Nice that they improved the ride, handling and the interior. And, yes, it is regarded as very reliable. Good review; thanks!
Thanks for watching!
This is probably the best review I’ve seen to date.
LOVE IT. Brilliant Video. So well explained & Great Quality Production. I would like one ASAP.
Top video as always tish
It's a welcome delight to see your new videos each week
Keep up the good work ,by far the best TH-cam channel 👍
I have just ordered one. I can't wait to get it and start driving!.
Great review, thanks. Just bought one - your review helped the decision.
Great review, well filmed and presented with information on all the key points. Fantastic to see more woman reviewing cars. Now subscribed.
EXCELLENT review- Mine is coming in same color in a month- 6 months wait to get from Japan to Texas. Of course my steering wheel will be on the proper side! Thanks again
Another great review as always tish and id go for the lexus i think its a really nice car
I enjoyed watching the Video Review. The best Premium SUV
Great down to earth and practical review
Thank you so much for watching!
Best video yet Tish 🔥
I am so pleased you enjoyed it!
A very good review of a nice car. If I were in the market for a well put together SUV the NX would be on my short list.
Beautiful!! Well done, Tish.
Thank you! 😊
Great video (again). Just selected a Q5 but wish I'd seen this first. The interior of this Lexus is way, way better than the previous gen and, as a package, it is a serious contender. Please keep these videos up. They really are informative and very well put together. Don't think anyone beats you at the moment👍👍👍❤️
I am sure you'll love your Q5! Thank you so much for watching!
No doubt the new NX has great tech but I would suggest you to search ‘Savagegeese Lexus NX’ and watch that video. Your views will change and you will be very happy with the Q5.
@@yashduggal918 q5 reliability is bad like its vw brother. No one is happy about that
Absolutely stunning.. Nice car too 😃
That was a really good review. I'm in Australia, so specs are somewhat different. I haven't driven the new NX yet, but am keen to do so. How was the ride with the 18inch wheels, as other reviewers seem to indicate they provided best ride quality?
I currently drive the UX. This new infotainment system on this car is an absolutely much needed improvement. I love the UX it's the best car I've ever had. The comfort is second to none and this NX looks the same. The steering wheels are so comfortable too. Great video Tish thank you
Thank you smooch for sharing your thoughts!
@@AutoSocialUK ❤️
@Tim Allen How are you finding the size of the UX? I do 90% city driving so I'm worried that the NX will be a bit too big to find parking
@@apolitis1 will all depend on what boot capacity you need. The UX is tiny in the boot. I've now switched to all electric Audi Q4. I love it! Would recommend electric
Good review as always niece Tish. Here are some things I wanna point out;
I call Lexus the king of quality, in terms of materials and reliability.
The rear of the Lexus NX has Lexus badging spelt out, which is also present on the new Lexus LX.
The PHEV NX is actually the RAV4 Prime underneath, since it gets the same powertrain.
I bought the sport luxury here in Australia. Still waiting for delivery but test drove one last week. ( the first new models just arrived) I’ll admit I’m not a car guy but my neighbour just got a new X3. I was panicking I’d made a mistake but after seeing the new model in the flesh , I have no regrets.
Congras Joe, I’m also in the same boat. I went for a test drive at my local Lexus dealership with the NX 350H and put down my deposit right away. It is definitely a good all rounder. The interior is such a marked improvement from the previous generation of Nx’s. pity on the wait times though, as I was told it’ll be 5 mths give or take…
What a beautiful and "reliable" machine.👍🏼💯🔥🔥
Beautiful vehicle! Simply Love it!☝️☝️👌👌
A very good review. 👍
Thanks! 👍
Great review, really informative and the way you referred to the cars bhp and not hp was a small but accurate point imho 👌 One of the most comprehensive and well explained reviews I have seen on this car. I have a German model presently but will be buying this next, and it will be the MHB. Apart from the increased cost of purchase, a plug in won’t be that cheap comparatively as electricity prices rise, also the extra weight of bigger batteries in a plug in will increase wear and tear on tyres etc and fuel economy as you are driving with a big battery that weighs more. Not sure how it will affect handling either ? An extra. £10,000 for a plug in buys an awful lot of fuel at my 10,000 miles per year driven.
As battery technology improves as well what will a plug in or full EV be worth, surely depreciation will be more as the old battery technology becomes less desirable ! The mild hybrid for me is the far better option, unless I could write the costs off against tax to a business, then it might be different decision.
My next door neighbour has a plug in and doesn’t bother plugging it in which kind of defeats the object and I think I might fall into his bad habits 🤔
Lastly I think is the price of the Lexus over an Audi or VW will be less for a similar equipped vehicle, if these features are available in the German models yet and as benefits of us being free to trade with other nations become a reality we will reap benefits, so for Lexus and Japanese vehicles generally the price may well be less.
Look forward to your next review, perhaps one on the Plug in V mhb 👍👌👌👌👌
Nice car & video..
Does base mode have any kind of lumbar support..!! I would like to see a driver sided manual seat adjustments and if any kind of lumbar support available..!!
Very good and informative video. Glad to see more women taking place in car related videos. Thumbs up!
BIG love for this comment!!
The best Luxury brand. Good review
Thank you for watching
We ordered the nh 350 Takumi for September 1st delivery. Looking forward to it so much.
How very exciting!!
I liked the review, its a nice car. It'd be nice to see some more angles on the cars in future videos, for example there aren't many reviews of this car with the smaller wheels, it would have been nice to see how it sits on them.
lovely presentation...Thank you
Thank you too!
There's something really special about lexus, aside from legendary reliability, mystery and sumptuous luxury, perfect design and quality
It was my first time trying Lexus and I’m looking forward to trying out more!
Great review. Really wish they'd put that 350h drive on a proper car, like the IS or ES.
I have always thought lexus's were a bit funny looking. But this one looks rather stylish. Much like you Tish in this video. 🙂 The only thing i don't care for are the shiny black plastics. But other then that it looks really nice. Wish I could afford it.
great video
Thanks for the visit
I’m a VW family fan but my next car is probably going to be the Lexus NX F Sport. Super luxurious and Lexus uses the best leather too.
Nice review 👌 nice leather interior 😛
Notices the little label on the seat inner edge - have Lexus fitted the centre seat airbag system to the NX?
Thank god Lexus has dropped the trackpad system for the infotainment. Great review all round
for sure!! Thank you very much
Nice and detailed review 👌 👍
They also got rid of those turbos from last year models which required more frequent oil change.
Another belter Tish🙏🙏
A request if possible, I’m looking to change my KIA CEED GT (I’ve finally got the fast car syndrome out of my 75 year system) for either a Lexus es300h or
Lexus UX250h, have you reviewed or could you review these cars?
This would help me in my decision as to what car I go for! 🤞🤞😎😎
Thanks
Paul🇬🇧
That's interesting, I have a Proceed GT shooting brake with the DCT gearbox. I am also considering for my next car something that doesn't directly prioritise performance as the Kia isn't very relaxing to drive quickly! I love the Toyota hybrids especially after I drove a Corolla with the 1.8 hybrid set up. And they really aren't that noisy on hard acceleration, I'm used to a raucous exhaust and minimal sound proofing from both my Kia and my older MX5 so please Tish, let's have a sensible degree of perspective here 🙂 I would consider a Yaris cross, Corolla, Rav 4 and if I could possibly afford it, a Lexus NX 350h like this one. Unfortunately, it would mean sacrificing the MX5 that I've had for 9 years as well as my Kia. Is it worth it?...
Really interesting car
So hot!! And also the car!!
NEW LEXUS NX 👌🏻😎👍🏻 PERFECT CAR
It's awesome!
Really good review , nicely put together, the door safety feature; what a great idea ! Does the Lexus come with a 7 year warranty?
It will come with the 3 year / 60k mile Lexus manufacturers UK warranty & then after 3 years you can benefit from the Lexus Relax warranty scheme included with a Lexus main dealer service that provides an additional 12 months / 10k miles of extended warranty coverage ( Lexus Relax warranty terms & conditions will apply! )
10 year warranty
I agree with you about that touch screen, Tish. The white display color would give me a headache looking at it. By the way, I love the outfit you wore for this review...smashing, sweetie! (hugs) :)
Thank you so much Edward!
@@AutoSocialUK you're quite welcome, Tish! :)
I'm worried about the HV cable corrosion problem that was included in some class action lawsuits in North America that resulted in huge repairs bills right after the factory warranty expired. When they fix that connector, I'll be interested in Lexus, but this model was included in that lawsuit.
Looks better than previous generation.
It certainly does
Ordered my 350h premium package and cannot wait for it to be delivered in a few months..
Ah! Very similar to this one! What colour did you go for?
Ordered one as well. Delivery is in August 🤦
Good video. At 3mins, the BMW X5 has a bigger boot. I think you meant x3. The real winner in this range is the PHEV
Yes absolutely that's what I meant, sorry about that
very nice…oh the automobile too
I'm considering getting the NX 250 instead of the NX 350h. The higher cost of the NX 350h is not worth the higher MPG for me.
I've got a Ford Everest Diesel and it doesn't stink.
haha sorry, I love a diesel, I was more picking fun at the way the movement brainwash us to think they're bad and stinky
Does nx 350h 2022 model require premium gas?
A great review of a great car. I like it. But be careful in talking about diesels and referring to them as "stinky old diesels". Many diesels are not so stinky and they are going to be around for a long long time. I have one and I love it ( it's 184bhp, 4wd, can do 50 mpg and has a massive boot ).
That scarf is so money!
Hahahha is that a good thing or a bad thing? It came from Primark 😂😂😂
@@AutoSocialUK good thing, loved it!
Hello hello. Lovely location x
The tough part with Lexus SUVs is keeping the thieves away.
Great review Tish. That CVT gearbox isn’t great but on the plus side the Lexus will be ultra reliable unlike some of its German rivals.
Thank you for watching
The issue is that it’s not a CVT transmission (CVTs literally aren’t gearboxes). This car has an eCVT, which has zero engineering in common with CVTs. It is a planetary gear set. That makes it incredibly simple, while being incredibly reliable. In fact, it’s likely the most reliable type of transmission there is, including the manual.
Not like garbage cars BMW and Mercedes unreliable piece of crap Lexus is reliability is amazing and that what I want that car for.
A great review Tish. The exterior styling is not really to my taste but if I'm driving I'll not be looking at the outside so not a showstopper for me. It does get a lot of standard kit but the model reviewed pops that 40K price and the extra car tax that comes with it. I'll not rule it out of my shortlist when it's time to change though. Prices are increasing as are lead times so we will see.
For sure - Although it wouldn't take much to tuck it below 40K and I am not too sure if the 'Packs' count towards the tax cost?
@@AutoSocialUK Hi Tish, a really good point. I did some digging. The 40K threshold is based on the retail cost of the car before any available discounts, optional extras add to this retail cost so if a standard car retails at say 39K but had 2K options added it will be subject to the extra VED charge.
I don't think that a fussy and somewhat tacky design is what makes a car look modern.
was there a car in this review?
The reason being The drive mode button everything else for the driver because Japan drives on the same side of award as the UK
Yes that makes complete sense!
I'd go for a Lexus every time. I wouldn't go anywhere near a German car.
In all the cars I've had, I've never used the heated seats or cup holders.
The almost £500 per year tax bill stops me buying one as to me no car is worth that because it’s to do with being over £40k and nothing to do with co2.
I still love it though.
For it being bright just turn down the brightness.
There is the Toyota version of this in the Rav4 Hybrid. It has 20 less horsepower, but it’s not very noticeable.
still have is the is300h (road tax £10) ... Still scratching my head if to get the NX
@@issiewizzie1 year on, have you made the move?
The best part of getting a Lexus is the reliability and quality with that super efficient Hybrid electric CVT gearbox. The engine runs at it's most efficient rev range and works with the gearbox to give you power. If you want to learn more about the gear box and how it works look at Weber Autos video th-cam.com/video/O61WihMRdjM/w-d-xo.html
One thing you should never do though is be the savourer and try to jump start another car with the Lexus/Toyota hybrids as you can cause some serious damage to the electric system.
I like u more then suv 🚙
Don’t like the pricing structure - base is 39k but you can double that?
Options are… optional.
@@afcgeo882 sure sure. point is the 39K is the headline teaser, put any worthwhile options on there and your deep into 40-50K where this doesn't start to look so clever.
@@alfamonk Except this car comes very well equipped, even at £39k. Yes, if you start to get active on the options sheet, things will escalate, quickly, but that’s true for all luxury cars, isn’t it? Control yourself like an adult and you’ll walk away with a great value.
@@afcgeo882 yeah maybe you're right - base FWD with Premium pack and pano roof is 41K which is bang on the money.
How does it compare to the competition on price? Probably on par plus the added benefit that it will actually continue to work unlike the rest.
What beauty! Hot!
Nice review; but missing 2 key points. 1) There is no spare tire; Lexus opting for the expensive and controversial run-flat tires. 2) Requires 91-octane premium gas, thereby negating the otherwise substantial savings on fuel cost.
does not require 91 octane.
As per owners manual..87 minimum. It's the same 2.5 litre engine in Toyotas , only difference between a Rav 4 Hybrid and an NX350H is the Lexus uses the larger RX electric motor which gives an extra 21 hp equivalent. You can replace the run flats with regular tires . I haven't had a flat tire in 24 years 😆
Since when have we been unable to drive diesels?
We haven’t but it’s more the fact that the government is trying to brain was people that they’re bad
2030 is the official ban year for Diesel cars in the UK (petrol as well.)
More driving sandals gladiator
Whattt? No CD player?
Apparently no. This is expected for a lot of modern cars.
Hell, when I climbed in the BMW X5 G05 for the first time, I was surprised it didn’t have a CD player. I was gonna think about getting Now 107, but I didn’t because of that.
Brand new model, not facelift
nice car but has too hard suspension, no air suspension, seats are too short. and that excludes this model altogether
Run-flat tyres and no spare, not even a donut. NO THXXX
The run flat tires are a sham.
Great car but it looks like Darth Vader from the front.
Much better than the German competition but I think those looking for this type of vehicle might look elsewhere... The Kia/Hyundai offer cheaper alternatives with very good warranty packages.. The Lexus warranty is good but dependant on having 'very' expensive Lexus dealership servicing..
Another better alternative might be the Toyota RAV4 phev... At least you can get a return commute on full electric with that...
Thank you for sharing your thoughts!
Lets not compare Kia and Hyundai with Lexus. That’s why there’s Toyota. It’s also why Genesis exists as a brand.
nice clothes but the sneakers??? It is like a Ferrari with offroad tires...LOL.....great car by the way...
Hahahah funny you should say that, I actually left my boots at my boyfriends and only had my work trainers 😂😂😂
Stinky diesel? You do not know what are you saying.
Sorry I don’t think my sarcasm has translated. I meant that is what the government and media makes us think but it’s not true.
@@AutoSocialUK then you're right!
I'm getting Angela White vibes
LEXUS all the way, The German Vehicles are overrated. 0-60 doesn't make a good car, German vehicles 0-60 faster to the junk yard.
reliability alone doesn’t make a good car either.
Is this car massive, or is the woman extra small to make the car look big
Hahah I’m not actually that small, so I think the car is quite large. Lots of exterior styling.
@@AutoSocialUK 👍👍👍
She is midgee, lol. Just joking. The vehicle is a big beast.
Sorry, but I find that front end so ugly, and I normally like Lexus cars.
You don’t know much.
ciaooo Bella 🙋♂🌹🤗
Thank you so much Nathan as always!
dont give up your day job bit un proffesional no vicky henderson
What was unprofessional Richard? 🤔
She's too good for you Mister.
🤔those who buy this vehicle,
must be confused ( mad ).
Confused? You must be called Chloe aka Chlo Chlo the Clown :)
no matter which car model,
i don't buy a Lexus car
Good night
Great video. Lexus are definitely on my radar, as is the sister car, Rav4. Very little to choose between them.
I suggest you drive both cars. Both these cars use the same platform but the noise cancelling technology/materials used in Lexus are far superior and well worth the extra money. Drive it, experience it and then decide.
