As an American I just absolutely love Canada. I'm so happy that we have such a wonderful country to our north. I'm very appreciative that you pay a lot of attention to the specs of cars for both the US and Canada. I'm a music enthusiast and I as an American appreciate all the contributions that Canada has given us over the decades. Gordon Lightfoot,Anne Murray and Neil Young are just a few examples.

My NX has been nothing but a pure delight (like this channel 😁) and after 30,000 miles, it's still doing extremely well. However... I don't like the slight hesitation i get pressing the gas pedal after leaving a red light. Causes a jerk on take off. Happens in every mode, i don't understand why. Other than that, I'm really loving it. Mark Levinson sound system is superb!! And the seats are one of the best. Touch screen is phenomenal but can be overwhelming at times. Voice control and HUD keeps that issue at bay. I bought a interior protection kit for the gloss black. Highly recommend, easy installation. Great video of a great vehicle!! 🎉🎉

I have the 2025 NX 350h, with the palomino interior. Loving it! Mine is the premium version not the luxury, so missing the 360 camera which is the only feature I miss. It’s a pollen/dust magnet but the car is so smooth. Getting 41-42 mpg.

I love the colors. My neighbor has a bright red one, that looks good too

[@jeffer1101]

My neighbour bought one of these in F-Sport trim (a nice red one) and they love it. They only had to wait about 3 months for it, which (at the time) was quite a bit less than most other options. Regarding the buttons vs screens debate, I prefer buttons as well. That said, in many modern cars with automatic features, I don't use them that often. For example, my temp is set at 22.5C and stays there year round, so it's not like I'm constantly adjusting it.

[@jayshahu]

Love the fact that Toyota provides physical buttons. It is intuitive and easier to change when on a busy city road. Hate those touch screens which are finicky especially then it is -10 and you are wearing gloves.

[@jam5359]

Nice video! Could you do a small off road test?

[@brentpodshow]

I agree about having to put premium fuel in the NX since it is the same engine in the Toyota. I recently purchased a RX 350h and I asked the same question about premium fuel and was told by a Lexus mechanic the engines are tuned different. The crazy thing about the RX is it has a 17 gallon tank but when it says it has five miles or less until empty it only takes 13 gallons to fill up. I assume all Lexus have the same reserve amount. Great video as always.t

[@gosman949]

so, do you continue to use premium fuel? Many on the hybrid is going with the regular unleaded since the engine is naturally aspirated.

[@xzimxzim]

I had a Camry hybrid and could maybe get 12 gallons in it when empty, but it had a 17 gallon tank. I always thought about it, but didn’t wanna ask when at the dealer.

[@billurban1581]

93 octane isn’t too expensive when you only use an average of 8.6 gallons a month to go about 900 miles a month. I’m talking about my Volvo S60 recharge, 103 miles per gallon since new, over the last 18 months, 17,000 miles. The icing on the cake is the performance, 455 hp, 523 pounds feet of torque.

[@xzimxzim]

@@billurban1581 I looked into an xc90 but when in electric is RWD, hybrid FWD/AWD. Not even the dealer could answer my question. How are they in the snow when in the electric? Does the motor come on a lot for the extra grip upfront? Or do you have to actually have to put it in constant AWD on the settings?

[@khaledabdelwahab9455]

Thanks I love your videos! I like the blue exterior but not the interior colour It's better transmission than the 350h but the 350h is better for regular gas! I'm missing the power back door in my signature 350h that's disappointing for me for a 2024 car!

I think black interiors work on some cars, but in my opinion, not on Luxury cars. I like to order my cars with a different colour interior (if available). I am on my 3rd Cadillac and my recent 2024 Caddy has the Sangria coloured optional interior. It's stunning. But like Zack, I don't like sunroofs. lol. I like this NX350.

[@bho6486]

We test drove/compared the NX hybrid with the Venza Limited. We went with the Venza and we're very happy. And we saved money on the difference between the two vehicles. But, we would have liked the blue exterior/tan interior mix, which was not available on the blueprint blue exterior Venza.

Regarding comment about quietness, not sure how about Canada but models assembled in japan for european market got extra insulation in model 2025 (as long as mu dealer is not lying me). Graet test thank you!

[@dr.anniepurrl]

My 2025 350h shipped from Canada and I’ve had it about a month now. I would have imagined the cabin would be quieter. It’s not an issue for me so it doesn’t affect my love for my car. The only thing I dislike is that I’m not getting the stated mpg for city. I get the 38-39 mpg when traveling on the highway for road trips but not in the city. I average about 34 mpg in the city. That’s a big disappointment to me. Granted, I frequently use the cool seats and always have on the AC but it’s the same when traveling for road trips. The Lexus app also states that I drive excellent so I’m not sure why I’m not reaching close to 41 mpg.

[@abhisheknauduri7013]

Does this have Heads up display or is that only RX and above? But what a beautiful vehicle! Love that color combination

I have the NX and UX and you can't really compare the size. UX is way smaller but we still love our UX and we will use it more often than our NX. For grocery shopping, UX way to small so when we go shopping and on trips, NX is our first choice

[@Ameer_30]

Even though it’s only me inside the vehicle 99% of the time I prefer full size suv since I feel safer.
