Nice review. You might comment on turning radius in the cars. It’s key to parking ease and for most folks parking is a an increasingly hard thing (more cars, aging).
Thanks man! The Tundra was at this even and I was set to get it, but the very first people that took it off roading ripped the front bumper off and toyota wouldn’t let me take any video of it! They had another one there and it was gone basically the whole time I was there. Hopefully I can get one soon!
For a 50k something car, I can’t get over how much piano black plastic and plastic in general they used. Especially that god awful dash - just a hunk of plastic. Really cheapens an otherwise good looking SUV.
I have the " Piano Black " considered going Carbon Fiber....HOWEVER the "Piano Black" NEGATIVE in your inane opinion is in Truth VERY nice clean and sophisticated in appearance especially with the DEEP Red & Black "F" Sport seats.
Man that's a disappointing interior, that dash looks so bland compared to last gen. Also sad how much noisier it is. That said, the exterior is definitely sleek and contemporary. But that interior could use some work... so sad they went with piano black finish on center console.
Yeah the interior feels cheap My Camry v6 XSE red interior feels nicer than this and it has a v6 that’s smoother quieter, more isolated, sounds better, and it’s faster. My Camry is much quieter than this lol

What is the point of a plug in hybrid? I cant see how that helps the environment plus I guess it costs money to charge it up, so this uses gas and nuclear/coal, I get the principle of a hybrid but maybe I'm missing something here???
@@edawg792 Sure I get that but its not that simple, it feels like to solve one problem we create another? I did some research and hybrids and electric cars come with a whole other load of environmental issues particularly in the manufacture and materials used and working conditions etc, its not so green as people think it is, also I'm not keen on the idea of all of these batteries left over at the end of life not to mention nuclear waste and coal being burned which will go through the roof in the next few years how do we deal with that problem I wonder? Its all moving so fast that it seems like nobody is asking these important questions but like everything they will do when we have another huge ecological problem on our hands for our kids to deal with...
@@rob5896 Battery technology and manufacturing can and is improving, but combustion will always require oil. Moving away from technologies that require oil is the only option humanity has long-term. Even right now in the early stages of EVs, they are far better for the environment than the continued extraction, refinement, and combustion of oil, and all the CO2 emissions.
@@edawg792 Well I guess doing something is always better than doing nothing, I just hope they come up with solutions to these new problems in reasonable time, perhaps next is solar powered charging into sea salt batteries???
Yes you’re right. I’m sorry about that. I had an issue with this in the past, figured out the problem, and the whole time I was at this event with several vehicles it seemed to be a problem again. My apologies
"...This new take on the NX is arguably the best compact SUV Lexus has ever built, but unless you're tied to the Lexus badge, there are better options in its segment.

Interior is disappointing. Looks tight and cheap, like a Toyota. I’ll stick with the Chevy Volt PHEV which gives me 60 miles of pure EV range and a 40+ mpg when on gas.
Our 2019 Volt has convinced me that at least for bow PHEVs are the best all around option. Now that we’ve got a kid we need more room in the trunk to fit a stroller so currently considering the RAV4 prime or this Lexus but otherwise love our Volt

Same here, I like this quick look, it has more info than I’ve seen on other videos
Gorgeous car! I have a 2011 450H that still runs perfectly, and am impatiently waiting the RX Re-design so I can trade mine in! Great review!
Excellent review. Not lengthy and verbose. ✅
Make sure to deep dive on government EV rebates, some $15,000 which drops the price considerably.
Thank you for the review. How much noisier was the road noise in the NX versus the Rav4 Prime? And which one was more comfortable driving?
The new NX is a huge step up from the last generation in my opinion
I agree!
Awesome ！ As a men ， That will be perfect car for me if it same Roomy with Rav4

Sadly, the panoramic sunroof or 17-speaker Mark Levinson option are not available with the plug-in hybrid.

good competitor to the American and Japanese Premium SUV´s.

For a 50k something car, I can’t get over how much piano black plastic and plastic in general they used. Especially that god awful dash - just a hunk of plastic. Really cheapens an otherwise good looking SUV.

I have the " Piano Black " considered going Carbon Fiber....HOWEVER the "Piano Black" NEGATIVE in your inane opinion is in Truth VERY nice clean and sophisticated in appearance especially with the DEEP Red & Black "F" Sport seats.
It’s actually $62k plus dealer markup

That said, the exterior is definitely sleek and contemporary. But that interior could use some work... so sad they went with piano black finish on center console.
More noise because of run flat tires!
Yeah the interior feels cheap

Sorry, but the Lexus NX450h is much faster than the the Camry V6 XSE! *LOL*
@@TheBjjones 0.2 seconds. That’s the difference

Can you put it in manual shift mode? So that you can shift from the stick instead of the paddles. My 2016 nx had that feature that I loved.
How many miles Can you go on a single charge before switching to gas?
36 miles
..................CHANGE out the Dog Eared Runflats to Michelin's and I get 49 miles per Charge on 120V
