Your right it shouldn't be compared to a BMW or Mercedes. Those 2 are way more luxurious than this thing. The interior of the NX is no better than KIA or Hyundia. Reliability is its only strong point.

I think you hit the nail on the head perfectly. It's a Lexus. I don't want "sporty" or "driving dynamics". I want a smooth, quiet, refined drive that is a trademark of Lexus.

Good review, Not alot of reviewers out there know that this brand stands for efficiency and reliability and not for going fast. Escpecially reliability. Not alot of people know this but german brands after 100.000 miles they will cost you. Toyota and Lexus they will keep going and don't break down.

@MrOktsx 4 ай бұрын

I've had my NX 350h for 9 days. Getting 42-45 mpg in town and just under 40 mpg on highway. I didn't realize hybrids could be this good. Cannot tell when it uses the electric motors, cannot tell when the ICE engine starts, truly something you have to experience yourself to believe. My dealer usually has none available on their lot. 350h's are usually reserved before they arrive. I was lucky to reserve mine a week before it arrived.

@KajolKhan-qj5ne 4 ай бұрын

I fell in love with it and decided to buy one, but since i'm always on the road and highways, my friends told me that i wouldn't profit much of it being hybrid... i still bought it, and man she consumes less than the Q3 i had, and i enjoy the quietness even better.

Is the car floaty and comfortable to drive? I am looking for a hybrid SUV that feels less of the road. Tired of the potholes around me. Just want a car that can go over small dents in the road and absorb them in suspension. Does NX350H have better suspension than Rav4 hybrid?

The drive portion should have included information on the CVT… I agree with everything said but I bought the NX350… no hybrid… mainly because of all the hybrids with the exception of the new Toyota Crown. Generally, the CVT when extended creates a strained and “tinny” sound. Wanted to hear whether you heard that same sound.

Love this plain, objective review. I’ve always wanted to purchase a Lexus/Toyota SUV for their reliability alone but I also have a heavy foot and appreciate sportier SUV’s of which this NX (and the other variants) is not. Nothing from Lexus’ line up has caught my eye and pocket yet. Being older, I might have to recalibrate my automotive goals 😂. Subscribed!

The NX350h can use Regular octane. That can save $1.00 per gallon. The Proactive driving assist is stress relief. Don't drive it in ECO! You're already saving gas so just use Normal or Sport if you wish.

@dj3114 2 ай бұрын

In my Rav4 hybrid, I drive in Normal in town which gets to speed faster so you can "pulse and glide". On the highway, ECO and have never used Sport. Been thinking about trading and just writing the check for one of these NXs. Probably be my last car, so going to get what I want.

Downshift: Great article! This came at a time when I am getting closer to, after 20 years, replacing my old, reliable Prius. I AM doing my research. I have created a spreadsheet to analyze all my candidates. I am now trying to figure out what I REALLY want in a new car. In the end I am coming to the realization that I want to upgrade to a fancier more luxurious vehicle but I don't need a 7 passenger monster to do it. I want SOME utility (like with the Prius) but not needing to frequently transport refrigerators. Just recently I discovered the Lexus NX 350h. To my surprise it has the luxury I am looking for and the "hybrid-ness" of the Prius. It will also fit in the space that my Prius currently occupies so I don't have to re-arrange my garage. And, best of all, it belongs in the Toyota/Lexus family, both well known for their reliability. It may be more expensive, but what with inflation over the last 20 years, it shouldn't be surprising to those witnessing car prices rise over the last two decades. Watching your well crafted video has gone a long way to make me realize that all I want, in the first place, is to have a fancier, more comfortable, and ... familiar (?) Prius, which is what the NX 350h appears to be. I am hoping to make the change within a year. Thanks!

Is it really that small ? Planning to buy it as family car, I'm 6 foot (can't tell how tall is the reviewer) , planing to carry my baby girl in the back so wondering how that would fit. Almost pulled the plug on a X1 but decided for something justa bit bigger. On paper is longer than the X1 , more or less like GLC / X3 lenght but still.

Hope it's better than the non-h variants as I was recently poised to buy a new either an NX or RX... until I drove both of them. Somehow Lexus managed to make a non-CVT transmission feel like one & somehow they made 275hp feel like less than the 200 &/or 228hp BMW, VW, & Audi direct competitors. Was blown away (in a bad way) at how awful the driving dynamics were in the the NX & RX. Their cars are nice places to be interior wise, but anyone that actually likes driving would be doing themselves a disservice going the Lexus NX/RX route.

The GLB has as much if not more rear space to the GLC. So space-wise, I’m almost sure this is smaller than the GLB (not saying GLB is better, just saying it’s bigger).
