Massive Improvement! | 2022 Lexus NX 450h+ Quick Look & Drive

[@PrimeAutotainment]

Thanks for watching! *I apologize about the test drive - my stabilization was turned off without realizing it so it's shakier than usual!* I'll hopefully get the new NX for an extended review and night review later on! Check out this RAV4 prime in the meantime: kzbin.info/www/bejne/gmWtknmEZb6gprs

[@kobbycrentsil2859]

Patiently awaiting your night review I'm eager to see how it looks at night

[@PrimeAutotainment]

Hopefully I can get one soon!

[@dehClaudiax3ilu]

Same here, I like this quick look, it has more info than I’ve seen on other videos

[@chuckkerber4735]

Gorgeous car! I have a 2011 450H that still runs perfectly, and am impatiently waiting the RX Re-design so I can trade mine in! Great review!

[@billyrock8305]

Excellent review. Not lengthy and verbose. ✅ Make sure to deep dive on government EV rebates, some $15,000 which drops the price considerably.

[@abelievnguy]

Thank you for the review. How much noisier was the road noise in the NX versus the Rav4 Prime? And which one was more comfortable driving?

[@Jerald2251]

The new NX is a huge step up from the last generation in my opinion

[@PrimeAutotainment]

I agree!

[@dtan9586]

Awesome ！ As a men ， That will be perfect car for me if it same Roomy with Rav4

Nice review. You might comment on turning radius in the cars. It’s key to parking ease and for most folks parking is a an increasingly hard thing (more cars, aging).

[@amandajenee]

I can't wait!

[@modriss1070]

Nolan we're waiting for the Tundra. Keep it up dude 🤝🏾

[@PrimeAutotainment]

Thanks man! The Tundra was at this even and I was set to get it, but the very first people that took it off roading ripped the front bumper off and toyota wouldn’t let me take any video of it! They had another one there and it was gone basically the whole time I was there. Hopefully I can get one soon!

[@LeoTheShortGuy]

So awesome!!!!

Sadly, the panoramic sunroof or 17-speaker Mark Levinson option are not available with the plug-in hybrid.

[@conniekai]

very nice

[@p.5987]

For a 50k something car, I can’t get over how much piano black plastic and plastic in general they used. Especially that god awful dash - just a hunk of plastic. Really cheapens an otherwise good looking SUV.

[@william6765]

What material would you put in instead?

[@donaldbanner2185]

I have the " Piano Black " considered going Carbon Fiber....HOWEVER the "Piano Black" NEGATIVE in your inane opinion is in Truth VERY nice clean and sophisticated in appearance especially with the DEEP Red & Black "F" Sport seats.

Can you put it in manual shift mode? So that you can shift from the stick instead of the paddles. My 2016 nx had that feature that I loved.

"...This new take on the NX is arguably the best compact SUV Lexus has ever built, but unless you're tied to the Lexus badge, there are better options in its segment. Sure, it's the only non-plug-in hybrid in the class (ignoring mild hybrids, that is), but if you really want to reduce your environmental impact, either buy an EV or go for a more impressive non-hybrid SUV and eat a little less beef.Despite its off-road prowess, we found the NX350h's overall ride and handling somewhat less impressive. Dynamically, the NX defaults to understeer (as most similar crossovers do and probably should) with reasonable grip, but it doesn't deliver the type of engaging driving experience the Jaguar F-Paces and Genesis GV70s of the segment do. From an overall ride quality perspective, the NX350h's suspension will easily reach its bumpstops through larger bumps and struggles to settle down over stretches of uneven pavement. The cabin is proper luxury-SUV quiet, but the rest of the experience fails to live up to that standard...." Motor Trend

[@donaldbanner2185]

............................... Sir: DRIVE the 450h+ "F" SPORT!!!.... Far and away is more engaging than the Euro beemer X3 x5 & and you have choices to NEVER buy gas like me.

The nx interior gives me Camry vibes

[@naveenthemachine]

The way the screen is setup and how the right side of the screen kind of curves down towards the shifter.

[@barneysman9116]

Can I turn off the TV screen while driving?

[@gamelauncher9821]

Your audio seems to be cutting in and out I thought something was wrong with my earbuds 😐

[@PrimeAutotainment]

Yes you’re right. I’m sorry about that. I had an issue with this in the past, figured out the problem, and the whole time I was at this event with several vehicles it seemed to be a problem again. My apologies

[@gamelauncher9821]

@@PrimeAutotainment it’s fine at least I pointed it out

[@joehammond2586]

The interior is not my fave, the rest of it is stellar (IMO).

[@PrimeAutotainment]

The interior got a lot of mixed feelings from other people here too!

[@naveenthemachine]

Yeah. I knew the nx would be an utter disappointment before anyones even driven it I got roasted by everyone in KZbin for saying that with comments like “genesis won’t end Lexus. This will crush its competitors” or “you’re here bashing on Toyota and Lexus yet your dream car is a Toyota Camry?” Jokes on them for the second comment. My Camry v6 XSE outclasses the new nx in every way while offering a silky smooth v6 and arguably a nicer red interior

[@petergazarek9466]

😎👍ABSOLUTE TOP

[@gianniclaud]

Man that's a disappointing interior, that dash looks so bland compared to last gen. Also sad how much noisier it is. That said, the exterior is definitely sleek and contemporary. But that interior could use some work... so sad they went with piano black finish on center console.

[@eleanormassaro5195]

More noise because of run flat tires!

[@naveenthemachine]

Yeah the interior feels cheap My Camry v6 XSE red interior feels nicer than this and it has a v6 that’s smoother quieter, more isolated, sounds better, and it’s faster. My Camry is much quieter than this lol

[@TheBjjones]

@@naveenthemachine Sorry, but the Lexus NX450h is much faster than the the Camry V6 XSE! *LOL*

[@naveenthemachine]

@@TheBjjones 0.2 seconds. That’s the difference I’ve seen reviews of the XSE v6 getting 5.6-5.7 seconds. The nx450h+ got 5.5. So Barely faster

[@TheBjjones]

@@naveenthemachine So not only is the NX450h "faster", than the Camry XSE V6, the NX450h also has standard AWD (no AWD available for Camry V6 models) plus it gets better gas mileage as well.

[@rob5896]

What is the point of a plug in hybrid? I cant see how that helps the environment plus I guess it costs money to charge it up, so this uses gas and nuclear/coal, I get the principle of a hybrid but maybe I'm missing something here???

[@theone4042]

Yeah you’re missing a lot

[@edawg792]

Fewer carbon emissions and less reliance on oil. Combustion will always need oil, electricity won’t.

[@rob5896]

@@edawg792 Sure I get that but its not that simple, it feels like to solve one problem we create another? I did some research and hybrids and electric cars come with a whole other load of environmental issues particularly in the manufacture and materials used and working conditions etc, its not so green as people think it is, also I'm not keen on the idea of all of these batteries left over at the end of life not to mention nuclear waste and coal being burned which will go through the roof in the next few years how do we deal with that problem I wonder? Its all moving so fast that it seems like nobody is asking these important questions but like everything they will do when we have another huge ecological problem on our hands for our kids to deal with...

[@edawg792]

@@rob5896 Battery technology and manufacturing can and is improving, but combustion will always require oil. Moving away from technologies that require oil is the only option humanity has long-term. Even right now in the early stages of EVs, they are far better for the environment than the continued extraction, refinement, and combustion of oil, and all the CO2 emissions.

Genesis GV70 instead please.

[@naveenthemachine]

Yeah that’s what I would do. The gv70 has essentially ended the new nx That’s what I predicted months ago before anyones even driven it and sure enough I was right

[@MercOne]

@@naveenthemachine It hasn't ended the NX man lol. Lexus is about to sell those NXs like never before. In appeal yeah the GV kills it, but "ending" the NX is hyperbolic nonsense.

[@naveenthemachine]

@@MercOne if the gv70 destroys the nx in every regard what’s compelling about the nx? It’s expensive starting and top end Platform is literally a rav4. The 2.4T turbo is very lackluster and the interior leaves a lot to be desired for a Lexus. A venza is more luxurious than the nx and it’s cheaper… even my 2020 Camry XSE v6 interior is nicer and it has a silky smooth v6…

[@MercOne]

@@naveenthemachine Are you just not understanding what I said? I agree that the GV is the better vehicle, but it isn't "ending" the NX's presence on the market. Do you not get what I'm saying? The crowd that buys the Lexus are bowled over by the new NX. It isn't "ending" the NX no matter how good the GV70 is. Lexus has an almost like zombie following for their SUVs.
