It’s gorgeous. My mom has waited over a year for this car and finally had to go way out of town to get it. She picks it up next month 🥰🙌
Awesome to hear she’ll love it!
Extremely helpful. He speaks pretty fast and moves through the touchscreens pretty quickly. As I’ve gotten used to my new NX, I go back to this video to rewatch and pick up new information every time.

Awesome thanks guys for nice video
omg ur a life saver i needed this video, i was searching for this type of video all week 😭
Glad I came in clutch :) any questions after you finish watching let me know!
After numerous test drives of different cars, just yesterday placed an order for the NX350h at the Executive trim (as a musician, the ML sound system was the biggest selling feature for the upgrade). Thank you for this video - it's nice to dive deeper into the features we didn't look to closely at during the test drives. Also thank you for the driving POV video previously! Hope you and y'all end up loving the vehicle, and thanks again for the content
enjoy the WAIT!
That’s awesome Alex I hope it comes to you asap! Glad you are liking the videos, more to come on it to get you ready for your NX 👀🥳
I saw the sound system review from Daily Motor of the NX350 and I think it's totally worth it to get the Executive trim.
@@micheltran7115 I just bought the 2024 NX350h, Ultra Luxury package (arriving in June) - I thought about the executive option but just didn’t think the sound was worth another $3.5K CAD.
Question : Do you know of a full EV with a gas motor engine?
Great overview. Sounds system sounds great!
It’s bumping with some great beats 🎧
Looks great and a very good review. I have owned a NX from new and is coming up to eight years old now. The best car I have ever owned by a mile and I will be buying another when I decide the time is right. Thanks again.
That’s awesome to hear. I hope this new generation has the same reliability as yours which I am sure these will! Exactly do it when the time is right for you :)
im curious about the maintenace cost can you share about your experience?
@@christiancabrera5464 the only costs are a once a year service, which I pay monthly for to save having a large bill in one go. Obviously changing tyres when I need to, I changed two last year and am due to change the other two in March. Lexus extend the warranty for free on car sup to ten years old as long as they are serviced by Lexus. That is it, I have not had to pay any other costs since I bought the car back in 2015. I had a Lexus CT before this current car and had no additional costs either. Hope this helps.
Great review. Was looking for someone to walk through the interior features of the UX
Thanks Dien :) We are loving the NX so far!
I ordered a 2023 GLC 300 back in Feb and it's still not here so I looked at other vehicles. The NX350 was like the first car I looked at and I bought one the next day. I wasn't even considering a Lexus but glad I did because I think the redesign looks great and I think the cheaper maintenance and longer term reliability will serve me well in the long run. I told them I would only buy one if it has the Mark Levinson's stereo though because the stock stereo was pretty poor.
Glad you came to the Lexus conclusion! It’s a great SUV and will be the most reliable of the bunch!
What about AM/FM radio or SiriusXM? Do they have live radio recording control where you can rewind live radio? You missed some things here on the infotainment system I was looking for!
Love this. Thanks.
Ps. How is the interior holding up? I love this color but wondering if it stains or shows dirt easily over time??
Hey so watching another review on this car, he mentioned that the car will practically drive itself as long as you rest your hand on it. Not necessarily hold the steering wheel during cruise control. Just in case you haven't already tried that.
Great Review!!
Thanks for the heads up Omen!
Can you disable the wireless charger, or is it always on? I can’t see a button in your video.
There's currently not a night drive video on TH-cam of the 2023 NX350H. Can you please do a video and demonstrate what the interior looks like at nighttime?
I’ll do that :)
Beautiful and classy car, lexus quality and luxury...
100000%
Please demonstrate the interior ambient lighting. thanks
I’ll cover this in my next video!
One day I will have this car.
Hoping you can :) Plot a path to get there and if and when it does make sense pull the trigger!
Do you know what the slat on the sun visors are for?
love mine!
What a video! 🔥💯💥 Super informative and perfectly executed. 💪 Thank you brother. 🙏 What head camera are you using?
Thanks my man welcome to the channel! Using a GoPro Hero 10 strapped on a hat 😂
@@carswithsonduren Brilliant! Being North York born and raised, it felt so good to see that scene of you on the QEW passing Jarvis 😃💪🔥
Thanks for the review! What is your feeling with the ambient lighting at night, is it bright enough?
You know what. Not bright enough. I wish it was 20% brighter.
@@carswithsonduren Thanks for the reply
how noisy is the cabin at high speeds? some owners hate the runflat tires
Nice deep dive! ✅ Next level analysis 👍
5.6/100! Wow 👍
Option packages breakout? Minimum configuration to get 14” display? And Negatives?
Links for winter tires and rims?
So far true average has been like 6.8L/100KM but we are in the winter right now so it should improve as the weather warms up. All packages except the base "Premium" comes with the 14" display. So far, no big negatives. I am going to make a video of the cons specifically soon. The Lexus app can get buggy but a force restart fixes it.
Here are the winter wheels I am using, they are Lexus replicas: factoryreproductions.com/shop/lexus/fr-80/
Using them with the Michelin Xice Tires
@@carswithsonduren Thanks buddy.
18” or 17” rims? I know there’s a calliper issue with the wrong size on the 350h.
Your attention to detail and honesty makes you stand way ahead of the car review pack. ✅
18s! That way it won’t mess up with the odometer too much. 235/60/18 for the tire size! Really appreciate the kind words Billy :)
@@carswithsonduren You’re welcome buddy. Keep up the great work! ✅
When I dim the instrument cluster at night, the vehicle isn't retaining the setting and goes back to maximum brightness the next time I drive. Does anyone know of a way to have it retain the brightness setting? Every car I've ever owned, including my Prius, left it where you last set it except this one.
Congratulations.. I currently own a Lexus IS250.. this Will possibly be it’s replacement .. ❤
Thanks Lark! I still have my IS250 as well super reliable and fun! How many KM you have on it?
It seems like everyone that has an IS250 is considering another Lexus. Mine is 240K. I beat it to shit and it still works.
@@carswithsonduren it doesn’t wanna break .. & it’s known too probably be Lexus least reliable model.. but heck this thing been running like a clock .. so if it’s that unreliable I’m definitely not experiencing that myth 😂😂😂..
@@micheltran7115 I’m 97K.. my only headache has been tires nothing has went out yet ..
Great video! Which package comes with those black rims? I love the look! I am looking to get this same color combination. Also, does this have the detector that tracks if your falling asleep or not looking at the road while driving above the steering wheel?
Thanks for the reply
So I got these aftermarket. Yes it does have that lane control assist. www.auroratire.ca/product/lexus-replica-r224-aurora-stern/
@@carswithsonduren thank you! 😄
Anytime if you have any other questions, just let me know. :-)
Nice interior color
I think so too!
do you get the gps on the base NX 350h?
Great review! Do you park it in an enclosed garage or outside? Thinking of getting one but concerned about car theft in the GTA and cannot park it in a garage. I know it's the RX that's targeted but am still anxious and was wondering if you also have any concerns/preventative measures.
I park it outside. I would do all the preventative measures. I have multiple cameras and many others systems in place like IGLA which will get thief’s nowhere. www.carsystemsinstallation.ca/what-we-do/igla-anti-theft-systems/
Did u get dealership to install so warranty not voided?
No I had an authorized installer do it. Can’t void your warranty unless it’s proven this caused the problem.
Nice video. The hybrids are so hard to find.
Worth the wait. We love ours so far! 1 year since ownership already!
Hi, I have a same vehicle but having trouble setting the seat position to a key do you have a video on this?
When you’re in your driver profile, are you holding down set and then pressing the number on the door to save your memory position?
is there a sentry mode....security cameras? dash cam? great video btw
Thanks man :) no sentry mode unfortunately or security camera system that comes with the NX.
Any opinion on the electronic rust protection device that Lexus offers? I believe it’s by Diamond Kote
Honestly, I haven’t done too much research on it. I have heard about it though not sure if it’s true effectiveness.
Hi Sonduren,
Do you feel like the 10 speakers system is good? I wanted the updated system but I was told there is a chip shortage & that would hold my NX up for months. Thanks for all your videos.
Hey Cara! Thanks for being a subscriber and watch the videos :) Look, me and my wife love music. Would we have loved the ML system? Yes. Is the 10 speaker Pioneer system an audiophile dream? No. But we are not extreme audio enthusiasts, the base system sounds great for all our music on the go. We also did not want to wait and felt the stock system was perfectly adequate. Unless you are an audio junky, you can skip the upgraded system if it means getting your car faster IMHO.
@@carswithsonduren thanks for the info! I’m moving forward & it should be here end of May/ early June.
Awesome keep me posted!
How’s the wireless charger working with your phone? I have the same phone as you and have had bad experiences with car wireless chargers
Try a thinner case, also try positioning the phone to the top left on the charging pad. It is now working great for me!
Nice video! Does this package come with the advance parking feature?
Thanks Jade! Only the executive package comes with the advanced parking feature.
How do you quickly turn off the sensors when you go through the car wash?
Just press the park assist button to disable. And gtg
How did you do the reverse or drive and shows on the screen?
Yes full 360 camera will show on the screen in reverse.
How to disconnect from an SOS call if it was mistakenly pressed?
Interesting I’ve never tried that before. I’m not actually sure how.
How do you turn on the air flow to the rear seats? I have turned the flow regulator in the rear, but no air is flowing.
Turn off S-flow in the settings!
Is this the body style on the FSport version? I thought they were the only ones with the black top.
This is not the F sport version. This is the Ultra Luxury version and it comes with the black top and panoramic roof!
Thanks so much! This is really helpful. I’m planning on trading my 2015 RX 350 in for the hybrid. I love the body style of the ultra lux!
Does anyone know if you can disable the start engine beep sound 2424 Lexus NXH? It’s a little annoying for me
I’m not actually sure but the next time I get in, I’ll play around with it
What is the fuel economy of combined hybrid per 100km?? I have booked one sonic chrome 2024 hybrid.
About 6.4L per 100km
2024 nx 350 h luxury is diff buttons on steering wheel left side and right? no heads up display on yours?
Interesting what is different?
@@carswithsonduren left side no center push button in middle of 4 way circular arrow buttons same on right side steering switches plus one or 2 other buttons removed. We just got car so we do have heads up display and steering switches are touch sensitive to heads up display. now I suspect thats why some of the buttons are now removed from steering wheel, since my post but your tutourial helped alot for sure. Tell you what I worked on manufacturing as a test engineer. This car is blowing my mind with this technology
@jjohnson8977 that’s exactly why you have the package above us with the heads up display! I agree with you, love how everything is packaged together and we have been loving this SUV!
What about the head room? I sat in a 21 or 22 and found it pretty low.
Sitting in mine right now. I’m 5’9 and lots of space.
Sonduren, how much does it cost to fill up the car?
Also, would you say you put gas every 2 weeks? Or how often?
Because we are both working remotely I’d say once every three weeks. We still do drive a lot and far to see family and friends.
Question one depends on the fuel price and how empty the tank is.
Question two depends on how much you drive.
So both incredibly dumb questions 😂😂
can you switch between MPH and KMH on the speedometer
I don’t believe so but I’ll double check.
The dash on the passenger side is very plain, I feel that it should of had some leather stitching similar to the seat trim colour or door trim wood etc. Apart from that it's a nice upgrade of the previous NX model
They are actually adding this to the 2024 model they read your mind :)
Hi! I had 24km to empty and low fuel light didn't pop up. When low fuel light should come on?
I got it at 40km
Thanks for the review, For NX 350H, I read that 91 Octane is recommended but 87 should be fine, any advice if I like to keep it for the long term?
I see you already responded to a similar question. all good! Thanks.
Correct 87 is fine :)
What are maintenance costs like? Is this premium or regular gas?
Regular gas! Honestly, the majority of the maintenance is about keeping up with the oil changes every 8000 km per the manufacturer recommendation.
I have a 2023 NX350. I have a usb with music on it. when I put the key in the usb port of the car, I go to music and go to sources and it doesn't see the usb key. do you know what I need to do to get it to work?
Odd. It should work?
@@carswithsondurenI found out that the usb stick needs to be formatted using fat32.
Did I hear you say, you use regular gas on this? If you do, can you feel any difference vs premium fuel?
Yea regular! I tried premium on my first tank of gas and noticed no difference.
I would recommend to use super. Time will tell. In my IS250, I just had some misfiring on random cylinder codes. I mean, it took 14 years for these codes to appear. It is due to the fact that I should use Shell super gas and not Ultramar super. There is too much carbon buildup in my injectors. Seafoam seems to have fix the problem also.
@@micheltran7115 exactly 💯. The red light will show on the dashboard…. Emission errors? My mechanic said. So do what the manufacturer says and you don’t feel sorry. Cost $$$$ more but it’s safe for a long term 😊
Very nice video. Is this SUV quiet on highway? I mean when above 70+ mph. My current volvo is quiet around 50 mph but becomes terribly loud when drive on highway (70+ mph). Thanks!
I have some videos of highway driving you can check out, but it’s not the quietest SUV in the world. It is not terribly loud, but you should definitely take it for a test drive and judge yourself!
@@carswithsonduren will do! thx!
Nice review. How much you paid for this?
MSRP for this Lexus was 64,000 CAD with the Ultra Luxury package.
Did you replace chrome finishing with black?
It comes like this from factory.
@@carswithsonduren thanks. I like Toyota in Canada add still eye bird view. Mine will not get. It was removed by Lexus from the order. I like you have cooling seat. Mine will not. But I get HUD and tazuna steering wheel. I will have same colors. Actually my 350h just left Japan and heading Europe. So 2 months left. Seeing your black roof started a discussion with my wife and we go with piano black sticker. I subscribed and waiting for more videos while Im waiting for my NX350h :)
That is awesome I hope it gets to you as soon as possible and thanks for subscribing lots more videos to come on the NX :)
The mirrors dont fold in when you shut the SUV off. Is there a setting for that
Yea there is a setting. I changed it recently to fold!
@@carswithsonduren I was shocked how little my client at the house I was working at knew how things function or even that they were there… Lexus delivery was terrible. waiting 7 months for a new SUV and then dont show you how everything works when you spend 70 and change… as an example. She had headlamp washers didn’t know she had them or how they worked. How to get the mirrors to fold in, block heater cord in the hatch trunk had no idea what it was or where to plug it in. Found the drivers carpeted mat in the back hatch under the carpet cover.. how to fold the back seats down.. She had a QX50 before
@@BZ1340Well people should maybe read the manual !
My car spec says heated and ventilated . What is the difference between heating and cooling and ventilated ?
hot and cold
Ventilated is the cooling through the little holes in the seat!
Really? 😂😂
Does this vehicle absolutely rely on runflats? Can I swap the entire wheel?
You can swap out to any type of rim wheel package you want. For my winters I went with non-runflat tires.
This is irrelevant to this review but as a current older model Lexus owner I wish it had a spare tire even if it means losing 1mpg. I know flat tire rarely happen but it can happen at the wrong time. Imagine you are out in nowhere in bad weather with your family and have to wait hours for a tow truck to arrive. What if it happens on Sunday around tiny cities when most tire shops are closed, then where to get towed to? That can ruin a road trip in a hurry.
Valid point and I do agree with you. I guess the hope is with the runflat tire. You can make it to your destination. I’m sure they’re doing this for fuel economy and weight savings of course.
I'm also interested in purchasing the NX 350H Ultra Luxury, but I'm torn between the NX 350 F sport's appearance and the NX 350h's fuel economy... If your purchase wasn't for a family vehicle, would you have still opted for the hybrid model, or would you have opted for a vehicle with a sportier appearance?
Honestly, outside of the adaptive suspension of the F sport model there isn’t anything other than that performance wise that separates it. I would still go with the hybrid model, because you still get a lot of that power with the battery providing additional punch and torque. Obviously the superior fuel economy is the icing on the cake as well.
I was curious because I had seen your reviews of the two vehicles. I appreciate you responding so quickly. Thanks
Anytime. Also, you can be rest, assured, reliability of the hybrid powertrains has been talked about in the forum fairly reliable. Big warranty to back it up as well.
@@carswithsonduren in the UK right now, as long as you have the car serviced at a Lexus dealership, the warranty is extended 'free' each year up to ten years old! As far as reliability goes, nearly eight years of trouble free ownership speaks for itself. Thanks again for an excellent review. 👍
I collect mine next week in the UK, 350h Fsport….will replace my 7 year old NX300.
Will Lexus charge for software updates or is it automatic?
It will be updated for free.
Where's the spare tire & jack kept on the hybrid model? Seriously.
Unfortunately, it’s not included. I was surprised as well. The explanation is that because they come with run flat tires that it’s not required, but you can buy separately.
All thelexusmissing one good safety future it is auto rear brakes when there is a object behinds
I love this Lexus so much, and importantly the wifey as well. Buyers remorse? 0
Exactly the same car we are gonna to buy in a few months as soon as my son get his license, he will inherit my wife’s 08 RX. The way we spec the NX H is base plus power rear door, moon roof and other features we don’t really need, MSRP around $46-7K plus tax fees.
Very nice! He still gets to inherit a great reliable SUV with the RX!
@@carswithsonduren yep. 154K miles, all maintenance up to date including sparks plugs and coils. Oil change every 6 months since birth and transmission fluid drain/refill every 30K miles. Hopefully will last another 100K miles. Just took a 1k miles trip from Bay Area to LA, ran flawlessly. Was gonna take my 17 ES350, but RX has more cargo room.
Now that is some great religious maintenance schedule! I expected to last another 200K miles easily with that type of great maintenance. Plus down there not having to deal with any rust is a bonus!
@@carswithsonduren hopefully so. After my son goes to college my daughter is in line. Perfect cars as teenagers’ first car and we know the history.
I have a new nx 350 …. Can’t even turn the radio on, can’t find interior light etc
Can you read a manual?
Please let us know why all this Lexus infotainment system cluster blinks always very ugly .......?
It’s the camera
8:56
Does this car have a panoramic surround camera which provides a 360 degree view along with a bird’s eye view?
Yes it does!
Just received a 2024 350h premium but it does not have the button as you do, do you know if there’s anywhere else the panoramic view can be found?
@karankanda7994 which package did you get it?
@carswithsonduren It was the nx 350h premium package, the website claims that the car has the view but I can’t see it when reversing or driving
@karankanda7994 very odd. I would check with your dealer.
"The passenger does not have lumbar support, thats ok" No, its not, im driving a 2015 Volvo XC 60 and both passenger and driver seats have it. Well, this is a deal breaker for me, too bad. Maybe the RX has them?
K..
Keep your volvo then
why not include the 2 most important things : engine and the price.
I talked about those extensively in my previous videos, which you can check out! This was meant to be an interior walkthrough.
Nx350h has a terribly harsh drivetrain. Terrible CVT transmission. Really surprised Lexus made this. All the features in the world cannot overcome this flaw. I drove recently at dealer.
Perhaps if you slowed down, just a bit?!
I’m too fast to slow down my friend.
What's "Terrain mode"? No where do I find exactly what the "Terrain mode" does or why and when one would even want to use it. For instance are you familiar with an AutoMeter 3699-00406 Tach Gauge that determines rpm, stall speed, shift point LED signal light and ET calculator? No, I didn't think so. Just like I never heard heard of "Terrain mode", nor its purpose. Nor can I find any "in-depth" explanation within the 10,000 page User Guide (which is basically USELESS!) about this setting/feature............just like many of the so-called "safety features" in the Lexus which frankly cause more driver distraction than any normal careful driver should be exposed to.
In the front of the Lexus over 10 year not change to 2023
To be fair, it has evolved over that time.
No mention of the ridiculously narrow seats that are much worse than my sonata. Lexus designers are morons for making my knees hit on both sides even though this is a midsize suv.
I would not buy a car with run flat tires. I want the best quality ride which includes the quietest ride. A $70,000 plus luxury car should provide that. In 44 years of driving I had no problems using high quality tires with a spare tire in my the rear of my car. Lexus should rather have Michelin tires with a spare tire. Sorry Lexus that is a deal breaker.
Lexus NX 350h average price is 50k nowhere near 70k.
Are you kidding me that’s not a review that you talking about nonsense come people talk about what matters
I have a lot of videos that go deep into the NX :) what else are you looking for?
I think the Volvo xc60 is better
What specifically did you like vs the NX? Curious! I personally wasn’t a fan of the vertical center screen and found it a little too “spartan” on the interior overall, but curious on your take.
@@carswithsonduren no shade, but I just feel like it looks more luxurious! The materials they use are better. For example, the nx has hard touch plastic on the bottom of the door panel whereas the xc60 used soft touch.. and the exterior looks more mature and classy whereas the nx looks more like an upscale rav4. Lexus is nice and reliable, of course, and Volvo is average in reliability..but it’s just something about a Volvo! The nx is almost more compact than the xc60.. and both have 4cyls, but the Volvos 4cyl is more refined and smoother.. The standard mild hybrids are so good that the start stop system is so smooth that you can’t tell if the engine is one or not.. The Volvo is quieter than the nx and has the most comfortable seats ( designed by the ACA) American chiropractic association..
I did sit inside of one, but I didn’t actually go for a full test drive maybe I should!
@@carswithsonduren I'm a Volvo fan. The NX has a plusher ride. The Volvo a more European type of firm ride. And I'm not sure the Volvo is quieter as the suspension makes more "thump" noise over bumps. Both are nice. I like the Lexus but wish they'd do away with glossy black. Volvo has a bit too. Overall NX has more buttons and that's better in some ways. With Volvo, you interact a lot with the Google screen and it's small in the xc60. The next-gen Volvo's have a much bigger screen but those are more minimalistic than the current ones and BEV only. And they have fewer buttons.
btw, I have a Volvo sedan. My sister has a Lexus RX.
Thanks for the insight there Benjamin, I feel the same way, but your take on the driving dynamics is helpful. I prefer the Lexus in that case.
