2022 Lexus NX 350 F Sport Off Road: Pushed to the Limit and Beyond

[@geraldg6542]

I'm actually impressed.

[@EngineAdventures]

Thanks for watching and commenting! Modern vehicles have significantly better traction aids than their older counterparts.

[@janscott127]

It’s a luxury suv not a off road. I own one and love it.

[@EngineAdventures]

Absolutely, but a fun test anyway. Thanks for commenting!

[@ModernDayMixtapes]

I subscribed SO fast. LOVE these off road vids and love your whole channel!!

[@EngineAdventures]

Thanks for the support!

[@TechJunky777]

I didn’t buy this vehicle for off roading but it is awesome to know it could do this if you were in a pinch! Thanks for this review! 😎

[@EngineAdventures]

Thanks for watching and commenting!!

[@basicallyoperate]

Nice review! Good enough for me since I didn't even expect a luxury crossover is gonna do something like this. To be honest I'd be more afraid of blowing the run-flat on these than worrying about the AWD overheat lol! Keep up the good work!

[@EngineAdventures]

Thanks for the support! I have gotten a couple of flats (even one just a few weeks ago) from vehicles with large wheels and low profile tires. The vehicles overall can generally handle quite a lot, but low bodies and small sidewalls can be very limiting!

[@pinkipipe]

That’s absolutely good off-road NX …

[@EngineAdventures]

Thanks for watching and commenting!

[@jliverty]

This might be different class but I always curious how this NX performance compare with rav4 hybrid one in terms of off-road

[@EngineAdventures]

The only RAV4 hybrid I've tested was done before I started KZbin. I have tested non hybrid versions and the Prime on this channel though. My best guess is that the hybrid performs similarly to the NX.

[@jliverty]

@@EngineAdventures you referring nx gas? And I understand there’s class different between Toyota and Lexus but I’ve done calculation rav4 hybrid xse and nx f sport the difference in terms of price around $7000-8000 I think and do you use your nx a lot for long road trip + off road ?

[@EngineAdventures]

This is just a media vehicle that I had for a week to review. It definitely is a step above the RAV4 as far as interior quality and features, so it may be worth the price jump for some.

[@jliverty]

By the way thanks for the video and it was insightful to see how the nx perform

[@EngineAdventures]

@@jliverty thanks for watching and commenting! It helps throw the channel.

[@Coloradohiker658]

Great review. Little scary on the teetering

[@EngineAdventures]

I occasionally mess up and bottom out the vehicle, that's when I don't like it. If I'm able to keep the front wheel high so I don't high center I'm happier, even if it is a little tipsy.

[@raymarcable1292]

I give this vehicle more than a thumbs up. Any hill higher then the one it climbed would be unfair. 👏🏽Great job by Lexus.

[@EngineAdventures]

Thanks for watching and commenting Ray! The NX isn't designed for this stuff and actually does better than most people would think!

[@raymarcable1292]

@@EngineAdventures your welcome, believe me i own the same model, performance rotor & caliber,light weight wheels, performance exhaust , pirelli tires, suspension. Is a sleeper.👌🏽

[@jair8472]

what would be a good alternative of this vehicle but also for off roading? i really like this but would like this NX but would like something more off road capable

[@EngineAdventures]

For the US market your options are limited. Jeep Cherokee Trailhawk is the best offroader in this class by far. I doubt anything will be as reliable as the NX. The Rav 4 will be a bit better than NX off-road and still reliable.

[@rondail5675]

Good, simple, testing! Do you pucker-up when the car is teetering on 2 wheels?

[@EngineAdventures]

Thanks! I'm mostly used to it, but sometimes I still get a bit scared of damaging something.

[@f50koenigg]

Any plan to test the all new outlander phev?

[@EngineAdventures]

Nothing scheduled. I don't think I'm on Mitsubishi's list yet. I'll see what I can do.

[@f50koenigg]

@@EngineAdventures Definitely man. Im pretty sure that there are Mitsubishi dealer in your that would be down lend you one for review.

[@CB460xz]

Got Tool playing there. Probably sounds great in that car. Especially, if it has the ML sound system.

[@EngineAdventures]

This one did have a decent sound system in it. I like music, but don't crank the volume.

[@vladepast4936]

good video!

[@EngineAdventures]

Thanks for watching!

[@downhillskier7]

Front and Rear Torsen differential along with skid plates needed

[@EngineAdventures]

That would certainly help! It does great at what it was designed for, all weather on pavement driving.

[@boldllama41]

I'm wondering if this NX 350 can go through super flooded area without getting flooded engine

[@EngineAdventures]

Someone who owns one will have to chime in, but I think the air intake is pretty low. You'd probably be ok in about a foot of water with good driving technique. I wouldn't go beyond that though.

[@lexielaughs365]

Man I'm just trying to get groceries over here.

[@EngineAdventures]

I was just following my GPS to the grocery store as well!

[@dhworlf]

nice good car nx❤🎉🎉🎉

[@EngineAdventures]

Thanks for watching!

[@donaldbanner2185]

...........................You MESSED up You MUST do this with the *** 450h+ F Sport with Elec Batt Much more torq and 45 HP more no contest....Low end Torq via batt whole ifferent animal and the 450h+ Has "ADAPTIVE SUSPENSION!!!

[@EngineAdventures]

If I get the chance, I will. I test whatever vehicles I can get the fleet managers to send me. Thanks for watching and commenting!

[@bonilla1240]

The hybrid plug in, a possible overland build? 🤔

[@EngineAdventures]

Just depends on the type of overlanding you do. The RX would definitely make for a comfortable ride on long drives and can manage mild off pavement routes.

[@GoogleUser-th2og]

Taking that offroad 😢

[@EngineAdventures]

No damage was done, and it's just good to know what your vehicle can do in case you ever need it to do something.

[@paulgregroy1986]

This Car is not ment for this. Toyota land cruiser is meant for this.but im Sure Lexus is ok with easy Farm Track.Lexus is a Road Car.

[@EngineAdventures]

You are correct, but it's a fun test none the less. It also does give a pretty good idea of how the AWD will perform in inclement weather.
