• 2022 Lexus NX 350/450H...
I'm a HUGE fan of PHEVs as I find they're perfect for almost everyone. You don't have to worry about plugging them if its not convenient yet when you can, you can drive them just like a regular EV. The new 2022 Lexus NX450h+ PHEV is perfect in almost all areas and offers almost no compromises. - ยานยนต์และพาหนะ
No regrets with my NX450h+. I picked it up in late March and it did turn on the engine when it gets too cold. Even with EV mode. I've been able to get 84.1km on a charge.
How cold was it? Thanks for the info. 84 kms? That’s amazing!!!
@@EverydayReviews2022 was above 0. I think it is 3-4 degrees Celsius. I'll be doing a video when it gets that cold. My TH-cam channel talks about my ownership of the NX450h+
The head rest moves 3 locations forward as well on the F-Sport, amazing feature.
I have a base NX450h+ since end of May this year. (my 3rd Lexus) Just love this little nifty thing. There is a lot to like in this car. It is comfy, powerful, fairly roomy, high from the ground, AWD, has a great infotainment system and is very frugal. 3.4l/100km so far on 7000kms +, and this includes few road trips with no battery charges. I charge at home, but do not care charging if I am on a 4 days business trip. Went 81 km on a single charge with no AC, and usually gets 65km out of the battery.
Owned a f-sport for 2 months, simply the best system out there. We got 42miles without AC on, and it is going up slowly. RFT is surprisingly quite. With a much smaller battery than a BEV, means it is much lighter, less stress on suspension. Regarding the nav turn-by-turn on HUP, it only works with Apple using apple map, and Android using google map/ Waze. It won’t work when you use google map on IPhone. Keep up the good work!
thanks very much for the video 🆗🆒✅
Great review. This car looks to be for that niche of people that want a reliable CUV (and don't need more than the CUV storage space within), very comfortable drive, everyday driver, with daily commutes below 37 miles for mainly EV, and no range anxiety on those vacation road trips.
I bought the for 450h+ and it is amazing. So much so that my wife has taken it over.
i would absolutely prefer the PHEV. Trouble is there are only 27 total listed for sale nationwide, and probably all of those are pre-sold anyway. 😞
Sad YES!...However for US, the ones who bought it right away and did our proper research saw how this will go up in price...Show me another car that will do that...Maybe the C8 corvette if you bought @ 60K...however the market is Now saturated and they are drooping in price VERY VERY Quick!......the appreciation is through the roof (ECON 101 supply...& demand)...Lexus of Beverly hills are getting $87,000.00 for this car and guess what it is worth it............ IF YOU CAN FIND ONE as these are simply going up in value.........I never use Gas and oil........HOWEVER I have The option.
Oh Port Mann bridge, I go across it many times a week lol.
This blue color is so hot. Always been a fan of Lexus but since I switched to Tesla model S I can’t do gas cars anymore. But when Lexus has an all electric I will be back! Lx600 all electric would be great.
Model S is my favourite Tesla. Very nice!
Hmmmmmmmmmmmmm? LQQK's as if the only GAS you are obviously willing to get in a Not well built at all Tesla (See body lines / integrity of Line up of seams and God awful wod on dash finished by a three year old No quality / gloss nor fine wood AT ALL...Very utilitarian interior w/ a no grill look!!!) your GAS will come from sitting 2-3 hours at a pole somewhere if you can find one and Freak' n waiting....OUCH! not for me!...I want options Elec & Gas i.e. Quality PHEV!
And it would be wonderful if they were available. I was set to get one and learned the day I was to pick it up that the tax credit expired 3 days earlier.
I want a plug-in model with DIRECT 4.
I have a Sorento PHEV driving in the New York City area, I enjoy it so much as it has the best of both worlds with pure EV power on short trips and good mpg on long road trips without fear of finding public chargers. The car does not have a heat pump, so I made it like a game during my first winter in this car to turn off all heat with my jacket on so it did not trigger the gas engine. I know even if I have to turn the heat on (when my family is in the car) which triggers the gas engine, the mpg should still be excellent. Absolutely no regret buying this PHEV from Kia. The Lexus NX450h+ is a great PHEV of course but I don't think anyone can say it is a great value.
base model NX450h+ ultra premium model is qualified for $5000 rebate in NC now.
Some negative I found in this car for this price range
- lack of panoramic sunroof
- can't open and close all windows by remote key (you can do it in European car)
- prefer physical buttons for air-cond and door locks
No more federal tax credit.
No sound system
One thing the BMW DOES NOT have though is reliability...... most buyers will take reliability over driving dynamics any day all day long......
Were you driving on highway 1 in vancouver?
Yup
I have a 2016 Lexus NX200t, which has been excellent. I have recently looked at purchasing a new car, but it is crazy right now, with long waiting period and being at the dealerships mercy has put me off. Besides, my current NX200t is excellent. My next car will probably will be another Lexus and an Hybrid (over straight gas). I wouldn't consider the NX450h+ PHEV because of the steep price increase from Hybrid to PHEV. To me it simply isn't worth it, I don't believe in wasting money! That's why I buy a Lexus over BMW. Thanks for great, informative videos, I really enjoy them!
Thanks
Hmmmmmmmmm? you Sir "R" wasting $ every time you go to the Gas station...to say nothing of the time spent in said station waiting while some clerk is on a Cell phone...simply drive to work and consider coming home and plug in to 120V for the drive in the morning back to work...Oh and Do-Consider My 450h+ F Sport has now gone up $ 17000 If you can find one my orig price was 64K OTD!
So starting next year you can get $7500 back on this or are these not made in US/CA/MX as well as the battery not made of qualifying materials? What kind of HP do you have when the battery is empty, is there any power left? Oh, this has a CVT..... great review! However, have a PHEV you have an engine still that you have to maintain, so I am still debating on waiting longer for a full BEV. I am probably fine with a 200 mile range, but really want 350 or more just so I do not have to think about it. Oh, like that proximity sensor closing the hatch!
NX450h+ is made in Japan, along with RAV4 Prime, so no tax credit.
If you're fine with 200 mile range you should buy an EV with 200 mile range. Getting an EV with 350 mile range (just so you don't have to think about it) means sacrificing efficiency due to the weight of the extra batteries that you're carrying around all the time and rarely or not at all using.
@@toronado455 very true. But for many that’s hard to prove. Maybe in time. Also I live in 4 seasons. So heat pumps will help. Thanks for the info!
Well it’s too hard to get one without stupid mark up $4k to $15k or long wait US
Can this phev run air condition for 1 hour stopped on full charge?
Absolutely.
I'd be curious as to data on how many owners plug the vehicle in every day and how often the EV only mode is used over a given year. Do you know what the wh/mi rating is in EV only mode?
I didn’t record the wh/mi unfortunately. If I owned it I would for sure plug it in every night as long as I remembered it wasn’t too lazy. It’s going to depend if you have a convenient area to charge. If you only have street parking or live in a apartment building, there could be issues.
You charged it overnight....what level of changing, 1 or 2?
12 hrs level 1
2.5 level 2 with 6.6kwh charger.
Level 1
@@EverydayReviews2022 thanks
Level 2 with 50 amp 240 vac will charge in 2.5 hours.
What's not to love? Well...you can't find one ANYWHERE!
Unfortunately that problem is industry wide. Can’t get anything unless you order one these days and then you have to wait.
UPSIDE of your " Problem .....IS a blessing to those of us who realized the 450h+ F Sport.......now going for 93K increasing in VALUE...&as for BMW..."Check Engine Light"
Why.... now it seems just about every car reviewer is praising the new NX, when they had complaints about it on their first review ?
Loved it then and still love it now. What were people complaining about? My only complaint is the lack of ala carte options, that’s pretty well it.
@@EverydayReviews2022 The size. The run flat tires. The door opener. The tire noise. The touch sensitivite buttons on the steering wheel. Rear visibility. The lack of physical buttons. But for me other then that sizes and run flat tires these are minor issues.
@@michaelvella8511 If thats what you want why not ask reviewers to complain about reliability issues of german cars its expensive parts? Poor reliability of kias and hyundais should also be added in the review
At $60k+, the price of this NX PHEV is a little steep, esp when the RAV4 prime is $45k.. And its when the yen is so weak.
Most toyota dealerships tacking on a 10k premium on the prime, so makes nx interesting.
👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
~*~*~*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)... Simply said: see euro cars shop time & inevitable “ Check Engine Light CONTINUALLY!!....this car combines the Elec Batt and engine to achieve *89 miles per Gallon ( Uses 87% octane / Regular gas according to user manual) in Hybred mode with HIGH torq, And VERY quick out of the hole...Jus' blew the doors off a 735i beeemer...albeit for only a block ...( I am no dummy a V* will eventually pass many cars in the long dist. (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. Installed Carbon Fiber on ALL interior Piano Black i.e. Center Consoul arm rests dash board & rear center heater consul between seats. Don't mind at all making these kind of upgrades when you drive off the lot and your *** Car Note: goes UP IN VALUE: do that with any car today??? FAR better built than euro's (mine built in Japan) sadly, new releases are now being made in Canada! Like USA Union shops...no one gets fired for a hang over and bad work??? maybe)..... However, Lexus is Far more reliable...Far better Re-Sale that Euro beemers or mercedes Check Engine Light Gucci headache) .......indeed mine has Gone UP in price...Not many cars you can find Like that!... IF YOU CAN FIND ONE ANYWHERE do grab it!......"econ 101".....Has (3) elec. motors gett'n 0 to 60 in 5.6 sec (road and track) HIGH torque QUICK out of Hole!......~*~*Never do I use gas..... gett'n 46+ miles per 120 Volt charge (real world driving my experience.) and NEVER USE GAS Frean'n inflation caused by “Elections Have Consequences”!....Almost Silent operation in elec....So do your research, PLEASE......as this is Far better than any European beemer, mercedes and korean etc. All those are depreciating the moment you drive off the lot BIG TIME! …....And are UN- reliable offering to say nothing of the: GAS HOG unproven G 70, & RDX not worth mentioning. Z Best of the BEST F Sport 450h+ ! ….One more thing, Jus' a heads up!......My wife drives the RX 2020 model...Consider putting Michelin's at $1000.00 0n / @ ebay deal is out the door and balanced......... on your NX 450h+ F Sport............ replace the Idiot Run Flats that the dealer wants a $1200.00 extra for warr because like me, You WILL eventually get a flat and the Run your WALLET Flats are required to replace??? are you freak'n kidding????....Michelin's primacy same size &......Far and away EVEN a much smoother ride, Shissh, Do Not tell my wife ...even smoother than her 2020 RX 350....because My "F" Sport has the added "Adaptive Suspension". Much better ride than the HARD Run Flat Bridgestones that come stock. Carry a Batt. quality inflator ( DeWalt 20V MAX Corded/Cordless Air Inflator ) and string tar impregnated rope insert-er and Do-Not wait for AAA. Consider Use in Only Plug -in and a Hybred NOT a All electric Automobile!.........Using All electric YOU MUST consider YOUR TIME!....i.e. cost benefit analysis. By stopping frequently and needing to use REMOTE Elec Batt fill CONSIDER: fill time, as you probably eat and drink more and waste time simply WAITING to re-charge. You may even drive out of your way searching for an available station Many a Tesla driver has found out the hard way!
Consider all the above insight, using a Credit Card to Open doors, start the car and monitor via phone app... & and You WILL Have the Best of the Best in the Lexus 450h+ “F” Sport and reflect having a Sophisticated, Elegant & classy platform as well! This vehicle has gone up in price approx. &12K+ at this writing, since I bought it! @ that increase in value what is the downside? ....So Guys!...let's Jus' get real leave our egos parked till the weekend, we all know these EURO headache's are just for EGO!.* (SHOW OFF)../ insecure people for the most part?.....* Crash test on BMW x3 & Lexus clearly shows LEXUS NX the best results / winner th-cam.com/video/KkV2FtnQhZU/w-d-xo.html.
Intelligent people drive a LEXUS...when we go to work / appointment and or KNOW we MUST be somewhere i.e. an emergency I drive my Lexus….I have been fortunate to own 5 Ferrari's of various configurations to exercise my Ego as well, So lets leave our Gucci cars for the weekend Polo Pony events.
One more thing, D0-Not Lease your car and get ripped off! Jus' to turn it in every 3 years @ maybe 1800.00+ per month...oh sure we say it is a write off!.... but you still need to Feed and Cloth the beast and NEVER EVEN OWN IT....i.e. RIPPPPP Off! by the by you still get a write off if you buy this & Jus' consider this: DEPRECIATION Of other vehicles: th-cam.com/video/NPJnBjfh644/w-d-xo.html End of story!
*The aforementioned is purely my opinion and meant entirely to hopefully give others some insight from a hands on user of this Fine Automobile!
Ah dang what a shame! This is such a nice crossover, but the eCVT ruins it. Stellar effort on everywhere else though 😉 .
It doesn't when the engine doesn't turn on. It's a great car
NOT at all! Do your research "e"CVT is a different animal entirely.....BESIDES, I ONLY run on ultra quiet and 57 cents to fill up for 47 miles around town using 120 Volt home plug! ELECTRICITY...NEVER EVEN USE the eCVT!.....so No ICE internal combustion engine filth polution oil or gas!...Smooooth and UIET!
Range is too short especially if the heat or AC is on. You might get 30 miles which isn’t acceptable. Another thing that rarely gets discussed is the vehicle doesn’t give you all the power in EV mode. It’s slow in EV mode. You have to have it in auto mode so the gas engine can kick on.
Those packages are absolutely ridiculous. In fact when I saw the prices I decided not to consider this car. You could buy an XC40 recharge or an Audi Q4 for less.
Except for its look.
And subpar performance lackluster interior and sloppy driving dynamics
@@naveenthemachine Yep! you are truly an educated individual...It is dumb TROUT like this that buy beeeeeeemers!
cvt🤢…..🤮
ECVT
@@EverydayReviews2022 it is still cvt.
You’re being too nice to this Lexus
There’s nothing to like about it.
Exterior isn’t to the same level of polish as the x3 GLC xc60 q5 gv70 cx5 cx50 Tucson sportage Santa Fe venza qx50 qx55
The interior is subpar for the luxury class. A Mazda CX-5 Toyota Venza acura rdx or even a Kia Sportage are more luxurious inside
Space and practicality fall behind
Performance is mediocre and Driving dynamics are sloppy since it’s just a rav4 with lipstick
And it’s overpriced
No no, he is absolutely right about everything. The NX and RX are best sellers for a reason. Nothing you say changes that. So just shut up and drive whatever junky car you drive.
Im sure gv70 is better....better if you are wasting money. If you like camping on the middle of nowhere when it breakdowns😂. Nothing to like that kind of car unless of course you have so much money in your wallet and you want to empty your wallet😂
@@sonn4590 junky car? I own a Toyota lol and I’m saying all this
I’ve driven the nx and my Toyota blows this out of the water in every aspect. And the RX is not really better
