I was back and forth between the RDX and NX , ended up with the 2025 NX F sport in this exact color . I had roof racks added, got the Mark Levinson speakers , don’t have the panoramic roof but did get the moon roof and no heated seats or heated steering wheel because I live in country that it’s over 75 degrees and higher all year round . I had the opportunity to study both cars up close from other family members, so even though both are amazing beautiful cars it came down to that driving experience in the NX felt better in our roads, the interior is beautiful and looks top notch even tough I would have liked to have the couple extra inches that the RDX has but since most the time it is used only for myself and my husband , I do not really need that space. I feel the RDX is do for a face lift , even though it is a beautiful car , it felt to me a little old and I really do not like the position of the screen which makes it look smaller in my opinion and that touch pad should go. In the NX I wish they would have put the start button lower , where it is ,doesn’t feel normal. Lexus being from Toyota as RDX is Honda are two very reliable vehicles so the biggest reason that I picked the NX over the RDX is the resale value is better and that I was attracted more to the Lexus overall style even though the RDX pricing is much better. Well I guess it is a more a matter of personal preferences because you can’t go wrong with either of the two.
Both reaaalllyyy good options! I think you picked the right one, simply because the Acura is kinda long in the tooth right now. Great ride, just becoming dated! Congrats on the Lexus!!
Great review. I'm cross shopping this (Premium or Luxury trims) against the RDX Aspec. This seems so much more luxurious, and I'm an older guy and I'm looking for luxury. I know that the RDX comes in less sporty Trims than the Aspec, but one thing I really like about the Aspec is the red dials for the speedometer. But all of the negatives outweigh the things I like. I've (thanks to RUclips) heard of so many issues with the RDX, rear glass just kind of exploding, creaks and rattles, the dreaded touch pad, the push button shifter. I hate the Push button shifter. I drive a Mazda now, so the touch pad shouldn't be an issue for me because I use a Command dial on my Mazda, but still. Not a fan of the touch pad. For me, the NX checks off all of the boxes. Good luck with your channel, and I'll be on the lookout for more of your reviews.
I would have to say that Rdx makes better use of the sapce and is few inches bigger. Toyota/lexus knows how to make their car look bigger than it is with their designs.
.......Hmmmmmmmmm? SADLY you did Not review the FAR & AWAY Better model of the LEXUS....i.e. the NX 450h+ "F " Sport model!... The interior alone color is Not as vibrant on the model you chose as the CIRCUT RED color is much richer deeper RED color.....to say nothing of the Much more power of 306 HP and *** NO TURBO *** Yet the 450h+ F Sport is Naturally aspirated w/ 3 elect QUIET Ride motors uses 120V charging for 49 miles per charge gets 89 eMPG ALL on REGULAR GAS ...your choice on the 350 REQUIRES PREMIUM GAS because of the DOG noisy TURBO! The 450h+ F Sport has the GREAT ADAPTIVE SUSPENSION........Sad you got the CHEAP MODEL!!!

I wouldn't disagree!

Honestly, the RDX is just a more compelling package overall. This is just kinda meh. Nice interior though. Awesome review per normal DownshiftPass!!
The interior IS great!! Thanks for watching!!
