    Happy Friday guys! We first want to thank Keeps for sponsoring this video, be sure to go to keeps.com/redline to get 50% off your first order! As good as the new Lexus NX is... and it is a HUGE improvement over the previous generation. The turbo engine is a big upgrade, but the lack of space on the inside and just a lack of an overall "wow" factor, keeps us from fully recommending the new NX over competitors like the Genesis GV70 or Acura RDX. The German offerings are also still great options and we think Lexus has caught up to those, especially with the electrified powertrains. The NX is still a good option, but its just a solidly mid-pack option, but hey that is exactly what some buyers are looking for :)

      I told you the gv70 and Rdx have objectively obliterated the nx before anyones even driven it. The fact that it’s not even class competitive even compared to the cx5 or tuscon or venza or Santa Fe or Sportage it shows that the nx is really really lackluster😂

    It annoys me that Sofyan always throws the GV70 and GV80 in these reviews as a “step-up” in the category. Having owned a GV80 Prestige for over a year…. they have a lot of bugs to work out. The tech is glitchy, the hvac system was glitchy, the nav was glitchy and worst of all…. the V6 TT was not that great in temps below -25 celsius. On top of that…. overall brand experience sucked! I would not put Genesis in the same category at all. They look great inside and out but that’s where it stops.

      I agree 100% with you! The first time I ran into that confusion was with the Camry; even within a trim I found out that there were multiple options. For example, if you wanted an SE you’d see one with a moonroof and another SE that was totally missing a moonroof; one with incandescent flashers and another with LED flashers. It was a crazy mix and match situation going on. Same confusion was in the Lexus lineup.

    Overall I like it. However, Lexus is starting to cut cost where they shouldn't. I spotted more shared Toyota components than older Lexus models. There are mainstream vehicles(Mazda CX5 Signature and Hyundai Santa Fe Caligraphy) that aren't that far off the package this vehicle offers for a lot less. I think at $48000 to $50000 this particular model makes a case for itself l, but at $55000 I would get the GV70 or fully loaded RDX.

This model DOES- NOT have a TURBO...But rather, a Naturally aspirated / Carb...........(important because it is well known that TURBOS stress engines)...simplysaid: see euro cars shop time!....this car combines the Elec Batt and engine to achieve *89 miles per Gallon in Hybred mode with HIGH torq, And VERY quick out of the hole...Jus' blew the doors off a 735i beemer...albeit for only a block ...( I am no dummy a V* will eventually pass many cars in the long dist. (in all fairness)......However, who cares the thrill is initial take off and tickets are for high speed & SPEED...Kill's! My car has Red Calipers against Powder coated Gloss spoke Black mags and All red "F" Sport Badges........
    FAR better built than euro's (mine built in Japan) sadly, new releases are now being made in Canada! Like USA Union shops...no one gets fired for a hang over and bad work??? maybe)..... However, Lexus is Far more reliable...Far better Re-Sale that Euro beemers or mercedes.......indeed mine has Gone UP in price...Not many cars you can find Like that!... IF YOU CAN FIND ONE ANYWHERE do grab it!......"econ 101".....Has (3) elec. motors gett'n 0 to 60 in 5.6 sec (road and track) HIGH torque QUICK out of Hole!......Never do I use gas..... gett'n 42 miles per 120 Volt charge and NEVER USE GAS....and almost Silent operation in elec....So do your research......as this is Far better than any European beemer or mercedes that are depreciating the moment you drive off the lot BIG TIME!

    The sad part is I feel Lexus wants the NX 350h as their volume seller, likely to cater to the demand of greater MPG in this day and age, but it terms of powertrain refinement and power the NX 350 with this 2.4L Turbo is the superior choice over the somewhat buzzy 2.5L Hybrid setup of the former. The 350 also gets a permanent AWD system with a default 75:25 torque split whereas the hybrid usually just powers the front axles for greater MPG.

      @@naveenthemachine Your lack of automobile knowledge is astonishing. The Porsche beats the NX in handling, acceleration and braking. That is not the sum of any vehicle. It does not beat it in price, quality, reliability, technology, safety features, quietness, value for the money, fuel economy performance. The Macan doesn’t even have a remote start 🙈. On the track the Porsche any day. The real world is totally different.
