Great review mam, I’ve never watched seen any of your videos before and I have to say it was very informative, I feel you covered every aspect of this vehicle, they haven’t arrived in Ireland yet, when they do I’m trading in my Lexus is300h for a hybrid NX as the other engines don’t interest me.
Regular hybrid is my choice. Even with the tax rebate, the plug in is still about $8000 more than regular. If the vehicle is kept 5 years, how much money can you save compare to the regular hybrid? 6 second vs 7.2 doesn't seems to be important for a family use car
@@CarCoachReports after further consideration even the hybrid is a tough sell Because you can get the same mpg on regular gas in the more practical rav4 hybrid limited with the same luxury features, or you can get the Toyota Venza that gets the same mpg as the rav4 but it’s cheaper and more luxurious inside
Love the new NX! I’m still driving my 2010 RX after 11 years and I’m still enjoying it! Would like to keep it another two or three more years and then maybe I’ll look at the new NX. Correction though, Lexus vehicles have four year 50,000 mile warranties, not three-year 36,000 mile warranties. Also I thought all the NX’s are being built in Canada except for the 450 H plus which will be built in Japan
Does the NX 350h require premium or regular fuel? The old NX hybrid did not require it. Also, why get this over the Venza hybrid? Many call the Venza very Lexus-lite...thank you!🚙
Thank you for such informative and detailed review of the new NX. I’m loving everything about the new design. Any idea when they will be available at dealerships? I heard they could arrive in Q1 2022 which is faraway imo. Thanks again.
@Car Coach Reports ... Thank you. So the GLC has a more comfortable suspension while the NX has the more quiet cabin? Now that makes it a tie then 🤣 I have the GLC right now and I'm thinking of trading it in for the NX for more features, but I don't want to lose the comfortable ride of the GLC. I really need to think this over. Will probably just test drive the NX250 to see how I feel about it.
You know what irks me? They omit the panoramic roof and Mark Levinson sound system as options from their TOP tier model... the 450h+ F-Sport. I'm just going to wait for the mid or last model year of this generation to correct some of these gripes, God willing.
Solid review, but you keep referring to different engines as "trim levels". Trim level would be F-sport, Luxury, whatever. Regardless, enjoyed the review quite a lot. I am torn between the 350h and the regular 350.
You KNOW I love your thorough reviews! I am car shopping and while I love the Lexus concept (of luxury), I have found them, as you said "uninspired and vanilla" in today's market. I just received the NX brochure and the 2022's have stepped it up. However, I'm disappointed that the passenger seat isn't equally comfortable and that there isn't a massage option. Also that there is no rear seat climate control center. When I think of LUXURY, Lexus comes to mind. But they miss the mark compared to other vehicles and it's sooo disappointing. Lexus are built to last (I have a 20 year old in the garage!) but they're missing the details I love in the Corsair and GV70. Thank you again Lauren!
There are only a hand few compact luxury CUV's that have massaging seats and most of them are not that good, the one in the GV70 comes to mind, it is simply like an air bladder that moves in and out and after a while, it can get uncomfortable, I would rather skip that option if I was buying a GV70

That’s what I was wondering. I think Lexus knows reviewers will not approve of the 250 as a luxury vehicle. It has the same engine as my RAV4 XLE, not fast but a good engine. The 250 is a glorified Rav4. Don’t get me wrong I do like my RAV4 and the great gas mileage but would I pay $12000 more for a nicer interior and Lexus badge, probably not. I believe my RAV4 has more cargo room than the Lexus too. That being said, I do like the styling of the NX.

I just purchased the NX-350h, and I love it. It is my third Lexus and second SUV. I feel very safe with this auto and in love with the technology.

I’m considering the NX 250. The 350h and 450h don’t compensate their higher price for me even with the better MPG.

Hi. Can you feature some gray color handbags ?
It’s really hard to find true gray color bags.
