[@ashrafkma1984]

Lexus always best in class. No doubt

[@Casualdriver]

The thing is that this will last forever whereas we all know that the BMW will not. Lexus keeps that in mind when they build their cars... they've been number one in long term reliability and they want to keep that title.

[@tuolumne9]

Shut up. Nobody wants to hear your elementary level talking points. Moron

[@ThisIsSrsBsnsMan]

+n777ua That really struck a nerve, didn't it?

[@Casualdriver]

Steven Never answer the internet troll... you probably made his day now.

[@bttawfiq]

I think it looks great, Lexus makes the best and most comfortable seats in the industry, and a 0-60 of 7.8 equals mid 6s at sea level, which is fast enough! That and i don't have to worry about the running cost and the re-sale value

[@7c8f9x]

WE HAVE A 16 NX 200T, IT IS 8 YEARS OLD, JUST TURNED 7,400 MILES, AWESOME CAR IN MY MIND

[@hotrodpol1]

This car was made for normal people If you need 6.5 seconds to 60, get yourself sti and stop complayning

[@xxijoseaixx224]

This js the best looking car in its segment.

[@peterpan8568]

lexus doesn't care too much about horsepower. They care about quality and reliability.

[@yk6474]

Quality is not that good compare with European competitors, cheap plastics are everywhere, and the ride quality is also not as good as Mercedes, BMW, and Audi. Toyota usually use dated technology to make sure the reliability. I thing the key points of Lexus are cheaper price, lower maintenance cost, and good reliability.

[@mrmaaical8727]

Gotta love the reviews from Roman Mica...he's THE BEST

[@VARITHMS]

I'm happy they didn't use a cvt

[@brianlee5649]

CVT's only for the hybrid.

[@powerofpinesol8002]

Looks pretty good in black and that red and black leather interior looks pretty nice too.

[@VSxFEAR]

This car looks gorgeous! Mr Roman please tell the cam guy to keep showing the full car and to focus on it more while you are talking.

[@Calimustang86]

This wouldn't be my first choice in the segment, but it's actually growing on me. I like it in black.

[@EvanderSmart]

In 3 months on the market, it already outsells every crossover in the class except the Acura RDX. That scares the Germans, Roman.

[@LlyleHunter]

But if you're buying a luxury item do you want everyone else to have it?

[@EvanderSmart]

These aren't Bentleys.

[@LlyleHunter]

Evander Smart They certainly aren't!

[@Erich2142]

Funny, because I have never seen any NX in those three months you are talking about.

[@EvanderSmart]

Funny, you sound broke. Get out of the hood, and get into life!

[@TOBYH]

At sea level here in Ca, southern, 7.2 seconds. Fast enough!

[@crod6431]

If you need an under 6 sec Crossover with good reliability, get the 2016-2017 Infiniti QX50 with the VQ 3.7L V6 Engine. It has 328 Hp and can do 0-60 in about 5.5 sec and the engine is reliable.

[@handas2]

You should do an off road mashup between both Lexus.

[@nxdboi]

You guys seriously have to do a better job of SHOWING THE CAR. I watched this entire video and was not given a clear idea of what the car looks like as a whole. Considering that looks are one of the (if not most) important thing people look at when buying a car, I'd say it should top priority.

[@rayaanshaikh5830]

I thought the NX would compete with the X3 and Q5. The X1 is way too small to compete with the NX

[@My03Tundra]

If the 4-banger had been a turbocharged six, with 285 HP or greater engine (with similar torque), the NX would be more appealing.

[@TheCarCrazyGuy]

Coming soon NX300T??

[@kevingest5452]

I was disappointed with the NX on my test drive. My wife's car is an X1 with the 2.0t I wanted similar power and drive characteristics but a little more cargo space. 1. the X1 feels a lot faster. 2.The cargo area height from floor to headliner isn't tall enough for mountain bikes, big dogs and other things I put in my car. I drove non Fancy-pants brands that are also available with 2.0 turbo engines (Furester XT, Kia Sportage, Hyundai Tucson, Ford Escape) and they all felt faster, some handled just as well. The fully loaded versions of the aforementioned cars can be had for about $10k less than a modestly optioned NX. One thing I'll give the lexus is that the interior is better... just not 10g better. I ended up with an Escape

[@tuolumne9]

Audi Q5 = Audi A4 / Porsche Macan MLB Evo derivative. Lexus NX = Rav 4 architecture I'll leave you to guess which is really built to any sort of premium standard.

[@mcypress5333]

Ive had the X1 and it's definitely not worth the money. I purchased the 2019 NX300 FSport, and with quality, no comparison. Reliability and the cost to maintain, I will leave BMW to others. I did give them a second chance and purchased a 2014 328i. Again, I will leave BMW to someone else.Great review.

[@sxb080511]

Very thoughtful comment about Lexus NX. Reliability still is a big factor vs. 0-60 in everyday driving. BMWs reliability is not as great, personal experience says I am too busy to keep taking care of the problems!

[@mcypress5333]

@@sxb080511 I agree with your statement. My life is a very busy one,.I too ,do not ave the time to go back and forth to the dealership.

[@Toyota4Life]

Very sexy and bold. To him I guess the only thing that makes a car good is HP number... this car already came out on top of its rivals

[@greenzoid2]

Many car enthusiasts care more about what's under the hood and how it performs than how it looks. It's always good to know. Then you look at how nice it is afterwards. The boldness of it helps justify some of the expensiveness of it in my opinion. Its so weak performance wise I would never buy it if it wasn't.

[@jacquesmatte250]

Toyota4Life Pplp

[@dean2663]

Lexus IS about smoothness, refinement, reliability, sophistication, comfort. No balls.

[@enzo478784]

I actually wouldn't buy this car because of its powertrain, but because of its looks...

[@7c8f9x]

I INSTALLED A K&N AIRFILTER, PASSES ALOT MORE AIR FOR THE ENGINE.

[@fazlkarimkhan5244]

Lexus NX Is The Best I Agree With You

[@tritchie6272]

What's the price of their competitors?

[@MDKN22]

Like the sound of the Inline 4. 235 horses and still 33 mpg. I don't get it.

[@kimbilinkimbilin]

Sweet!!!!!!

[@vitalykutuzov3331]

WTF?! A 0-60 test without the speedometer in the video? This video is a joke!

[@EvanderSmart]

The problem I have is you HAVE TO get the red and black interior to get the F-Sport grille. I should be able to have a regular interior and the F-Sport grille. F-Sport only offers one interior, which sucks. Lexus has a cashmere interior for the NX that is amazingly lux, but you can't get it with the F-Sport grille.

[@LlyleHunter]

I agree. One of the greatest luxuries is choice and the best luxury brands have bespoke programs.

[@EvanderSmart]

Lexus clearly has one of the best luxury marques in the land, but they aren't perfect.

[@LlyleHunter]

Evander Smart I agree. They are the only luxury brand in their price range that makes perfect sense to me but not having a choice in interior colors in this car was a major mistake. Actually I really like most Lexi (if that's the plural for Lexus) but I think that this particular one is sort of a missed swing in my book. It may sell well initially but I think that once the Lexus moms in their 30s have purchased it sales may fall off.

[@tuolumne9]

The problem is it's a sub-$50,000 dressed up Rav 4. It's chintzy, right down to the economy car sound the doors make when they close, to the ridiculously overstyled "exterior". What a joke

[@EvanderSmart]

You're a joke. It shares a platform with the Rav4. If you call it a Rav4, you lose all credibility, and you haven't been in it, so cut the BS. Nobody is buying what BS you're selling. People with money and credit buy the Lexus NX, not your lies. Deal with it.

[@curtis7480]

Aww he doesn't seem as excited as usual or is it just me

[@marcz9482]

All early nx all have sport, save your cash on the f sport

[@number7redking]

If you place the NX beside a Toyota Rav4 the Rav4 still looks like a Rav4. Get it?

[@alialnaqbi9753]

no it dose not

[@tuolumne9]

Ali alnaqbi oh yes it does. The greenhouse proportions are identicle.

[@jvlixn]

even so, the tech and details matter which help it stand out. same thing can be said for nissan and infinity models so it's moot argument.

[@notree666]

At least it looks fast.haha

[@vitalykutuzov3331]

Ahahaha, "at least 300hp". Most X3s and Q3 are sold with a 2 litre diesel... with about 211-230hp, sometimes less.

[@xxbingettinghumbled3032]

Roman, Lexus do NOT want to compete with other brands. Get that through your fairly sized skull

[@TFLcar]

Roman says that unless Lexus starts selling cars on the moon they most definitely want to, have to, and do compete with all other luxury brands.

[@xxbingettinghumbled3032]

The Fast Lane Car Well, they are, in terms of reliability, performance, technology and pricing, the Lexus has always been and still is the best in terms of what they do. Lexus had Auto-Parking cars(LS460/L, 2007) and Side-View cameras(LX570, 2008) etc. that companies such as Range Rover did not even know existed, proof is my father's 2009 Range Rover Sport Supercharged(2009) and my mother's LS460L(2009). My father's car didn't even have back-up cameras when my mother's car had parallel parking and auto-parking brakes with reclining seats and a 19-speaker Mark Levinson Surround system and my aunt has an Audi A8(2010) and my other aunt has a mercedes-benz S500(2012) and none of them are as comfortable as my mom's LS460L, which Roman even slept in in your LS460L review. It is so clean unlike mercedes or audi which have buttons everywhere, and never fails to entertain me. But in my aunts' cars, I get bored easily, and seeing that mess makes me feel claustrophobic in the small space that gets boring really quick, because their technology is outdated. Also, they do not have massage seats that even my Grandpa's LS430 (2002) has, and they don't portray the person driving it. I think people buy Audi and Mercedes for showing of or standing out rather than comfort and reliability, but even though my mother has an LS460L, when I see LS's, my head turns, but Audis do not appeal to me as much, because it was made by boring people for boring people.

[@xxbingettinghumbled3032]

Tell Roman to read the above and then consider saying the compete, because the harsh fact is, they're top of the line and don't compete with any brand.

[@ChairmanKimchi]

What you make no sense. Lexus doesn't compete with any brand? Actually you may be right....you know why? Because Lexus is getting trashed by other luxury brands right now. They are were way behind, so the only way they could fight back was with value. Which is why Lexus has so many options standard. Its german competition is far ahead in terms of handling, power train' transmission, MPGs, and interior quality. lexus fan boys always cry about reliability. Cool story, german cars these days have gotten very reliable. However, the average buyer honestly doesn't understand the first thing of maintaining their vehicle. So you can blame the brand for being unreliable. Our families had german and Japanese luxury vehicles. ( BMW, Acura, Lexus, Mercedes) and by far, the german cars were more fun to drive and much better built. The harsh reality is that Lexus as a brand is behind. Their design language sucks. They lost the Lexus soul of being a grand comfort vehicle. They are now trying to be something that they never were great at. If you complain about german vehicles being expensive to maintain...you probably shouldn't be affording a luxury vehicle in the first place then. The fact that Acura is quickly passing Lexus in terms,of driving fun and design should raise red flags for you Lexus fan boys. The new Tlx and Ilx are certainly cars that make sense. Look at the NX...it looks like child's play....look at the IS, it looks like a car that a gangster thug asian teen drives now. This is reality sir.

[@gabrielgagne2004]

H.A1992 Mr small fucking brain every car competes with other cars whether directly or indirectly. If there were no competitors Lexus would have every car sale ever

[@jeffshin8048]

I wonder how many people need Lexus for the fun of speed....

[@hotrodpol1]

Roman you are so stuborne this compites with x3 , i know you know that but still you are saying X1!

[@angelbluerider9588]

Just by watching this makes me want to get a Rx350 better lol V6 power lol.

[@gordonmccracken1209]

Volvo XC60 T6 will SPANK this - Volvo knows turbocharging. Frak the Germans!

[@drbos]

IDK, I think it has to do with the driver. I know how to drive mine. That thing can hull azz!!!

[@conranteel3811]

drbos fr this thing hauls!! Everyone is so surprised with the torque it has

[@jaredshelton4718]

Sorento blows this shit out of the water.

[@beverywhereyouare]

The thing’s a SLUG ! I’ve got a 2017 ... they don’t even reccomend towing with it b/c power’s so pathetic.

[@chitpaul]

The Fast Lane Car are interested in Bhp only....but in the US you really only have straight roads....your speed limits are low...yet you love big heavy engines, most manufacturer's from around the world run rings around you American muscle cars....this car is not made to do fast straight line dashes.....

[@Friebe1000]

ROMAN elevation hardly means anything to forced induction vehicles. Even Nathan catches you sayin it in other videos. Just stop talking about sea level we all know you dont live there

[@phantom6750]

Why compare this to the X1 xDrive35i? Isn't this a x3/x4 xDrive28i competitor?

[@sic22l]

28i is still significantly faster.

[@markk1931]

Pontiac Aztec inspired

[@kma198199]

......yes, they avoided anything that looks like an Aztek.

[@DimachkaS]

Beans

[@armesisp3201]

The front grille looks like a vacuum cleaner

[@BTC909]

Loose the nanny throttle Lexus on the F-Sport version. You already offer a Hybrid.

[@chaoticmmlp1070]

ngl mines get there in 5 u gotta manually launch that mf 😂

[@kirbyswarp]

It looks like was forced to drink lemon juice.

[@darrenloke5486]

It sounds really bad. I don't think anyone would be pleased flooring it. Transmission is really slow. Engine is not bad, considering how late Toyota is to the forced induction game.

[@mclovink28]

Toyota had turbo cars in the 90's they just stop putting them in for what ever reason.

[@fatbart8551]

This car is for hauling kids and groceries around. It’s not made for the track.

[@MemphisMojo15s]

Lexus should never make any vehicle with a 0-60 time slower than 6.5 seconds. Even at sea level this car will be slow. Lexus make beautiful cars that are dependable, but, overpriced, as all luxury cars are.

[@azhariqbal1212]

Do we really buy these car's for 0-60. I mean what is wrong with you.

[@renkiraa]

They do it for fun.

[@CeeStyleDj]

gosh, just freaking move out of Colorado if you're going to do car testing. It makes every 0 to 60 test disappointing!.....

[@mali-uw3zw]

dude this guy dos not know anything about cars at all ..all his reviews are negative all he thinks about is who faster from zero to 60

[@nickkhedoo]

Still sucks with Turbo. Too slow! My civic Ex nav makes less than 5 sec 0-60 including stage 2 package with intake and muffler. This Lexus has a Turbo and making almost 10 sec 0-60, are you kidding me??

[@MemphisMojo15s]

You're gonna compare an AWD SUV to a 2 stage tuned 4 banger Front wheel drive Civic that barely weighs 3100lbs, if that, to the Lexus that weighs over 4,000lbs and has only a 2.0 with a small turbo and is only making 236hp, and running at 1 mile above sea level, ? Take out your tune and run them stock vs stock, factoring in power to weight ratio, and also the much larger front end and higher off the ground Lexus that catches way more wind drag..and the ending will be a lot different. PS, you're not running 0-60 in less than 5 seconds in a street driven car, with factory tires, skinny tires at that..Without A turbo!

[@nickkhedoo]

Am on winter tires :D Now i dont know if my car is special or not but all i know is can take down a 305 HP anything and already did it anyway! I dont even know how many HP i have lol but when it pulls, it pulls 4-5 km each when on gas! Boom! Easy!

[@nickkhedoo]

Let's say max 190HP "Maybe". Hopefully i get better, but you have a point too tho. I agree ;-) Lighter car will kick for sure!

[@gr743g43ggfb4]

slow and bad fuel economy...

[@tungol00]

My camry is faster than this lol!

[@tungol00]

Yeah I got the V6.

[@adams1696]

tungol00 well 270 horsepower vs 200

[@tungol00]

True but I am also comparing luxury brand to a economy brand, a lot of suv's are faster than cars.

[@adams1696]

tungol00 So since a lexus LS460 is a luxury car, does that mean it's faster than a Gtr, or a GT500? no lol

[@tungol00]

Man I'm gonna stop because you dont't get my point lol!

[@henrypacheco9048]

Damn it's ugly
