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
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.
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.
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@@ekgcanadianenthusiast9961 their interior was lacking and getting outdated.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
Lexus made it even more badass looking with all the details
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
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!
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
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
@@turtleonmeth1560 7:20 in sweden
I’ve owned this car six months and you guys nailed everything that bothers me about it but overall still love it
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 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.
I have the Toyota version and I also love the car. Pretty damn quick and getting 500+miles per tank kicks ass.
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
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
Definitely its the next level from all angles and it’s actually a beginning of new era for Lexus!
Next level!?
😂😂😂😂😂😆😆😆😆😆😆😆🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣😂😂😂😂🤣😆😆😆😆😆😆😆
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.
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.
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 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
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
*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!*
The NX does look🔥🔥
👍💥
The NX has always looked good to me, this new one is awesome
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
I love it, I just got a Jeep Wrangler 4xe and this car is definitely it on the list for my next car
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
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!
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.
61km is just a little more than my daily commute. I like it.
This is on top of my list. I love everything about this.
Yuri is the best looking car reviewer on RUclips!!
@@whitepepsi9903 im not wearing socks
After Micah Muzio
I mean if you're into Corey Feldman then..... Fuck yeah!
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 🙏
Dream car right here
Jakob, really wish you stayed with an Android so you could review Android auto as well! I miss the duo review you guys had from before..
Its always all about Apple.
Ditto! Such a shame; his AA commentary and stuff was one thing I always appreciated about their videos.
Jakub would have stayed with android… if they had a better camera
@@TheStraightPipes Pixel 6 Pro coming to the rescue 😉
@@Jemhadar it probably won't have native 24fps and Airdrop and stuff I use daily. I tried to stay with Android, not my fault iPhone did the things I currently need better
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.
Raiti: Damn, hope I don't go after StraightPipes🤔
Lexus: "You're going second"
Raiti: 😑
I’ll still watch Raiti’s review. Gotta see what snacks go where. 😆
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.
Lexus is always my favorite car
Liked it more than the RAV4 to be honest for the comfort and luxury.
Luxury ? XD
@@Ecuador006 ?
Lexus always have the best and amazing design!! 😎😎😎👍
comfort is worth is every time. You feel the comfort every single time you drive, and it'll only matter more on longer drives. Button and knobs? I'm a physical button and knobs guy, but I barely touch them when I drive anyway. I get in, phone auto connect and auto starts music, I only adjust for volume. If you pick buttons and knobs over comfort because you use them so much? maybe you should focus on driving more, or not drive at all.
So glad to be working on this beauty
Me too i built engines
@@Ecuador006 nice
Got the 2019 RDX and love it to death. Best car purchase I ever made shoutout straight pipes also fit three car seats in that bad boy no prob lmao. Now got this NX on my radar and hybrid fuel economy and super amazing suspension and comfort win win win. Love straightpipes reviews.
Keep the Rdx. It’s way better than the nx. Fuel economy is not Important
@@naveenthemachine in today's world of emissions laws and gas shortages, fuel economy does in fact matter.
If the RDX is so great, why would you consider replacing it just after 2 years of ownership? I mean, unless you love having money sucked out of your wallet in the form of new car depreciation...
@@TheHomeExpert5 never said I was replacing my Acura. Lmao. I’m not allowed to have more than one car?
@@artieartya well King Arthur, either way buying a new car is a great way to throw money away. What about an Acura ZDX? That thing looks better than any Acura or Lexus SUV that's been put out in the last 30 years. It's gorgeous.
I own the 2016 NX and this fixed everything that was wrong.
Could you guys also do a test drive and review on Toyota Venza?
Thanks for the in-depth reviews always!
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.
9:20 "They stopped making music that decade" 💀💀💀💀 u boys kill me
Hey....you guys took out the ending jingle 😟......that little musical jingle always brings a smile to my face. But great review as always.
This will be as hard to buy as the Rav4 Prime too. Good luck getting one guys…
Aww Yuri totally hates this car. I don’t mind it at all. Might even consider trading up my RAV4 for this!
The NX is literally just a RAV4 with more leather.
@@biglee13m 😂
Bc yuri is a Kia Hyundai fanboy
@@vsrap71 👍
Yuri is a “good infotainment” fan boy
13:17 WOW that is really cool! the car becomes transparent in 360 view :) sweet!
LOVE the colors of that hoodie, Yuri! 🔥🔥🔥
Big thanks from Québec Canada 🇨🇦
I was about to go to bed, but since this dropped I gotta watch first!
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
FINALLY. Toyota/Lexus coming up with faster cars (in hybrid form). One of the biggest reasons I hadn’t purchased from those manufacturers was how slow they were. I owned the Lexus CT200h at one point, nearly got me killed drying to merge into the highway.
You can clearly tell what car it is even when its blurred 😂
Shhhhh lol
Its tlx type s
Yuri big mad for this whole video
It's a hybrid but holy moly that grill is getting larger and larger
and Nicer and Nicer!
I only wait for the straightpipes' signature visor test 👍
This just proves the hybrid era is coming to an end. Most prefer fully electronic or a big combustion. Having a hybrid is like 2 in one shampoo conditioner, can do both but not the best at either
Gosh I love the beats u guys choose 🔥💯
Tip , you can show charge status on a call by pressing back button
Love the #JorgeCampos ⚽️ vibe on Yuri!! Cheers amigos 🇲🇽
I really like the wheels on this particular NX!
Last time I was this early, you guys didn't have kids 😱
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!!!
if there was no light going across the back, this thing would be absolutely stunning
I personally like that, each to their own of course
This thing looks absolutely stunning, in part because of that light bar going across in the back...
I think the front of the car is attractive, back looks fine too me. I’ve always liked Lexus’s spindle grill
Doesn’t look too different than the other models to me
@@BingBangBrine I think you may be in the minority there and that's fine ✌
Loved the intro music... Keep it for stylish vehicles
Guys, I'm sorry but no one cares about SiriusXM or radio anymore. To complain about that is wild
We’re complaining no home button. If you wanna add 5 clicks to your daily drive every-time U wanna change something go for it
At first I don’t like the design of it but seeing it in blue and outdoor I think I quite like it
Lexus still have to improve something
performance but thats alright.
@@romairoblackstock5100 performance, ecvt and the user experience. Their UI doesn’t seem very user friendly and a bit clunky. Still much better than previous gen
Crazy this used to be the official car of suburban grandmas
You can go up to 80mph on EV mode which is above the speed limit for freeways in the US. Don’t know about Canada
Bring back the ending music!!! I miss the saxophone!!
my opinion and observation is that people don’t ever exit car play unless they want to adjust the EQ and that’s really it.
So the whole infotainment is useless and just use Carplay?
@@TheStraightPipes on more pedestrian cars everyday cars I think so yeah, but then you showed how they added the cruise controls to the screen so that takes away my argument.
So I guess it would depend on how many functions they cram into the screen that don’t need to be. I have a 18 outback and I never use anything but car play and I’ve
Got friends with similar Japanese cars and they do the same. CarPlay is the primary for my circle of friends.
But we don’t have electric cars or hybrids that have more necessary settings in the screen. Love the video!!!
The reason I mostly use Carplay in new cars is because the UI is so bad.
This looks amazing
Love that Blue Color on NX ❤
Bring back the jazzy music at the end, its a TSP signature!
Since I do not sue car play or Sirius maybe this is the one for me! Unless Ioniq 5 or EV6 then you get it all except a bit of luxury.
Bring back #40’s-on-4! (XM before the SiriusXM days) As always, this review rocks! Rocks like #80’s-on-8 🤣
I own the 2022 450h+ F sport..In Atomic Silver Glows in the Sun Light with Lil" grey metal flake" and same Circut Red interior.. but with Electric battery...Has 306 Horse power 0 to 60 in 5.6 sec (Via Road and track at drag strip!.) This model DOES- NOT have a TURBO...But rather Naturally aspirated / Carb...........important because it is well known that TURBOS stress engines...simply see euro cars shop time!....this car combines the Elec Batt and engine to achieve HIGH torq, And VERY quick out of the hole...Jus' blew the doors off a 735i beemer...albeit for nly a block ...V* would have caught up in the end (in all fairness......However who cares the thrill is initial take off and tickets are for high speed & Kill's! My car has Red Calipers against Powder coated Gloss spoke Black mags and All red "F" Sport Badges........ It is FAR better built (mine in Japan) sadly the own if you can get them??? are Mfg in Canada!.....Lexus is Far more reliable...Far better Re-Sale that Euro beemers or mercedes.......indeed mine is going up in price IF YOU CAN FIND ONE ANYWHERE......"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 depreciating un reliable offering to say nothing of the GAS HOG unproven G 70, & RDX not worth mentioning. Z Best of the BEST F Sport 450h+ !
Let’s be honest how many people still listen to Sat radio tho lol
Please try the new 2.4t NX350 too!!!!!!!!!!!
Basically a luxurious rav4 prime
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.
Absolutely love the NX. Please Lexus, hook me up! 😎
The interior looks sick, I love it. Which makes me ask: why didn't they give the IS an all new interior like this one??
Lexus knows that more people would buy SUVs lmao. they don't care about sedans as much anymore
This is for the algorithm. Nice viddy!!
That mark ronson album though! >>>
The front of this car looks like a angry cat... I should know, I have a cat that always Chooses violence
I felt like I was the only one who thought the grilles on Lexus products all looked like the Predator mouth shape. It's still ugly, but this was definitely a helpful review. Thanks!
Nice car
I cannot get over this Picasso design language
This vehicle has won the wheel gap competition in over 200 countries.
😂
I really hope we can have 450h on the ES too, I will get one.
I dunno.. The negatives just kind of a nitpick kind of thing for me tbh.
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 🥰
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! 🔥
40s junction is the SieiusXM radio station for 40s music and it's amazing!
Oh heck ya
