Life With the New 2022 Lexus NX | 1 Week Later

[@PrimeAutotainment]

If you’re wondering how the battery went dead on a basically new vehicle, I’m not sure what happened. It happened when I was filming. I didn’t do anything different with it than other press cars. Lexus says it’s a “pre-production” vehicle so it must have been a pre production battery lol. *There was also no owners manual with the vehicle as it was a pre production press car*. Regardless, the door handle was a pain to figure out when I had no previous experience opening that handle when it’s dead.

[@donaldbanner2185]

I have the 450h+ for one week now......Never use the motor.....Only electric to and from work...QUIET!!! & SMOOTH Car is hard to get and Resale will be HUGE...Has Owners manual

[@romairoblackstock5100]

Um sir Lexus was smart enough to engineer a fail-safe for the latch system if the battery had died. All you had to do was pull the small lever underneath the door handle twice and the door would open. Clearly, you didn't read the press release or watch any of the videos Lexus made regarding the new NX because that emergency door opening feature was quite high in marketing/ advertising.

[@romairoblackstock5100]

Did you just say the latch system is "Unnecessary?"AGAIN YOU CLEARLY DIDN'T READ THE PRESS RELEASE. Three words SAFE EXIT ASSIST

[@tuxievous420]

It’s probably a rental and made a quick YT video give him a break

[@PrimeAutotainment]

@@romairoblackstock5100 I read the press release, brochures, spec sheets, etc. Of course there is a mechanical way to open it, as there needs to be…but you must not have listened because my point is that the vast majority of owners don’t and won’t read the manual and will have zero clue how to get into their vehicle once the battery dies for the car, or the key fob dies…they’re straight up stuck. If there’s bad weather at the time…they’re out of luck. They won’t figure out how to get into their vehicle. The electric component IS unnecessary. They don’t need to literally “lock” someone in their car if a pedestrian or car is coming from behind…several other brands have a very similar system that ALERTS them if there’s something coming from behind. It doesn’t need to be this type of electronic system…which will probably fail long before a traditional door handle lever mechanism would. I understand why Lexus added it to their safety system, and I love their safety system as a whole, but I wish they wouldn’t do this to the door handle.

[@wayoflife9248]

Owned it for a week now as well. 100% satisfied. Very beautiful and excellent car.

[@instasingingvids3529]

Glad to see you talk about the bad parts of the car as well

[@sorwrang]

I don't own the vehicle, but I tested it - and I REALLY like the customization feature of the steering wheel controls. The primary strength, in my opinion, is that you effectively have 2x8 functions with just 2x4 buttons (+ the ones for changing functions). In vehicles with dedicated and pre-determined functions on the steering wheel, you can't change a thing, and you have 1 control for each button. In the NX you have 2 controls for each button.. I really like that!

[@RevLexus]

oh thanks for sharing!

[@jean-marcdelbos2206]

The e-latch electronic door release system is designed to allow the Safe Exit Assist system to operate. Lexus was honoured for safety innovation for this feature : this system received recently the Secure Car honour in France’s prestigious 2021 Automobile Awards.

[@PrimeAutotainment]

Yes, it’s part of their safety system, but other brands allow the same function without that type of door handle. It doesn’t have to be a faux electric door handle to alert someone that it’s unsafe to open the door. It will just become a pain in the butt for every owner eventually

[@MrOP66]

@@PrimeAutotainment IMO your explanation that you accidentally drained the battery sounds very shaky and disingenious. You just wanted the make it sound like it is a big problem.

[@PrimeAutotainment]

Yeah the last thing I wanted was to be stuck and walk home to grab a car so I could jump start it. I LOVE inconveniences like that…not. I like Lexus. Even if I didn’t, I wouldn’t want to intentionally do something stupid to bad mouth them. Get real

The customizable steering wheel buttons work best with the HUD. You don’t need to take your eyes off the road to see what they do which is far safer. The customization option also allows you to configure the buttons to your most used features. For example, the activating 360 camera or adjusting climate controls. Overall a very useful feature.

[@dillharris1953]

The door handles are great for people with hands that aren't as strong as most folks' hands. Same with the shifter and the memory steering wheel and seats. You must keep in mind that some folks look for features like these because of limited abilities. My wife and I think these features are very thoughtful, and they are big selling points.

[@PrimeAutotainment]

I’m glad to hear that!

[@lisap.6565]

Thank you for your review. I have been a Lexus RX owner since 2008 and love the brand. I have been wanting to downsize and considered the Lexus NX, and even though I am a petite 5'2", the cabin feels extremely tight. Lexus prices have also gone up quite a bit, and for the smaller size of the NX, it's just overpriced IMHO. On the plus side, you can't beat the reliability and premium interior of the Lexus brand.

[@jml9550]

You can get a NX350h with premium package for $45K. It is quite reasonable. We bought our 08 RX350 AWD back in 2008 and it was around $45K. Given the updated technology and 14 years later, its current price is not bad. We still have it today at 146K miles and still going strong. The NX350H will be my wife’s next SUV when my son takes over the RX next year when he gets his license. Yes the cabin is tighter than the RX but as “almost” empty nesters, it is a perfect size for my wife. We might even go with the RX450H as well for maybe $7k more. BTW, I drive a 2017 ES350 as well, we are happy Lexus customers as well.

[@FourJaysFour]

Brands across the board have had mass price hikes. Lexus has actually had much lower increases. Look at Tesla... I think Elon is now at a 45% raise YOY

[@bobbywoods684]

My wife has a 19 NX and it does feel tight. We are a little disappointed that Lexus didn't take the opportunity to make the new NX feel at least as large as the new RAV inside. It doesn't feel much bigger at all. But, we'll probably get one as hers is 4 years old in November. All that said, awesome unassailable quality.

[@jml9550]

@@bobbywoods684 I think that’s Lexus marketing strategy. the NX is more accessible at $45K vs $54K for the RX hybrid if you want more room and a more luxurious ride. The NX is more sporty in terms of handling and suitable for someone in their early 30s with no kids or empty nesters.

[@sweetpeaamy11]

1 week since I took delivery and I’m still learning. The touch tracer I find my hand touches them sometimes unintentionally. But I like the features and seeing them on the Hud.

[@william6765]

[@nathanielross8232]

It will get better and better. Break it in gently. At least on the 2.0L it starts to improve around 1k miles. I’m averaging 27.5mpg in mixed driving on my ‘19 NX, and the new one should be a fraction better. Also it seems to get better mileage on 93 octane fuel. Good luck with yours.

[@TheBarberOneRJ]

@Nathaniel Ross Shoot... I hope so. Here in L.A. 91 is the highest octane. The engine is a 2.4. And I'm hearing that the run flats with the 20 inch wheels don't help out either lol. But yea fingers crossed that I come somewhat close to yours numbers. Thank you for the feedback!

[@lixiaochen6]

I thought this Lexus is going to be perfect for me when I saw the news about improved infotainment, but it turns out it also added some unwanted quirks. 1. I really don't like the E latch. Pulling on a solid physical latch has been one of the things I like about a nice car. 2. Passenger side dashboard seems weirdly bland. It's just a solid chunk of soft plastic without any geometry and stitching. 3. Upgraded audio system cannot be had with pano sunroof. No rear door speakers on the upgraded audio system (I like rear biased fading, this is going to make it sound weird). 4. No spare tires. But there's really not a lot of efficient yet reliable hybrid options. I'm pretty torn on this.

[@nathanielross8232]

Exactly the same here. Have ‘19 NX 300. Love it. No spare is a deal breaker unless you enjoy being stranded.

[@bobbywoods684]

Been waiting and now I'm confounded. I'll have to see it in person and determine if some of this is rendered moot by the overall car. If not, we'll just get a RX350 before they improve it. While a tad smallish, my wife's '19 NX is really almost perfect.

[@psW805jr]

Damn so you get basic sounds system with the pano roof ???

[@thtupid]

I feel some of the bad changes were done just for the sake of it rather than done with proper reason. The cruise control for example has been complained about when it was just a stalk so now they integrated it into the steering wheel controls without really thinking about how functional it is compared to the previous design.

[@zhinan888]

My issues are: 1st, we live close to Boston, and our garage door is small; and 2nd, we need an AWD for the snow in Boston. Lexus NX seems to be a logical choice.

[@matrix-fh9tn]

Let's keep complaining, Lexus might ditch the heavier run flats and add a spare tire for 2023, which I'm aiming for. 😁 I always avoid first year of new design.

One of the things that pisses me off about Lexus is the subscription service for Lexus Enform. If I want to use remote engine start, I have to have a subscription. Yes, Lexus wants to charge us to use a feature that’s already built into the vehicle. It’s a function of the body control module. You can buy the cheapest Hyundai on the market and it includes remote engine start as a standard feature of the car. I know this sounds like I’m being petty, but it’s a matter of principal. Idk, maybe I’m getting old and cranky…..LOL

[@jml9550]

Yeah it sucks. I didn’t renew the service after one year and got a remote start / alarm system installed for around $600. Unfortunately with all Lexus Toyota push start cars, engine shuts off once a door open for security reason.

[@krellman7]

@@jml9550 it seems that other manufacturers are doing a much better job with this currently. As an example, my wife has a 2021 Volvo XC60. When you open the app on your phone, it asks you how long you want the car to run in 5 minute increments. When you walk up to the car and open the door, the vehicle continues to run. A would be thief cannot drive off with the car because Volvo did something very clever. You cannot shift the vehicle out of Park unless you have the key fob with you. In order to drive away, you simply hit the start button again. Pretty well thought out.

[@krellman7]

@@jml9550 I agree. Mine have been very reliable and quality is excellent. The other benefit of Lexus is the resale value. Much better than the European brands.

Some of your grips are against things that make this a luxury vehicle, while run flats for instance, would be more expensive to replace, they allow the driver to continue on to a place to get the tire repaired/replaced, which is one of a number of things that make this vehicle luxurious and convenient.

It is rumored that this exact turbocharged I4 (T24A-FTS) will be on 6th gen 4Runner and 4th gen Tacoma. 2022 NX 350 is the only car this engine os currently available so it is crucial to keep an eye on it.

Electronic door lock/unlock is the only way to ensure the door isn't opened against oncoming car or cyclist. Same with electronic power steering assist. Kills the tactile feel of the hydraulic steering, but allows for customizations such as speed-sensitive turning speed, heavier feel in sport-mode , etc. Unnecessary? Depends on how much you value tech and gadgets over feel, simplicity and reliability.

My daughters hate the door handles. I'm not a fan. Why have digital door handles and cordless CarPlay, but no standard cordless phone charging? I have updated my Iphone and set my phone as the Primary (and only) driver; but every day I have to re-activate as new or use as a Guest. Called Lexus three times and they say it's ME. It's not. The standard 9.8" screen is big enough, but the interface electronics are actually somehow inferior to my Alfa Romeo. And why not a simple console knob so as to not have fingerprints all over the 9.8" screen. Ugh...

I used to drive a 2018 NX 300, great car, I upgraded to this fully equipped NX 350 Sport. Driving is great but there are a few issues and dislikes as apple connect as well as loading personal settings they work less than 50% of the time, it's hard to connect my phone to just use bluetooth options... sound system (Mark Levinson) not as good as other sound systems from other brands

I still don’t see how you accidentally drained a battery on a completely new vehicle.

[@tealiu1518]

Hi, how do you turn the lane departure warning sound on? Thank you

[@sivannalang1058]

Thank you for the review for 2022 NX - after I watched your video I want to keep my RX 2005 . Too much technology is going to be problems in a long term and cost 💲 to fix.

[@jj5515]

Toyota / Lexus / Honda/ Acura - please stick to your roots. Don't add that turbo. WE need quality & reliability that we expect from y'all.

WRONG: that is highlander hybrid engine,not rav4

[@william6765]

I like the nx 350h and will get the premium . I too do not like run flat tires and will replace them with good regular tires when the tread wears out. Wish there was an option to get a spare tire.

[@nathanielross8232]

You can buy a compact spare either after market or from Toyota. No place to store it. It may be a good option if you need to take a long trip and don’t want to get stranded.

[@william6765]

Thank you. I wonder if there is demand Lexus could produce a tray that can hold a spare for the 2022

[@nathanielross8232]

Enough people complained when The second generation GS came out with run flats and no spare. Lexus started equipping it with a spare. Same issue now with the Lexus UX. No spare, but the Toyota C-HR compact spare is a perfect fit. I’d bet the RAV4 spare fits, but you have to research that. There are companies that make trays for other brands (i.e. BMW X3). Wouldn’t be surprised if a spare tire kit with a jack comes out soon. If you get one, make sure it is securely stored. These things are lethal in an accident if they fly around. Interesting that the RAV4 hybrid and plug in hybrid both come with a compact spare 🤷🏼‍♂️

[@william6765]

@@nathanielross8232 thank you for your ideas. I will be getting the 350h delivered in about 6 weeks. For sure I will replace the run flats with good all seasons that are regular tires when they wear out. Will most likely get tire repair kit and air compressor in short run. Will look at getting a compatible spare at some point. Lexus does have road side assist for like 4 yrs.

[@nathanielross8232]

@@william6765 Full road side assistance for 4 years, plus the safety connect is free for 10 years. Good luck with your new one !

[@sammydavis991]

The door handle is a safety feature

[@PrimeAutotainment]

It’s unnecessary. They can have a safe exit assist feature without that type of door handle. Other brands do it.

@@GuuiYae lol I can imagine. A lot of people in North America want a 10 litre gas guzzling “truck” that gets 5miles per gallon. Europe has a lot of laws against those types of vehicles so they’re not popular here

What about the paid subscription for the navigation so stupid.

I was told that the new Lexus has stopped installing the automatic stop/start system. Is this true? One more thing, in the car you just reviewed, the wheels look like toys, they are too small.

[@tamedjungle310]

As an owner of a 2019 NX300 AWD, I can tell you that Lexus is not as reliable as reported by the media.

[@naveenthemachine]

Why what happened?

[@tamedjungle310]

@@naveenthemachine Bought new in August 2019 for Sunday and highway drive. At less than 14,000 miles needed new pads. Lexus' dealer told me that I "must abused the car" which is not true. A blown fuse $ 8.50 to replace. On my last visit the dealer recommended a $300.00 worth of "recommended service" on a car that less than 15,000 miles. Lexus dealers are not the best. This my second Lexus NX. The first one broke down the second year. I have issues, but I don't want bore you.

[@naveenthemachine]

@@tamedjungle310 😳 ouch Well dealers are only focusing on profits these days. That shouldn’t be a surprise

[@nathanielross8232]

I have 2 ‘19 NX’s. Never a problem with either. Some dealers charge much more than others for service. One dealer charges my friend hundreds more (every car that gets in there gets a $199 laser alignment) than mine does. Shop around

[@naveenthemachine]

@@nathanielross8232 I thought Lexus is supposed to be delivering top notch industry best customer experience and service. Is that slowly diminishing from Lexus?
