@Redline Reviews, I can sum up the new 2022 Lexus NX for you. I’m no journalist but I can confidently say that the NX that no ones even driven yet is already outclassed. Why? Because the nx is just a rav4, which in itself, is just a Toyota, and being a Toyota means it’s automatically outclassed in every comparison metric. Name one Toyota or Lexus product that has ever proclaimed or currently proclaims the title “benchmark” in any segment. Compact sedan benchmark? Nope Midsize sedan benchmark? nope Compact cuv benchmark? Nope 3 row suv benchmark? nope Minivan benchmark? Nope Pickup truck benchmark? Nope Luxury SUV benchmark?; nope Subcompact benchmark? Nope Luxury sedan benchmark? Nope The answer to this question is that you can’t name one because it doesn’t exist 😆. The nx is front wheel drive, because it’s just a rav4. That automatically puts it at a disadvantage vs others. It doesn’t have a torque vectoring AWD that’s any better than SH AWD. It doesn’t have a fast shifting transmission like Honda’s 10 speed or the ZF 8 speed. It doesn’t have a double wishbone front suspension like other players. The AWD system won’t make the back end step out. It’s not gonna have any sort of rear bias. And the power trains being offered, while there are quite a few, are just nothing short of an utter disappointment: 2.5L I4 203hp (8.2 seconds) 2.4L Turbo I4 275hp (6.8 seconds) 2.5L I4 hybrid 240hp (7.3 seconds) 2.5L I4 PHEV 300hp (6 seconds) The performance Lexus quotes clearly shows that It still cannot compete in this segment. The new turbo sounds like it is good power on paper, but so is a cheaper Mazda CX-5 turbo or even a Hyundai Santa Fe / Kia Sorento turbo… the CX5 and Everyone else will run circles around the nx all day. Now are the nx hybrids and PHEVs fuel efficient? Without question yes. Will this be reliable? Also unequivocally yes. But those things are not really important here for a luxury brand especially when you spend 50-60K. If you want fuel economy and reliability, go buy a Prius, RAV4, Camry, or corolla for that. Even if you somehow value a luxury brand with fuel efficiency and reliability, you have to give up way too much in many areas. You miss out on the key aspects of a luxury cuv with the nx. Whereas with the other competitors, you don’t really give up anything. Compared to the competition like the cx5 turbo, Rdx, gv70, x3, glc, xc60, q5, all of them absolutely destroy the new nx in just about every category shown below. no ifs ands buts maybes ors what-ifs: Exterior design Interior design Materials quality Fit and finish Luxury Technology Handling Performance Comfort Braking suspension polish Chassis dynamics weight balance The nx isn’t even going to score high or even above average in any of these categories because they know they can’t. The NX is not well rounded and never will be. Or as Alex on autos would say, “the Honda Accord of luxury cuvs”. So there literally is no compelling reason to choose an NX over the other options. Heck even the new Hyundai Tucson, Kia Sportage and the new Honda CRV are honestly more exciting products than the new NX. So bottom line, prepare to be disappointed with the new Lexus NX. The gv70 is what I call “the true new Lexus NX”. The gv70 is still better than the new nx and I can bet 100% that the NX is not gonna be a luxury cuv benchmark because Toyota and Lexus know that they are incapable of such task. So, Redline Reviews, I honestly wouldn’t even bother wasting your hard earned time with the new 2022 Lexus NX. If you’re given the opportunity to drive the new NX, I’d just completely pass on it

@@competitiveautomotive5457 agreed. My v6 Camry will smoke any new nx lol. Also, you sound like a journalist the way you use those terms like double wishbone front suspension, fast shifting transmission or torque vectoring AWD I feel like the only Toyota’s that I consider competitive are the v6 Camry, is500, rc f, lc500, Mirai, and the gx460. All other Toyota Lexus products are just laughable IMO

@@naveenthemachine thank you. I just watch a lot of car videos so I gained knowledge But yeah the LX570 is good too albeit too expensive. Also I consider that Gs F, LS460 and LS600hL are also competitive items albeit they don’t exist anymore

@@competitiveautomotive5457 ah right. I forgot about those models haha. The ls460 and 600hl especially are the best Lexus sedans ever made. Even the Gs f is great because of its screaming v8 and chassis dynamics

16:02 cooled seats are available

If he was a car guy it probably gave him pride that he purchased the right car.

You should have chatted with the owner a bit and asked how they liked it! :)

I used that excuse to when I stalk my future girlfriend

Things that r missing on the Lexus, I found on the Genesis. I test drove all of their cars, and the driving dynamics are overall much much better than what Lexus are currently offering rn. Except for the LC and the LS. G90 is really dated and a new gen is coming soon.

@@vincentlee732 Yeah, i can't wait to see the new gen of the G90.

Genesis IS playing with foolish buyers......OVER RATED!!

You must didn’t see the hood - that is a joke! Very lazy!

@wayne cartwright Okay boomer. Usually it’s a good rule of thumb that if an elderly person doesn’t like something, then it’s good.

@@jamesmartin7448 ....Whoa there genius.....you're six clicks behind me and hovering in the double digits.......

I heard in Canada, they might combine infinti and Nissan dealerships.

These cars are selling . I think Genesis aren’t putting enough cars out. Demand is higher than the supply. May be the dealership can’t handle more of these cars and also Consumers are purchasing at mark up prices.

@@MrGeezil uh, you just described the car industry as a whole. There's this little thing called a global pandemic/semiconductor chip shortage still going on.

@@theMLBfan I already know that but remember before the global shortage of chips, cars like the Kia Telluride was selling over MRSP. It’s not just shortage of chip.

@@MrGeezil The GV70 and GV80 are flying off the lots, they can't get enough of them. It's so funny that I've already seen a GV80 and a GV70 and it took forever to see a G80 on the road. For Asian luxury it is Lexus and Genesis for me. Acura is trying. Infiniti is all but dead at this point.

LOL

500hp makes everything better

Not if you want the car to be reliable .......People that go to work everyday would love a fast car but not over the benefit of having a lower horsepower car that will run properly every time they turn the key

@@Defy_Convention 500hp then price will be 85k. Most people won’t pay for that so it won’t sell much.

I actually would get this and pretty much any other Genesis product. They are stepping it up big-time. Their Interiors have better quality than Mazdas and Mazda's have really good quality Interiors.

Ya idk why they didn’t put this interior in the refreshed G70. Soooo much better.

@@jjchockey agreed

@@jjchockey I think because 2021 G70 is just a face lift ver. Maybe next generation of the G70 probably choose this interior

@@kfx3907 That doesn’t make any sense if they wish to sale the face lifted/refreshed G70 alongside these crossovers. It’s just another lazy attempt from this brand that gets a slap on the wrist simply because of what it is. Lol. Had this been anyone else it would be talked badly about and nobody would let up. Lol

@@mybro727 Many reviewers actually pointed that out in the G70 reviews because the other newer gen Genesis interior are so good but I'm not quite convinced with G70 actually, I like Stinger more, mostly the same car but cheaper, have bigger interior space and looks cooler too. Hopefully Genesis will make proper upgrade with the next gen G70. My 2 cents ...

And an outdated infotainment! This is a much better value.

@@edwink1467 absolutely

I’m not the biggest fan of the styling on the side but it is definitely a better value than Infiniti right now

I wonder if these will lease well

I bought the fx35 when it first hit the dealership. Other than that non of the infiniti's interest me.

👍

Awesome! What color? I saw one on the way back from the gym the other day. It’s a really sharp car.

@@Digitalknifeparty Himalayan Gray👍

@@SS-bp8yq sexy

Congratulations!!!!! 🎉🎉🎉🎉

Genesis (and Hyundai/Kia) use ventilated seats, not cooled seats. I had a previous gen G80 and it was the same way. Same as my current Accord also. My wife has a Chrysler Pacifica, which is a piece of junk, but it does have legit cooled seats and they are incredible compared to my Accord and old Genesis. Ventilated seats only pull heat/moisture away from your body rather than actually blowing cold air out through the seat perforations like real cooled seats do. It's pretty interesting if you look at the list of which brands offer ventilated vs cooled seats.

I have them and they are very cool and the venting is perfect..

@@mattspeer01 Sir, it’s all the same. Some seat designs offer cooler air than others. Different brands give the same exact feature(s) a different name. Usually the luxury brands will offer a cooler air condition seat with more powerful motors for a more affective flow of air. Genesis just didn’t fully cross their “T” here, that’s all.

Why so t ever need?

Wish they offered it in the 2.5 engine. Only offered with a bigger engine.

@@needsleepmommy they do offer it with the 4cyl sport prestige for $50k...here in the US.

@@needsleepmommy They do in Canada, I ordered the 2.5T Sport Prestige in white with the exact same interior.

Agreed

Other than their ugliness?

@@sammydavis991 you got your opinion we got ours, yeah?

@@hacklaurent9412 they are so ugly.

@@sammydavis991 thats cool too

LOL

@@JoeyT1 What

In Europe Hyundai has no chance with that. So Europeans don't need to learn anything from Hyundai

@@FLAKKU03 I’m saying European brands not Europe a country. And I has learned many things from European auto makers and just made it better.

😂😂😂

i think the same too....

Yep

I agree. This smaller one does look more tasteful. The regular GV80.........I don't know, it just looks kinda ostentatious and odd! Certain angles of the vehicle looks good and eye catching. But it's just not a vehicle I would want at all. But I give props to Hyundai for stepping out there to try. It's a decent debut based on response from those who like it. Hyundai cars to me always felt as though they copycat from other makes. As unappealing as this SUV is to me, I can at least say it is more original than others Hyundai cars.

There's nothing wrong with "smaller" those 3 row suvs are porkers to drive.

I totally agree!!

Not even remotely comparable....

The Jag Fpace was really nice but no way would I buy a jag due to reliability.

Mecan is a ripoff piece of crap.

@@GummyRiches .....Rip Off...Yes ........piece of crap .....No.......It suffers from German Unnecessary over engineering and they are cutting corners VW, Audi and Porsche alike......but leaps and bounds in front this Genesis.....

@@waynecartwright9478 unnecessary overenginerig? Prsss Yeah right. Cutting corners? Reliability out the door. Lease it? 👍 Buy it? 💀

Two Hyundai's on your garage? 🤣

@@FLAKKU03 actually, we currently own 2006 Hyundai Tucson (Gv70 will replace), 2012 Hyundai Azera and my 2019 Genesis G70 . We did have a fourth, 2007 Hyundai Accent, but we sold it to our oldest son after purchasing the Genesis G70 😁😀😁 Hyundai/Genesis make great vehicles. 😁😀😄😎😎😎

@@FLAKKU03 Sounds like a smart man, unlike you and whatever is in your garage. Probably some German car lifted on jacks because it is undriveable and falling apart.

@@mattspeer01 you are "almost" smart. Currently I drive 2019 VW Passat, but it's my business car. And I said "almost" because no any issue with the car so far, so sorry, but you're wrong (for your information: this is European Passat, not the creepy American version). Maybe this will be strange for you but my wife drives 2008 Hyundai Getz. It's like a small tank on wheels. Very simple car made by Hyundai in India.

No they won’t and sales prove it...

@@djzulumask2138 Well, Genesis sales are tripling this year over previous years, and their selling thousands more units, so they're doing something right.

they need learn how to make more reliable engines

@@sybsygstgstsgysg5330 But they do make reliable engines. They make some of the most reliable vehicles on the market today. Why are you trolling?

@@greg.anywhere man do a quick google search and stop pulling numbers out ur ass....I like genesis,specifically this and also the g70 but they ain’t on anyone’s neck....and like I said,sales prove it...ei-numbers don’t lie...

Investments are the stepping Stones to success especially if you been guided by a professional

Investment is good but investing in the right thing is the actual key to success. how can i reach your pro?

That was exactly what I did, I trade with a professional stock expert "Tamara Diane Hagan " who i met in one of the seminars..

@Bridget Stone I have been able to make maximum profits off my trade with $40,000 and I have amassed about $190,000 in net profit In 4 weeks

The first time a saw one in a parking lot, I thought it was a Bentley. Seriously.

The v6s have a lot of get up and go tho. I got 2022 g70 3.3 and that bad boy flies. Ive test driven the 3.5 gv70 and its suprisingly quick

@@SAVAGEoLIFE It's not the power I'm after, it's the smoothness and sound of the V8. The V6 is just as quick but lacks the refinement a luxury car should have. If they wanted to go with a smaller fuel efficient engine, they should've gone with a straight 6, they're better balanced than a V so it'll be smoother but it still won't sound like a luxury car should.

@@MillionMileDrive i can understand that but i feel for mass market most people buying luxury cars dont care about speed or sound. Most just want a nice looking car with cool features. Thats why most people opt for the lower trims instead of the bigger engines. I do agree with you i woulda liked a v8 option for more power. But since they'll likely move to eletric in the near future i see why they weren't really tryna push for a more powerful v8

@Antoine Bruno sad to see nothing replaces that engine sound but it is what it is.

Agreed lol. WTF was genesis thinking. I've switched from JDM to KDM and the GV60 just aint it AT ALL. EVERY other Hyundai/kia/genesis I'm fine with. EVEN THE SOUL!!

@@ayushmalpeddi2793 Its an EV and yeah it is a bit blobby but im waiting to see it on the road.

I bet Genesis is saving the upgrade interior for the next generation G70.

2021G70 is just a face lift version.. maybe next time ;)

@@kfx3907 I love the current G70 but I hope the next G70 grows to about the size of a K5 or Sonata because the G80 is already bigger than an Avalon and the current G70 is awfully cramped.

Wow!

I’ll take your RX350

Well I don’t blame ya. Lexus needs to catch up. Aside from reliability Lexus are behind in all the segments. If you check car and driver website for the rankings of best SUV Lexus RX350 ranks 20th whiles GV70 is 5th. The RX is outdated.

Joe c... the rx350 is like my favorite though. Reliable, smooth, and decent get up!! But yeah, I feel ya on wanting this nice genesis!!

so you are going to replace your Toyota with Hyundai? Not sure if this is nice move

hahaha

I don't think so, the range rover actually looks good.

Yet Honda, Nissan, and Lexus keep resting on their laurels...

Calm down 😂

@@ajevthetruthisthetruthnotc8390… They certainly look great sat on the hard shoulder of motorways or sound absolutely amazing squeaking and rattling back to dealerships😉😉

And I love the nx but if you gave me a choice it’s the genny hands down

@Угон Харлеев the new nx interior is fugly. Exterior didn’t change much and is still a good looking car. But the gv70 is strides above the nx. And this is from someone who loves the nx.

@Угон Харлеев it does. That 14 inch screen that’s available on the nx is enticing. But there’s more than just a large screen. The interior design materials quality fit and finish luxury technology are all very important. The gv70 interior is just better in every way Also the nx350 performance is laughable. 275hp and 317lb ft sounds good on paper but unfortunately a cheaper Mazda CX-5 has the same power levels at a lower price and has a nicer interior and handles way better and it’ll eat the nx350 easily. Plus Lexus said it’ll go to 60 in 6.9 seconds Even the most powerful nx is still laughable. A rav4 prime or my v6 Camry performance wise will smoke any new nx and get better fuel efficiency

@Угон Харлеев 0-60 for the new nx is just 6.8 seconds. We already know that. They aren’t going to underrate their engines like the Germans do. On paper it’s not bad but the Mazda CX-5 will be faster have a better transmission, and handle better. Same goes for the Kia Sorento turbo or the Hyundai Santa Fe turbo. But I would just not get the new NX turbo. The only reason I would say otherwise is if it offers a unique power train, such as the v6 out of the Camry or Highlander.

They are also in front of lexus

@@naveenthemachine I agree!
