I purchased a 2025 Lexus NX 350 F this week. I am still learning how to control the 9.8” screen and agree once the run flat tires need replacing I’m putting regular tires. I love the way it handles, the distance control, the great seats and the beauty. It’s a show stopper. Blacked out tires, ultra-white that glistens with black rear view mirrors. The heads-up display is amazing. It takes some time to learn all it has to offer but I purchased at a great dealership who is tutoring me.

[@codincoman9019]

The NX is its segment leader, especially with the hybrid. The plug-in brings some inconveniences, being closer to a BEV (the lack of reliability and the high TCO included). Lexus is #1 in reliability, #3 in low TCO (Total Cost of Ownership), longevity etc. thus also a resale value champion. Btw, the electric clunkers are the LEAST RELIABLE cars according to Consumer Reports annual reliability survey and with the highest TCO (huge when you also change the battery), while the hybrids are the MOST RELIABLE cars and having the lowest TCO - I can give a minor confirmation on this: I have a Lexus hybrid and I had 0 issues (not even recalls) in 5 years and a surprisingly low TCO (despite applying an excessive maintenance, changing the oil/filter every 5k miles etc.).

[@pierreboulay6035]

Not sure why some complain about space. I have two boys (6'4 and 6'1") and they don't complain. We have enough room for our needs and you can fit 1000$ grocery from Costco when you fold the rear seats 😂

Hi William, I too have this Lexus and similar to you will simply replace the run flat tires with premium tires (with tire kit stored)…simple fix

Just got my gorgeous 2025 NX 350 Hybrid in Nori Green on Friday. I have a lot to learn! Confirming: If I want, I can change the run-flat tires for regular 18” tires. I can use regular gas vs premium… or the middle grade? The dealer was trying to sell several insurance plans which I did not buy. Was there one that you would recommend? Service in 6 months?

[@MzKolaPop]

Your review has come just in time. I have been trying to choose between the NX and RX350. I do need the extra interior and cabin space and I also don't want the run flat tires. So it sounds like my decision would be the RX350. Now I'm okay with regular RX350 but I'd consider the RX 350h. Not interested in the plugin. Thanks for your review!!

[@donaldbanner2185]

[@NoHypebeastZay]

So????

[@user-mw3oc4it7t]

I've been a happy red NX350h owner for about a year. I completely agree that it's a little small compared to the RX. However, the front of NX looks much better than the new RX. With the same engine set up along with a little more room, it would cost $10,000 USD more. If I had really cared about the space in the first place, I should have gotten the TX instead. Since I'm single now, I'm happy to have a better-looking and less common NX over the RX. Hensley, different colors of NX do seem to make the car look totally different.

[@kpmmsupervision1297]

TX? Definitely you are not aware of the horrendous flaws it has among the new Toyota Grand Highlander regarding the air bags for front passengers, driver and front passenger will die on a front collision. Production has been suspended!

[@simontong2954]

I did test both NX and RX hybrid before buying the RX350 Hybrid. Just don't like the run flat tires, the cramp interior of NX. RX provides more space and more options than NX too.

[@RogerSirard]

Hi again Shari. I am the owner of the CX50 Turbo and thinking of the trade for the CX50 hybrid on your other review. However, the NX350h was on my short list months before the CX50 hybrid was announced. Would it be worth the extra cost for the more luxurious NX350h in your opinion ? Really looking forward to your response.

[@carhelpcorner]

Both are great vehicles. The biggest benefit of the NX350h is that it is more comfortable and quieter than the CX-50. If you want that quieter, softer ride and nicer interior then I'd say the Lexus is worth it.

[@RogerSirard]

@@carhelpcorner Thanks again for the thoughtful and quick response Shari......... it's really appreciated. I am so torn between the NX350h and the Mazda CX50 hybrid it literally keeps me awake at night. Different animals having their own strengths. The Lexus for its luxurious quieter and smooth ride, but with run flats and no spare. The Mazda with basically the same hybrid powertrain and better handling characteristics, great styling, larger cargo and a real spare. Too many cars and too little time, lol.

I originally went in to buy a 2025 NX250 but went with the NX350h instead and I’m glad I did. I’ve always wanted a brand new Lexus but have never wanted to spend the money. But I went into Honda looking at a CRV hybrid EX-L and it was $40k. For that much…I just decided it’s time to spend the extra money and get what I really want. Sticker was $53k and they took $1500 off which was nice considering how fast these things seem to sell.

[@stephencampbell3692]

Thanks for all the reviews and videos. I'm at the beginning of the replacement process, and considering 2025 hybrid RAV4, NX350h, UX300h and CR-V. Is it just me? I can get into a CR-V, RAV4 and UX300h no problem, but keep bumping my head on the door frame getting into the NX350h. I admit I have mobility issues, but wonder whether there was some seat configuration thing with the showroom model. Am I crazy? Otherwise the NX really appeals. I also look forward to trying to get into the Crown Signia - I have had a big towing dilemma since I want a smaller hybrid vehicle for fuel economy, yet want to tow a 2000lb trailer from time to time. Had been planning to sell the trailer, but the Signia may delay that need.

[@mikejones-rc4lv]

I don't like the loudness of my 2022 RAV4 hybrid even when cruising. Have not been able to test drive a crown signia. Good luck

[@MoMoZen-nk4is]

I'm really curious about what we mentioned, regarding being able to use Regular gasoline over Premium in the Lexus NX 350h. For any of you that own the NX350h, are you using Regular gas without any issues?

[@mikej238]

Too bad Lexus doesn't want to sell it to Canadians. Tried for a year to get an NX350H 3 price increase two model years. I eventually gave up and got my deposit back.

[@mikejones-rc4lv]

Great video. I am looking at the crown signia too. Cost less and takes regular gas. I have been told the nx 350 is a quieter car and that is very important to me.

The way to get around run flat tires is when you purchase the vehicle get the tire and wheel coverage then you’re always covered

[@kenfrankel3498]

Most people I know who’ve experienced owning cars with run flats have moved on to other brands. I personally had to replace my BMW tires more than I could have imagined. Which begs the question . Why do brands such as Lexus continue to produce vehicles that most customers would prefer not having ? No spare as well. The RX is just too big for my wife and me.

[@codincoman9019]

Because the RFT improved a lot. I have the new Bridgestone RFT on my Lexus and it is quite difficult for normal people to recognize them (my wife cannot, I still can). The RFT is a good solution for not stopping if you get a puncture and seeing the pros and cons for it, I am going with the RFT.

[@donaldbanner2185]

Hmmmmm? Not entirely rational! Yes! Run Flats (tire within a tire) are TRASH...However a more Prudent approach is to simply carry a "Hole Plug filler (string covered is a tar substance)a pair of pliers and tire inflater. Much better than a spare ...as most of the time you Do_Not even have to jack the car up Nor wait for 2 hours for AAA Nor take the Tire to a repair shop (added cost) time & $...Soluton: you might at the New car dealer have them credit you back for the Dog Fun Flats and get Michelins w/ much better rolling resistance and much better mileage and Softer riding.

[@codincoman9019]

Overpriced is relative to the perceived value of money. The fact is the money has far less value than people believe, being printed like crazy, with nothing valuable to back it. Toyota/Lexus increased the prices just like most good producers did, because there is value in their cars (#1 in both reliability and low TCO - Total Cost of Ownership), making them a no-brainer choice (new or used) for smart people.

[@ctclardy]

@@codincoman9019 A well-grounded and reasoned rebuttal. And, I do realize the hyperinflation of recent years has a large part to play in the price increases but, so does corporate greed/profit, which I think both play a part in the outsized increases in prices. Yes, total cost plays a major role (Price paid - resale value) and Toyota remains the leader in that category. Yet, the average consumer still has to be able to purchase the vehicle for that to even come into play and so many more consumers have been left way behind in the new car market. Their salaries have not come close to keeping up, especially for many retirees.

[@codincoman9019]

@@ctclardy Correct. The corporation's greed is there, but the price positioning for Toyota/Lexus (being #1 in reliability, low TCO, longevity, resale values etc.) is still better than that of their competitors. What we should never forget is that most of the price increases come from the governmental regulators dictating stupidly tighter rules, increasing the price of even a base car. Given all these, I still recommend the top, even second hand.

[@spades9048]

Honestly I’m the exact opposite. I have always wanted a brand new Lexus but I just have never been able to justify the price for one until this week. $40k for a CRV seems absolutely crazy to me - just insane to be honest and so at that price point…I got the Lexus yesterday.

Can you get this message across to the manufacturers, please.

[@JBB1636]

I think this nx with run flat tires are only worry free driving when your area, not going away 80km or more, if you a flat tire, you can only run your car up to 80km maximum, you will be stucked on the side of the road waiting for mercy of other drivers to give you a lift and leave your car behind, especially if the temperature outside is -40 degrees celsius, it’s all because you don’t have a spare tire, and when it’s time to go back and tow your car, all parts of the car are almost gone, it’s cannibalized by others.

[@VBinNV]

Thank you. I'm first on the list for a Signia (will only get the saddle tan interior under bronze/blue/white) but have debating it vs the NX-h.

Since you asked. The bottom two rows on the grill are class leading hideous, further touching anything with front end would be $$$$$ Electric battery details very important as Li Ion is not green or recyclable. Suspect that it may be Ni Hydride. Exact measurement of the length of cargo space, seats up and down comparing it to Crown highly useful to include exact weights. Physical buttons for climate and Vol a huge plus worth emphasizing. Repair costs of Lexus vs Euros is speculation once an out of warranty repair is needed. Experience suggests that Lexus is not cheaper. Reliability is proven with Toyota and Lexus which is stellar, performance not so much, the new 8 speed auto needs emphasis and critique. BMW shines here. Seems Volvo has solved many of these issues if it proves reliable. Expensive though extremely well thought out offering.

My experience with NX 350 Sport 23 is a freaking worst. I eventually get reid of the car, from performance, gas mileage to overall experience with noise isolation, multiple multimedia problems. I'm not sure about Hybris, but stay away from gasoline models. Its funny enough, but the only good gas milage you cab get when you go 120km/h on the highway otherwise you will get from 450-500 km from the full tan.
