I think you hit the nail on the head perfectly. It's a Lexus. I don't want "sporty" or "driving dynamics". I want a smooth, quiet, refined drive that is a trademark of Lexus.

I've had my NX 350h for 9 days. Getting 42-45 mpg in town and just under 40 mpg on highway. I didn't realize hybrids could be this good. Cannot tell when it uses the electric motors, cannot tell when the ICE engine starts, truly something you have to experience yourself to believe. My dealer usually has none available on their lot. 350h's are usually reserved before they arrive. I was lucky to reserve mine a week before it arrived.

I fell in love with it and decided to buy one, but since i'm always on the road and highways, my friends told me that i wouldn't profit much of it being hybrid... i still bought it, and man she consumes less than the Q3 i had, and i enjoy the quietness even better.

Downshift: Great article! This came at a time when I am getting closer to, after 20 years, replacing my old, reliable Prius. I AM doing my research. I have created a spreadsheet to analyze all my candidates. I am now trying to figure out what I REALLY want in a new car. In the end I am coming to the realization that I want to upgrade to a fancier more luxurious vehicle but I don't need a 7 passenger monster to do it. I want SOME utility (like with the Prius) but not needing to frequently transport refrigerators. Just recently I discovered the Lexus NX 350h. To my surprise it has the luxury I am looking for and the "hybrid-ness" of the Prius. It will also fit in the space that my Prius currently occupies so I don't have to re-arrange my garage. And, best of all, it belongs in the Toyota/Lexus family, both well known for their reliability. It may be more expensive, but what with inflation over the last 20 years, it shouldn't be surprising to those witnessing car prices rise over the last two decades. Watching your well crafted video has gone a long way to make me realize that all I want, in the first place, is to have a fancier, more comfortable, and ... familiar (?) Prius, which is what the NX 350h appears to be. I am hoping to make the change within a year. Thanks!

Hope it's better than the non-h variants as I was recently poised to buy a new either an NX or RX... until I drove both of them. Somehow Lexus managed to make a non-CVT transmission feel like one & somehow they made 275hp feel like less than the 200 &/or 228hp BMW, VW, & Audi direct competitors. Was blown away (in a bad way) at how awful the driving dynamics were in the the NX & RX. Their cars are nice places to be interior wise, but anyone that actually likes driving would be doing themselves a disservice going the Lexus NX/RX route.

I drive this car daily. I put on Michelin cross climate 2 tires and it handles a lot better than stock run flat tires. Does it handle like a BMW? No, but it’s no slouch. It’s reliable, great on fuel, looks great (my opinion), and has great tech. Very quiet inside, too.
@timmitchell33536 ай бұрын
The drive portion should have included information on the CVT… I agree with everything said but I bought the NX350… no hybrid… mainly because of all the hybrids with the exception of the new Toyota Crown. Generally, the CVT when extended creates a strained and “tinny” sound. Wanted to hear whether you heard that same sound.
@berniekitts17863 ай бұрын
There are belt driven CVT's and there are the planetary gear type that Lexus uses. The former lugs in low end acceleration but the Planetary gear type does not. No tinny sound either. The rev count pegs at a higher RPM and stays there for a bit while the ECVT changes ratios and you just go faster. The Turbo NX350's have their own whine too and require 91 Octane. The hybrids can run on Regular fuel.
