2015 Lexus NX 200t / NX 300h Detailed Review and Road Test - In 4K!

[@kevinabraham2029]

Just bought this car and I love it! Highly recommend it for anyone who wants a buttery smooth ride, comfortable seats, and extra-reliable transport.

[@jasonrothfeld]

Is the ride extremely plush? I don't want any sportyness only silky smooth ride. Ive heard the RX offers a great ride but the NX looks better. Just wondering before I test drive.

[@parsaesteky]

Jason Rothfeld we had the 2015 RX350 for 2.5 years and we test drove the NX200t. The RX350 has a slightly softer ride, but I can say the NX was smoother than the X3 for example. I would recommend the NX for sure.

[@Toyota4Life]

I love this car. Looks great inside and out and being a Lexus you know your in good hands years to come. Really good car

[@CarsofGlasgow]

Agreed I have a video on the 2020 NX if you wish to see it? kzbin.info/www/bejne/mGjTmn1thMmhbMk

[@FullMetal-nu8bj]

Your reviews are the most technical. *bows down

[@arjunselvi]

Thank you Alex for the detailed review. My wife and I own this car and enjoy every minute we are driving. The drive is smooth and the interior is very luxurious. It is very user friendly and also spacious inside. 5 STARS from us for the car and the review!!!

[@phillipschoe9518]

I'm probably in a minority, but I quite like the design. The F Sport model more so than the regular.

[@nimab8935]

I love it too!

[@afa6361]

It looks strange and different from others, but that's why I like it.

[@wigglepickle]

Lexus will sell thousands upon thousands of these. This car looks incredible.

[@Mercer1012]

A Lexus RX350 pulled up next to you at 18:30 right around when you were talking about it. lol Then an ES350(?) at 19:26.

[@italianguy25]

Great job as always Alex, I agree, no better value than the NX200h.

[@fkporsche1]

I like your very details review video. Thank you for your comments.

[@CarsofGlasgow]

I have a video on the 2020 NX if you wish to see it? kzbin.info/www/bejne/mGjTmn1thMmhbMk

[@NetworKingmadeSimple]

thanks for the amazing detailed review Alex on Autos.

[@normaspirated]

I had a ES 300h loaner, and this hybrid drive train is WORLDS better than the one found in my HS 250h and the '07-'11 Camry Hybrid. It's only a 13 hp increase, but the torque is significant especially at WOT compared to it's predecessor.

[@msbgone]

How does a 2015-2017 LEXUS NX 300H or 200t compare to a 2015-2017 Lincoln MKC? Ha you said Lexus MKC... lol..... Still watching... heard it at the end! Cool! 5 years later you are still making awesome detailed vids!

[@alexhuang870]

Really detailed review. Thanks

[@Peter-kl8ff]

Very good review. Thank you Alex!

[@AAutoBuyersGuide]

Sharat, it was around 23 MPG in the 200t AWD

[@4coolking]

23 City I am guessing!. What was the number on the highway you got? This car is in top of my list absolutely love it but a high $ for hybrid almost a difference of over $5000 makes me fight with myself if to go for a 200t or 300h. Is 300h really worth it? Any help!

[@AAutoBuyersGuide]

Sharat Chandra That was the combined figure with city and highway driving. If you're gentle and keep it to the speed limit the EPA highway rating is possible on level roadways. If/when gas returns to $5/gallon, the hybrid will make a great deal of sense.

[@4coolking]

I like how he casually lies down in the boot at 9:21

[@raphtal]

love this review. very thorough. great job

[@rbbaldwin1]

Alex, you missed a nifty feature in the back. There is a specifically molded area to stow the folded cargo cover under the cargo load floor. And the touch pad is the new version of Lexus remote touch not Lexus Enform. Lexus Enform is a suite of apps that is accessible when you have downloaded and installed the companion software on your smartphone.

[@robgonzo6966]

Good video!

[@chasenisamazing]

Great video Alex as usual. thank you!

[@esquire2K11]

I really appreciate this detailed review. I’m researching to decide between the vehicles on this review and the ‘13 RX 450 H (w/awd)😬

[@random-videos]

awesome review

[@CarsofGlasgow]

I have a video on the 2020 NX if you wish to see it? kzbin.info/www/bejne/mGjTmn1thMmhbMk

[@eddyjimenez2762]

Love your very detailed reviews on all vehicles. Wondering if you would ever have a a review on the subaru outback 3.6r. Or wondering if you would recommend it. Love your channel

[@AAutoBuyersGuide]

Eddy JImenez The Outback yes, the Outback 3.6, not really. The 3.6L engine isn't as refined as the competition's V6 engines and although the center of gravity is low, the weight distribution in the H6 model is heavily skewed toward the front. Fuel economy is fairly lacklustre as well. The Outback doesn't have any natural competition however since it is the only AWD wagon like that on sale in the USA. The Volvo XC70 and Audi allroad are much more expensive and anything else would be more SUV like. Personally I'd save the cash and get the Outback 2.5, but if your really want the extra power that 3.6 is your only option, just expect to pay more at the pump and more in long term maintenance.

[@eddyjimenez2762]

Thank you so much. Cant wait for the next reviews

[@djclown7pb]

i was in love with the 200 t but now I want the 300h

[@lexusfan100]

i think u should a video about meaning of injection moulded, stitching , imitation leather or how to tell real from fake wood etc

[@vtube1100]

This is a great review. Ty

[@RobertLeBlancPhoto]

Thanks for another great review Alex on Autos. Since it was refreshed for 2015, could you please do a thorough review of the new BMW X3 328i/335i xDrive? Thanks!

[@AAutoBuyersGuide]

I haven't scheduled an X3 yet, but I will have an X4 at some point soon.

[@RobertLeBlancPhoto]

Thanks. I hope you can schedule an X3 soon, as it will be on our short list in mid to late 2015, after we can compare it with the 2016 Q5.

[@ProBenja5]

Is this the first car with Qi charging? This car looks so cool and it has a ton of tech that is quite futuristic.

[@AAutoBuyersGuide]

Benjamín Valenzuela I think the first car with it was the 2013 Avalon.

[@ren1018]

At 8:09 you call it the lexus mkc.

[@aronma2765]

I noticed too!

[@luc7976]

One weird thing I found is that you cannot fit tire chains on the factory 18" wheels which are in the premium package. That in turn is required if you want blind spot monitoring (so pretty popular package). Tire chains are required in most mountain passes in CA so bit weird they didn't think about that. Workaround would be to purchase different size tires but that cost you bit more. One other thing to note is that the Q5 hybrid is fully loaded so difference is not quite 10K. More like 3K but Q5 hybrid city fuel economy is not good so really no comparison.

[@AAutoBuyersGuide]

It is a little odd, but with production in Japan Lexus likes to keep variations low so they don't have an overstock of odd selling models here. In CA and a few other states you rarely end up with AWD *and* chains required because the state prefers to close the road if they think it passes beyond the AWD *or* chains level. Now that said while they will let you through with a NX 300h AWD or a RX 450h AWD, the fact that only about 70HP are going to the rear wheels makes it a little "unusual" in the snow.

[@luc7976]

Alex on Autos Actually in WA state it's sold with same configuration. I think AWD setup should be alright to get traction in the snow. How does this compare to the A3 AWD which doesn't have the full Quattro? I assume bit better than this since more power?

[@AAutoBuyersGuide]

Lucien E Almost every other AWD system *can* send almost all the power to either axle and would therefore be superior to the Lexus e-AWD system. Viscous clutch systems (which have fallen out of favour now) in general can nearly spilt the power assuming no wheel slip and if the primary axle has zero traction somewhere between 50% and 90% of the power can go to the secondary axle depending on design. Most modern FWD or RWD based systems use a multi-plate clutch setup, this includes the FWD based Audis, almost all BMWs, Mercedes, Volvo, 2015 Subaru, Toyota, Honda, etc vehicles (but excludes most pickup trucks). These systems power the primary axle and can usually fully lock a clutch pack to shift power to the secondary axle. When locked power split is 50/50 and if the primary looses traction then you can get essentially 100% of the power to the secondary axle. Audi and a few others use a Torsen center differential for a fixed power split, in these the power to the secondary is fixed at say 40% but can vary up to the limits in the Torsen design, say 90%. Assuming the Torsen is not a limited slip unit (most are not) the disadvantage is that if one axle has 100% slip, the Torsen will not shift power to the other axle without the intervention of the traction control system. Without a limited slip some power would be consumed by the traction control system in the way of friction so the maximum balance is often 10/90 or 90/10. More rugged systems found on pickup trucks and similar vehicles typically use a simpler clutch pack or a toothed clutch to engage or disengage the secondary axle. This setup does not allow the secondary to spin at a different rate than the primary so this is why you sometimes feel "binding" when turning and most systems say they should not be engaged on high friction surfaces like pavement. This type is robust and can send 100% of the power to either axle, maintains stability in many off-road type situations (especially when combined with front and rear axle locks) but engagement in "auto" modes can be abrupt and on-road performance in the snow frequently lags behind some of the other systems. So circling back around, the A3 and NX 200t use basically the same system. They can send essentially 100% of the power to the rear axle is the front has zero slip, so in the 200t this is about 240HP. Assuming no slip it is 50/50 so about 120HP to the rear in the 200t. The 300h can only do a maximum of 70HP to the rear and since the gearing is fixed it doesn't give you as much low end power to the rear as the others. The 200t in most situations will send nearly twice the power to the rear. Same goes for the Q3.

[@luc7976]

Thanks a lot:-). Great info. So to clarify you find that Yosemite NP says CA law dictates you must carry tire chains in winter when entering park roads even if no snow. But I guess few people are aware of this and not sure how well it's enforced.

[@AAutoBuyersGuide]

Lucien E Must carry and must use are two different things ;-)

[@4coolking]

Thank you Alex for a great detailed review. I know that you have also reviewed NX 200t. Can you please tell me what was the actual on road MPG number you saw for that?. Thank you.

[@tonyajones8655]

Lexus in general like to be a bit more" conservative" . Excellent statement ..Nice and very informative

[@nimab8935]

Great review, awesome car. Just wanted to say that Lincoln and Volvo are not real luxury brands.

[@AAutoBuyersGuide]

Volvo and Lincoln are "near-luxury" brands, but in the industry the NX, X3, Q5 and GLK are alco considered "near luxury" segment products so the comparison is apt. Lexus, BMW, Mercedes and Audi consider the Volvo a "primary competitor" while they don't mention Lincoln in cross-shop data. Without a doubt Lincoln and Volvo lack vehicles that compete in the luxury segment (7-Series, S-Class)

[@nimab8935]

Alex on Autos I really appreciate that you responded to my comment. Many thanks! I meant when I, as a customer, buy a car, i will consider some value for the brand such as BMW, Lexus, etc. Lincoln and Volvo lack that brand value. People don't consider them as Luxury brands.

[@AAutoBuyersGuide]

Nima Bahrehdar Lincoln certainly, Volvo is in this odd place in the middle. If you drove up to the Country Club in your Lincoln, people would assume your investments tanked. If you drove up in a Volvo they would assume that you're a little boring and practical and wear cardigans.

[@ponygt6629]

Nima Bahrehdar Its people who dont consider em luxury, if u want luxury in a cheap price tag, look no further than the MKC 2.0 turbo its just 40 000 USD and absolutely smashes the competition including NX for handling,power,feel,quietness,features,comfort etc Dont judge a brand by its name, try it 1st

[@ikeelu024]

it's interesting to see the test drive be done in areas I drive all the time lol.

[@SAMLEE-bb1xp]

Millbrae and San Bruno

[@pdpgps]

Hi Alex, In terms of NVH, how would you compare this to the Acura TLX? The TLX was one of the quietest cars I've ever owned and the cabin insulation was impressive. Would I be taking a step down going to the NX?

[@clarityofthought]

I really like the aggressive styling...

[@fkporsche1]

Out of all the SUV models. Which brand you like most if you are in the market for a compact SUV? My wife has a 2007 RX 330, she has over 100k miles, no major repairs other than the rear hatch power shock needed to be replace and regular maintenance. I have had German made SUV, it felt like a rock solid build. But once it passed over 100k miles, it seems there are many part need to be replaced. Costly maintenance. Now I have a CayenneS that I drive in my spare time, even my German mechanic told me, this car is good for under 100k miles, he told me the cayenne is quite complicated. How do feel about German brands?

[@AAutoBuyersGuide]

***** Since it seems like you value reliability and repair costs, then the NX, RX and Acura RDX would be your best bets.

[@randomrazr]

this car or the lincoln mkc?

[@cherubshalz]

Hey Alex! Love your reviews. can you do one on the 2015 Lexus IS250? Would love to hear your expert opinion

[@AAutoBuyersGuide]

cherubshalz I have an IS 250 review here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/bZbYd4uAg7ypgsk It is being replaced soon by the IS 200t

[@cherubshalz]

Thank you for that information! I was about to buy the 250 this weekend, but I think I will wait now!

[@iceprincessb]

Are you planning to do a review of the 2016 iteration?

[@CarsofGlasgow]

I have a video on the 2020 NX if you wish to see it? kzbin.info/www/bejne/mGjTmn1thMmhbMk

[@winstonrajendramm.d.700]

Alex, when only 70 hp is going to the rear axel on the hybrid how does that affect the AWD? Does that mean there is great chance for less traction when compared to the 200t?

[@UnhingedMemescomp]

hey alex i wanted to know something about this lexus nx 300 h how many horsepowers does the gasoline engine of nx 300 h make

[@user-zw5ww9tz1j]

".. it is in fact a solid X3 / XC60 / GLK / ***Q5*** competitor."

[@AAutoBuyersGuide]

Totally Awesome Typos will be the death of me...

[@LanceZ99]

lol, we are human, human make mistakes. love your reviews. is it possible that you can do a review on covette stingray? thanks

[@mana1111]

Which is more bright? LED or HID/Xenon? Also does LED fog lights really help at all in bad weather? I find my stock LED fog lights just disappear in the rain/fog/snow so I switched them out for halogen fog lights and it seems to light up the road and lane dividers better. What do you think?

[@AAutoBuyersGuide]

The best answer is "it depends". It is possible to have an LED headlamps that is dimmer or brighter than an HID headlamp, it really just depends on how the manufacturer designed the lamp module. LEDs consume less power, don't need to warm up as long and allow headlamp designs not possible with HID lamps. As far as your LED fogs go, most modern fog lamps aren't really helpful in fog, they are mainly for looks.

[@mana1111]

Alex on Autos great answer! thx!

[@luc7976]

Note all NX come with LED low beam headlights (not that clear in their specs). The triple LED upgrade is for high beam and looks. Fog lights in many areas in US aren't really needed or required. But there are few areas where visibility can go below 150 feet and in that case definitely helpful (I've had my experience with that but pretty rare in most areas).

[@poirierr4]

Excellent review, very curious to know if the 2016 RAV4 Hybrid will have the same system.

[@AAutoBuyersGuide]

Mr. Psychocandy Yes, it is basically the same.

[@dennisscipio]

Did'nt you review this car only the gasoline one?

[@alliejr]

There is no "B" (engine braking) drive mode on the transmission in the hybrid version? Or were you showing the shift column from the 200t?

[@AAutoBuyersGuide]

That is correct, there is no "B" mode. Instead Lexus gives you Sport mode and the manual ratio selection. The manual mode isn't really manual of course but it tries to imitate 7 (or was it 6?) ratios so you can select your own engine braking.

[@corradomr2]

+Alex on Autos nice review. As far as cargo capacity rated at 17 cu ft by Lexus that you mention at 7:58, this is UNDERNEATH the tonneau cover. In reality it's 28 cu ft, in line with the competitions' who measure to the ceiling. See: www.clublexus.com/forums/nx-models-2015-present/782618-cargo-capacity-28-cu-ft-the-proof-is-in-the-mulch.html

[@joseantoniomoreno2182]

great review.

[@Alisters_Adventures]

Alex, you said in this video the cabin noise level at 50 mph is 70 db and in another video you said the cabin noise level of the Nissan Rogue is 68.5 db. Are all your measurements made on the same road/surface? I can't believe that the Nissan Rogue has a quieter cabin than the NX.

[@AAutoBuyersGuide]

+Guest Yes the measurements were on the same road with the same sound level meter. The Rogue is very quiet for its category.

[@EricPark123]

Do you happen to know the cabin noise on this vehicle?

[@tokekkk]

Is the Hybrid model use CVT transmission?

[@petrilaakso7927]

yes it does

[@angel_machariel]

I don't get the seat symbols. The front seats cannot go down or up?

[@AAutoBuyersGuide]

It does, but you move the front and the rear portions of the seat independently. So there is no switch to raise the whole seat up evenly, you could raise the front, then raise the rear. This is fairly common for modern seats, I haven't seen a seat with a "up" button that raised the whole seat in quite some time.

[@angel_machariel]

Alex on Autos Thank, I'm especially struggling with symbols. Some cars today by the way do not even have the option to move the seat op and down. But it's especially the piture I try to understand. Is there a reference somewhere?

[@ludovicovongraf2100]

The Lexus NX300h is just a Toyota RAV4 Hybrid (both mount the same engines and give same horsepower) but heavier (285 more pounds), with a lower safety scores (at EuroNCAP, at the IIHS and at the NHTSA), less off road capable, with a worse acceleration (one more second than the RAV4 to reach 60 mph) and far more expensive than the RAV4 even with far fewer accesories or extras.

[@jy02250883]

consider NX200t base model, just wanna know can i use 87 regular gas for this turbo engine? or it must be premium 91?

[@leonardomenzeky2622]

+jy02250883 premium for NX200t...nx 300h can use regular because it is a hybrid

[@jy02250883]

Leonardo Menzeky thx

[@lifehackertips]

[@vincenttse311]

it would be more prefect if this lexus had a HUD and infrared night vision view

[@zklucsc]

I honestly think this car is very nice looking and a lot of my friend who love it as more the younger people. My parents doesn't like it and so does some old people. All I have to say is if you like it, great! if you don't, then don't buy. Lexus is doing a great jobs now in term of design! :D Go Lexus! if you are hater of lexus, then don't bother to common lol because there is no point! ;P

[@fkporsche1]

Thanks for your reply. I know you are an expert on these SUV. Even the initial cost of the higher price hybrid system of the vehicle. Would it be more cost effective to get the Lexus hybrid? Any idea of how many miles to break even on the hybrid drive system vs the turbo model?

[@AAutoBuyersGuide]

***** It depends on your driving style, terrain and fuel costs but it can be as low as 5 years.

[@EvanderSmart]

Future best-seller in this class. No other offers quality, style, resale value, performance and fuel efficiency like the Lexus NX. Nobody buys the Lincoln because the brand is almost dead, real 3rd-tier, and the back seat is much smaller than the NX too.

[@ponygt6629]

www.fool.com/investing/general/2014/10/03/ford-motor-company-is-lincoln-killing-the-1-thing.aspx MKC is moving super strong the new MKX will probably raise Lincolns bar much above what it is now, its now a genuine luxury brand, better than any Lexus and Acura by all means and its right on par with current gen Audi Q series

[@EvanderSmart]

Ponygt 662 Sales number say you're wrong. The Lexus RX outsells the MKX 4 to 1. The NX outsells the MKC by 2 to 1. And Motor Trend picked the NX as their #1 luxury compact crossover. www.motortrend.com/roadtests/suvs/1503_the_big_test_2015_luxury_compact_crossovers/

[@ponygt6629]

Evander Smart To each his own, I felt Lexus sporty credentials to b pathetic before the sporty and fast MKC,

[@ronaung1332]

Alex, thanks for the great and comprehensive review! How's your opinion on this type of AWD (where the rear wheels are driven by an electric motor with up to 70 hp) in terms of driving in snow conditions? Will it perform worse than traditional AWD in 200t, again in snow conditions? Thanks!

[@AAutoBuyersGuide]

Ron Aung Performance in snow will be worse than a traditional AWD system but better than no AWD at all.

[@CRVgarage]

It's a better buy compared to Q3/X1. You get a bigger car for similar price.

[@Epitopi]

I am surprised you are so enamored with the Lincoln MKC. Consumer Reports rated it the worst vehicle to buy in its class, in part because of its lethargic handling and substandard fuel consumption. Regarding the NX, I wish Lexus had added the spindle grill of the F-sport to all models. It looks gorgeous and upgrades the aesthetics to the same level as European brands. However, the standard horizontal grill seems to have been removed from a 90s car.

[@AAutoBuyersGuide]

Enamoured is a bit strong, but I do disagree with CR now and then. The MKC is a good value when you compare feature content. It's not as refined on the road ad the XC60, NX or Q5, but it is a decent amount less expensive.

[@tvanb]

The Lincoln MKC is hideous !!! No nearly as bad as the MKT though !

[@zaitcev0]

CR is often wrong. Look at what they publish about Jeep Wrangler, for example.

[@nimab8935]

Absolutely right. Lincoln is not a luxury brand at all.

[@ponygt6629]

Nima Bahrehdar I ve driven MKC and NX and Audi Q5 and the new MKC is better than Lexus n all ways except interior space Also MKC is closer to Audi Q3/Q5 CR is wrong MKC is 1 of best entry luxury CUV in segment, its a must drive if one is looking for a CUV, Lexus felt borin compared to MKC as well

[@alexsu6872]

8:06 The lexus MKC loool

[@teerexness]

This is a strong contender the most hideous front end styling ever used on a vehicle. And since it doesn't get much better while walking around the rest of the vehicle, it's a natural replacement for an aging Pontiac Aztek.

[@hivaladeen4892]

Stop over exaggerating it, have u seen the grill on a Audi, just a massive square hole, some cars don't even have a distinguishable grill

[@teerexness]

HIV Aladeen I took your comment into consideration and gave it a second look. It's even more hideous than I remembered. And the Audi front end styling is the gentlemanly "Doctor Jekyll" to Lexus' ghoulish "Mr Hyde".

[@hivaladeen4892]

teerexness the S sport trim on the lexus nx300h is pretty sexy though, i agree for lexus's high quality the grill on the plain model isnt upping its game agaisnt others

[@mingweili0x]

[@verslaflamme666]

wait even the hybrid model takes non-premium gas??

[@fkporsche1]

Very informative! Thanks. Btw, because it is a hybrid drive, does it use the CVT or regular automatic gear box? I wonder which model is best to purchase, if you are in the market to purchase the NX? Hybrid system or the turbo?

[@AAutoBuyersGuide]

***** Technically it uses neither, it uses a hybrid powersplit system. Some call it an eCVT but that;s not really a good description.Personally, I'd get the hybrid.

[@aronma2765]

8:08 Lexus MKC lol

[@JCWiley2300]

There is no adjective equivalent to "gingerly." It's just "gingerly." As in, "...if you drive it gingerly." Not "use a ginger touch."

[@erikyoo2835]

Alex i live in phoenix, AZ and not sure if i need AWD? I plan to use the 200t or the 300 hybrid as a daily driver and will be driving half city half freeway daily, and will be driving it through the arizona mountains and back roads and road trips occasionally on the weekends.

[@estherkim1892]

I personally think this car is really ugly, enough so that I would not consider getting one. Looking forward to see 2016 Q5 (which I saw it listed on your length comparison chart on this video!)

[@hivaladeen4892]

Not ugly, you just love the over hyped crap that German car makers always come up with, the nx sport is far nicer than Audi Q5, q5 is just plain 4x4 square looking and breaks down alot

Who is the Designer - Batman? is a great DESASTER !!! Too much lines, areas and angles on surface. Side view: the weels are toooo small, its looking like a stork. Look at the perfect proportions on Porsche Macan.

[@mountainhobo]

Can't stand this ghetto front end. Center console also appears unnecessarily expansive. Other than that, looks like a good car. I could use that gas mileage for everyday commute. My Camry is not impressive in that respect.

[@hivaladeen4892]

Ooo sorry, cause your Camry is faaaar superior than the nx

[@mountainhobo]

Moot Noot I see, you can't read. Thanks.

[@hivaladeen4892]

mountainhobo i thought u were another one of those hyundai/kia butthurt people trying to slag of lexus to promote there shitty kia sportage, my bad

[@mountainhobo]

+HIV Aladeen No offense taken, this is the Internet. :) Nah, my brand loyalty is extremely limited. Cars are tools, that's all. I owned a Kia before, was happy, have a Huyndai now (besides my Camry), am less happy. Kia had a stick, good suspension, and was very comfortable. Mechanically it had minor issues but nothing to lose sleep over. Huyndai appears a bit more solid mechanically, but suspension is atrocious, stick only came with base trim which over time is proving difficult to live with (terrible driver's seat), and the overall interior seems cheaper than that old Kia. Oh well, lesson for the future to be less forgiving when evaluating a purchase.

[@hivaladeen4892]

mountainhobo ah right i own a lexus and nothing wrong with it so far, imo japan definately the most reliable car makers

[@KoreanSaram8]

The design is ugly as sin on the Lexus NX 300h. The 2015 Hyundai Santa Fe and 2015 KIA Sorento have more beautiful designs and the interior are just as luxurious as the Lexus. Lexus has failed to differentiate itself from the other Korean/Japanese brands.

[@zklucsc]

UltimateDriver lol Hater gonna hate. Anything you guys like is fine and people have different taste and as long they are happy with what they buy is what matters. I think Lexus design is nice. :P

[@hivaladeen4892]

The huge spindle GRILLE sends the message, that this car - SUCKS AIR like a Monster. In a smog-filled city - it spews out POLLUTION to fill your lungs. Switch to Tesla folks ! Be part of the solution - not the problem.

55nonni interesting

[@davidbennett9198]

Ugly and cheap design by Lexus. Their designs are getting uglier and uglier every year. And it doesn't help that the front designs look identical to Kia's front designs. This is the reason why I will NEVER buy a Lexus. Lexus cars just look cheap and tacky.

David Bennett Disappoint design

[@GuoMao86cn]

David Bennett Lexus designs are so cheap

[@Kokunihon]

David Bennett I live in Japan and here all the rich Japanese people prefer to buy German brands, not Lexus. Yes, even the Japanese think Lexus isn't a real premium brand.

[@NukedJapaneseToyota]

David Bennett Lexus = Toyota = nuked crap.

[@Kokunihon]

Achtung! I agree. Lexus needs to replace their design team..

[@thegr8rambino]

[@yeon723]

thegr8rambino additional information from people who know a lot about cars, and aren't biased toward their own product. (I'm a car salesman)

Looks more sporty but less classy. Starting to look cheap. Smh Lexus
