I like it and I know it’s a “luxury/sport” trim but I wish they’d put a pair or even better, two pair of sport exhausts on it to further distinguish it from the non F-Sport trim.
Good idea!
Good job!👍👍 Lexus Sarasota!! I am from Sarasota too
👍👍
Awesome video. Very informative.
Thank you!
Best detailed video!
Thank you!
I went to look at this car yesterday then found out they've increased the price by $6000 with no new added features. this is simply price gouging
$6000 in additional mark up? Walk away and find another dealer.
Msrp? It's called inflation lol
Great video thank you. Had to laugh each time you did the 0-60 you started at a 40MPH sign🤣 I was born with a lead foot and like a bit of pick up. Test driving next week...provided there are cars on the lot.😮
Lol, you were not supposed to see that 🤣
7:55 You 've grown up since the last video from 5.11 to 6. LoL
Its actually 5,11 and almoat half lol
All NX models with 20” wheels now have run flat tires something to consider.
Thanks for the info!
The NX 350h F Sport yes.
Very nice SUV.
BEWARE! Lexus used to maintain a specification defined with the "F-Sport" badge. I know. I owned 2 of these, both NX F-sport. On a recent transaction, I discovered that Lexus, now, will badge an F-sport with, no seat memory, no "Three year" subscription option facility; an all new Carplay requirement... among other shortcomings. Yes! I am bitter from my own shortcomings. Instead of analyzing the specification, I assumed, mistakenly, that "F-sport" carried a Spec (Instead of analyzing "Premium" then "Luxury" either of which may have "Plus"). Today, "F-Sport" means limited interior choice; wheels and suspension; and badges. DON'T GO WHERE I DID. Today "F-Sport" requires analyzing and checking the starting specification which may very well be below previously default specifications.
Sneaky.. unfortunately manufacturers are changing up their trim level and removing some previously standard features. Make sure you do your research. Good info! Thank you!
Not here in Austalia
Is the panoramic roof no longer an option?
looks like only regular size one is available on NX250.
what is the color of this nx350?
Cloudburst Gray.
Testing a 350h this week
Nice! Let us know what you think.
@@MattTheCarguy Will do
@@MattTheCarguy Just drove a NX 350h 2WD Sports Luxury... and bought it... NX 350h AWD wasn't available unless I wanted to wait 18 months... from the land down under here $81k AUD
@@swedishbob_7315 congratulations!
IF the F Sport is “better” than a RDX, it is not by much. I made the first and only impulse buy of my life and got a 2023 NX F Sport and hated it pretty much from the get go. It does have some nice technology for sure and a few other positives. I had the same color and it is a decent looking car. However, it is NOISY (Lexus?); engine, road and wind, it is slow off the line, it is cramped, has average handling and not much fun to get in and drive. After a year, I dumped it and got a much better driver’s compact SUV. Fortunately, I could afford the mistake and am much happier now. Oh well.
Thanks for the input. What did you end up buying?
what driver suv you got?
That is the answer. Must manufacturers charge more. Wow. Do you think they give them for free. I don’t want them ever.
Why not?
I do not like the back of the lexus now. They spell out LEXUS. And the whole back looks square and unattractive. Also 2 inches less back seat legroom than a much cheaper Rav4!!
I wish the F sport offered walnut color seating instead of just red and black.
They definitely changed their design to more square. I dont mind it as much but some people do. Walnut color would be a nice option for the interior. Thanks for watching!
@MattTheCarguy I am so frustrated with Lexus bc I will only buy a Lexus or a Toyota and I will be in the market for a new car in about 2 or 3 years and I don't like how small the NX is.
It should be the size of a Rav4 at least. But clearly they don't want to steal RX customers.
I am 6 foot 2 and watching you sit in the back seat, it looked like such a tight fit!! And the trunk not only looks bad but it also looks small AF!
What are you paying all that extra money for?? Definitely not that standard screen.
I would only consider the basic NX 250 bc I am really cheap so assuming that will be 45k, compared to a 35k rav4...I don't know if I can justify paying 10k more. On what? Just higher quality materials but a Toyota will last at least 20 years so it's not like a Lexus is going to last 40 years.
I just wish they made the NX the same size as the Rav4 in back seat leg room and cargo room.
They also need to have the f sport exterior and give the walnut seat color option on all the trims. With the rav4 size. Then I would get a Lexus NX!
When is the next refresh for Lexus? And do they change the dimensions or has that always been the same?
Please review Jaguar F-Pace next, Sir. Tyia!
As soon as I can get my hands on one! Thanks for watching!
It’s a POS
Too fast and electrical issues
I will not buy a vehicle that only offers run flat tires. You are paying more for an inferior tire that gives a much bumpier ride because of a sidewall that almost has zero flex. Secondly Lexus owners have confirmed the noisier bumpier ride. (No spare/ no Jack) Thus tire set up should only be an option and not forced. I will not consider this vehicle. More to a car than just looks.
All a matter of preference. I've owned cars with run flats (Mercedes and BMW) and did not mind them. But if it is the only thing that is keeping you from getting this vehicle consider buying a set of 4 regular tires. It will usuallu cost ypu less than $1000 and resell the once that are on there. It will most likely more than cover the cost. Unless of course there are other reasons.
Your roads must be in a terrible state don't have any problems with my run flats here in Perth W.Australia
It doesn’t look 57-58 grand car, x3 much better, of course it is all ways Honda, Toyota, Germans are different and more premium
Ok, so what makes Bmw better? Asking for a friend.
@@MattTheCarguy when you in Germany and driving no speed limits you know what is better
@@arthurberner2023 So you are talking strictly performance. I agree 100%, but there is so much more to car ownership, reliability, gas mileage, cost of maintenance, resale value etc. I think NX is a solid entry into the segment, and if you compare feature by feature, thousand less than BMW or Mercedes. But you can't beat their driving dynamics.
@@MattTheCarguy I am not talking performance I’m not talking about M cars
I’m talking about the German engineering, rustprotection, craftsmanship, quality, and comfort. I drove all the cars and I can tell from the experience. No one makes cars like Germans, in America it’s a different market for cheap cars like Toyota, Honda, Mazda, KIA and most of them made in Mexico, America, Canada for Americans, infotainment in German cars like Mercedes Audi BMW, wireless CarPlay, the far away from Japanese
@@MattTheCarguythe Money paying for fixing shit must be way better
damn, why is this screen so small? is this the crappy model?
You can upgrade the screen. Many options are available as stand alone.
I hate red interiors. Lexus advertises their interior as black but it’s grey. I want black. Why is Lexus calling an interior black when it’s grey? Wow. Why did they not option the run flats instead of it being standard? I can not buy a car with these issues. No thanks.
Cant make everyone happy I guess. Lexus shows on their website that there are 2 black interior colors available depending on the exterior color. Not sure if you had a chance to look at both?
@@MattTheCarguy ,no just whinge instead lol
Out of stock
They are a lot harder to get than NX250. Lexus of Sarasota had few last week.
Too much gloss black inside and outside. Also the steering wheel is on the wrong side 🙃
Don’t buy this car because it comes with run flat tires. 👎👎👎👎 should only be an option to buyers not forced. I will not consider a Lexus for this bad reason.
You know, most manufacturers charge extra for run flats. This is an upgrade.
That grill on the NX350 makes it look butt ugly. I take the RDX.
that's love it or hate it for sure. lol
.................On the 450h+ "F" Sport the grill truly has a Prowler affect w/ two Large FUNCTIONAL black air intakes.....RDX is a boring girls non intelligent choice!
I had no idea lexus was that loud. I hear a lot of wind and tire noise.. onward with my search. I want sporty quiet and fuel efficent. Dont want to hear the wind hitting the vehicle and the loud tire noise.. engine seems a bit loud as well. 50k and loud? No thanks. My honda civic is more quiet than this video is.
You can hear the engine but overal its not bad. Give it a chance and test drive yourself.
I just test drove one and I loved it. Made me scratch the Q5 off my list. Way more comfortable than a Mercedes GLC 300.
A dressed up rav4 better than a bespoke Acura RDX?
Yeah no it’s not😂. Not in any sort of way. Styling interior design, quality, legroom, trunk space, performance handling comfort value engine transmission combo etc
The real question is RDX or gv70
I have just driven the RDX A-Spec with Advance package and this NX and i have to respectfully disagree. The NX is so much more than dressed up Rav4. You wont get this engine on Rav4 or the adaptive suspension. Styling and quality of finish is so much better it shouldnt be even used in the same sentence. I liked the RDX with exception of its horrible infotainment system. Also Turbo lag at acceleration was really bad. RDX wins as far as spaciousness and seat comfort. Design is very subjective and I liked both. GV70 is very impreasive as well especially with the 3.5l engine.
@naveen…, you should do something about your personal problems. is your psychologist on vacation or did a lexus run over your foot?
@@Walter-qy5mx I saw this guy on other videos with the same hate on the NX, definitely has personal problem, seems like he never had any chance to seat on the NX but still assume it's the same as the rav4
Found you again genesis/hyundai gv70 fan boy. Just buy hyundai gv70 and call it a day. Called it hyundai because it is a glorified hyundai withfancy name. Enjoy the garbage reliablity. Buy a tent just in case that garbage broke in he middle of nowhere😂..an oh dont forget to bring an umbrella as well there reports that the sunroof cracks😂
A red rav4 looks great and much cheaper and a lot more read legroom and cargo space!
I really wanted to spoiled myself with an NX, my first luxury vehicle but this does nothing for me.
Too small, too expensive, you would think a bigger screen and more space would be standard but you have to upgrade and it gets real expensive real quick with any upgrade.
I rather get a fully loaded Rav4!!!
Charge you more for an inferior product 👎👎👎👎
More comparing to what? And why inferior?
Sorry, I will go with the BMW X3 M40i.
That's a great choice as well. Far more sportier
Two totally different cars with a 20K-25K difference
............................................... YEP! I concur you will be "SORRY".......................Ant EURO is a "Check your Engine Light ...NIGHTMARE to say nothing of the HUGE money loss on Depreciation & Re-Sale............No secret beeeemers are a LOSS!...had many fun for a week then the problems show their UGLY head....Lexus will always hold MUCK better value and indeed on My Lexus NX 450h+ "F" Sport it has gone up in Value by 17K just driving it off the lot absolutely NO CONTEST...do your research!...... ... FreaK'n beeeers you loose big money, driving off the lot because on NON DEPENDABILITY!
Have fun paying those maintenance/service bills on the BMW (Burn My Wallet). $300 for oil change...$1800 for brake job. Great looking car and performance to match, just very expensive to own.
@@kurtr1870You don’t know what a warranty is😂
rdx.
Ok. Why would you pick RDX over this?
@@MattTheCarguy Well because I have one and it's a great car. Very fast and very dependable. I have a 2021 tech.55k miles.
@@geocape7060 its a great suv. I have a review of the 2023 Aspec Advance coming out in the next week. A close race between these 2.
I like self driving EVs. Why are we here in stone age ?
We like the stone age. I hope this EV push will come to the end soon.
Real question is: Why do you NEED to depend on someone else...as you sit in your mothers house as she cooks and pays your rent!!!!
how is this comment even relevant to the car or video?? 😂 buy a tesla if that’s what you want then.
