New Lexus NX in-depth review: hybrid hero!

[@themanipulator1]

I'd have this lexus over anything from Germany by a long way. It stands out among a sea of x3's and Q5s. It's better built, more reliable and just cooler. Great review Nicola.

[@ayoubrabhi9798]

Toyota reliability is just a tail....it's good but not legendary

[@kristians2704]

the X3, GLC and even the GV70 are all far better overall. They offer 6 cylinder engines, RWD platforms, nicer interiors, more tech. The NX might be cooler since it’s rarer than the Germans here in Europe but ovjectivly it’s worse.

[@shivamarya5225]

@@kristians2704what car has more tech than this in the segment ? this has automatic parking, largest heads up display in the segment that shows navigation, 3d view monitor which shows you the wheel location and the underside of the car, electronic door handles, voice control, adaptive suspension, adaptive cruise control, digital key etc.

[@fritzmouton430]

Great review, love your energy and the detail you add.

[@eamonnmcdermott1939]

The e latch for opening the door stops you opening it into oncoming cars, cyclists and pedestrians using the blind spot monitoring system (there is of course an override for emergencies). This car is a great improvement over the previous generation and will be far far more RELIABLE than any of it's competitors, especially the german brands! If I was in the market for a car in this class this would be my choice without doubt!

[@TheLittleRedCali]

Very nice. Something tells me Lexus drivers are not too bothered about that CVT gearbox. Most people who buy these want reliability and luxury and this car delivers big time.

[@rpgPalette]

In hybrids, there is nothing from CVT, it's called e-CVT only because it changes gears seamlessly and has constant high rpm during acceleration, but everything else is different. Weberauto described its insides and it's more reliable than normal automatic according to my experience and observations. Basic CVT, in non-hybrids, even in toyotas are less reliable than automatic, not capable for long mountain uphills, light offroad and high loads (over 500kg trailers).

[@dr.clivejames4567]

Exactly, not bothered about the BMW X3 either!

[@bojankis5999]

You are not overactor. You are realy crazy. I love you! Keep up the good work.

[@MrVoayer]

Lexus stepped up its game remarkably ! As did the reviewer !

[@mark_u]

Again, the eCVT in Toyota and Lexus hybrids isn't the typical CVT in nonhybrid models 😩 I wish car reviewers could better explain this

[@losch78]

I think many of them don't really understand the rather complex tech with planetary gears etc. behind it, so CVT it is....

[@mark_u]

@@losch78 And that's such a shame 😟

[@AngryBritain]

Still sounds horrible though under acceleration.

[@kristians2704]

the sound from the eCVT is just as bad as any other CVT

[@NickLiang]

Self charging hybrids are so inefficient and underpowered too, coupled with a CVT gearbox, its not a great package for such a steep price

[@brettooops7663]

Great review, very enthusiastic! I'd certainly test drive one of these if I was in the market for a new car! That interior is a huge improvement, well done Lexus.

[@m.n.953]

Hi Yesterday I did a test drive for a Lexus nx 450h in hybrid mode, and I was surprised that for the duration of the test the sound of the electric motors was annoying... Is this normal for the hybrid mode? Another thing I felt was that the suspension system is not quite as good as described in the videos because I I felt it concretely in the street potholes and light bumps. Besides in the volvo xc60 b5 mild hybrid test nothing of this felt no annoying sounds and good behaviour suspensions.

Hi. -Next time 2022 Genesis GV70 vs 2022 Lexus NX 300 comparison?. 🤔 Please.

[@anthonystevens8683]

I've never driven the NX300 but I'll be adding this one to my test drive list when it's time to change. There are a lot of options out there so it may take some time. Oh and I love the big telly that they've added to this one and it looks better integrated into the dash and not s stuck on iPad that some others do. Real twiddly knobs are likely to be a must for my next car. I'm on the fence as to the style of the family front grille though, it sort of resembles the mouth of one of those predator nasties in those films but as I'd be driving it and not looking at it so maybe a minor gripe in reality. Great review Nicola.

1:23 This highlights how much damage the trackpoint/trackpad did to the Lexus brand. For nearly two decades Lexus had the absolute best touchscreen infotainment/satnav systems on the market, and then they ditched it all and tried to make their system more BMW iDrive like to try and woo the BMW crowd (and all it did was alienate many Lexus loyalists) as a result the brand that was synonymous with the best in infotainment is tarred with the failure of that trackpoint/pad >.>

how come the nx in US listed 39mpg combined. And you said it this nx in UK has 47 mpg. Are they different?

Debating between this and rx350? I have a family of 3 adults and one 90lbs dog. We hardly go out of town but when we do it will be 3 adults and the dog. Iam afraid the NX will be too small? It is cheaper though, that's why iam looking at it
