[@mikebedford4362]

Just received my new 450 so went back to this review which is definitely one of the best! Great stuff, thanks

OMFG SHE'S BACK!!!!

Good review. Love that you just don't merely hype the car no matter what. You point out the good points as well as the potential megatives.

[@Drivecomau]

We really appreciate that! Big thank you, while it's great to look for the positives it's important to us that we give you all information we can.

[@michaelwiebe4282]

Well-made review, didn't know this reviewer! Good review!

[@tonykerry8326]

Where's Emma. Does she still work at drive? Hope so. Absolutely loved the volvo xc60 review she did recently. Fell in love. With the volvo of course!

Been waiting for the latest review from Susannah. Been a while since they made a video review with her

' Antics in the back-seat ' that comment got me thinking.

Well done for checking for space between child seats 👍🏻

…..Glad you LOVE this car...........I own the 2022 450h+ F sport..Note the Heads Up display on the windshield W/14” Crystal clear display on both, alone makes the Lexus better........Mine is In Atomic Silver Glows in the Sun Light with Lil" grey metal flake" and same Circut Red interior.. but with Electric battery...Has 306 Horse power 0 to 60 in 5.6 sec (Via Road and track at drag strip!.) This model DOES- NOT have a TURBO...But rather, a Naturally aspirated / Carb...........(important because it is well known that TURBOS stress engines)...simply said: see euro cars shop time!....this car combines the Elec Batt and engine to achieve *89 miles per Gallon in Hybred mode with HIGH torq, And VERY quick out of the hole...Jus' blew the doors off a 735i beemer...albeit for only a block ...( I am no dummy a V* will eventually pass many cars in the long dist. (in all fairness) ......However, who cares the thrill is initial take off and tickets are for high speed & SPEED...Kill's! My car has Red Calipers against Powder coated Gloss spoke Black mags and All red "F" Sport Badges........ FAR better built than euro's (mine built in Japan) sadly, new releases are now being made in Canada! Like USA Union shops...no one gets fired for a hang over and bad work??? maybe)..... However, Lexus is Far more reliable...Far better Re-Sale that Euro beemers or mercedes Check Engine Light Gucci headache) .......indeed mine has Gone UP in price...Not many cars you can find Like that!... IF YOU CAN FIND ONE ANYWHERE do grab it!......"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 43 miles per 120 Volt charge (real world driving my experience.) 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 that are depreciating the moment you drive off the lot BIG TIME! And are un- reliable offering to say nothing of the GAS HOG unproven G 70, & RDX not worth mentioning. Z Best of the BEST F Sport 450h+ ! ….One more thing, Jus' a heads up!......My wife drives the RX 2020 model...Consider putting Michelins on your NX 450h+ F Sport......Far and away EVEN a much smoother ride Much better ride than the HARD Run Flat Bridgestones that come stock. Carry a Batt. quality inflator ( DeWalt 20V MAX Corded/Cordless Air Inflator ) and string tar impregnated rope insert-er and Do-Not wait for AAA.

Great review. Makes sense to have plugin hybrid while we transition to EVs. Still loving my GV70 3.5T tho. 😄

[@THEAC83]

The 450h+ was on our shopping list but it doesn’t come with a panoramic roof or the Mark Levinson sound system. We put a deposit on the 350h F Sport AWD with Enhancement Pack 2 instead. Ordered in February and we still don’t have a build date.

[@itsracer7495]

Because of your choice of sunroof and h model is causing all the delays. Wife’s order without the Hybrid and enhancement pack from April will be build 30/June

[@THEAC83]

@@itsracer7495 so your wife ordered a model that is undesirable. If I’m spending the money, I’m getting the model I want. I’d rather complain than order what your wife did.

[@itsracer7495]

@@THEAC83 that’s the model she wanted, she doesn’t want sunroof or electric hybrid after test drive she chose 350 F sport

Is Lexus USA offering the installation of the home charger?

[@rof8200]

Thank the Lord! 😊🙏

[@veebee3969]

Why does Lexus sticking to this 'not so looking good' front grill design?

[@donaldbanner2185]

Because for MANY it is good looking, stands out from the Trout!

Absence of Mark Levinson sound system was a deal breaker for me.

Silly and oversimplified statement.....and yes they are the answer, at least for the next few years!
