3 WORST And 8 BEST Things About the 2024 Lexus NX 350h

[@LSDOGWALKER]

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.

[@dwnshft]

[@apopisso6302]

BMW, the driver’s car,until it stops.

[@JTKels]

A lot of comparison to BMW Mercedes not once was mentioned Lexus has 110% reliability, especially to Mercedes and BMW!

[@jordandixon125]

And resale value! 😅

[@v60polestar88]

Your right it shouldn't be compared to a BMW or Mercedes. Those 2 are way more luxurious than this thing. The interior of the NX is no better than KIA or Hyundia. Reliability is its only strong point.

[@RonRacer100]

Good review, Not alot of reviewers out there know that this brand stands for efficiency and reliability and not for going fast. Escpecially reliability. Not alot of people know this but german brands after 100.000 miles they will cost you. Toyota and Lexus they will keep going and don't break down.

[@dwnshft]

[@fernandoavila1410]

I love the new light bar styling in the rear

[@dwnshft]

Very clean look 😎

[@MrOktsx]

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.

[@KajolKhan-qj5ne]

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.

[@jsc5590]

I’ve had mine for 6 months and feel the exact same…great tech, fit/finish, quiet, and the MPG is incredible! So glad that I bought one, am looking forward to some wonderful trips with this vehicle!

[@UnseenSpirit]

If I could afford a new one, I'd buy it. I don't want to pay for finance with interest due to religious reasons

[@KajolKhan-qj5ne]

@@UnseenSpirit i heard in some countries if you could pay half the price the other half is given as a credit with almost no gain from the bank

[@UnseenSpirit]

@@KajolKhan-qj5ne I looked already. Unfortunately because Toyota/Lexus do well in the UK, they don't do anything like that here. I was thinking of a Tesla when they had 0 percent finance on the out going Model 3 but after research, I don't think an EV is right for me. I'm looking at Lexus IS 300H from 2014-17 or so which I can afford to buy outright but would love the NX haha.

[@cristisun184]

a very well thought car. comfortable, reliable, well put together good for most of the driving conditions but not super sporty.NX behave like a suv should but there is the IS, LC or LFA for a more sporty ride.

[@WokeisaJoke0522]

One reviewer said he can’t tell the difference between sport mode and other modes. I own this exact car: trust me, there’s a difference. Sport mode is truly quicker

[@MohsinKhan-nn6xu]

Dude are you kidding me I got one in October last year best vehicle I ever owned I love my NX 350h

[@davidkirk7527]

Just had my 350 h for 2 years Had 30 cars the years best car ever you are spot on😎🏁

[@berniekitts1786]

The NX350h can use Regular octane. That can save $1.00 per gallon. The Proactive driving assist is stress relief. Don't drive it in ECO! You're already saving gas so just use Normal or Sport if you wish.

[@dj3114]

In my Rav4 hybrid, I drive in Normal in town which gets to speed faster so you can "pulse and glide". On the highway, ECO and have never used Sport. Been thinking about trading and just writing the check for one of these NXs. Probably be my last car, so going to get what I want.

[@sunnychoe8134]

Currently i drove 2018 es350. I been looking for small suv,and this video was so helpful. This is what i was looking for Comfy,luxury and not sporty. Thank you 😊

[@jimmannella2291]

Love this plain, objective review. I’ve always wanted to purchase a Lexus/Toyota SUV for their reliability alone but I also have a heavy foot and appreciate sportier SUV’s of which this NX (and the other variants) is not. Nothing from Lexus’ line up has caught my eye and pocket yet. Being older, I might have to recalibrate my automotive goals 😂. Subscribed!

[@dwnshft]

Glad the video was helpful!

[@stapleboss]

Same - I'm fruitlessly looking for something with Lexus reliability, Audi interior/exterior and BMW powertrain. I don't think it exists.

[@Msjuju20131]

This is exactly what I want.

[@billyrock8305]

1) Run flat tires 👎🏼 2) Terrible shifter 👎🏼 3) Small interior 👎🏼 Seriously comparing this to a BMW or Mercedes is a joke. Lexus buyers want quality, reliable and quiet. Honda CRV Hyrbid the best and more accurate comparison. 🤓 Solid review and duration ✅

[@WokeisaJoke0522]

I have this car. I got rid of the run flat, shifter is not an issue, and while the interior is a little tight, it suits me and my small family well. Get an RX, if you need the space? It s a great car. My wife has a Venza and we love our Toyotas!

[@Tommy-Eagle-USA]

This car will last 300k easily. Super gas requirement sucks, removal of physical buttons and the tiny volume knob in the middle of the screen when it should be on the left side is weird. I also hate the electric door handles, I want a traditional door handles.

[@WokeisaJoke0522]

The high octane is only recommended! I own this exact car. I run it on 87 octane all the time and it’s fine. Once you get use to the electric door handles( which also can operate traditionally), you’ll love them

[@violamaestas5009]

Ugh. Just now seeing others saying it can use regular octane!!!! My salesperson told me to use premium!!!! If I drive it close to empty, can I switch to regular with no problems? WHY was i told to use premium!!??!!

[@jayteesgear]

Good job! I went looking at IS’ today but couldnt take my eye off THESE!

[@MikeWiggins1235711]

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!

[@olivialivingston5303]

I currently have the GLB 250, and it definitely has wayy more rear space which is what I love about it. But looking to eventually change my car and been researching different cars, not sure which to go for

[@kubanskiloewe]

a lot of BMW and Merc blablabla. My Lexus Hybrid does have no over 315000km with the first battery and it stil runs great and quiet. I´d never look back to our so called premium shit ;-)

[@markbradl8651]

If you are looking for sporty, don’t buy an suv or cuv. We have the 350h premium and it is great for what I want and need it for.

[@robertlawrence4643]

AS an owner of a Lexus 2024 350H, the worst thing for me is that the Mark Levinson system drops the bass or blows out above the 52 volume setting, what a piece of crap for the money, Dealership promised a new amp, but has yet to fix after 7 months

[@williampleasant9563]

I have one and I love it!!

[@loseerich493]

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.

[@WokeisaJoke0522]

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.

[@timmitchell3353]

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.

[@berniekitts1786]

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.

[@aussie8114]

It’s certainly very clean.

All screens have a refresh rate so they can change images. They flicker if you video them but persistence of vision smooths them out, that's how movies work.

[@karankenZ]

Is the car floaty and comfortable to drive? I am looking for a hybrid SUV that feels less of the road. Tired of the potholes around me. Just want a car that can go over small dents in the road and absorb them in suspension. Does NX350H have better suspension than Rav4 hybrid?
