An excellent review with a TON of great commentary not found in other reviews. Thank you, kind sir!

[@MeynMotorGroup]

Hey appreciate you stopping by my friend humbled you found value with the review and happy you enjoyed the commentary. I try to cover what the mainstream reviews don't. Thanks again

[@the92r]

thank you for this review... was thinking of getting it this summer. keep up the great work

[@MeynMotorGroup]

Nice yea I think it's a nice ride but others you may want to consider is like a CPO RX350 or ES 350 sedan

[@r.m.s.605]

I own a 2021 NX 300 premium trim level turbo and I love it! I’ve owned it since January 2021 and its great for me since I don’t have children. I was thinking of maybe upgrading it in the future to the RX350L only for when I go on road trips with others, there’s more room if needed. Other than that I’m very happy with my NX 300.

[@blan3378]

I love your review. I recently bought a 2021 NX base model for my wife. Is a nice looking car, however, I do not like the road noise and how it gives the impression that you move side to side. I have the 2020 Lexus RX 350 and is a different driving experience. The RX is silky smooth..

[@vhf2582]

Good video. Keep up the good work.

Good Video. I own a 2016 NX and it drives well, and has some good tech features. Definitely recommend this vehicle.

[@MeynMotorGroup]

Awesome glad to hear you are still loving the ride yea it def does drive great. Thanks again for stopping by

[@megatronusorionpax4900]

I haven't seen your last video but I'm hoping that you're not gonna quit doing reviews, or if you do stop for now because of the virus that it won't be an indefinite thing. This was an awesome video of course that's nothing new, I was surprised that Lexus went back to their older grill for this car. And the pad for the information system does make sense to me, I don't know if I'd rather have this or a touch screen, keep grinding and thanks for putting out amzing content!

[@MeynMotorGroup]

Oh yea don't worry about that last upload lol I took that down myself before KZbin did because speaking the truth is prohibited of course. But regarding the car reviews I just said that is definitely continuing companies are still issuing press cars and people are going to dealerships for reviews so nothing really has changed in the car review world. I appreciate your support my friend like always

[@megatronusorionpax4900]

@@MeynMotorGroup That's good to hear man, and yeah it's really weird that KZbin is demonetizing and taking down videos that discuss something that effects us so greatly. Always here to support, would you review the Lexus RC-F at some point? But if you did still want to talk about it without getting the video taken down I would try to refrain from actually saying "corona virus" or the word "virus" and stuff, I know I'd probably wouldn't want to at that point because it seems ridiculous to do, but that's what a lot of other KZbinrs are doing

[@MeynMotorGroup]

Yea exactly and I am humbled to have you as a viewer, would def love to get my hands on some F model Lexus car! So hard to come by tho since they are in high demand

What would you buy. A RAV4 (2020) or the Lexus NX300. Love the new RAV4 as built on a new hybrid platform NX still 5 years old. Some annoying things in the NX like the touch pad and infotainment system. Why u need a CD player in this day and age. Is the ride as rocky/bumpy in the RAV4 as it is in the Lexus. Will look at RAV4 excel with panoramic roof against the NX 300 F-Sport version. I. An see them nee RAV4 slightly edging ahead. Would like peoples thoughts to help me decide which to buy.

[@santillbrezon2161]

@@MeynMotorGroup your welcome

[@timcoursey7592]

Thanks for the great review Kevin! I have owned a 2020 NX300h since October of last year. I love it, and I am one of those strange people who actually like CVT. I live in Colorado, so I drive in the mountains a lot. The CVT works very well uphill, downhill, and on the level. Whenever I drive a car with a multi-speed conventional transmission, all that shifting drives me crazy, especially going uphill: upshift/downshift/upshift/downshift endlessly, with constant unintended speed changes. The CVT will maintain speed and smoothly find the right "gear". And I use the paddle-shifters regularly-very pleased with them. I like the brakes. They might seem touchy at first but you really learn to love that response. In 11,000 miles I have averaged 34 mpg. Noise from coarse pavement has worsened over time, probably because the factory tires are junk. Touchpad grows on you, and it sure beats trying to reach for a touchscreen. Ride and handling for me are great. My biggest wish would be a little more power. I had a NX300t as a loaner for 2 weeks and it was also quite good. I do prefer the hybrid since I have driven hybrids since 2005.

[@MeynMotorGroup]

Hey thanks so much for sharing this information especially since you are an owner, I'm sure many viewers will find value in the info you just shared. That is a great point you just mentioned about the CVT on a hill compared to a traditional automatic, didn't even think about it like that. So glad you are enjoying your ownership with the vehicle, it really is a great handling SUV. Take care

I am going for the mine

[@nichopaulu8395]

Interesting note about the road noise. I notice that LS 460s tend to be very quiet. I think that I read somewhere that Lexus, like other luxury car marques, use acoustically insulated tires on their nicer models-but I may have to verify that. Anyway, nice review. I think that CVT is tired.

[@jeffl1484]

It's not the tires but rather within the spokes of the rims. Current triple Lexus owner, Lexus LS, NX and UX.

[@nichopaulu8395]

@@jeffl1484 thank you for your comment! I appreciate the info on this.

[@NMRH258]

You forgot to mention a couple things about the Lexus NX exterior. 1. The front nose design is US-specific to the NX300/NX300h due to pedestrian crash regulations, international models have a more aggressive look even in base form. 2. The F-Sport trim NXs do have that aggressive/sportier front bumper similar to international models.

[@MeynMotorGroup]

I mean I don't jerk off to the car every night I'm not here to break down every little facet you can read that stuff online you can't read and understand how a car behaves and feels that's really all I want to convey in a review

[@stanleylorek4135]

Great Review. I didn't think I would like the 300h but after driving it even in covid times it's a good car. Great mileage and has everything I need. Plus the size is good for what I do. Glad for the Apple Play. I will keep this car because I understand the Main Batteries are lasting a much longer time than anticipated....

[@timtamothy]

I’m pretty sure the cvt inside the hybrid is not a pulley system but rather, a planetary gear like all Toyota hybrid systems. Curious where the rubber banding would come from in this situation.

[@milosza1384]

I own the hybrid version of the pre-facelift NX and I’m glad I didn’t get the turbo four. In Europe petrol is expensive and the turbo version is very thirsty. Also, it doesn’t drive all that great as it only gets an old 6-speed automatic transmission. GS and IS with the same engine are equipped with a much better and quicker 8-speed automatic and that is the option to consider against the hybrid, but not in the case of NX where I really prefer the hybrid version.

[@liam1428]

You compare this to the non-hybrid, but you can't. Hybrid burns regular gas, non-hybrid requires premium gas... and my friend, when you pump premium every single fill up is hardcore... you will get tired of that extra $1 per gallon.

[@JC130676]

For information: the reason Toyota an Lexus don't state the torque of their hybrids is because the electric motors deliver their maximum torque at standstill. They could claim very high torque but since it'll immediately drop off once you start moving, Toyota / Lexus considers it misleading.

[@MeynMotorGroup]

[@cadenbrigstocke6043]

It's actually an electronically controlled cvt, completely different than a traditional cvt. That's the same for all Toyota/Lexus hybrids.

Thanx bro 😎

[@tigerkenshi]

Would you recommend NX300 or NX300h? Is it worth spending extra $ to get hybrid?

[@MeynMotorGroup]

No get the regular but RX is still better

[@tigerkenshi]

This is for my mom and she feels RX is too big for her. XD

[@MeynMotorGroup]

Oh gotcha yea regular NX would better besides some may find the hybrid experience strange or unnatural

[@mas2499]

I leased a Nxh300 , executive package 2020 in Feb. 2020 It’s a compact SUV , i like it , to be honest back trunk is small , this is not a proper car for family with 2 kids. The reason i leased this SUV among another compact SUV’s was its low interest !! 1.4%

[@MeynMotorGroup]

Nice!

[@gccakes]

How much is the lease if you don't mind?

[@Meetoon733]

Everytime I drive a car that you reviewed all your observations are on point man! This thing feels really bad on rough pavement, and I also had the weird BT pairing issue. One thing that surprised me is the hybrid system feels very abrupt when it turns the engine on. My gf used to have a saturn vue hybrid and even that thing felt smoother transitioning from on/off, that would bother the hell out of me if I owned one of these Also it could just be my body type, but I could find a comfy seating position without the wheel feeling like it's too far away. That's probably more of a me thing since I'm short but drive in a tall person seating position 😂

[@MeynMotorGroup]

Yea my friend was not a fan of this at all Lexus knows how to do better, we see it with the ES 300h but you would think they would give an SUV that same level of attention considering it's a hot seller. Yea I don't recall the seat settings but yea when you don't feel comfortable or can't get adjusted in a seat it's not a vehicle worth looking into

[@Meetoon733]

@@MeynMotorGroup just noticed the thumbs down ratio on this one. Is this because you dared to speak out on the cons of a lexus vehicle? 😂

[@MeynMotorGroup]

Yea if you wanna see some spicy thumbs down ratios just watch some of my Ford vids. People don't watch reviews to honestly be educated, they watch expecting to see commercials and they despise hearing the cons. Only people who appreciate hearing this stuff is people in the buying market. Idk Idc I'm gonna say what I want idk how to make everyone happy

[@liam1428]

I agree about the transition between gas/electric mode. that being said, I'm extraordinarily hard on my vehicles and this Lexus has always nailed it. You compare this to the non-hybrid, but you can't. Hybrid burns regular gas, non-hybrid requires premium gas... and my friend, when you pump premium every single fill up is hardcore... you will get tired of that extra $1 per gallon.
