2022 Lexus NX350 F Sport 3! The BEST All Around Luxury SUV?!

[@carswithsonduren]

Can we please all just admit to the haters that this NX350 dressed in F Sport goodies is SEXY?

[@Doc1855]

Agreed !!

I just bought mine a few weeks ago; 2023. Cloudburst gray with gloss black wheels. I have never - in decades of driving - bought a car on impulse until now. It cost me in a variety of ways. I will tell you what I like and what I don’t like. First, there is a big part of me that wishes I had taken my time in this process. In hindsight, I would have probably gotten the GV70. I do like the technology inside this car. The adaptive suspension in the F sport is pretty cool. I like the looks (which is what drove me - no pun - to buy it). There are so few cars on showroom floors that I felt if I did not bite it would be gone by the next day. Again, in hindsight, there are cars to buy right now in most brand dealerships. I am actually very disappointed in the acceleration. The engine is LOUD and whiny. Once on the highway, it does have smooth punch for passing etc. My 2018 Q5 was a faster car, with lighter steering. My mechanic told me to go back to Toyota so that is what I did. I did check out the RDX back in 2018 but I hated the dealers here in the US. The best dealers to buy from here are Infiniti. Unfortunately, they stopped making decent cars. Lexus was ok. Audi was also like going to a Chevy dealer. Shocking really. I expected luxury dealers to not be slimy. The interior is NOT real leather which is actually fine.

[@carswithsonduren]

First, congratulations on the car! Every car has its pros and cons but definitely I think it was the right decision as it’s an all-around great contender 🙏 Anything else you notice?

Looks amazing and is going to be delivered to my dealer within 2 months. Really excited for this car to be in my driveway. Got the Ultrasonic Blue Mica 💙 Test drove it and enjoyed every second. I wish I could've driven it longer. The amount of haters this thing has is crazy, I've own 3 lexus vehicles and don't plan to switch over to nothing else. Great review, glad I subscribed 😀

[@carswithsonduren]

That’s awesome to hear. Congratulations and welcome to the channel! You’re going to absolutely love the vehicle. Fingers crossed that you get it within two months and even earlier!

[@StefanMischook]

Best review I’ve seen so far. Good job and thanks.

[@carswithsonduren]

Thanks, Stefan!

[@Tsond123]

Starting to see this NX on the roads. Exterior looks gorgeous. Wish they didn't add that much piano black plastic in the interior. The front passanger dashboard could have used some stitching. Solid vechicle overall.

[@Doc1855]

Most of them in our area (North Central WA state, USA) are hybrids. The Toyota Venza Limited comes only in a hybrid, but it has Lexus luxury of the interior. It’s platform is the Camry. We Love our 18 Lexus ES with the 3.5 V6, naturally aspirated 301 hp engine. Our needs have changed since 18 and now my wife needs an AWD for her commute so we ordered a 23 NX hybrid AWD for her. I have a Rav 4WD Limited with the same engine as our 18 Lexus and I LOVE the 269hp, but it’s getting older so we’ll replace it soon. If the NX hybrid is good as a commuter for my wife, we’ll probably order a RX hybrid for me. I’m retired so I don’t drive much, but we need a larger vehicle for our trips to Montana, Oregon or Canada, so the RX would be nice as my vehicle. We own a 15 Tacoma Limited 4X4 crew cab with the 6’ bed, but we only use it for work around our property and towing our fishing boat. It’s our opinion that Toyota products are the most reliable vehicles on planet earth.

[@jasonbenyon525]

Love this review - I get mine next week - why does no one ever include a review of the stock stereo sound system 😡

[@carswithsonduren]

Nice congrats Jason! The stock sound system is fine IMHO unless you are a audiophile. You will love the SUV!

Hi, I own a 2022 NX 350 F Sport 3 and I must admit I’m disappointed with the sound the engine does (could also come from the exhaust line…) especially when the motor is still cold. It sounds like a can at low speed but when I floor it on the highway, the sound is good. I tested it with the dealer and he told me that all NX are noisy. Have you notice something similar? Other than that, I love it. But not the sound I was expecting with this price tag.

[@carswithsonduren]

I agree it could sound better, especially at cold start. It’s not the end of the world to me, but I do wish it sounded bette. It’s probably the last thing on the importance list for the demographic of their buyers but yea 😅

[@your_royal_highness]

There are TWO rear view cameras. One set higher to match the inside rear view and one lower for backing up.

[@carswithsonduren]

Yes this is correct!

[@hannafordfitness1568]

Great video - I’m not a huge fan of driver aides, can all of the driver aides be turned off?

[@carswithsonduren]

Thanks man! Yes, you can turn off all the driver aids if you’d like.

[@1ashwinvenkat]

You can turn off the auto front facing camera feature @12:07

[@carswithsonduren]

Yes, just learned that! It is kind of hidden in the settings

[@theaimlessporpoise1084]

21:09:00 Audio: "Pedal to the metal!" Video: Vehicle moseys leisurely around a curve. 😀 Enjoyed your thorough review. Maybe add some more about the utility of the interior, cargo, storage, etc?

[@carswithsonduren]

Yes more videos coming that go over each aspect even deeper, especially the impressive safety and self driving capabilities on the highway.

[@GuillermoGonzalez-zelglez]

Great vehicle I’m taking of exchange my 2019 4 runner trd off road for this vehicle. What would you do?

[@carswithsonduren]

I definitely think the technology package is a huge upgrade by itself. Do it ;)

[@THEAC83]

Awesome review man! Random question, where did you get your Red Bull Racing jacket? I want one!!

[@carswithsonduren]

Thanks man! I got it from the official F1 website couple months ago for $129

[@THEAC83]

@@carswithsonduren appreciate it!

[@THEAC83]

@@carswithsonduren Thanks again for the info, I just ordered the jacket! Also, I have one of these on order but the hybrid version (350h). Here in Australia you can get the F-Sport with the self-charging hybrid engine. So the one I ordered is the F-Sport 350h AWD with Enhancement Pack 2, Cobalt Mica exterior and Flare Red interior. Ordered on the 19th of February and still haven’t been given a build date. The wait is painful!

I will see if I can grab one, very similar technology package (almost 100% identical)

Very nice review fellow GTAer. I still like my NX450h+ F Sport just a little more.... 😁😁 The front camera feature can be turned off. There is a button to turn off the automatic camera to come on.

Sending this to my friend! We tried hunting through the settings and found nothing. Awesome! How you liking the 450h+? What’s your range on all electric in the real world?!

How much in USA?

[@Doc1855]

As much as I love the F Sport, I’ll buy the Hybrid instead. I will miss the 3.5 V6 with 269hp in my Rav 4WD Limited, but it’s almost 12 years old so it’s about time to replace it. At my age, the Lexus NX will probably be the last vehicle I’ll ever need to purchase. I’ve ordered a 23 year model.

[@carswithsonduren]

Beautiful car no doubt.

[@badongtagalog5737]

Gv70 wont get a chance. Interior looks nice but man it has a lot of problems. Collision avoidance issue, transmission issues. Some owners reports exploding sunroof. Its a pain to own for sure

[@carswithsonduren]

@badongtagalog5737 damn. This makes me feel better about my choice.

[@raymarcable1292]

Thank You

[@tastybrownie7448]

64k for a tiny car is ridiculous. I sat inside it and the materials are crappy plastic. It looks nice from a distance but sucks when you are sitting in front of it and touching it. You have to be a doctor to afford this or go broke just to afford it with the average income.

[@carswithsonduren]

Definitely can’t argue. It is expensive and a little bit more expensive than its competition, but people are paying the premium for the Lexus brand here.

[@tastybrownie7448]

@@carswithsonduren They're paying for the only luxury vehicle that is reliable. But its more a supply shortage issue. Garbage Ford Broncos are going for 100k dollars now. The higher interest rates are beginning to force prices down a bit. But stupid people keep buying with whatever toxic loans that the banks will approve.

Red interior looks amazing 🤢🤮🤮

[@Doc1855]

I LOVE the Red interior but it would look better if it was Red and Tan instead of the Red and Death Black interior. C’mon Depressing Grey and Death Black became popular in 1990, which was almost 33 years ago.
