2023 Lexus NX450h+ FSport Test Drive Review

[@donaldbanner2185]

..........Finally! a Rational / Intelligent Review Thanks!................ 1st THING is: DUMP THE RUN FLAT TIRE!.............Get Michelin's pick up 49 miles per charge better gas mileage because of the rolling resistance is less and FAR & AWAY MUCH much smoother Ride..........& I NEVER Stop at a Gas Station to wait in line but have the option and USE Regular Gas!💯

[@donaldbanner2185]

Although the 450h+ "F" Sport is VERY quick (big elec batt asist out of hole elec chirps all wheels)...it was Not the added speed I was after but rather, the OPTIONS: i.e. to use NO Freak'n Gas.... at all..... however, if need be, use regular & in Hybred mode you get .......*Yep! 89 miles of empg that is huge!!!!....My thought is NOT to use the polluting oil consuming, maintenance monster ICE. ( I do however fire it once every two months for about 1 mile Jus' to keep the Fluids circulating ad gaskets moist. Change the OIL every year even though there is VERY little use as Oil deteriorates.....At this RATE the ICE will be virtually Brand new in years to come....GREAT TO HAVE A BACKUP!.....This is why I mentioned the 450h+ F Sport is the finest built vehicle!

In the UK, this model is sold with only one option available and that is the panoramic roof. All the options that you have listed come as standard for the UK spec vehicle, obviously price adjusted for this loading. We don't go on to the subscription service until the vehicle is 3 years old is my understanding, for the inbuilt navigation when most use google maps instead. I have a sonic grey NX450h+ F Sport on order expected for November delivery.

Great review! It is very helpful to compare it to other cars. My only concern will be space inside as I am 6'2, 250 lb. Would I fit? Might be helpful in your comment to show the adjustability of head and legroom for someone who is taller, larger. Thank you

Great review, stunning color.

[@larryschlutt7211]

It would have been nice had you gone out of ev mode so we could hear the engine.. im looking for a suv that is quiet. Rav 4 is way to noisy for me.

[@petergazarek9466]

PERFECT DAILY CAR 😍👍🏻

[@fadeaway23mj]

nice review^^

[@curseknight5]

Can you sit in the car with AC or heat on at idle like you can with a full EV?

[@TestDrivenTV]

As long as you want. The engine may be off and on, but the AC blows cold.

[@donalshanaghy6381]

A great car with an excellent reputation, but, as I live in Ireland with cruel taxes, the price of this model in just over €90,000 - ouch !!

[@barbvibes4657]

Good review. Does a 2023 NX 450 h+ require premium gas as the 2022 did? The 2023 RX no longer requires premium gas

[@drewnc6196]

Yes, if you look at the specs, it says it requires premium.

[@4730301]

How does it go?

[@donaldbanner2185]

Extremely quick blow the doors off beemers ( Ok for a Block Only) ...because of Torq of Elec Batt....Had adaptive suspension Firm in turns Softer on frwy even than my wifes new RX 350.............because I dumped the DOG rUN fLATS....and put on Michelin's

[@Healthy_Stuff279]

I call this thing The Boll Weevil. 😁😁😁😁

[@TwoHawksHunting]

It is a nice looking SUV. It is also overpriced for a midsized SUV. If this is in the 60k range what is the price for an RX F Sport?

[@TestDrivenTV]

Because it's a PHEV....

[@donaldbanner2185]

Less money than Most Euros and much superior...I use No Gas, Very quick out of the hole w/ elec and ICE....Great 14" info and re-Sale WELL YOU make 13k Just driving it off the lot...because these are MADE in JAPAN ONLY...Not Canada....And econ 101 everyone wants this however like hens teeth!
