Two things you didn’t cover. You talked about the mileage, but never said what type of fuel, regular or premium (some RX models run on regular). You showed and talked about the sunroof, but never said if it had a cover to block out the sun. A must for people living in the southwest.

I don't like having 1 million screens, gadgets and other silly things, I prefer the less fussy design of the Lexus cars

[@yashduggal918]

Lexus has more tech? You got to be joking or have no idea what technology is. Lexus, even though they have the best reliability, they’ve had the crappy tech and very old school. NX is a big, a huge step forward no doubt but look at every other car and compare that to Germans, Lexus was not even close. The NX closes the gap a lot.

[@Mrmanbirsandhu]

Lexus def is a better vehicle when you consider reliability and resale value. But they are def not ahead in terms of technology. So many features Germans have that Lexus still doesn’t.

I thought the rear suspension of the new NX is double wishbone setup. Multi link is used for the RAV4

[@revmatchtv]

I probably had RAV4 and IS500 on the brain. Anyway, it's very, very good.

[@SibRevs]

It's strut front and multi-link rear, exactly like the RAV4

[@beexiong2995]

Multilink is Toyota's definition of independent double wishbone.

[@ArmyWestPointAV8R]

I hear that the new NX350H will only run on premium fuel, is that correct? If so, how does this system differ from RAV4/Venza hybrid system? They don’t require premium fuel. Great video!

[@revmatchtv]

91 is recommended per Lexus. I'm not sure if it's required. The Lexus makes about 10 more combined hp. The gas engine output is 189hp vs 176 for the RAV4. If you use 87 you'd probably get about the same power as the RAV4. Overall torque is not quoted, but iirc, the NX feels faster off the line than the RAV4. However it's been months since I drove it, so I can't say for sure.

The nx350h uses the hybrid system from the current gen highlander hybrid and sienna hybrid. That’s why it has more power than the rav4

The tires didn't seem particularly noisy or harsh. You might notice a difference if you swapped out regular tires, but the ride quality in the 350h is exemplary. Lexus is at the top of their game in the ride department.

I was a bit concerned about the size of the vehicle. I don't need anything large but we did look at the previous NX and I thought it was just a bit too small. Is that a consideration?

[@revmatchtv]

It's a bit bigger than the previous NX. The space behind the rear seat is 14% bigger now and is about 22.7 cu ft. Back seat I found very roomy. If it's still to small, you might want to look at the RX or maybe Acura RDX or BMW X3.

[@koiman23]

I really like the redesign. The previous model's front end just seemed weird but I did like the previous model's interior much better. It just said LUXURY more. So far, I see very little that successfully competes with my 2019 UX250h. (Not sure why the UX250h isn't mentioned here). The NX is a little bigger but its MPG is noticeably less (I get about 40 mpg combined, sometimes 42 o 43 on a trip, in my UX250h). While others might need extra room for passengers, I seldom need that and for me, I really like the more compact experience of my UX250h. When Lexus gives me a loaner RX, I can't wait to return it! I wish the NX450h+ was less on the on the horsepower and better on the milage. Lexus let us down here! I despise our reliance on fossil fuel so for me, I think I'm going to pass on the NX350h and the NX450h+. It should not be so expensive to save our planet!

[@PabloTheThinker]

I was also considering the UX and checked it out at two dealerships. But when adding all of the features I wanted, it comes to about the cost of the NX.

[@ThePikmin18]

I owned a 2016 F sport. The 2023 350 is much more luxurious

[@ohcanadaeh]

No spare Tire is a deal breaker for me

[@revmatchtv]

My last 3 cars didn't have a spare tire. I've driven at least 300K since my last flat. Not an issue for me personally.

[@OnlineMD]

My thumbs down for this car. Germans can relax, haha! Just sat in a 2022 NX a few days ago. Raised the car seat to suit my height of 5'7". Still, trying to look over the hood at the road was like trying to look over a mountain. Uhhh. And such a cramped looking cabin so I didn't even bother to check the trunk space. I just walked away. You two guys sat in the back seat, and there didn't seem to be any room for a third person back there. Double Uhhh. In contrast, the new 2022 ES300h is a delight, so spacious, big trunk, even a spare tire despite being a hybrid. That's the one for me. Too bad, I was so looking forward to the NX. For me, gas mileage is important; it is 44 miles a gallon (USA gallons) for the ES300h. The NX hybrid is pretty darn good at 39 mpg. Awesome mileage for an SUV, I'd say. Lexus cars are hard to come by these days due to the global chip shortage, and dealers give zero discounts now. Some charge thousands more than the list price, is what the sales person at the dealer said. The head up display (HUD they call it) is something I've never used and I will never buy another car without that feature! Within 5 years, I was told at the dealership, Lexus will only sell Hybrids and EVs; regular gasoline cars will be history.

Only comes with run flat tires, no spare or jack. Too bad Lexus does not provide the best available ride quality and the least available road noise. They do the opposite. So much for a luxury so called brand providing the most luxurious ride. Spare tires offer the best protection incase of a tire problem. Has worked fantastic for me for over 44 years. I will not be buying a Lexus because of this. At worst run flat tires should only be an option. Many change to quality non run flats later but no place to put a spare and no hack provided. 👎
