Hi
Midnight in the middle of America.
Looks like a 350z to me but that’s just a guess 😉
it is a Lexus sc coupe 2010 maybe
Rav 4 prime 0-60 4.6 second’s this is 7 seconds
350z for sure! like we can’t tell a Vq and the shape wasn’t nearly blurred enough
i can tell from the iconic v6 z sound
Or it could be a 370 🤷♂️
It's def a 350
Absolutely right
Slow down the video to 0.25 speed and the blur goes away during 1 or 2 frames @ 6:04.
Wifey snatched up a 21’ Venza limited a few weeks ago. The cabin is very nice, quiet and just very sleek interior and exterior. She’s been averaging 49mpg on her work commute. 80 miles round trip with rolling hills. Get about 560-580 miles per tank.
If you want luxury without breaking the bank to bad look into one. 52k OTD with the top tier warranty. Cheers
That's a good value if you're not power hungry.
2 years later, i finally received my 450h and honestly its amazing, they acutally listened to you guys and changed the 360 cam situation so it doesnt spin constantly. They also fixed the volume and drive mode situation so it doesn't block the entire screen and in the corner. Many other things like the hud control, and flipping through the menus become a lot easier once you start to daily it. Otherwise great car, i cant complain for city driving. Gotta give it to toyota/lexus for what they have done with this car.
I’m looking at this car and I didn’t know that they had fixed that. I’m really on a fence with the things that Yuri showed, as those seems to be small nuisances that scale fast in terms of irritability.
lexus back on track
looks to be the ultimate daily for most people, myself included haha
They were always doing well
@@ekgcanadianenthusiast9961 their interior was lacking and getting outdated. This new NX tho is something else
@@inosurrender8327 ok 👍
@@laloajuria4678 because hype from media and crazy tesla fan boys
I couldn’t agree more
I’ve owned this car six months and you guys nailed everything that bothers me about it but overall still love it
Yuri's points about the tech and interior design are super helpful. Thanks for the comprehensive review. Nice car tho.
Agreed!
not really. most people don't use radio/satellite radio. I can see older people being put off the changing buttons, but for younger people, it'll be fine.
@@NeutralGenericUser same. i strictly only use apple car play in my car. i don’t even touch anything bc else like gps. radio or anything. ur phone is better than any tech there is in the car. why would ppl still use the car gps? sure it’s helpful at places where you cannot get cell signal but that’s not gunna happen very often. no problem with the problems here
Good thing I ended it all with “if you only live in Apple CarPlay there’s no issues” because I’m a good reviewer :-)
@@TheStraightPipes You did, and you are a good reviewer. There's a reason over a million people, myself included are subscribed to you guys. I've watched pretty much every single one of your videos since 2018. Nothing I said takes away from any of that. I still love your content and will continue to watch it even if we disagree on some things. I just wanted to bring a counterpoint because the way you said you hated the system, I assumed the worst (since it's a new system) thinking it was plagued by lag/stability issues/etc., but luckily the problems are not significant. IMO, you guys didn't give Lexus enough credit from switching out of that old horrible touchpad. I know you're comparing to the competition and not past Lexus products, but I thought it was worth a mention at least. Anyways, thanks for the excellent work you guys put into these videos, and congrats on your new babies!
Lexus made it even more badass looking with all the details
Watched you guys the 2nd time, and I agree your review is great. I will order this car for my wife when it comes out in December. But you guys covered everything. Just want to say thank you1
Do you have room to adopt a son? 🥺Who can get this car as a handdown years later? 🤣🤣🤣
You're a good man... Lucky wife 🙏
*Hey bud! Thanks for the great info, as always! I showed a friend of mine (who is also a big fan) the pic of me with you and your lovely wife in Austin. He was jealous that I got to meet you!*
Nothing like watching a straight pipes video to start the day.
Morning here
Noon here
It’s 930 in Los Angeles, have a good day G!
Midnight here

I was just looking into pre-ordering this car and then my favs decide to drop the review. Haha nice
Tsp.truecar.com ☺️
Wait for the RX!
@@laloajuria4678 Model Y's interior and build quality doesn't compare to that of a lexus
@@laloajuria4678 Kia is great
@@laloajuria4678 As much as I love Tesla, I don't live in a house and the nearest fast charger is very inconvenient. Maybe in the near future.
LOVE the colors of that hoodie, Yuri! 🔥🔥🔥
This is on top of my list. I love everything about this.
Gosh I love the beats u guys choose 🔥💯
I love it, I just got a Jeep Wrangler 4xe and this car is definitely it on the list for my next car
Could you guys also do a test drive and review on Toyota Venza?
Thanks for the in-depth reviews always!
Big thanks from Québec Canada 🇨🇦
This is for the algorithm. Nice viddy!!
Finally they got rid of the previous infotainment system, the new one looks great!
It does LOOK great
@@TheStraightPipes LOOK
@@romairoblackstock5100 all voice recognition in cars is absolute crap and too slow. Why should I be forced to use a feature because what's supposed to work doesn't?
Voice is an addition, not a replacement.
@@romairoblackstock5100 Ha!
Oh ....it sux .. 😐
I have the Toyota version and I also love the car. Pretty damn quick and getting 500+miles per tank kicks ass.
This looks amazing
It’s obviously a 350z or 370z, and a good choice as a track car.
I second that 👍👍
I’d love to see someone use that as a track car
Also at 6:04 the blurr goes away for split second, it's a 350z
I was about to go to bed, but since this dropped I gotta watch first!
Keep in mind that all of Yuri’s complaints with the infotainment could possibly be addressed by Lexus via a software update.
Also it’s so obvious you got a 350Z, and congratulations btw
👍
Lol. Not all of it. The touch steering wheel buttons are solid state. When is the last time your Lexus got an update? Remember it's not a tesla that gets OTA updates.
@@randymulhern1290 This one can get OTA updates too
@@randymulhern1290 This one can get updates and even my moms 2016 RX350 gets updates
Software update a hard button and completely re build full format of radio screen. Doubt it
Seems that Yuri's mind was not in the game because he was dreaming about driving his track car :)
😂 😂 😂 True
Hes so negative i dont see a problem with his complains
At 11:35 you complain about the center screen going white when changing drive modes and the volume. Just wanted to point out that Lexus changed this behaviour with a notification that only covers a little bit in the top right. So well done, they listened to your review.
🥰 they still have a long way to go to make it good but amazing
Great video. Thank you
Hey....you guys took out the ending jingle 😟......that little musical jingle always brings a smile to my face. But great review as always.
Oh dope, that blue is great! This is one of the first vehicles outside of BMW that I have seen whose paint looks so similar to the Misano blue on my M2 CS. There are a lot of light blues out there but not many medium metallic blues; love me some good paint work!
Loved the intro music... Keep it for stylish vehicles
Excellent review boys! I definitely agree that comfort is a big benefit over the Rav4 (based on your experience), but if the Lexus doesn't have the 1500w AC plug in the back then it's a no go for me. Part of the magic of the Rav4 is being able to take it camping and have it power your trailer, or other camping needs with no drama. I also have a feeling that the Rav4 has more clearance, and space for decent offroad tires, making it more of an off pavement adventurer/ski car.
I really like the wheels on this particular NX!
The NX does look🔥🔥
👍💥
The NX has always looked good to me, this new one is awesome
I only wait for the straightpipes' signature visor test 👍
Definitely its the next level from all angles and it’s actually a beginning of new era for Lexus!
Next level!?
😂😂😂😂😂😆😆😆😆😆😆😆🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣😂😂😂😂🤣😆😆😆😆😆😆😆
Dream car right here
Staying till the end for the Algo!
Basically to sum it up. The nx is not worth it. Literally anything beats this
See yuri? I predicted that the nx would be dead on arrival and I even gave my thoughts and I was right. The nx disappoints
Lexus always have the best and amazing design!! 😎😎😎👍
I wish lexus couldve done an interior somewhat similiar to the previous generation, i loved that center control stack and all I wanted was just a new screen and a digital drivers display
Sounds like the IS is for you 😁
The new nx reminds me of the Camry interior wise but I personally love the Camrys interior design especially the red interior
@@faeinthebay well I think thought more of the extra since it’s a little closer to the old na and it’s also an suv
After getting rid of a 2016 F sport for a 23 Premium, I miss nothing about the prior model
The RAV4 Prime and this is really all the car 80% of humanity needs (most don't even need the luxury of the Lexus but some of us like to have really nice things). They'll last for 20 years and you wont even have to think about it; they just run.
they have to make the infotainment so difficult. I like the interface on my E53, the scrolling knob for volume is the first time I EVER used my stereo volume on my steering wheel. I love it.
Use voice controls!!!
Haven't used satellite radio in over 10 years now. Spotify is the best.
dropped my subscription this year for XM, Spotify only in my car, so much better
I agree. I use you tube music but it’s the same. Music. Podcasts. Personal playlists. XM radio is obsolete. And I leave my climate control on auto. Gets it right most of the time. Enough for me anyways
61km is just a little more than my daily commute. I like it.
Lexus is always my favorite car
I would take this NX over any of it's competition, even the RDX now that it's been updated. Japanese engineering is always the best!
I don’t agree about Japanese engineering being best. I’d take the Germans over this but I’d take this over an RDX
@@e70_x5_guy4 its ok you dont like it
i think the exterior looks weird. Even its brother Rav4 is better looking
I just got an RDX after buying many Lexus cars. I just can’t get excited about many of the Lexus cars besides the LC500 and RCF
@@rylandwhitaker2183 I can see that. Apart from the LC, IS, and RC Lexus’s are rather boring cars, honestly this is why I go with BMW’s. I drive a 2010 X5, I fucking love that car. It drives well, it’s well equipped, and it’s got tons of power. My one disadvantage is getting about 10 miles per gallon
Love that Blue Color on NX ❤
This is the first time I’ve caught a Straight Pipes’ review early. LOL Congrats on the new track whip, Yuri; love racing mine with that same engine. - Dope review as always, fellas! 🔥
Thank you for the honest review. Anyone who reviews this new NX and doesn't comment on the screen lag isn't being completely honest. Lag might be a deal breaker for me.
The good part there though, is it also comes with over the air updates! So (ideally) the idea should be that glitches can be improved over time 👍
@@TMish73829 Possible. In practice though, I haven't seen too many OTA updates for other tech products reduce lag much. The screen lag is increasingly a dealbreaker as the screen becomes a more and more integral part of the modern car.
So glad to be working on this beauty
Me too i built engines
@@Leah006 nice
Love the #JorgeCampos ⚽️ vibe on Yuri!! Cheers amigos 🇲🇽
As always, great review guys. The added complexity of the infotainment and steering wheel is bonkers! Auto critics need to keep being critical of this ridiculous behaviour. It will
lead to collisions and auto makers will need to be held responsible. Your reporting of the complexity will help make the case for outright negligence on the part of OEMs who design cars to try to compete with iPhone and iPad rather than keeping the fundamental operations of the most basic controls as simple as possible so as to eliminate unnecessary distractions!
Funny thing is that the RAV4 Prime has a fully functional infotainment system.
Did you complain about bmw as well on that video too or is it pure coincidence that you HAD to bring it up on a lexus video?
how hard is to fix with a software update? not a deal breaker
Looks like a great car
I own the 2016 NX and this fixed everything that was wrong.
Most awaited review, love the brand but you are right they have integrated laggy infotainment and other complexity and glossy black instead of Matt or grains. But, the car looks really good overall.
The infotainment itself is not laggy just the climate controls.
very nice~! 60 kms E-driving is awesome for hybrid suv~!
it seems like the problem with the screen turning white when changing drive mode and adjusting volume are only in your review model.. seen other reviews and they dont have that..
or maybe it is exclusive on the canadian model as most reviews ive seen is US version? if so, im pretty sure they will be updated as this is only a pre production model
13:17 WOW that is really cool! the car becomes transparent in 360 view :) sweet!
Bring back #40’s-on-4! (XM before the SiriusXM days) As always, this review rocks! Rocks like #80’s-on-8 🤣
That theme song is everything! #dope
I really hope we can have 450h on the ES too, I will get one.
Pretty nice looking suv
Ahhhh the luxury version of the RAV4 Prime, niiiiice
So . Audi q3 is a vw . A3 is a golf . A1 is a polo. Q2 is a t roc. TT is a last gen golf. Q7 and q8 is vw .so list goes on.
Bring back the jazzy music at the end, its a TSP signature!
Did the car you review have the f sport adaptive springs? F sport seems almost the same price in the states so I think that seems like the more worthwhile version.
good info about "manually" going from Carplay to audio functions. Did you try voice commands? MIGHT work well and be much easier. "Hey Lexus, play Sirius 44"
New generation tundra is coming out soon. My dad has been holding onto his 2006 tundra all this time and is thinking about getting the new 2022 i-force max TRD Pro. I hope you guys could get a review on it when it comes out!
Sick suv i would love one
Excellent
40s junction is the SieiusXM radio station for 40s music and it's amazing!
Oh heck ya
So is this a refresh of the NX or is this a new generation? Because the standard hybrid we drove in 2018 wasn't really that much of a pleasure. Suspension wasn't great and the drive train sluggish. Have they changed the suspension?
Nice sweatshirt !
Please do a IS500 review! :)
I want the soundproofing from this, in a Rav4 prime, but nothing else
post notifications coming in handy here
You can use voice commands to get to specific radio/sat station. Don’t need to use touch screen. But I do hope they update the “clicks” to get to it.
That color 😍
When it comes to the infotainment interface Lexus giveth with getting rid of the trackpad but Lexus also taketh with all the annoying issues and whiting out the screen when you adjust the volume may be the stupidest thing since capacitive touch controls. Also, Yuri and Jakub, what's your take on the new unintuitive electronic shifter?
I think you can tell the car what you want it to do though, they didn’t even cover that part. Like all you have to say is “Lexus go to home page” “Lexus switch to Apple play”
Sweeeeet Intro!!!!!
Nice car
Welcome to Dallas!
That mark ronson album though! >>>
Bring back the ending music!!! I miss the saxophone!!
I think this channel is the only one on youtube that focuses this much attention to radio stations. lol
Good. At least we’re different.
do a review on the 4 cylinder camaro 1le!
Tip , you can show charge status on a call by pressing back button
Upvoted immediately because of the Teddy Fresh
Just can't get past the Lexus Darth Vader mouthpiece on the front of the car that they've gone to last few years. Excellent review is always 🥰
the sound gave it away immediately lol
Yuri, where did you get that dope hoodie?!
Holy crap u guys got a new Nissan Z, sweet. All hail the manual transmission.
This will be as hard to buy as the Rav4 Prime too. Good luck getting one guys…
15k more you can get a RX450g Fsport 3 which would you choose?
Man, I was really hoping they put the 3.5l V6 hybrid drivetrain in the NX when I read the title :D
What a freak
Absolutely love the NX. Please Lexus, hook me up! 😎
Looks good
Is the Model S Plaid not available in Canada? I'm surprised you guys haven't gotten in on the hype
They don't have pipes
Fair enough
Sooo, would you guys rather buy a Rav4 prime or NX 450h? Wondering if Lexus seats can be installed into Toyota Rav4.
The grill reminds me of the classic money 💰 bag shape. The Lexus badge should be the money $ symbol
Kind of wonder how the panels shifter perform does it hold gear and shift when you want to? Or it has mind of its own?
