have to repair that suspension every 6 months.
German 4 bangers with less displacement spank it
8.3 to 100? there exactly 279 horses?
BMW X3 30i has 185KW and does 6.4 seconds. What is up with Lexus?
I know I was thinking the same thing, it’s the ZF gearbox, the ZF eight speed is just fantastic, and even the sdrive X3 can do it in six seconds, most people get 6.2 6.3 a lot of factors go into it…
@@nicholasbabeaux2052 I think Aisin is making now their gearboxes. A well acreditable japanese gearbox manufacturer
Nice
I think this one looks good than the rx
This is next g camry engine
Yes
600kg lighter than the new LandCruiser GX and only down 22kw yet it's only 0.1 seconds quicker???
What's going on with the Lexus devision?
Every new Lexus tested is so slow for the power to weight ratio.
Yeah I know the LandCruiser has a lot more torque tho.
show me a link where the landcruiser does 0_100 in 7.1 secs.
It’s about 7.7 I guess, you didn’t read it right
I only liked the new chime
Wow! 21 deg Celsius? Isn't it supposed to be winter in Australia? 🤔 🙂
Doesn’t get that cold here tbh. 21c is reasonable for a warm winters day.
@@User-cb4jm Depends on where you live in Australia.
It was 21C few days ago typically only during the day. Once it gets dark the temps plummet. Based off previous videos it seems they do their testing near Picton which isn’t too far from where I am.
In Melbourne we wake up to 0 degree Celsius in the morning
@@Patomelb Is that the actual temperature or the feels like temperature?
Bloody small brake callipers for such big wheels. Miss match.
Not bad
This is exciting! How about NX350h ? I heard some people say it is as fast as NX350 !
shame the fuel mileage does not seem to be where it should be for this. With thoughts of this engine headed to the tacoma, this gives me no hope that a 30mpg tacoma will ever be on the horizon. Hate to say, but ford again is ahead of toyota by 5-10 years. I continually decide to choose Toyota over ford or other manufacturers for reliability, resale, and lack of continual ford problems and recalls.
I get 26 MPG with mixed driving and 28 MPG on my daily commute which is 70% highway 30% city with my 23' NX 350. Pure highway I get 32+ MPG which isn't too shabby for a high-strung turbo 4-cylinder. If you drive a lot of city it's going to be worse no matter what you drive, unless you get a hybrid.
@@nacsmxer that's true. Still that is good mileage. Not going to get Prius mileage unless you well rive be a prius
TRACTION CONTROL OFF!😂
Please try the 350h!
test Toyota avalon please
Why is this crossover so heavy?
Because AWD I'm guessing.
do the brake lights flash on purpose on hard brake?
Yes. Emergency brake lights 👍
There are two solutions:
1. Turbo diesel engine about 3000 ccm, 6 cylinders
2. EV
Consumption is too high, suv is too heavy
5:52
Just a straight 4cyl bigger capacity turbo engine with average fuel consumption and performance. And no hybrid or new technology in this F sport model which is disappointing for a Lexus. Basically an old tech car whereas the competition has advanced.
This car is for markets that do not mandate low emissions. Also where petrol is still cheap.
Not a fan of that interior. The red doesn't do it for me.
Why does this car, at 4:22 take off like a jet but only manages to get 7.32s 0-100, compared to this channels Cerato GT video where it took 6.66s but visually it looked so much more slower. On paper the Cerato is faster but this Lexus looks like it takes off much faster, but has a somewhat ordinary number.
Because AWD vs FWD in the Cerato
SUV tends to launch better off the line than a sedan but have less top end speed.
Plus Lexus seems to overrate their engine power on their new cars. I've noticed new Lexus being tested by pdrive all run very slow for their power to weight ratio.
Naked cables in luxury cars, typical things customer don't want to see!🤔
traction control…
We get it, Lexus is reliable and they have lower cost of ownership than most. But what else do they have to offer? Their interiors always look dated. The infotainment in Lexus models isn't great, their powertrains are always lacking in performance. I dont get it.
Id much rather a BMW X3, Audi Q5, GLC300 or Volvo XC60. To me Lexus models drive like Toyotas and im not into that.
Normally I’d agree with all that, but the new gen infotainment is great in this car as it ditched the joystick and the interior looks modern unlike Lexuses of old. Seems to take off well too, so I don’t really see the old criticisms applying to this NX specifically. The car before this, that was selling up to last year was a dinosaur.
Maybe you haven´t owned an unreliable car as those you mentioned, you have no idea how frustrating is to own a car that spends more time at the dealer for warranty issues than with you driving it. For me Lexus reliability is more than enough
@@tacuazinful I mean my parents had an 01’ Audi A6 for many years, had no major issues with it. They gave it to me with 120k mi and I drove it to 220k mi and the only things I did was valve cover gaskets, and an O2 sensor. Then I sold it, and the guy I sold it to still drives it around. I know everyone calls German cars unreliable.
But in fact I have owned an unreliable car. 2008 Buick LaCrosse. It went through 3 transmissions, wheel bearings like no tomorrow, leaky sunroof, check engine light, I had to get it towed from my house to the shop numerous times. Luckily there’s other reliable vehicles out there besides Lexus.
I test drove all the vehicles that you mentioned except XC60. Driving 2 Volvo’s growing up so Volvo is out. I bought lexus NX. Audi Q5…trash. BWM X3 not comfortable at all, only look good. Glc300 is the best, drive smooth, interior is nice, but maintenance is costly. Nx is also nice and drive smooth. Maintenance cost is cheaper than the German cars. That’s why I picked this one.we will see reliability after several years since Lexus added e-latch system and other stuff. I am happy with my purchase so far. Enjoying wireless charging, CarPlay, ventilated seats. Very basic but if you want to have all the same features with the German cars, prices are going out of the roof.
Sounds like an A 45 S 🤔
Yea 100% Ay lmao
Because the gearbox is pretty rubbish ...
this guy cant drive, you have to atleast hit redline to get the most out of the engine .
We tried manual mode and revving the engine further, and the times were slower. Keep in mind the video is just a video - not timed. We do lots of testing with the Vbox off-camera.
@@PDriveTV yeh but your videos is misleading to viewers because you do quarter mile times (400m) and you guys don't tell the audience that its is standing still at the starting points because i don't see you do any proper launchers. There's a different between standing and launchers at the start of the timed quarter miles.
@@jinmo390 Sorry, not sure what you mean there. Are you referring to rollouts? We don't include any rollout in our times.
As always, our videos/tests are not to try and find the absolute record-record time for every car. But more to show our audience what to expect from a new model, under very reasonable/everyday conditions.
Additionally, you can compare our results with other cars we have tested, because they are all tested in the same way and on the same piece of tarmac. It's never a good idea to compare one tester with another tester, especially if they are in different countries. Hope that helps.
@@PDriveTV what i only am referring to is when u do the 400m time....is the car going at the initial start of the mile is on "stand still "(which is not revving before u take off) or "launching" aka revving it up at a certain rev range to get a good reaction time on start up. Plus i never really see you even go close to redline, the power of the engine make the most at or near redline.
Elevation???
