@chasing cars Could you please review the new 2022 BMW X3 30i M? Thanks

[@analysethis6061]

Tom, I really like the Lexus NX 350. Wish this car came in Sports Luxury. Based on the specifications, would it be correct to say the service cost over a period of 5 years will vary between all the models after taking into consideration engine, drive train and functionality? Will the service costs between these variants be similar or costlier over a period of five years?

[@protomatala180]

which is more comfortable ? lexus IS awd or this one ?

[@analysethis6061]

[@hybridrav4life508]

Great review Tom, as usual. I completely agree about the AWD hybrid at 18:55 with the boost from the rear. With the traction view on the centre display you can see the rear motor engaged every time you move away from a stop. Certainly that’s my experience. Interesting that the Lexus has a handy power boost over the RAV. It would be great to have that extra sound deadening in the RAV.

[@nickgruzevskis8629]

Head and shoulders better than all other reviews taken at same venue. Tom, love your approach in terms of explaining the variants and which may suit particular buyers. For me the Mark Levinson audio and cooled seats are mandatory. Hard to pick between NX350 F-Sport (with EP2) and NX350H AWD F-Sport (with EP2), as only a couple of hundred dollars separates them

What a fantastic review, Tom! Spot on as always. The Lexus 350h 2WD Sports Luxury is a superb vehicle and lets be honest, Lexus has done its home work with regards to car exterior and interior. Compared to the other rivals, I expect at a price of $83,398 DA, the sports luxury is fantastic value for money. I am completely sold on the new Lexus NX. What a beautiful car and with a Lexus, there is always peace of mind and reliabilty is certain. Tom, how about a comparison between NX350H and GV70 both top SPECS?

[@kuldipsingh366]

[@neilhoradagoda9148]

Great review. Not having seen your review, I went on to buy a NX250 with a little push from my son who wanted me to buy a luxury car have come to the end of my working career, but found it needs extra rev to keep going as you mention. Fully concur with your comment. I had moved for VW Golf with a turbo engine to this (NX 250) and certainly noted the difference. As you said the NX350h seem the best having done a test drive. Now having already bought the NX250 , I went on to book the 350h, 2WD with trade in of the NX250 which I must say is a great car and it is one you get used to after a few thousand Km. The AWD was too pricey for me. Thanks again for great review on the NX. Will add my comments after I get my NX350h, 2WD!

[@upclosevideo]

Ashy you just covered the seat question, sorry forget previous comment. Lovely review btw 👌

[@yjs]

Great work Tom! Why still no 40/20/40 split rear seats, and that cheap arse rear centre armrest? My 2006 RX350 has 40/20/40 split and an awesome rear armrest with a storage compartment. Kids love it!

[@robbertdewal68]

Great review Tom. Was wondering if it would be possible for someone to do a review on the 2022 Honda Accord 2.0l Hybrid, as an alternative to a Suv Hybrid? If Honda's Hybrid system is as good as Toyota's? Is the 2.0l hybrid worth the extra spend? Thanks

[@jasong9319]

Tom, great review as always. I test drove the 350h front wheel drive F Sport & the wife & I loved it. Considering the AWD for the extra 5K. What I would like to mention & maybe for you to include in the cost of ownership is the tyres especially the 235/50R/20 alenza’s. I have enquired with Bridgestone & other tyre suppliers & this tyre to date has not been released in Australia as yet. The only tyre that suits is the Pirelli P Zero at $594/tyre. Being RFT getting a puncture this of course needs to be replaced & cannot be repaired so I thought I needed to look into this further as a cost to consider. Thanks again for your reviews as I find them always informative & engaging 👌

[@johanroggeveen7188]

I think Lexus have nailed the design of the nx....It looks great both inside and out. Unfortunately in NZ the nz350h starts from 92k.....if you want a luxury version its north of 100k. I wonder if a topspec rav4 hybrid for 52k and a couple of thousand dollars spent on retrofitting insulation would be a good idea? oh and a delivery wait time of 1 to 2 years lol

[@yashduggal918]

The prices showed in this video doesn’t include the on-road cost so just add another $10k on top of it. It’s price has jumped up significantly for Australia too.

[@BanannaMonkeys]

Thanks for addressing real world questions and a very good review. Looking forward to the 450h+ review. It may make or break my current order 😳. Though I also have a XC60 Recharge on order so, it will be one or the other. The head says buy the Lexus (Service, reliability etc..) the heart says buy the Volvo ( Design, power, Air Suspension etc..). What would you buy Tom?

[@BanannaMonkeys]

@chasing cars . To follow up - I drove the 450h+ and it just didn’t feel cohesive or special for the price. Part of this is the psychology of paying for the highest price vehicle but getting the lowest spec sound system and small sun/moon roof. As an ex Lexus owner they are great and the service is second to none, but IMHO the package just isn’t worth the cash. I have decided to buy the XC60 as it’s a better overall proposition. FYI - I am in Australia and thanks for the great reviews.

[@dimekoza]

Regarding the interior space, I haven't sat in the NX yet, but I have read on social networks that the space is lacking for really tall people in the front seats. Me being 195cm (6'5'') tall, I'm interested in whether it's true, do you have a really tall person that have tried the seating in the new NX?

[@seikocitizenwatches]

I love Lexus, all of them but LFA remains my favorite exotic sports car. LX600 is the one I want for my daily drive.

[@xfirstxlast6502]

Great review! From USA, your review is just more detailed, insightful and not just to see if it can spins the wheels or how fast from 0-60 MPH. Luckily the models options are similar. Put a deposit down on a 350h Luxury for exactly your reason. Passed on the 450h+ and the 350t because of low MPG. I will be very interested in your review on it. And if I understood correctly, I have the same problem in USA, one can not get the smaller18in wheels with higher trims and options like ML sound, 3 beam headlights, etc.

[@donaldbanner2185]

*~*~*~ Do your Homework before ignorant comments!....~*~*~* " Passed on the 450h+ and the 350t because of low MPG"... I own a 450h+ F Sport, and the rating is 89 miles per gal in Hybrid mode...and uses 87 octane regular gas, .......HOWEVER....I have only used 2 .5 Gal of gas on my more than 2800 miles because back and forth to work is 11 miles each way & I simply plug in the car to 120 V home outlet..........Virtually No Gas used and accordingly VERY quiet / almost silent noise in cabin combined with Very Quick acceleration via electric Only / torque and Quick! ..............Can only get this model in California and Re-Sale Value is through the roof If you can even find one and you must be a California resident to buy the 450h+ Plug in model.

[@davidshaw6884]

I presume you passed on the 450h+ due to low MPG when the HV battery is depleted? Yes that would be a concern because the ICE is then lugging around the extra weight. It’s ideal for regular short commutes however. If you often drive longer distances, the 350h would be better overall IMO too.

[@bansikpattni]

Thorough and articulate review as usual. Can I ask you, Tom, having driven both the 350H and 450H+, do you feel the 350H is better value for money (all things considered). Many thanks

[@rxonmymind8362]

Absolutely. For the price of $67k F sport top of the line NX might as well hop over to the 350/450 of your choice. Unless you don't mind having a smaller SUV. But resale value the 350/450 would come back at you better. Pro tip. Keep ALL repair paperwork and repair receipt for the vehicle. A paper trail. Resale value is better by $2k at least. Worth it.

[@wristcandy5451]

Great review as usual

[@Hazza188]

I have driven the 350 FSport (petrol). Very capable handling, took bumps well and didn't feel like a boat when push through corners. Brake feel was solid no fade issues. I'd like to see how the non FSport without adaptive dampers would drives like. Also the FSport has run flat tyres which seem odd, as this tyre is heavier than standard. Also the cooling seats fan has a whiny noise, it's not major but definitely noticeable. When idle you can hear it and it's right behind/below your ears...

[@rxonmymind8362]

Thanks something to listen too. But for $67k that's not working for my budget. Lol.

[@daweigo6851]

The entire range has the run flat tyres unfortunately

[@james0321]

Thanks for the great review. After a lot of research, I had settled on the NX 350H. Unfortunately, Lexus Australia now has a 2 year wait for new NX orders. The dealership I spoke to in Sydney said 2021 orders were still not fulfilled. Poor form by Lexus.

Great review Tom, been hanging out for this since your post dinner walk around last year. Have a 450h on order so keen for Friday's video. Are you able to demo the digital rearview mirror and what the buttons underneath are? In us models they are garage door openers so wondering if they kept them for Aus model. Hoping the wireless aa will only be a short wait for an OTA update. Also been waiting for budget direct to add this to their insurance coverage on the webpage so can get a decent quote.

[@ln5747]

They can update the system to wireless Carplay/aa on the 450h? Just got a new 450h few weeks ago and it's wired. I asked the dealer at the time and he said it may come as an update but I took that as marketing nonsense. Surely it would need an inbuilt transceiver or whatever. I was going to look for an adapter or something. Would be great if they had possibility of updating as it's the only thing I feel I don't have, otherwise amazing vehicle.

Apparently there was a minor refresh just after I ordered and I got the first of those, forgot to ask the dealer what was updated. I was hoping wireless Carplay but I actually haven't used it yet and assumed it was still not wireless. Would be great if it arrives and its not a matter of waiting a few years to get the next gen. Everyone complains about the infotainment but to me it's perfectly fine, perhaps a little clunky. I actually think the current RX infotainment looks classier than the new NX, I like the traditional buttons etc and the large screen on NX looks a bit cheap to me.

Admittedly a little late to the party but quoted a 2 year wait today at a Lexus dealership in Melbourne… 😮😮😮

[@a2.Milk85]

Another solid review, thanks Tom. I just ordered my 350H AWD last week however there is quite a lengthy wait time (I was told 5-6 months by the dealer). I understand Lexus provides 10 years on their batteries. Is it true those batteries will need to be replaced every 4-5 yrs? and this could cost a fortune? I’m planning on holding onto my NX for around 4 yrs. Give or take I initially had my eyes on the NX350. However. it is a pity they only come in the F-Sports which is roughly $10k above the luxury trim. I have found the hybrid (in AWD) to be responsive and agile enough during my test drive. I’ve taken it for a good spin on the highways as well as the suburban roads. As this will be my first hybrid, I’m really hoping I have made the right move transitioning into the hybrid land. I mainly do highway driving so I might not see that level of fuel efficiency when compared with city driving and the endless start and stop traffic during peak hour. I’m saying that, I’m really looking forward to see how the hybrids performs in the country roads (where I’m based) Thanks again for the great review Tom!

The wait time for an NX is now 20-24 months according to my local Dealer

[@96libertytt]

3000 was a third of overall Lexus sales for 2021? I'm surprised as 10k isn't really much. I thought Lexus would have sold more than that. Apparently not.

[@samcarter5576]

If you had a choice out of this or the XC60 which would you go for?

[@kuldipsingh366]

I think it is a hard choice, both fantastic cars, XC60 is getting a bit outdated now, it needs a major facelift.

[@waynedoherty5221]

Thank you for a very good review. But why would anyone who lives out of a large city buy a car that does not have some type of spare tire. When I was watching your presentation I thought this car may be our next second car. But, no spare no buy. A simple flat in a country area can turn into a nightmare I don't want.

[@MegaPixie666]

@david kelly The 20's are run flats,keep driving an buy a new tyre. The only problem will be finding a tyre that fits availability.

[@fale892]

It seems some manufacturers are sh****ng on the Australian market with some of these missing features at stupid prices, yet they are available in overseas markets

[@irishman4671]

I've been seriously looking at this car and here they start at 39k and to out low 50s.

[@boranars79]

Great car.❤

[@ckdineshck]

I am considering the new NX and ventilated seats are non-negotiable 😆 Finally Lexus has done all the right things in the interior. But in NZ we get only NX 350h upwards starting from 92,700+ Just starting to research what else is out there for that money.

[@donaldbanner2185]

An unreliable Beeeeeeeeemer is even more money and re-Sale plummets

[@richieduck67]

Have been chasing this

[@gjmob]

I'm waiting for their review of the Toyota Chaser

[@bneyarb5037]

This is such a different take to Carsguide. They said it was similarly loud to the rav, raucous engine, stiff. I’m very torn. I suppose the only solution is to plod off to a test drive.

[@chasingcars]

It is possible their journalist drove different specifications. I spent most of my time in the adaptively-damped F Sport seen here, and the chunky-tyred Luxury, both of which were not ‘stiff’. Possibly unlike their journo I’ve also lived with a RAV4 hybrid for 6 months so I’m pretty acquainted with how noisy that car is.

[@Hazza188]

I've driven the RAV4 hybrid and NX350H hybrid. NX is far quieter than the RAV4.

[@btpp12]

I think 350h is the pick of the range . PHEV 450 + not going to be as fun to drive due to it’s extra weight . I personally think you should go hybrid or full electric .. Phev is bit of a gimmick

[@normt430]

The Lexus NX competes in the Compact Premium SUV segment. According to data collected from verified new-vehicle buyers for the J.D. Power 2021 Automotive Performance, Execution and Layout (APEAL) Study, 59 percent of new Lexus NX buyers are female (vs. 47 percent for the segment), and the median age of an NX buyer is 61 years (vs. 60).

[@baskaboo]

How does it compare to Genesis GV70 ?

[@traderstevo9553]

Good question - I’d like to know as well

[@abk1424]

No wireless apple carplay?? Who are they kidding lol

[@upclosevideo]

Don know if I am correct or not but I thought the interior was NOT LEATHER, instea it is a man made product that emulates leather. Have I dreamed it ?

[@saintza]

Boot space segment needed an actual view of the boot space, IMO :) Good review otherwise!

[@martingifford5415]

I care about height and entry/exit. SUVs are increasingly lowering the roof level for the sake of fuel efficiency, so it starts to feel more like a station wagon than an SUV, which defeats the purpose. I like the NX but it looks like you have to squeeze yourself through the doorway to get in and out of it.

[@davidperry3531]

A good review as always but there are quite a number of options available within each model and purchasers will have to do their homework. You talk a lot about comfort but does it handle like a X3 which has both comfort and handling? It has been reported that the engines, particularly the base 250, are coarse and unrefined. It appears that Lexus still have a long way to go to match the performance, economy and engineering of the Europeans. To not have wireless Apple Car Play after all these years is a definite negative. Steeply rising prices (not the only manufacturer) is going to test the resolve of many potential buyers.

[@donaldbanner2185]

Hmmmmmmmm? X3 Beeeeeeemer........" X3 which has both comfort and handling " X3 may have a slight edge in being a bit quicker,,,,however it has to be quick to get you to the shop for repairs and home again repeatedly...These are SUV's not Ferrari's..........450h+ is Plenty quick with Elec and engine believe me

[@ghhthh9131]

Fuel consumption??

[@chasingcars]

Included in the running section of this video.

[@Ianmundo]

Shame Lexus is so intertwined with Toyota because Lexus should really have a compelling full EV by now, where I live (Iceland) even Hybrids don’t make sense, EV all the way

[@gjmob]

Australia is 75 times bigger than Iceland, so 85km of electric is a waste of time for most people.

[@PanaosSi-pc9uw]

Gutes auto . Ich gefält mir

[@AkiffHssn]

Wishlist

[@GlowingTube]

Looks good and a far better ownership proposition than the Europeans. It’s getting pricey but it should last.

[@leighpeel9563]

Wo wo wo. Stop right there! Please put back the original intro music. That new piece is absolutely #$&*. Come on Tom!

[@aerohk]

Is the NX considered a "soccer mom" car?

[@10tenman10]

I don't think 20" wheels are necessary for this type of car.
