I would say that 6 speeds is actually perfect. Many of these newer 8-10 speeds are way too busy and are constantly shifting gears no matter what. The top gears are often not even usable as even the slightest incline causes the transmission to shift right back out over and over again.
my wife one has a 2018 and it drives great! I really like the little turbo in it. Not a lot of room inside, but pretty good on gas. We are also leasing it, so the sticker price did not scare us.
Awesome SUV. I purchased a 2019 Nx300, F Sport. Absolutely love it! It will hit 7 seconds, 0-60. I live in the south, and have tested it many times. Mine does a have a spare tire. Would buy another one!
We went to Stuttgart, Lexus and tested the UX... but there space in the rear seats were really tight, so we moved to the NX300h parked beside. Woooow, much better and you can decline the rear seats to 3 deferent positions. Not as much as the VW touran, but at least some positions backwards, if somebody want to sleep or take nap. Seats are very confortable. Booth space is okey, still good. The pad for the info entertainment is awesome, people should give a try really before commenting Is also very easy to use, police won’t check you are distracted touching a front screen, which is lot to far in the front, but is of course for better view. I like the buttons, much easy to operate than navigate in iPad.
We got one of these for my wife but a used 2016 F Sport. Screen is smaller a few things aren't as updated but overall same vehicle. Overall I really love the build quality. The interior is gorgeous (mine has the red seats and stiching) and is a nice place to be in. Wish it had a little more power or a little better fuel economy. The vehicle is smaller overall and definitely wouldn't recommend it to anyone as their primary vehicle but as a secondary vehicle to a pickup it's great. However, I personally don't think it is worth $50,000 at all. We bought ours used for $30K with 24,000 miles. At that price it's a great vehicle but no way when I'm in it does it feel like $50K.
I test drove the NX300H before getting the 200T for wife, disagree. Hybrid has lack of power.... felt like driving a corolla. the tubro makes it much more fun! We drive mainly on freeway so getting about 28mpg anyways.
I prefer the smoothness of the NX 300h, Lexus are not meant to be driven hard and I got 35mpg in the hybrid :D (video on my channel if you wish to see Ivan)
I pre-ordered the the new 2022 NX 350 AWD with 2.4L turbo petrol, 275bhp and 8 speed automatic. Did I do the right thing by choosing that over the hybrid?
Priced like a fully loaded Palisade, and with less luxury and technology. I think the NX is fine but Toyota needs to step up the content in it to justify its over 50k price.
@@devinbender8428 Lincoln is an unreliable crap, that's after few years they are worth nothing!! This will drive for ever and hold its value very well. Check autotrader there is a reason Lexus is number luxury brand to hold its value the best!
It has a spare tire. You guys should do your research before reviewing. And the dude who tested for leg room is probably 6'4". You're sitting behind yourself. How do you expect to have enough room. Your review isn't well thought out. Boo! 👎
Disagree, we have the 2017 GLC and had the 2015 X3. our 2016 NX is bigger than both german rivals in terms of seating space, however much smaller for the boot space.....
Lexus vehicles are considered reliable but they are so far behind with the rest of the German luxury brands. Come on Lexus catch up with the rest of the pack.
My dad went for a loaded 2020 CT over the suvs as he preferred the smaller size I have a video on it if you would like to see it? th-cam.com/video/C9RgRkwqUO0/w-d-xo.html
Good review! But something has bothered me for a while. Maybe this is a stupid question. Why does the decibel readings TFL gets always seem lower then lets say Alex on Autos get? Example y'all will say 65 decibels but another reviewer will say 71 decibels.
"I don't really use the rear seat for my lifestyle very much." Press F for Tommy's love life. Great review overall. The NX and the RAV4 are on my short list and Roman mentioning his qualms with the size are helpful.
Lol Lexus knows it’s customers. Little coke mirror in the center console. You need to be on something to pay that much for such a small vehicle. 32-42 depending on equipment would have been my guess not 51k
Justin Fincher most newer cars don’t have spare. Donuts might harm the AWD systems. And no one offers full size anymore other than large SUV and trucks.
Great video guys, I just had one of these but the Hybrid F sport and found it pretty smooth and it managed 35 mpg Ps there is a video of it on my channel if you want to see the hybrid :D
I'm guessing people like you are out of touch with prices these days. A fully equipped rav4 is is almost 45 grand. A a fully equipped honda accord is over 40 grand. A mazda cx 5 is 42 grand, And every vehicle it compete with cost about the same.
For the sake of your viewers, please turn it around and shoot the view from the back. Good god the front is ugly. Better yet put a car cover on the entire mess.
How many more decades is Toyota going stick with that stupid ugly Predator face front end on their vehicles? They should just come out with a a Predator or Cylon edition.
The fall of the Japanese car makers will be the big story over the next few years.. especially Toyota/Lexus and Nissan which have nowhere to go but down. They couldn't catch up to Europeans and are getting squeezed by Koreans on value. Mazda has some interesting technology and potential but better pay more attention to exterior design, which is getting ridiculously cheesy, just as Toyota/Lexus and Nissan. Honda and Subaru are still OK.
Not sure I agree with you here. It really depends on your location. Brands like Lexus and Nissan aren’t very popular in say Europe but here in the US they get along fairly well.
@@ancarwillis9060 I live in Canada, where Toyota and Lexus are very popular, but even here they will have a big problem in 3-4 years. They are getting rid of stock right now by offering great lease deals on 2020 models, about 20% lower than similarly priced european/american cars. They do this by inflating residual values. but who will pay $30k for a used car with no navigation or touch screen, with mouse pad for media control etc...? They are technologically behind even today, but in four years time they will be taking a big loss trying to sell these clunkers and some of the allure of good resale value will come off and it's the main reason they built their reputation.
@@CarsofGlasgow Where would they sell in Europe.. they're horrible really and subject to more taxes. I actually saw a European review of the RX350, their flagship SUV which was not positive at all and I agreed with it. In Asia, perhaps, they have no taste.
@@trespasser121 Well I live in the UK and most models are hybrid which helps company car buyers. Our tax is based on CO2 emissions so we cant be driving around in big gas guzzlers
Looks like a Japanese tank from the front and the hunchback of Notre Dame from the side.. not good. In fact downright horrible, but maybe some old lady will think of it as cutting edge.

I love these buddy reviews! Go TFL!
who keeps pinning these ass-kissing comments? It's Roman isn't it. Can't you find more informative, or inquisitive comments to pin?
Having the 6 speed automatic is a very good thing. That is a proven and very reliable transmission.
6 speeds is way to little in 2020. Reliability doesn’t really matter on a new car since most people won’t keep them long term.
I would say that 6 speeds is actually perfect. Many of these newer 8-10 speeds are way too busy and are constantly shifting gears no matter what. The top gears are often not even usable as even the slightest incline causes the transmission to shift right back out over and over again.
@@junehhan 10 speeds is too much but 8 speeds is perfectly good
Check underneath the foam in the storage, they do have a pretty big size spare.
Lol yuppp

Carlos Guevara right!! $38,000 for a similar Lincoln Corsair! What a joke!
Devin Bender you don’t get reliability..
Justin Xu the new 8 speed is rock solid as is the 2.0 Ecoboost. Fail to see how that’s flawed.
Well if you can afford a true luxury suv then this is the one. Big boys do not fit!! Remember this is made in Japan.
@@devinbender8428 Lincoln is an unreliable crap, that's after few years they are worth nothing!! This will drive for ever and hold its value very well. Check autotrader there is a reason Lexus is number luxury brand to hold its value the best!

I want an NX-F with the LS motor!
LS500 2GR 3.5L V6 twin turbo one!!!
Ivan Liao heck even the regular 3.5 for the F sport would be nice
Lexus vehicles are considered reliable but they are so far behind with the rest of the German luxury brands. Come on Lexus catch up with the rest of the pack.
Have you seen the LC though :D
I got a set of tires in the back with just one back seat let down!
When you want to put the front plate on to improve the look of the car you know something is off.
The 2020 RX with the touchscreen has the same trackpad as the NX
I liked the CT200H better.
My dad went for a loaded 2020 CT over the suvs as he preferred the smaller size

Road surface is different. AoA roads seem rougher.
Wait wait wait.
When you said "oh it got it" for Snarf's...Way To Grow was on the screen.
So no it didn't get it.
50k for a small crossover? Too much.
Have you seen the Evoque or Macan pricing haha
Holy... you can get an RX for less than $50k.
"I don't really use the rear seat for my lifestyle very much."

Mr. E's Absurdities & Atrocities What’s really weird is the RAV4’s rear seat is absolutely massive
@@minivanman1356 I think the NX may be based on the older RAV4 platform, so that may explain the size differences. Not sure about that though.
@@mr.esabsurditiesatrocities1805 Ir maybe the CH-R.
Yeah Charlotte ditched him for a douchebag in a BMW.
Come on! You lift up the styrofoam to get to the spare below it. 🙄 You think Lexus wouldn't give you a spare??
I liked this video. Can you do one for the Lexus UX?
So you guys really dont know what that third mirror is for huh?
I'm donating to Patreon because I need an online therapist...
0-60mph in 9.41s for 50k USD with 3 people inside...
at twelve miles above sea level...the turbo Toyota isnt really much more powerful than the regular engine

Love these videos. Would love to see a comparison video with this and the RDX A-Spec
PJB but the Lincoln Corsair has more hp and more room!
PJB
Can’t argue too much with you. Have a 16 Civic myself. But in terms of luxury I have to go with Lincoln.
I thought the NX 300 competes with the Buick Encore...
ninioburbuja the Ux does
ninioburbuja Buick Encore is smaller.
More Envision in size. Or Cadillac XT4
Lincoln Corsair is going to rake away the NX sales. Toyota needs a new NX
Sport+ at the track would have surprised. Oh well, missed opportunity.
$51,000 for basically a two seater. Are people that brainwashed?
Spare tire is under that you just did not checked lol
10:15 They didn’t ask you to mention their name lol
Lol Lexus knows it’s customers. Little coke mirror in the center console. You need to be on something to pay that much for such a small vehicle. 32-42 depending on equipment would have been my guess not 51k
Would you 2 please review the 2020 Acura RDX, thanx in advance!
For the money I would have a new Lincoln Corsair.
Lin Hunnicutt More power more legroom in Lincoln for the same price! Same!
lincoln reliability is garbage, have fun with all the recalls
TrueG404 ford has definitely invested heavily in making their cars better. New trans. Great Ecoboost.

full size spare
It absolutely has a spare. They are just too uninformed to look under the foam cover.
Get the 2019 RAV4 instead ..
No
@Brenton L that is what I was going to say!!
That is like saying buy a 7 series instead of a Ghost
very different cars
Great video guys, I just had one of these but the Hybrid F sport and found it pretty smooth and it managed 35 mpg
Ps there is a video of it on my channel if you want to see the hybrid :D
Those are so rare to find 😢
Looks and functions like a Toyota... oh wait.
Is this basically a Lexus HCR??
More like a Lexus Rav 4 Variant. The UX200 would be more of a HCR variant
Uh it’s called CH-R NOT HCR
Somebody needs to lay off the pasta and drip 75 pounds
10:50 was hilarious!
I was hoping to see the slip test with the rollers.
My ten year old Hyundai Santa Fe has a bigger touchscreen, Lexus needs to update.
wtf?!?!?!?!?
Yas is the Lexus a touchscreen?
Exactly 😂😂😂
Sigor Ezz than you’re obviously an idiot, like having a Hyundai Santa Fe for ten years is an accomplishment or something 😂
@Sigor Ezz easy, now. He was poking fun. Kidding. Have a sense of humor. It's better for the blood pressure.

Do the same video with the RX.
The make-up mirror says it’s a chics ride. Vehicle typically driven by spandex wearing metros who dine out frequently.
Looks like you also dont know what it's for. Good I guess.
Short answer is no
Uhm, no. No on so many levels, no. No, no, no, no. No. Lexus officially has made the “F” meaningless, unless…”F” no. Yes!
Same as AMG with Mercedes or BMW with M
I hate the tech in these new vehicles. Every time I get in a car that has it, I find myself looking for a way to defeat it and get it out of my face.
i think the volvo xc 40 interior is better
with the red carpets :D
But the Xc 40 rivals the UX
15:00 wheeett really bruh look at it
I'm waiting for that hideous spindle grill to be phased out from Lexus design language before I consider any Lexus.
Stopped watching at $51k. Ouch.
