Huge step ahead with the updated infotainment. More intuitive and efficient. Keeping your eyes on the road by having the steering wheel menu inputs show up on the heads up display is a subtle and very useful change. This would be the first non-F lexus I'd consider.
@ttjasi98 Жыл бұрын
We just purchased the 2022 NX 250 with premium package. This seems to be the model that no one reviews. For me as a person who keeps a car forever, the perfect mix. It has a naturally asperated 2.5 liter. No turbo charger to put extra stress on the engine and extra parts to eventually wear and possibly need to be replaced. Also not hybrid to be concerned with battery replacement in years to come. I don't drive a car like I stole it (anymore) so 0-60 times that are 2 seconds less and nearly $10,000 less than the top drive train plug in hybrid are not a concern. There is plenty of power for normal driving, passing, etc. It averages around 30mpg too. I definitely did not want the head-up display that has blank steering wheel controls that change depending on what mode you are in. The 250 has dedicated steering wheel buttons clearly labeled for phone and audio control, cruise control and all of the MID display functions. The premium package adds moon roof, heated and ventilated front seats, foot operated rear power tail gate and other options. One additional option we did get is the gorgeous 14" infotainment touch screen. All in all, a reliable and fuel efficient beautiful car with all the safety and luxury components we could want at a reasonable price.

If they can't afford the higher trim they should probably not be looking at luxury vehicles. There are perfectly nice alternatives from Toyota and others that cost a lot less.

In our testing, we beat the Lexus-estimated acceleration to 60 mph by a full half-second, hitting 60 in 5.5 seconds versus the quoted 6.0-second time. That's quicker than the other 2022 NX models we've tested, but a 2021 XC60 Recharge reaches 60 in a MotorTrend-tested 5.0 seconds. We haven't yet tested a Q5 plug-in, but Audi estimates its model to be just as quick as the Volvo. In case you wonder, the lighter-weight RAV4 Prime matches the NX450h+'s 5.5-second time to 60. This means the NX plug-in hybrid is both the quickest NX money can buy and the slowest SUV in its tiny segment.

I was going to wait for the NX450+ to come out but in the end, I didn't. I just bought the Hyundai Santa Fe PHEV Limited trim last week and I'm extremely happy with it. No looking back for me. I actually got 35/36 miles of pure electric range from my commute even though it was advertised at 31 miles.

@rrrogster2 жыл бұрын
While Lexus/Toyota engines that specify premium fuel will run on regular gas it is NOT recommended by the manufacturer. Turbo engines generally have higher compression ratios and run hotter than a normally aspirated engine by design. If you use regular gas when premium is specified the engine will automatically retard the timing producing less power. More importantly the engine will run even hotter placing additional thermal stresses on the engine and turbo which over time will shorten the life of the engine. There are videos available here on youtube that explain this in detail in you are interested. Saving pennies on fuel compared to replacing an engine - your choice.

the trim naming is.... what you guys think? NX 250....... 2.5L/203hp NX 350........2.4T/275 NX 350h......2.5+E/239 NX 450h+.....2.5+E/302 Does this indicate that next RX 350 will actually be turbo-4 and not 3.5L-V6?
@markmiller32792 жыл бұрын
Whatever the naming, I suspect the next RX will drop V-6 in favor of a turbo four.

@@duchoang7856 not just performance. It’s handling, exterior design, and interior design, comfort, suspension polish, materials quality, fit and finish, the technology, practicality, the level of luxury it exudes, the amount of presence it exudes. Every reviewer has said the gv80 absolutely destroys the RX. Alex on autos himself titled his first gv80 review “the suv Lexus should have built”. He himself said the gv80 interior really is world class and can go toe to toe with the X5 xc90 GLE. He said he would take the gv80 over the RX pretty much any day Literally every luxury suv has some high power option and I’m not talking the 500hp X5m50i or GLE53 AMG. The MDX type S is coming out w 355hp turbo v6 and fast shifting 10 speed, and the gv80 has a turbo v6 w 375 The most powerful RX will probably be 302hp the rx450h+. And knowing Lexus it’ll be very expensive. There’s no way there’ll be a 400 or 500hp RX If Lexus wants to even compete, they have to first far exceed the gv80. That’s the first target. They need to make the interior way nicer than the gv80 perhaps use the LC500 interior as a starting point

I believe it beeps because the vehicle isn't on or because a door is open. In a hybrid you can't hear the difference between accessory mode and on so they put a beep to warn you (either not to get out with the car still on or to remember to turn the car on before trying to drive.) I'm not sure why they keep the beep in non-hybrid models.

Alex, Congratulations! Toyota Motor Corporation finally listened to your suggestion to install the 240 hp Highlander Hybrid system in a RAV4 sized vehicle. The 350h's 39 mpg combined with a respectable 2,000 lbs tow capacity tells me there is NO downside to doing this. Hopefully the new Ontario-made NX will be as good as your Ontario-made RAV4 Hybrid. In regard to the 'unavailability' of the base NX 250 at the launch event, is Lexus waiting for that slow, inefficient 203 hp PINATA to be bashed in a less public forum? Finally, we all look forward to your upcoming NX 350h vs Venza vs RAV4 Hybrid video. :D
