Like most luxury brands these days, Lexus has a full lineup of SUVs; but, unlike most, it was their parent company Toyota that really kicked off the crossover craze here with the 1995 RAV4. Yet, it took them until 2015 to release a true Lexus version of the RAV: the NX, which now begins its 2nd generation.

@@donaldbanner2185 I'd be fine with that. Do you have Toyota RAV4 PRIME SE? I'm just saying that if a person is upgrading to LEXUS, you'd think they would upgrade the standard charger for you with no extra charge. I guess that's not reality.

Driving one of the first NX 350 F Sport units in Australia and have had an NX 200T and an NX 300. This is a massive improvement in every way. Love the brand new 2.4L turbo engine, but wouldn't have gone for one of the 350h in hindsight at essentially the same price and half the fuel consumption.

It's interesting that reviewers indicate a "whopping" or "excessive" 56,000 as an msrp. In reality, Lexus does not ship this vehicle for less than 61,000. 99% of the vehicles that are being shipped by the manufacturer are 61,000 to $62,000 for the 450h. And most parts of North america, you will find a MARK UP along with mandatory add-ons with this vehicle. In California in particular, where this vehicle is most plentiful and there is somewhat of a reasonable allocation, this vehicle generally has a markup of $5,000 to $15,000. Therefore, in reality, this is far from a 56k car. It's more like a 70,000 vehicle to 75,000.00++ vehicle. And with tax license etc, EASILY it passes the 80k mark. That's the reality.

@@donaldbanner2185 I’ve driven a 2022 nx350 luxury as a loaner while my 2020 camry v6 was getting serviced and it didn’t feel any better or smoother or quieter than the camry. If anything it felt like a downgrade driving the nx. I couldn’t wait to get out of it and drive my Camry again. Between the two I found the Camry to be more refined and sophisticated. It also has a nicer interior than the nx combined with better tech and ergonomics, much better performance, better handling/ride balance, and it’s almost Lexus quiet on the road. Not to mention no gimmicks and it has more legroom

This model DOES- NOT have a TURBO...But rather Naturally aspirated / Carb...........important because it is well known that TURBOS stress engines...simply see euro cars shop time!....this car combines the Elec Batt and engine to achieve HIGH torq, And VERY quick out of the hole...Jus' blew the doors off a 735i beemer...albeit for nly a block ...V* would have caught up in the end (in all fairness......However who cares the thrill is initial take off and tickets are for high speed & Kill's! My car has Red Calipers against Powder coated Gloss spoke Black mags and All red "F" Sport Badges........ It is FAR better built (mine in Japan) sadly the own if you can get them??? are Mfg in Canada!.....Lexus is Far more reliable...Far better Re-Sale that Euro beemers or mercedes.......indeed mine is going up in price IF YOU CAN FIND ONE ANYWHERE......"econ 101".....Has (3) elec. motors gett'n 0 to 60 in 5.6 sec (road and track) HIGH torque QUICK out of Hole!......Never do I use gas gett'n 42 miles per 120 Volt charge and NEVER USE GAS....and almost Silent operation in elec....So do your research......as this is Far better than any European beemer or mercedes depreciating un reliable offering to say nothing of the GAS HOG unproven G 70, & RDX not worth mentioning.
