Lexus NX -- Honest Owner Review

[@BigRockMoto]

What luxury compact SUV is your favorite? Let us know below!

[@bextar6365]

We're super happy with our 2019 and 2020 S-F SEL Models. Like the overall styling, size, comfort, great warranty and 33mpg HWY. Wish you would review one to see for yourself and voice your opinion for others.. And yes I could own a Lexus or basically any other SUV but I'm happy with our S-F models, lotta bang for the buck.

[@bextar6365]

A second SUV thought after watching a video on the all new Hyundai 2022 IONIC all elec. model I might purchase one when they comes out this summer, luv the styling in and out.

[@oldtimer3824]

Latest gen Audi Q5 is great drivers car with 250 hp and DCT, impeccable interior and logical controls/infotainment. Lexus NX interior a big step down.

[@Sophos1964]

@@oldtimer3824, Audi Q5 reliability & durability are a big step down vs. the NX. Audis are good for leasing but terrible to own beyond typical leasing periods.

[@Jiggysaw]

Personally I like the RDX... but if I have to buy I will likely end up with the NX for reliability and longevity.

[@chrismorris614]

Great review of the Lexus NX 200t, only bit of constructive criticism I could offer is when you are interviewing an owner or anyone for that matter, give them time to answer all the questions you are throwing their way. Maybe it’s more of the southerner in me where you do not interrupt others who are talking that was drilled into us as kids?I learned the 80/20 rule where the interviewer talks 20% & the interviewee talks 80% but that’s when you are really wanting for the interviewee to talk. The interviewer really has a lot to say here & I would say he may be better suited to not even bring the owners into the scenario, just to let him talk/educate more on in the given subject?

Got an used 2019 NX300h 48k miles for $26k. Love it! Was thinking about 2021 Venza. People say it’s “Lexus Like” but driving back to back, i would say “Lexus is a Lexus”. Interior is much more quieter and materials are WAY better! IMO.

[@BigRockMoto]

I agree - and thanks for posting

[@TimothyxG]

From a dealership?? Where?? Cheapest I can find for 2019 is mid $30k

[@akhossain]

@@TimothyxG From Vroom. But I got it in March of 2021. Before the price explosion I guess.

[@zureai]

Hope you enjoy it.. NX300h.. good gas mileage, good cargo space, Toyota reliability and AWD.. what's not to like.. and plus I'm pretty sure these models allow for regular fuel instead of premium

[@rob5896]

I guess the X3 is ideal if you change every couple three years but the NX is a keeper.

[@ms.t5500]

Yes! I LOVE my NX300h

[@TOBYH]

The seats are synthetic leather, they feel so good, and long lasting also.

[@rob5896]

My sister bought a GLC I think a 300 with the V6 Diesel, she puts a lot of miles on them so only keeps a car for 3-4 years, this car was well over 100K miles when she sold it and never had an issue.

[@adventuristnw2321]

Great timing! I am looking at a CPO NX300H for my wife. Seems like a great vehicle. Thanks for mentioning the model year changes. Makes a big difference to me to know this.

[@adventuristnw2321]

[@BigRockMoto]

Glad to help!

[@alanh8101]

One of the Best and my Favourite Lines on NX Series and Made in Japan

[@geocape7060]

Agree 100%. Get a Japanese car. Much more reliable then German cars.

[@miguelgonzales8879]

Pros: superb seating, folding rear mirrors. Cons: infotainment control, I'm not tall but I hit my head once in a while while I'm getting into it, I don't like the clock which needs adjusting every 6 months.

[@TOBYH]

We got the upgraded package which included an upgrade for the sound system, what a great option, well worth it. I don't like the looks of the 22, too smooth I like the earlier wedgy origami look of the creases in it. The sound of the engine wouldn't be strained if you drove it in sport mode, it kicks butt. BMW x3 is VERY costly to repair and has no where close to the reliability of a LEXUS.

[@TOBYH]

WE HAVEN A 2016 WITH 6,900 MILES ON IT, WE HAD 5 CARS AT THE TIME AND THIS WAS THE LAST ONE TO GET USED, IT IS JUST A FANTASTIC CAR, WE LOVE IT, WHITE PEARL, LOVE THE COOLED SEATS IN THE SUMMER. It really drives like a sports car, We couldn't be happier In sport mode it is so fast.

[@igorputina7909]

Regarding the CVT, it is important to not that it’s an eCVT which is leaps and bounds more reliable and completely different mechanically from a CVT. It still drives like a CVT, but it’s as reliable as a classical automatic, with very little maintenance.

[@HienTran-ph8bo]

Please explain the diffetence. What is required maintenamce?

[@stoic900]

Why are you interrupting her so much?

[@glennnichols4220]

25 HWY is not that gppd for HWY. I am not sure what speed she drives but 55-65 is your sweet spot for fuel mileage. But truly 55 is it. Most places now 55 is a thing of the past. 65-75 on the freeway is generally the speed limits from where I am from and 5 mph over is 70-80. From 65 to 70 on my 2008 Rav4 I4 is a significant difference which is about a 2mpg hit. If I drove 55 I no doubt could achieve their 27mpg hwy I am sure. But it isn't practical. If I am going 80. That number drops to about 21. So from assumption of 27 mpg at 55 to 24.5 at 65 to about 22.5 at 70 and 21 at 80. That's about a 23% decrease in fuel mileage. In sub zero conditions then my fuel mileage is horrible as can be expected.

[@dr.basilkurian3766]

Thanks for the video and detailed explanation of the pros and cons.

[@MrRichardyc]

can't wait for the 2022 NX350.

[@matt9445]

is your mechanic Scotty Kilmer? hahaha

[@any4003]

Love Scotty I watch him all the time when he's not click baiting lol

[@aussie8114]

You can get Apple CarPlay and android retrofitted to many models, there’s a third party company that also do it. I will be looking at some NX models tomorrow. One's a 2015 but the others are newer up to 2019. I will look at some RX as well but I don’t need a big vehicle.

[@liguobu229]

Surprised at the high road sound level. Or is it the location of the mike?

[@seekfactsnotfiction9056]

_Lexus UX, Lexus NX or Lexus GX460 for power, reliability, comfort, road bumps, while having elderly parents as passengers (only twice or 3times a week) which model would cover all that efficiently? I personally lean towards the GX460!_

[@BigRockMoto]

yes the GX

[@Dannyf35]

IMO if you're going for the GX460 just go all the way with the LX, its a little larger, and more luxurious and the prices of pre-owned do not differ that much.

[@seekfactsnotfiction9056]

@@Dannyf35 I went with the GX but unfortunately my parents can’t ride! Too high for them :(. Have to shop something for them

[@Dannyf35]

@Abdulkadir Muhammad yes, I experienced that same problem also, you can always lower the GX.

[@ryankelly5308]

Exactly what I was looking for. Thank you for the video.

[@IRTEHLEETOKNPBB]

How is the drivers and passengers legs room in lexus? It looks very narrow to spread your legs because the middle panel is very wide and high

[@IRTEHLEETOKNPBB]

I havent tested lexus nh300 but i have a company rav4 new gen and the leg room in there is absolutely terrible.

[@7c8f9x]

IT'S A LITTLE NARROW AS THE CONSOLE IS PRETTY WIDE, BUT WHEN YOU ARE DRIVING IT IS NOT A PROBLEM, OURS IS A 2016 NX 200T, 8 YEARS OLD,,7,400 MILES, MAYBE THE LOWEST MILEAGE OF A 16 IN SOUTHERN CA. WE LOVE OURS, IN SPORT MODE IT HAS LOTS OF OOOOOMPH!, HOPEFULLY THE LAST NEW CAR I WILL PURCHASE.

[@michaelvella8511]

I agree with your opinions. Thx.

[@gimarc613]

Does it drinks premiun or regular?

[@keyshawnrussell245]

Premium

[@7c8f9x]

THEY SUGGEST PREMIUM, YOU CAN USE 89 OCT IF YOU DRIVE MODERATELY, IT WON'T KNOCK, NO 87 OCT. THOUGH.

[@SamHain-o4l]

The NX is someone who likes the RX but doesn’t need the larger engine or body size.

[@any4003]

Just bought a few days ago a 2016 Lexus NX200T 48k miles for roughly $27,967.80 more then what I wanted to pay but it was the only one that was some what we'll priced and it's been great so far except for the display it's not the same OS being displayed in this video I'm seeing. I'm thinking about replacing it with another display more advanced and better quality. It's a little pricey though. So far the car has been good. Haven't had a decent vehicle in YEARS, so it was nice to get something decent and reliable and quality. Can't afford 30K+ for a car so this was the middle ground. The 2018 RAV4 SE AWD are way to crazy priced. This was somewhat well priced all around. As for that BMW X3 what year are you talking?

[@ledanglove]

Hi how your Lexus going as I’m thinking buying the same 2016 model? How is its fuel consumption, is that really bad as I’ve heard so far?

[@any4003]

@@ledanglove So really it depends on where you're located that gas performance will vary. Me I'm located in a rural area so driving places that I need to go are about 36 minutes away or so and there's very few times I would be stopping. So for me gas performance is fairly decent It's not the greatest but it's decent enough. The only downside somewhat is that it has a turbo turbo themselves break down easier so you'll want to avoid that by at least changing your oil every 6,000 miles ( highly recommended). Overall it is a good car.

[@any4003]

Also make sure you learn about the safety features of the 2016 Lexus NX200T and look out for those safety features on the one you find and make sure it's rightfully priced. Also if you're in the United States and you're looking to buy it from a car dealership and you don't know anything about how they operate you should also check out this other KZbinr named Kevin Hunt the homework guy and you can learn a lot from him

[@mrsantosjon]

Just curious. I'm in denver and I always go outdoors, is this able to go offroading in trails???

[@sabio2009]

No. Even with all wheel drive, the ground clearance is too low for off roading. Except for very well maintained dirt & gravel roads.

[@michaellam2622]

Great review! Used lexus are too $$$$$$$ tho

[@BigRockMoto]

Saab is what you really want. LOL

[@glennnichols4220]

That's not true. More than an American car sure. There is a reason.

[@billhesford6098]

I hear endless horror stories from European cars. The Japanese cars just don't break. Normally.

[@newbassplayer4005]

How's the turbo holding up any issues? Thanks

[@BigRockMoto]

it's been fine, 75 k miles

[@erickgomez1798]

If you’re on top of maintenance that engine could last you up to 200k miles easily, clean oil engine is all that matter with that engine due it’s a turbo engine.

[@JoshR-t9j]

Plot twist; her mechanic is Scotty Kilmer lol

[@glennnichols4220]

It is synthetic leather.

[@regmatt]

the only downside i see in this suv is to use premuim gas

[@erickgomez1798]

Because it got a turbo engine, turbo engines always need to use the cleaner and Highest octane fuel

[@glennnichols4220]

I recently bought a 2009 RX and while I like it Lexus and pr Toyota has no congruency on building cabins there is no theme. I also have a 2012 ISF and a 2008 Rav4. When I get into the RX I am still confused on the layout of the dash. It is horrible and the ISF isn't far behind. The Rav4 is simple and makse sense but is just a dumb design.

[@bwest-yq3uc]

Test a Mazda cx-9 and tell us what you think..

yeah or the test a cadillac north star

[@bextar6365]

Exterior looks a lot like the new Venza... I'm very satisfied with my 2020 Hyundai Santa Fe a nice SUV for a lot le$$ . Prob. never purchase another USA brand.

[@lukespack]

Sorry, you don't know what you are missing comparing your Santa Fe to this Lexus NX. The only plus for the Sante Fe is how the front end looks compared to the awful looking Lexus front end.

[@bextar6365]

@@lukespack Like comparing apples to oranges. My point is for several thousands le$$ Santa Fe has a fantastic warranty 5/60 and 10/100,000 S-F may not have all the bells and whistles of Lexus but it drives very fine and has almost all the same safety features standard. Yes you're correct about the homely front styling on Lexus and Toyota vehicles.

[@greenwald007]
