2017 Lexus NX200t F Sport Review: An NX300 For $20k LESS?
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 27 авг 2024
- This week I drove the 2017 Lexus NX200t, a largely similar vehicle to the new 2021 NX300. I found this Compact SUV, even with its FWD and slightly short wheelbase, to be a competent and even pleasing vehicle to spend time in. Certainly an effortless driving experience. Furthermore, the 'F Sport' trim that this car had, supplied it with aggressive Lexus styling, and a chunky steering wheel inside. I also discuss why I believe it's a great choice USED at roughly $25k versus getting a new base RAV4 for the same money. Watch the video to see how it did on the TALL BOY TEST and to learn more!

This car is a far better choice than a new RAV4 base, interior much higher quality
AgREed
The badge is higher quality u mean? LoL
No way lol
OUR FRIENDS HAVE A RAV 4, THEY HATE IT IT RIDES LIKE CRAP. NOT EVEN CLOSE TO A LEXUS.
Just bought my 2017 nx 200t, I couldn’t be happier. After months of searching I finally found my perfect ride!
Happy for you! Enjoy it 😎👍
Thank you. I am looking at a 2017 right now and this has been the most useful review that I have seen online
Picked up a 2017 fully loaded F-Sport NX200t yesterday. Great car for less than half the price of a new one.
How much you paid???
@@dipin2 $19k
Hi, does your model has the head s up display? The blinds spot monitoring system? Or are these features available on the 2017 f sport?
@@darifrantz6536 I have blind spot monitoring, but no heads up display.

Awesome review, the pictures showing the differences are gold 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Thank you!!!
I think this car looks best in black.
AgREed
I agree!!!!
Silver!
I spent a month doing research on NX 200 T and RAV4 hybrid. I’m glad I chose Lexus. Although this model is not hybrid given the current inflated hybrid car prices you would end up saving lots of money on buying a full gasoline vehicles versus the potential gas saving on a hybrid car. This car is very fast and super super comfortable. 400 miles drive between SF and LA doesn’t bother me anymore. I am getting 28 mpg in average, which is super great for the size of SUV. Obviously, the tech aspect of this Lexus is bad just as everyone says, but you will get used to it and it doesn’t really bother me. I personally like the analog interface. Speed gauge, tachometer, music system, they are all intuitive.
Came in here for this info. Very informative. Thinking about buying her this exact year and model. Thanks 🙏 brother!
Gotchu!! Good luck with your purchase 😎
great review, short to the point and showing things an actual buyer wants to see and know. looking to get this car next month.
I appreciate that! Good luck on your purchase, the NX truly surprised me with how competent of an SUV it was, quite a bit better than even the RX
@@Reoniz that turbo will eventually break and cost alot. And the nx is to slow vs RX350 has more power and height.
@@angelbluerider9588 LOL
Just bought one! I love it! I hate the digital clock too! The seats feel like soft butter so comfortable.
Congrats!!
@@Reoniz Thank you!
I'm driving this car here in zimbabwe but I never saw someone driving it so far it's been 4 months....at traffic lights all eyes are on me😊
I got a 2018 rav4 xle 6 months ago and just traded it in for the 2017 nx 200t f sport. I’m obsessed with it.
I got it in white with the black trim and red and black interior. It was so worth the money!
Happy to hear that! Both great cars, but the Lexus feels simultaneously more luxurious and sporty
@@Reoniz oh yea for sure! It’s so much quieter and has more get up than my rav4! Worth the extra money!
@@chelseabelle4041 🚙💨
Is cargo ok? Isn't the rav4 cargo larger?
You brought up some video good points about this car, especially about the value you get compared to other cars on the market. I have been a owner of this car for several months now and I love it. My only regret is not driving a lexus sooner but I am extremely happy with it now.
Great value, and a car that will definitely last quite a while on the road, drive safe!!
Thank you for your insight. After reviewing Q5's and their amazing features, repair costs on the Q5 outweighs the Lexus brand.
Great review, bro. Pretty objective, considering you own the competition. 👍
Haha thank you! Always trying to balance objectivity with a little personal opinion, I’m just an enthusiast!!
Thank you ....Good unbiased review.
Respectable!
Appreciate it!
WE OWN A 16 NX200T, JUST TURNED 7,400 MILES, JUST LOVE IT, IT MUST BE ONE OF THE
LOWEST MILEAGE 16S IN ORANGE COUNTY , CA. WE PAID 41.5 OUT THE DOOR, JUST LOVE IT.
OURS HAS A SUNROOF THOUGH, NOT SURE WHY THIS DOESN'T., IT'S NOT AN F SPORT, IT HAS AN
UPGRADED RADIO THOUGH, NOT A LEVENSON ONE , IT SOUNDS LIGHTS OUT.
Watched your video and ended up getting a 2017 Lexus NX200t f sport over the Rav! Really happy with my decision!!! love love love the heated seats and heated steering wheel!
Hell ya!! Congrats 😎
I am looking at this car now. What was your mileage if you don't mind me asking? I am trying to find a low mileage NX200t
I ended up getting a black awd as my daily ride I had the rx450h before. I like the NX but size and quality is much higher in the RX. This does the job well. I don’t have the heated steering but I got the heated seats 🤣
@@petehatzi921 yes considering the GX or LX maybe in the future!
@@Reoniz thanks so much!!
Analog clock - classic, understated, instant-read. (Easier for those who grew up w/ analog and no digital option.)
I totally get where you’re coming from, but I guess I grew up with digital clocks and they’re so easy to read at a glance (in milliseconds)
@@Reoniz No argument. It's like a foreign language - easier to communicate if you started when you were young.
Videos: starts
Him: Kon'nichiwa
Me: closes video
Cool story!!
No way you finding this under $20k
Excellent review just subscribed my only input is that the nx200t has a much smaller cargo space than the Rav4, visibility is not the greatest it uses premium gas as oppose to the reg. Gas on the Rav4, Rav4 roof is much higher and that mousepad is horrible, I own both by the way '21Rav4 and '17Nx200t
Thank you sir! And yes, I drove a couple RAV4's since making this video and I agree with your input!
Right on man. My bf is trying to talk me out of buying this car and get a RAV4 instead but that Rav can add up to being more than this car with less features
This can definitely be solid choice used vs a new RAV4! Both are reliable and nice SUV’s!
Rav4 should have shared this 2.0 turbo engine at least. Its underpowered as it is. Even the USDM models are lousy power output.
@@midlifeparty I've heard the same, I need to drive/review a new RAV4!!
Awesome review! my thoughts exactly
Thank you!
Great review. Earned a subscriber 👍
Thank you!
Good review showing pictures differences.
Thanks for your review, is shorter wheelbase more sportier? I was looking for review for this car doing 0-100Km but not in here........
No problem... these aren't all too sporty if I'm being honest. But the standard 4 cylinder is a lot quicker than the hybrid 300h model!!
@@Reoniz Thanks mate, don't worry, not in my life time that I will go for the Hybrid or Electric. Your review is really good specially I like those half old half new side by side pictures, Cheers!
@@patriot0919 thank you for noticing that, cheers!
Hi, does your model has the head ups display? The blinds spot monitoring system? Or are these features available on the 2017 f sport?
german cars = endless money pits.
- Scotty Kilmer
Lmaoo I still love em though
I might be wrong, probably am wrong, but I thought the 300 has a little more sound insulation compared to the 200.
What Lexus you in? It has a moonroof
Lmaooo 😂😂
Touchpad vs knob which one is the best and which one is modern ?
Hella helpful review
Thanks pardna!! 🤠
Very nice car,I'm happy with it
It reminds me of a nice cx5 with a Lexus front grill. Does it drive as sporty as a 2.5 cx-5
You know I haven’t had a chance to drive the cx-5 yet myself, but I’ve heard their overall driving experience is similar, and that much of the difference is exterior styling and interior tech... gonna have to drive one and confirm :)
@@Reoniz Thank you I appreciate the response. My wife likes the CX-5 sport and, I like the sporty driver experience. I think the cars are really comparable.
They really are, and I think they’re equal enough that it’ll just come down to personal preference. Maybe driving both and comparing prices as well?
Cant compare a cx5 vs a lexus lol. Lexus will be way more reliable vs hyundai lol
does the cockpit feel cramped? im dwelling whether id go with the rx or the nx 2017
Not from what I remember. I actually think the NX has a spacious interior for the segment !
When I had my Lexus RX I remember it being very quiet. They are good cars overall but I prefer German cars
Overall I do too, this was surprisingly pleasant to drive though
Based on a accident experience, if you are spending a bit more. You will keep your car and enjoy it, reason accident. Most of the 2017 nx models doesn't have a fcs( automatic breaking system) . If you are in a frontal collision you gonna lose your value of your car, so spend a bit more and have a safe journey....unless you just don't care about safety but the luxury name....
That's understandable!
Thank you!
You got it!!
Are you quoting American 🇺🇸 or Canadian 🇨🇦 prices? Only front wheel drive? 😦
I’m quoting USD!! And the NX does come in AWD, for an additional $1500 when new, I’m sure used prices roughly maintain that delta!
@@Reoniz Ooh, rapid response! Appreciate you!
Does the rear passenger windows go all the way down?
No they don't !!
Bro do the Acura RDX 2019
Gotchu!
How's the turbo holding up any issues?
Not my personal car, but I believe she's still running great!!
@@Reoniz ok thanks
@@newbassplayer4005 gotchu! Lexus has just about the best reliability of any luxury make 😎
@@Reoniz I know; I owned gs400 and ls430 over 13 years. I just didn't know about the turbo engines if it's reliable or not, thanks.
@@newbassplayer4005 understood, I haven't heard of too many horror stories with these new Toyota based turbo motors. You should be fine thru 150k
This competes with an RDX, not an MDX
That is correct!
12 Tall boys??? damnnnnn
🤪
Hoooo my gawd
Hoooorah
$20k or less? Let me know if you found one
It reads "$20k less" not less than $20k... besides this video was published well before the car market boom of 21'
@@ReonizI am looking at one right now for $22k at under 80k miles
German cars blow...always
I think it's time to update your profile picture and ditch the mask!
The NX competes with the Acura RDX. Not the MDX. The MDX competes with the Lexus RX 350 L. Good review though.
