Thank you! Glad you enjoyed it

Me too!

What do you think after 3 months?

I have the same controls on my RX and I DESPISE them. I can use them, but it makes everything 10x more complicated than it needs to be. A luxury car is supposed to reduce stress, not make it worse.

Thanks and you're welcome!

Side note. My RX shows the apple carplay maps in the heads up display

Thank you!

​@@YBrianL, Why did you feel 20in wheels have a harder ride? Intuitively, lager wheels should make a ride felt softer and less bumpy. I'm in a process of purchasing NX 350h Luxury (or Executive version) vs. Prime (18in wheels), so your response would be greatly appreciated.

HONESTLY, you are being sooooo picky!

I haven't noticed any issues with turning visibility. And yes you can use android auto or apple carplay with the usb connection as well. I have some FLAC soundtrack files on my phone's local storage and I use either KZfaq music or Poweramp to play them

yea sunglasses absolutely cutout the visibility of the HUD considerably. It does vary depending on the exact lighting conditions, but for the most part it's more of a (big) nuisance but not like completely unusable with sunglasses. To me though it still beats glancing down at the steering wheel.

I said the exact same thing. I thought I would turn it off but after a week, I love it. And I didn’t know you could customize the buttons until now

Hey, owner of 24 NX FSPORT here, I have the 20 inch wheels and really don't feel much of anything. However the FSPORT has adaptive suspension as well but overall a very smooth ride.

You’re welcome! The paint colour is called nori green pearl, one of the best from Lexus

I would love to test drive and review the ES but no plans any time soon.....mayyybe for the next redesign? lol

Off top of my head in the climate setting there is s-flow which direct air only to occupied seats. I think just sitting in the seat is not enough you have to also fasten the seatbelt. Give that a try.

its the canadian executive package for the hybrid 350h!

thank you! I did have to order it from the dealer (so not right off the lot) and it took about 3 months to get it built and delivered. It is a Canadian executive package so fully loaded.

Under due to employee discount

lane departure activates above 50km/h (~30mph) I believe. Adaptive cruise with lane tracing assist can actually be activated at any speed but if you're below 30km/h it'll automatically set the target speed to 30km/h

Built in Canada!

Afraid I'm not familiar with the US options but I do know it's a lot more customizable (and hence complicated I guess) than the Canadian packages

have not driven the venza myself but at a quick glance NX hybrid has a tad bit more hp/torque, bigger screen (and physical vol / temp dials if that matters to you), customizable steering wheel switches (controversial but still), leather seats, heated rear seats, digital latch/safe exit assist, etc.....but I'd imagine the NX sound system to blow venza out the water, and the cabin should be ever so slightly quieter which combines to make the listening experience much better. That sound system itself is worth the price difference for me lol. and maint cost shouldn't differ too much they take the same regular gas and same synthetic engine oil

Yep similar thing happens to mine. I've gone for the first complimentary checkup as well and found no issues so should be all good

Thank you! I'm just wrapping up the night review and will start the self parking video very soon!

Yes i want to see the self park.😊

Back seat should have plenty of leg and head room unless you're well over 6ft. Also NX hybrid can take regular gas just fine, premium is recommended but not required

Thanks! It was built in Canada

Nice!! How long it takes a dealer to deliver a PHEV Lexus?

3 biggest differences in coasting/braking/accelerating. Right off the bat the most noticeable thing was the regen braking resistance. If you're someone who coasts to stop a lot in a regular gas car, you'll find that in the hybrid you'll need to delay the coasting, because it slows down noticeably faster as the brakes regen to charge the battery. It's not a good or bad thing it's just by design. The actual braking feel is pretty interesting. On gradual braking (on scale of 1-10, say gradual is 1-4), the regen is enough to slow the car down to a near complete stop then the traditional hydraulic brakes would kick in at the last second to stop and hold the car, you may sometimes notice a very faint feedback from the brake pedal. It's VERY faint but the brake transition timing is unmistakable, and it's only on the pedal, a passenger wouldn't feel a thing. On aggressive braking (6-10) or just braking at highway speeds, the traditional hydraulic brakes kick in almost right away. In either case the brake feels perfectly smooth, where it's not so smooth is if you go from 4 - 6 while you still have some speed left, that's when the transition can feel a little too sudden. Essentially always brake steadily and don't go above 4 unless in emergency, you want to stay below 4 anyways to maximize regen and efficiency. Other than that I really like the acceleration of the hybrid a lot more than gas. Unless you're flooring it from the get go, it should always start with electric only which is very linear and very responsive. The transition to gas as you speed up is very smooth as well, it's more noticeable when the engine is cold but once it warms up its barely noticeable.

Afraid I do not have actual practical experience to speak to since I haven't driven either in snow yet. But from what I've read/heard I think the 350 does edge out on the 350h a bit with the traditional mechanical AWD. The 350h seems to be slightly more front biased, the trail mode does help a bit. That said I wouldn't imagine the 350h to be too noticeably worse than the 350 in most situations. And in the most severe situations proper winter tires would be the far better solution than any AWD anyways.

I only had it in the automated car wash once other than that I just wiped dirty areas or cameras every now and then. The sensors aren't completely exposed so they shouldn't be so easily damaged, I wouldn't worry too much about it.

Thanks LSFT! I really enjoy your videos as well and found out from you that cadmium orange will be removed entirely. I might go insane if they add copper crest to the NX lol but we shall see

@@YBrianL that is my speculation as well. Hope you won't go insane if it does happen for 2025. I'm already sour for advanced park not available on my 2022, but now they have it for 2024 FSport. 😡

Congats on your new Lexus. I just got the same atomic silver/Palomino luxury 1 week ago and couldn't be happier. I am interested in finding out how you are achieving over 40mpgs? I have only gotten to 34mpg. I don't feel like I am being aggressive either. Does putting the music and a/c factor into it? Also, how do you reset the mpg gauge to 0?

Not much to talk about with a 4 popper.

It's the Canadian executive package (top trim for hybrid)

The front seats don't fold forward all that much but with them pushed all the way forward you'd get about 2m of straight line distance from the back of the seat to the hatch door. With the front passenger seat down backwards on top of the folded rear seats though you can probably fit the entire space from hatch up to the dash/window, just shy of 3m ish if you tuck a bit sideways

Thanks for all the info! I bet my 9 foot kayak would fit inside with the front passenger seat folded down then@@YBrianL

thank you! i have my winter rims/tires now but no haven't thought about next set of summer/all seasons yet. Perhaps michelin cross climate or primacy but we'll see

Quite simply, subscribed, excellent review; awesome delivery, so engaging and informative. No doubt, this channel will generate a huge following, thank you.

Under hard acceleration you can definitely hear the engine but in my opinion it's not overwhelming and you dont get that horrible droning sound that some nissans or subaru CVTs have (or used to at least). Only happens if you're literally flooring it though, otherwise the engine/eCVT is generally very quiet

@@YBrianL is cabin noisy driving on a freeway? Or pretty quite? Waiting for 18 inch wheels being installed on your vehicle to feel the difference in noise as well. I heard Michelin CrossClimate 2 is pretty quite. You may try those

@@gomusicproduction1 it's pretty quiet, could definitely be better with 18" non-run flats but still it's a very noticeable improvement over regular economy cars.

The cargo area is roughly 50in wide side to side, so should be able to fit a few bags

Both cars can be customized to end up in the same price range. I do believe you'll end up getting a better bang for the buck with NX. I've had both. Prefer Lexus over BMW. Take my comment for what it's worth.

it is not delayed. I really like the way it works, particularly on the inside, opening it with a thumb press feels very natural. However we just recently had a bout alternating rain/snow followed by a frigid deep freeze. I found one of the buttons seemed a bit frozen and had limited travel so it took noticeably more force to press the button down to open the door. Now that it's warmed up it seems to have fixed itself.
