Have a 450h+ F Sport on order to replace my UX which also has been a fantastic car this will be my third lexus in the 9 years.
Hi which dealership ? Any markup ? Thanks !
I had a UX but it was tiny so ended up with a Jag F Pace, now just ordered a new NX 450H and cannot wait to get that baby on the road and get some miles on the clock
Utterly the best plug-in hybrid system in its class
I will choose the Lexus over any of the German cars.
the Germans drive better, are faster, have nicer interiors, arguably look better.
@@kristians2704 The Germans are utterly unreliable. I know, I used to own one and cost me a fortune in repairs, servicing, etc etc. Cr*p cars.
@@TL-xw6fh reliability is the only thing that lexus does better than the Germans
@@kristians2704 and seats and phevs. But I think having a car that works is most important
@@joey-pn3xe almost all of them are reliable for the first 5 years anyway
I just picked up my 2022 NX450h+ a few days ago. This car is truly amazing! Build quality is next level. Infotainment is the best Lexus has ever put out. The EV range is great and fits my daily commute mileage. I have yet to use hybrid motor. Given gas prices in the US, this car is paying itself off nicely!
What range are you getting?
Well done for choosing a great car. If you think gas is expensive try filling up here in the UK. almost twice the price like for like.
@@aquamarine99911 I have been getting around 39 miles on a full charge.
@@bondjamesbond9041 gas prices are getting out of control. I am glad to have it!
Don’t let ethanol + gasoline sit for too long!
This is the best in class. Reliable. Good to drive. Excellent quality. Comfortable.
BMW & Mercedes stopped selling their plugin-hybrids in the US. They couldn't compete with the range of the Lexus and reliability.
Used to own a brand new Lexus IS200 back in the early 2000s, it was a superb car with excellent build quality. Real shame they are not selling the current IS300 here in the UK anymore. Given the stellar success of the Tesla Model 3, an electrified or plug in hybrid version of the new IS saloon would sell really well.
We had an is200 & bought brand new is250, I really miss it too. I say if model 3 sells then Lexus should give us the is back.
If we win the lottery this is the car we will buy. The old infotainment put me off Lexus but this new set up looks great.
Lexus is easily my all time favourite car brand
I've been watching dozens of reviews of this new Lexus and this might be the best 👍🙂
The issue with lexus u dont buy for the way it look its the way it drive and the way it provides u comfort like u wanna do more and more miles
it is far the best looking car of them all.....
True
Nice review thanks 👍
I saw this same Lexus, (in Sonic white special paint) at the weekend, parked up next to my BMW i3s! Definitely caught my attention, and will be on my shortlist for a range anxiety free, upgrade this year! 🤩 🎉
Lexus is the king of quality (in terms of materials and reliability).
you haven’t been in a new German car interior then
@@kristians2704 Of course I have nephew Kristiāns (I’ve been in the X5 G05, GT63s AMG and the GLE-Klasse).
However, the Germans aren’t as reliable as Lexus (that’s why I call Lexus the king of quality).
@@kristians2704 german cars really aren’t as reliable as they use to be.
@@benaylott2013 since most people that buy/lease new cars only for 3-5 years, long term reliability isn’t that important.
So true. Owned a BMW, 6 visits to the Dealer in the first 2 years. Had a Lexus, 0 visits to Dealer in 4 years (did have to change the wiper blades once though) 😂
Ordered a 350 F Sport AWD a month ago with delivery estimated December….very much looking forward to it. 16 plate NX300 owner…
Is the AVS suspension fitted on F sport models stiffer than the standard suspension?
excellent review - spot on 🙂
I like the Car it's beautiful, good quality - reliable, good interior, very comfortable, and with new tech for infotainment. But, it could be better if it had 'Smart Fast Charging Technology with Curves' for example at least 50kw to 100 kw, which are very common everywhere. Also, the smaller battery in plugin hybrid could potentially charge much faster than the fully electric with bigger battery.
Having previously owned a PHEV for 4 years, you never carry the charging cables around with you - you leave them at home, plugged in to the socket. Lovely car though and on my shortlist.
By far the best review I have seen , but could have been much longer going into even more detail.
isn't it a ECVT not a cvt in these like that Rav4 ?
Seems that with tyres motorway journeys arent that great. Can you get different tyres when ordering
It looks like Mazda CX 4/5 .What I don`t like is the large grill.What is it actually used for other than it is a part of the styling.Audi was the first automaker who started the big grill maniac covering the most of the front of their cars.
Great design.
45 miles on electric? In Canada Lexus is only claiming 36 miles on electric. Does the UK version have a larger battery?
Very smart!
Honda had sat nav in the 80s. Mercedes s class was the first modern production car with sat nav
For my needs and preferences it’s hard to imagine a better all-purpose car. 😉👍
Other than the LF there was nowhere to go but up
everything is perfect, the rear wiper should be hidden like in RX, and by the way what is the ground clearance?
You should not choose a car because of the brand.
The car and its model must be earned in order to be bought.
Lexus is no heaven or makes you feel blissful.
It does not automatically mean that it is the best possible choice.
Not even every time,
not even close.
The comparison is always worth it.
In the series where the Lexus nx is,
it has a Volvo xc40, Toyota rav4,
BMW x1,
which are safer than the nx.
The Lexus NX Series doesn’t offer pretensioners for the rear seat belts.
Neck injuries occur with a 46% probability on a Lexus nx ride in a 50km/h (35mph) crash test where a dummy ( doll ) was used.
Here is results :
The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration does 35 MPH front crash tests on vehicles.
Neck Injury Risk :
Lexus nx driver 46% passenger 42%.
Audi a3 driver 45% passenger 34%.
Audi a6 passenger 41%.
Lexus is driver 35% passenger 41%.
Toyota avalon driver 35%.
Mazda 6 driver 23% passenger 53%.
Toyota rav4 driver 29% passenger 37%.
BMW x1 driver 32% passenger 31%.
Volvo xc40 driver 30% passenger 31%.
BMW x3 driver 21% passenger 38%.
Honda civic passenger 34%.
Lexus es driver 24% passenger 33%.
Honda accord 23% passenger 34%.
Audi q5 driver 22% passenger 34%.
Mazda 3 passenger 30%.
Volvo s60 driver 26% passenger 30%.
Audi a4 driver 26% passenger 25%.
MB E-Class sedan passenger 29%.
MB C-Class sedan driver 24%.
Toyota corolla passenger 27%.
Toyota camry driver 20% passenger 21%.
( I never sit on a Lexus nx or Audi a3,
it is more than certain.
If there is a crash that car is doing badly,
then it hurts and hard.
I prefer to walk, go by bike or taxi,
but I don’t go to this car ).
BMW x1 vs Lexus nx :
The BMW X1 has standard driver and front passenger side knee airbags mounted low on the dashboard. These airbags helps prevent the driver and front passenger from sliding under their seatbelts or the main frontal airbags; this keeps them better positioned during a collision for maximum protection. Knee airbags also help keep the legs from striking the dashboard, preventing knee and leg injuries in the case of a serious frontal collision. The NX Series doesn’t offer a front passenger side knee airbag.
BMW X1 is safer than the Lexus NX Series
The X1’s corrosion warranty is 6 years longer than the NX Series’ (12 vs. 6 years).
BMW pays for scheduled maintenance on the X1 for 2 years and 26000 miles longer than Lexus pays for maintenance for the NX Series (3/36,000 vs. 1/10,000).
There are over 43 percent more BMW dealers than there are Lexus dealers, which makes it easier should you ever need service under the X1’s warranty.
On the EPA test cycle the X1 gets better fuel mileage than the NX serie
Brakes and Stopping :
The X1 stops much shorter than the NX
70 to 0 MPH
BMW 170 feet
Lexus 183 feet
60 to 0 MPH BMW 122 feet
Lexus 127 feet
Passenger Space :
The X1 has 29.6 cubic feet more passenger volume than the NX
(101.2 vs. 71.6).
The X1 has a much larger cargo volume with its rear seat up than the NX
Lexus nx vs Lexus rx :
Lexus nx is cheaper.
The Rx has a larger interior.
In a crash test using a dummy (doll),
rx is much safer than nx.
Lexus rx price range is different.
Lexus rx and Toyota highlander,
both have the same and also better level of reliability than nx
( source : J.D. Power web pages ).
The car crash tests 4 stars each ( Toyota highlander, Lexus rx ).
BMW x4 vs Lexus rx :
The X4’s pre-crash front seatbelts will tighten automatically in the event the vehicle detects an impending crash, improving protection against injury significantly.
The RX Series doesn’t offer pre-crash pretensioners.
The X4 has a standard PostCrash iBrake, which automatically applies the brakes in the event of a crash to help prevent secondary collisions and prevent further injuries. The RX Series doesn’t offer a post collision braking system: in the event of a collision that triggers the airbags, more collisions are possible without the protection of airbags that may have already deployed.
To provide maximum traction and stability on all roads, All-Wheel Drive is standard on the X4. But it costs extra on the RX Series.
The X4’s corrosion warranty is 6 years longer than the RX Series’ (12 vs. 6 years).
BMW pays for scheduled maintenance on the X4 for 2 years and 26000 miles longer than Lexus pays for maintenance for the RX Series (3/36,000 vs. 1/10,000).
There are over 43 percent more BMW dealers than there are Lexus dealers, which makes it easier should you ever need service under the X4’s warranty.
On the EPA test cycle the X4 gets better mileage than the RX Series
60 to 0 MPH : x4 109 feet,
RX Series 123 feet
The X4’s front to rear weight distribution is more even (50.2% to 49.8%) than the RX Series’ (57% to 43%). This gives the X4 more stable handling and braking.
The X4 has a much larger cargo volume with its rear seat up than the RX Series with its rear seat up (23.7 vs. 16 cubic feet). The X4 has a much larger cargo volume with its rear seat folded than the RX Series with its rear seat folded (50.5 vs. 32.6 cubic feet).
Lexus rx are not among the top three.
The Toyota rav4 will be significantly cheaper than the Lexus rx or BMW x4 during the five-year ownership period.
Lexus rx and es are probably the best car models of the brand + LS.
The value of a new Toyota highlander car will fall by 35% in five years,
new Lexus es350 38%,
new Lexus rx car 41%,
nex Lexus nx car 45%,
new Lexus LS car ~60%.
I do not buy any Lexus
I choose the sedan car model myself.
Toyota Camry is at least safe,
although not the best in all areas.
car crash test 5 star in every segment ( unlike suv -> 4 star ).
- lower price ( than mostly suv )
- better reliability ( than mostly suv )
- better fuel economy ( than mostly suv )
- all wheel drive if you want / need
what could be better :
- brakes and stopping : more powerful brakes.
- a little bit better headlights
- corrosion warranty : 7 -> 12 year
- child locks -> could be better
- reliability -> it is good but a bit more is never bad thing
Thank you
I would agree wiper should be recessed above
why does Lexus use a eCVT instead of a DCT or regular auto transmission?
Think it's to do with reliability and fuel efficiency.
The answer is that simple. It's built for live! It doesn't break down and it fits with the Atkinson engine.
It’s mainly cos it’s a hybrid vehicle, the CVT is a lot more efficient than a regular auto transmission. The MX350 turbo has a regular auto transmission
To the title: no, the LFA and LC500 are the best Lexus’ ever.
Thank you.
I can’t argue with that! I test drove the LC 500 a short while ago, and I can testify that it is an absolute masterpiece!🤩✨🎉💥💨
It's pretty annoying to hear the same sermon at the beginning of every video.
Moral : dispense with the bobble on your beanie - simples really and inexpensive. Honestly ?
I hate panoramic moonroofs. Would never buy one
No good if you can’t afford it.
Gave up watching this video when he said 'I'm 6'2" so don't wear a bobble hat because it will touch the roof'. Absolute joke.
Sound is so low
I used to trust whatcar but there marking system for reviews are terrible. Tesla's score really high even though there reliability is questionable. Lexus traditional score low with what car for whatever reason despite being the most reliable in the class year on year. When I say score low I mean low like 2/5. What car takes subjectivity to another level they are similar to fox news. Beware of their reviews
Still seems crazy expensive compared to latest Kia/Hyundai's.
Not really in the same class though. Lexus is designed to compete with the likes of Mercedes, BMW and Audi. Comparing the Toyota RAV4 with the equivalent Kia or Hyundai would be a more appropriate comparison.
Kia and hyundai are mainstream brands, lexus is a prestige brand .
KIA/ Hyundai are good cars but Lexus is a Luxury brand and you will get superior fit and finish and customer service. Genesis (Hyundai's luxury brand) compete with Lexus. They seem good but at present don't have the service backup of Lexus.
Go and drive the new lexus and then the Kia/Hyundai and believe you me you will understand why
@@Gazmeizster_Wongatron I drove the new Kia Sorento PHEV, it was very good. Not comparable to RAV4 class.
"The petrol tank is 55 litres, so with the battery that gives a range of 475 miles". Let's do some maths (475-31)x4.55/55 = 36.7 miles per UK gallon. That's terrible !
Sorry to get all pedantic.
4.54609 litres per imperial gallon.
55/4.54609 = 12.0983 gallon tank.
475 mile range / 12.0983 gallons = 39.26 miles per gallon.
Although missing the official figures by a wide margin, for a car of that size, it's quite good.
Did I hear "Good milage for a big SUV"!? It's a compact crossover.. Not Big.. Not SUV.
Its the UK, most cars on the road are quite small compared to the US.
@@shivamarya5225 So it goes fom Compact to Big? and from Crossover to SUV? and What about the british Range Rover? Do you call that a monster truck or a heavy transporter truck in the UK?
@@Mc-Taboo okay the main point it gets good mileage in its class despite its size. And as far as names go range rover would be a large SUV in the UK but mid-size in the US where things like tahoe or suburban are called large. And the term SUV and crossover are used interchangeably by many people despite not being correct but usually most people arent such grammar nazis.
@@shivamarya5225 Range Rover is a Big SUV in America.. So you're just blatantly lying to prove your point even though you know you're wrong. And No professional car reviewers are not using the term SUV and crossover interchangeably.
And No it's never about grammar when you mislead people with mileage efficiency.
@@Mc-Taboo how is this misleading people? Do you really think that the guy was trying to intentionally "mislead" people about the mileage by saying big suv.
SUV 🙄
Cvt gearbox is a big NO
The CVT gearbox is excellent. A little vocal when you floor it but it’s silky smooth and very reliable. Unlike the jerky, unreliable DSG in the German brands.
@@TheLittleRedCali a little vocal ha ha it screams to full revs and stays there until you get to the desired speed, dual clutches are much more reliable nowadays unlike the old Powershift / DSG
@@petewatson9866 Pete you’re talking about a old style CVT. These transmissions are eCVTs and are totally different.
I’d rather have the new Tucson or sportage over this. Interior of this car doesn’t match the price at all
It is a glorified RAV4, an overpriced RAV4... and it drives like RAV4...
It drives a lot better than a rav4
@@joey-pn3xe It is exactly the same as RAV 4 mechanically. If you think it drives better try BMW. and you'll understand what it means"drive better". Lexus is a car for suckers, poor suckers....
@@vladepast4936 I literally went from an X3 to this. Your argument is like saying a BMW is the same as a Rolls Royce or VW and Audi are the same because they share parts. It’s not as simple as that.
@@joey-pn3xe All cars a different but some are the same because there is no difference between them. RAV4=LexuxNX350 because it is the same car. you can pretend it is different because of different badges but under the hood, they are exactly the same, period. And that is a fact. RAV4=Lexsus NX350.
I have a bmw x3 and I think it’s terrible for the money, cheap materials and constant recalls. After test driving a handful of premium suvs, I’ve just ordered one of these. Much better quality and drives way nicer.
