New Lexus NX 2022 review with 0-60mph test!

Need help buying your next car? Click the following link and my team and I will help you choose your ideal car at a fair price - from Mat Watson! bit.ly/-Help-Me-carwow
.............................................................
This is the new Lexus NX!
It’s the first ever plug-in hybrid from Lexus, coming with two hybrid engine options. The ‘self-charging’ NX350h has a 2.5-litre naturally-aspirated petrol engine linked to a battery pack. This produces a total of 244hp and can be had with either front- or all-wheel-drive.
The range-topper is the plug-in hybrid model, the NX450h+, which pairs its 2.5-litre naturally-aspirated petrol engine with an 18kWh chargeable battery to produce a combined 309hp. This also means you will be able to drive the NX450h+ up to around 47 miles in electric-only mode.
These hybrid engine options aren’t all that’s new with this second-gen NX. It’s been given a more aggressive look, with a huge grille dominating the front and a new LED light bar stretching the width of its boxy rear. Inside, the interior has been given a very unique design, with a ‘tazuna’ cockpit that’s meant to be very driver-focused. Stick with Mat to find out what that means!
So, is this NX the best hybrid SUV on the market? Well, let’s see what Mat thinks!

The petrol cover switch is inside is because in alot of countries, especially Asia, there are petrol attendants that pump petrol for you. So which means when you pump petrol you dont have to get out of your car and your doors will still be locked even when your pumping petrol. As for the plug for the Hybrid, its likely you will plug it yourself in your home hence you open from the outside.

[@azepeda88]

There is also a button on the BMW X5 45e. The reason in that case is that since it’s a PHEV, you might use EV mode exclusively for a while and not use any fuel. The fuel tank is pressurized to prevent a buildup of excess fuel vapors in the fuel tank

@carwow Regarding the fuel filler cap: on all plugin hybrids you have to press a button first. That is because they try to vacuum the fuel tank and this vacuum has to be released before opening. Vacuum is there because it should prolong the life of the fuel in the tank. In an odeal world you would always charge your hybrid and never use petrol. So the fuel might get old with all the oxygen and will not ignite properly.

YASSSS FINALY I was waiting for this review for soo long and it's finally here, thanks Mat you the best :D

[@funkyhouseman]

Reason why the fuel flap is button activated is due to legislation, when you press the button the fuel neck is vented to avoid fuel vapours being released. All PHEV's are the same. Bmw had a huge issue with this on the i8.

[@young3nsinglej]

You'd think, as an automotive journalist, he'd know this 😕

[@funkyhouseman]

@@young3nsinglej were all on a journey to enlightenment!

[@SiiliViin]

So all other car companies do not need to ventilate or why European cars do not have that "feature"? In reality, it is just asian thing, as all asian cars historically use from cabin opening fuel flap and used to have in cabin boot opening button also.

[@funkyhouseman]

@@SiiliViin read into it, the car is not allowed to release fuel vapour if its a phev, that's why you have to hold the button down on phevs and the dash display tells you when the flap will open. I've driven an i8, an xc40, a cayenne hybrid, a mitsubishi outlander, a 330e and they all have that feature.

[@SiiliViin]

@@funkyhouseman I do not know those exact models, but still it is hard to believe that. At first, there no reasons to make extra steps on hybrids, why!? For second, all ICE cars have fuel tank ventilation, no extra ventilation needed for "hybrids". This is just design thing, if those cars all actually have fuel gap opening button. European cars have it connected to central locking system and opening doors, opens also fuel flap.

[@georgem8550]

The reason for the fuel filler release is because with these hybrids people can often go extended periods of time without refueling and so to stop the fuel going stale they pressurise the tanks, hence the button to release the pressure before you open.

[@nzer19]

Regarding needing a button to open the petrol cap: In order not to have fuel evaporate into the atmosphere, a lot of PHEVs have pressurised petrol tanks (only slightly above atmospheric pressure). More needed in PHEVs because petrol more likely to sit there unused for ages and traditional techniques to deal with this in ICE cars require the engine to run more regularly. The button depressurises the tank before unlocking.

Exactly and in an electric car you are also driving around with the additional weight of the larger battery unless you are using the full capacity all the time. So I see what Matt means here but I think I would prefer a PHEV vs full EV.

The body of this Lexus NX, especially in side-rear angle profile, reminds me of Mazda CX-5, a bit sportier and perhaps overall better looking and more luxurious.

I agree with you... The central lock sound from Mat is epic 🤣🤣🤣

[@alyxstyle1765]

I’d go with the plug-in. Fully loaded everything between 450h and 450h+ is around $2000. Besides, here in the US, I think the plug-in variant is eligible for federal incentives of around $7500. If this is confirmed, the plug-in would be significantly cheaper and have all the capabilities of a plug-in should you need it. I am in with the 450h+ Just gotta find one.

I believe that in Europe, the categories for luxury cars are Rolls Royce, Bentley, etc. Brands such as Lexus, Mercedes and the like are considered 'premium' cars

Didn’t they already have adaptive headlights on all their models with matrix LED. I drove the LS500 president line and the automatic high beam was fantastic with it exactly following oncoming traffic and leaving a blank space in the light beam to not dazzle

[@SergCarReviews]

These headlights will have the blade scan technology, it’s actually pretty amazing. But yes you’re right the headlights are the triple led headlight system where it can automatically un illuminate any high beam. It can turn of the middle high beams if there’s a car in front or turn off the right/left side high beams for opposite incoming cars.

The Predator comparison was Gold. I love the Lexus design, but yeah I do think they could style the front grill a bit differently.Still, it would not put me off buying this. Love the interior too. Some really nice touches, like the hideaway phone compartment. I own a Peugeot 3008 and am still really happy with it, but Lexus was on my radar when I bought that car. It was just a bit further up the price range.

I sat on the driver's seat on the 2022 NX. Even raising the seat, it was like trying to look over a mountain. I am 5' 7" so that is not an issue. Whereas I had no problem with an ES300h which in fact I wound up buying!

The charge port and fuel filler cap works just like BMW’s. On plug-in hybrid BMW’s, the charge port you push to open, but the fuel filler cap is a button on the inside.

The tax advantages are real, but even disregarding that, plug-in hybrids are not pointless at all for a very large group of car users. And I'm one of them. Most days I do no more than 20 miles just locally, and then every couple of weeks I am likely to do a 500 mile round trip. With a plug-in hybrid, I will have no significant fuel cost in everyday use, and no need to wake the petrol engine for a lot of cold-start short local runs. Yet I will also have no range anxiety or charging delays on the long trips. For someone who wants one car to do it all, something like this is a very attractive proposition.

[@ms-jl6dl]

Well they're pointless from the perspective of "doing something for the environment". Only that. And can only be used by people who own homes with garages,for the rest of us living in the city buildings (ca.60%) this is overpriced, useless ,virtue-signaling tool of the dimwits.
