Hi Brian , need your expert advice: I am considering RX 350h vs NX 350h. We are family of 3. Could you please suggest which one will be your pick? Which trim ? Is extra money for RX is worth it ? (I know it depends on personal preference but would love to know your pick). Thanks

I like the back, but they need to change the front, it's too feminine. The rav4 looks better than this and this is Lexus. They need to add 2" to the length.

You can ask the dealer to adjust the wiper more to the left! I did for my 2023NX350. Took a couple minutes! I found the wiper deicer didn’t work that great…sort of🤷‍♂️. I hate that the radar sensor freezes up and then the safety system doesn’t work. Why didn’t they make it heated?🤷‍♂️

Hello! I recently purchased a 2025 NX 350h premium. It’s advertised at 38 mpg highway and 41 city. When traveling on the highway, I average 38 mpg. However, during my daily commute around the city, I average about 36 mpg on eco and 34 on normal. The Lexus app tells me I drive excellent and I use premium gas. Can you think of any other reason as to why I’m not hitting the 41 mpg in the city? I live in Louisiana so the weather is far from cold at the present.

while hybrids are gona be more efficient whichever way you slice it, it does take certain habits/conditions to fully maximize and reach the advertised efficiency. Based on the app I'd assume you're already accelerating and braking gently, but maybe coasting more as much as possible could help. Heavy HVAC usage would decrease efficiency as well, and turning on s-flow and eco-heating/cooling could alleviate that a bit. I know some people prefer driving with the window down instead of AC but keep in mind anything over 40mph the wind resistance will significantly increase fuel usage. Lastly if your city commutes are short (less than 10min) then it'll be difficult to reach max efficiency since the engine took a third of that time just to warm up. Hope this helps

The back seats of the NX are a disqualifier for me. Legroom is virtually non-existent. You say you are comfortable, but you also state that you are merely 5'8". Compared to the Acura rdx competitor, I had to go with the rdx, for this, and other reasons (leather seats only come on the very top luxury trim in the nx). Acura also lets you get a donut spare tire as a dealer option. The minuses for the nx's run flats are too long to go into. I do love the incorporation of the display seamlessly into the dash in this nx. Many cars just have their screen stuck in the middle, like a pop-up tablet computer.

Useless Video! Would help if you could actually talk about the Cons as well and clearly lay out who the car is suited for and to whom it is NOT suited for, so a buyer can make a educated decision. Would single guys/girls feel comfortable going on long drives without a spare tire? Probably No. Run Flat works as a daily driver for work commute.

And the new GLC is even better : more autonomy, very nice interior lights and so many options avaialable. Overall many new cars overtake the NX450H+ Few month earlier, I'd have chosen something else : (

Premium is required for 350 (turbo). For the 350h and 450h+ they're "recommended but not required". I'm losing a (completely unnoticeable) bit of efficiency and power with regular gas but no where near enough to justify premium.

I considered this but went with a top spec CX5 turbo instead. After 10 months I still love it and everything works as it should. I preferred the slightly more traditional looking interior, hard buttons, conventional drivetrain and about 30k cheaper. If it shits itself I will try an NX like yours. The NX is a better built car but a CX5 still gets the job done. Excellent review and very helpful.

Hey, what happens when the Lexus subscription expire?...... do you just lose updates and traffic but still have the main function of the navigation, like other brands? Or do you lose access to navigation altogether? That would be a deal breaker for me...especially if the subscription is costly.

how is your infotainment screen holding up? I wiped mine a few times to get the finger prints off and it's completely scratched now. I'm not sure how you are suppose to clean it without scratching it. I am also surprised that the automatic braking and censor beeping only actually works on the back and front of the car. I have already ran into a guy in my blind spot by changing lanes and not seeing him, none of the safety features kicked in.

Mine seems fine I give it a quick wipe with a damp microfiber cloth every few weeks or so. I have also been told to never use any sort of glass/window cleaner on these touchscreens. BSM sensitivity/warning timing can be adjusted in the infotainment that might help as well.

@YBrianL that's good. Mine is pretty scratched. I talked to the dealership and they said you should use compressed air to blow away the dust particles before wiping with a micro fiber cloth and glass cleaner. If you don't blow away the dust particles wiping them will cause them to scratch it.

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.
