If you want a luxury SUV that's a conventional hybrid, this Lexus is your only choice out there and its a good one! Let us know below if you feel other brands should also offer a traditional hybrid in the luxury space.
@@rightlanehog3151 a friend of my has a Hyundai hybrid he got stuck in the highway because at -2 motor stalled. He took the car and he was told maybe was a too cold day.
Just bought one 2023 NX350h a week ago. Excellent and very quiet. I own previous 2 Lexus, this is a third one. All excellent condition and very reliable.
Thank you for pointing out that the NX 350h is much quieter than the RAV-4. I have been scouring the web looking for this info and so far you are the only source. As an owner of an ancient CRV, I am looking for something that is not only economical but also much quieter as I do very lengthy road trips and love to listen to podcasts and music without relying on my headphones.
Love our 23’ NX350H, OTD $45k including $2k of options we actually wanted. Hoping for RAV4 hybrid or Venza but it wasn’t available even at the $42k Toyota was asking, so it was a no brainer when it popped up out of the blue at my dealership!
You really lucked out, because I live an a huge metro area and haven't even seen an allocation at any of my local dealerships for a 350h under 51,000 MSRP. Basic 350h's are just non-existent.
@@jml9550 the old scam. Pay more money get less. My 15yr old Lexus gs has real leather and a v6. I'm jumping to the GV70 soon as they have my color since Lexus wants to gouge me
Very meaningful, I've had two ES hybrids and love, love the performance of an excellent hybrid set up; the style just got old. Will purchase NX 350h after my S60 T8 plug in lease ends. What a drag, plugging in and going to gas station. The math just doesn't work for the price difference in Volvo or Lexus plug in. Less room in NX (and RX) than our Outback Touring but doesn't seem Outback has a conventional hybrid in the near future. We'll keep Outback for extra room when needed. After 4 Lexus models I'm just a Lexus buyer I guess.
@@naveenthemachine I thought the same thing until my local Toyota dealers are charging 5-10k over msrp. So they’re now more than the NX. Im choosing NX over Rav4
As a 450h+ owner in the same blue, a few comments: - The lights near the fogs are cornering lights, and are pretty great. They turn on when you use the turn signals or are in reverse. - The Charging pad is certainly problematic, I know they have a replacement/fix but don't know if this car has it or not. I've put a Magsafe charger there in mine which solved the issue, but isn't super elegant. I wish I had the ML audio and pano roof!
@@dude-yg9ez yep. Depends on one’s need. Our kids are driving age and we don’t need a midsize SUV anymore. If I wanted room I could get the new RX hybrid.
Fsport will definitely be my choice, too much tech is too much headache.This is updated and modern enough to my liking. And I've always been a huge fan of the design. Still think I'm the only one tho 😕 Great review again!! 👏
Yep, just hard to find (in Texas) with the color combination that I want, Atomic Silver with Palomino and the luxury option, power moonroof and power rear door opener. Other options can be added by the dealer. I'm patient, don't need the car and can wait for what I want, no compromises when you are spending this kind of money on a small SUV vs. the RX.
Excellent review as always! Just a quick question. How does the interior space of this vehicle compare to something like the Mazda CX-5 which I’m currently driving? Thanks!
WHAT KEEPS AMAZING ME IS THE LACK OF BETTER HYBRIDS. FOR INSTANCE WHY NOT A GREAT ICE ENGINE, AND IT DRIVES ALTERNATOR TO SUPPY THE BATTERY FOR THE EV MOTORS, BUT EMPHASIZE THE ELECTRIC 4X4 AND LESSEN THE PERPOSE OF THE ICE ENGINE, AND THE LARGE HEAVY BATTERIES. A GOOD MIX IN THE PROGRAMMING WOULD GIVE US GREAT PERFORMANCE, HIGH MILEAGE AND RELIABLITY. YOU REVIEWERS HAVE MADE THINGS HAPPEN BEFORE, WHY NOT GREAT HYBRIDS???? ORVILLE WRIGHT WAS CONSIDERED MAD AND CRAZY.
It's a shame I can't afford a vehicle like this because I really would like to have the nice seats, ride, and quiet attributes. And for this size and power, the MPG is very good...and would be the one I'd choose...again, if I had that kind of money.
@@mikej238 That is very true. Prices and availability are just junk right now. Fortunately, my current car is one I like a lot and is still going strong.
This should be the standard engine IMO they need to get rid of the 250 base model NX 🥴 Idk why they didn't put that 2.5L i-4 in a UX F Sport 250 that would be nice with about 209HP since the vehicle is much smaller.
Like your review of Lexus 350h. Do you feel the sound of the hybrid engine is similar to the regular 350 ? In your video the 350 h is very quiet when just riding around. Thanks.
It gets a lil noisier in the freeways on gravel roads. Not because of the engine, but because of the run flats and stiffer suspension. But on good roads, its quiet as a mouse.
6' here. I agree with you. As an owner I had to adjust from my normal position of upright to back rest reclined. Couldn't see the HUD otherwise. Also the seat itself doesn't raise or lower.
we are loving our new 350h ,our biggest concern is trying to get our second key fob ,anyone else with this issue . you spend 60k + and you cant even get 2 key fobs .big downer.
Lexus should be reaching out to you to let you know when you’ll get yours. I received my letter 2 months after buying my NX and they let me know I’ll receive my fob in September.
Very helpful video. Thank you. I am caught between an NX 350h 2023, and a Volvo xc40. Mostly want comfortable front seats as I have a bad back. And a comfortable interior. BUT these are so difficult to find! Any suggestions?
Don’t buy the Volvo! They are built cheap and owned by a Chinese company. The service and parts are much harder to get than a American or Japanese brand.
Stick with lexus. You can never go wrong. Volvo is owned by china now. Plus, high maintenance is not reliable as lexus plus great on gas I drive es300 lexus. Love it
Luxury package for $7500? Car makers are so brazen these days with price gouging. Lexus, as reliable as they are, are no different. Genesis, who original selling point was supposed to be value compared to their German rivals, is starting to do the same thing. The Lexus is still a good buy because of rock-solid reliability.
We did. NX hybrid Premium is definitely quieter than the RAV4 hybrid Limited that we test drove. The NX ride softer than the RAV4 as well and that says a lot with its run flat tire. If you switch out those run flats with let’s say Michelins, it will be even quieter than softer.
@@MotoAnthony not yet. It turns out my son can’t get his DL road test after he passed the written test, so we are looking at July or Aug. we are looking at both NX hybrid or the newly redesigned RX hybrid. But most likely the NX hybrid for the $11K saving. Yeah we will definitely swap out those RFs after they wear out, that could take a while since my wife only drives 5-6K miles a year. For longer trips, my 17 Lexus ES is more comfortable in terms of legroom and quietness.
I have both on order..because where I live it takes forever to get either one. The NX is noticeably quieter and rides better than the RAV 4. The price jump from a Ltd Hybrid Rav4 to the NX350H is not that big either
@@mikej238 My wife’s NX350H is on order too. Probably gonna take 3-6 months which we are ok with. Asked my wife if she wanted a RAV4 Prime or a Tesla Model Y, she declined both. Either NX or RX Hybrid, nothing else.
you must live in a shitty neighborhood. I haven't had a flat in 23 years. Even then it was a slow leak with a nail puncture. Drove it home for 2 hrs before changing it.
I love my '22 F-Sport! Only gripe I would say, would be the MPG'S. 16-19...MAYBE 20 on a good tank. Now, if it started at 20-23, shoot, up to 25. No complaints. But I still feel that's the biggest scam of the industry. What MPG'S they promise. It does come with run flats, and that of course, weighs the car down. So can't wait to see what I would get, when I slap some better riding tires on that bad boy!
For the added price, they NEED to add more sound dampening materials so it sounds more like a Lexus! Not sure about the previous years but seems like they FORGOT to put sound dampening materials on the 2023 NX350h. Sounds almost like a freaking truck.
@@andrzejbudzynski9237 same in the US. Personally I will not spend $55k USD on a NX hybrid Luxury trim. We can pretty much get a decent spec RX Hybrid with a few $K more. That’s why we bought the NX h in base trim but still have the moonroof and other options.
Typical Lexus now way overpriced. Tons of gloss black & very cheap plastics, nickel and dime for every single option. I would pick a Acura RDX or a Genesis GV70 all day over this better value better quality better driving experience.
I feeel lexus N350h is like a rav4 but just overpriced and less utilitarian, the road noise is similar, the storage is less, and the drive feel is a bit better.
I totally dislike your review on this car you say it gets 39 mpg when the new rogue gets 37 mpg and again try to fool us with combine electric and HP are they both working at the same time how long can I go with electric motor and what speed and range?? And whats my range can I go with gas motor ???
@@jml9550 Its true. Most manufacturers have a certain variance for tire wear built in. You, like i have been, must have been within that safe spec so 1 was doable. I have also had to replace all 4 tires for being outside that spec.
I feel like there will still be a decent demand. Also the Toyota Tax will still be In full force. It seems like ICE will be the thing to want in a used car ie a plus.
@@RelicDavvi I agree that could be the case with larger SUVs, where people need it towing etc. However in this size and segment, I wouldn't be surprised if people move to EVs quicker.
56k? Ouch, that’s about 3k to 4k more expensive than the RDX fully loaded, paying extra 3k to 4k just to save on gas later on is questionable. Besides, RDX is quicker than this car by 1.2 seconds 0-60. Also, you don’t have to get A-spec Advance package of RDX, just getting a regular RDX advance can save you 2k which will make the price gap between the RDX Advance and NX350h even more.
You can even get the RDX tech package and still have it nicely equipped. You don't even have to go all th way up to the advanced package unless those extra features are important
Very true, the RDX drive much better. But you can can a moderate spec for $47K, plus this SUV gets 38-40MPG in the city. We are going to purchase the NX Hybrid for the MPG, she could get less about handle or 0-60. If I want that and not car about build quality, we could get a Tesla model Y for similar money.
Seems there is no difference between 22 and 23 NX 350h. Some complaints: the wireless charging pad is useless for iPhones with MagSafe. The lowest drive position is still too high for people above 6 feet. The big screen only shows one app at one time, the build in maps is not that smart.
Hybrids tend to get better gas mileage in the city than on the highway because at slower stop and go city traffic, it's mostly running off the electric motor. It's when you go over a certain speed that the gas kicks in.
As long as I’ve been watching and as much as I enjoy this channel, I’ve got to say - it’s starting to feel a little stale. I get you can only review the cars that are sent to you, but it seems we are seeing the same cars over and over again
@@naveenthemachine this NXH is only comparable to the Venza in term of size. The Highland and Camry Hybrid are difference size and segment. We test drove both NXH and Venza, decide to go with the Lexus even with about $5K more. We always buy cars in cash and keep it for 10+ years, so $5K is not that much for the span of time.

Yes, other brands should offer conventional hybrids but then again, Toyota/Lexus are the only brands who build a Hybrid system I fully trust.

I feeel lexus N350h is like a rav4 but just overpriced and less utilitarian, the road noise is similar, the storage is less, and the drive feel is a bit better.
I totally dislike your review on this car you say it gets 39 mpg when the new rogue gets 37 mpg and again try to fool us with combine electric and
HP are they both working
at the same time how
long can I go with electric motor and what speed and range?? And whats my range can I go with gas motor ???
0-60 isn’t really why you buy an NX
I have a 2021 Lexus nx 300h and it sucks. The ride is Terrible. I can’t wait to turn my lease in and get the new model

You forgot the venza hybrid as a competitor
To be fair, 1 tire failing leading to replacement of all tires is common to awd vehicles, not just this one
@@niuhuskieguy really, we have had AWD in the last 20 years and had one flat, didn’t replace all 4 tires for sure.
@@jml9550 Its true. Most manufacturers have a certain variance for tire wear built in. You, like i have been, must have been within that safe spec so 1 was doable. I have also had to replace all 4 tires for being outside that spec.
@@niuhuskieguy True and especially vital with run flat tires. 🛞
Anyone think this model will loose out to EVs? especially in a few years when it comes to resale value.
no
I feel like there will still be a decent demand. Also the Toyota Tax will still be In full force.
It seems like ICE will be the thing to want in a used car ie a plus.
@@RelicDavvi
I agree that could be the case with larger SUVs, where people need it towing etc. However in this size and segment, I wouldn't be surprised if people move to EVs quicker.
If it's loose, tighten it. Maybe you mean lose.

Got to pay almost 100k here. Too much money.
Australia goes the most expensive tax.
56k? Ouch, that’s about 3k to 4k more expensive than the RDX fully loaded, paying extra 3k to 4k just to save on gas later on is questionable. Besides, RDX is quicker than this car by 1.2 seconds 0-60. Also, you don’t have to get A-spec Advance package of RDX, just getting a regular RDX advance can save you 2k which will make the price gap between the RDX Advance and NX350h even more.
You can even get the RDX tech package and still have it nicely equipped. You don't even have to go all th way up to the advanced package unless those extra features are important
Very true, the RDX drive much better. But you can can a moderate spec for $47K, plus this SUV gets 38-40MPG in the city. We are going to purchase the NX Hybrid for the MPG, she could get less about handle or 0-60. If I want that and not car about build quality, we could get a Tesla model Y for similar money.
My 2019 RDX gives me 18-20mpg 😕 mostly highway!!
Please do not review Lexus vehicles..as you do not appreciate the brand or what it represents or Lexus Reliability
you sit in this and then sit in the GV70 and it's night and day. No wonder Lexus sales are down almost across the board
How many sales genesis vs Lexus?
Seems there is no difference between 22 and 23 NX 350h. Some complaints: the wireless charging pad is useless for iPhones with MagSafe. The lowest drive position is still too high for people above 6 feet. The big screen only shows one app at one time, the build in maps is not that smart.
Wheelspin with awd? Toyota has the worst awd with it's on demand crap
It’s way over priced should be maximum 35000-40000$ max for NX 350h maximum
59 percent of new Lexus NX buyers are female (vs. 47 percent for the segment), and the median age of an NX buyer is 61 years (vs. 60). JDPoweesteering
How could the car make 41 CITY and 37 HWY? It should be the other way around.
Hybrids tend to get better gas mileage in the city than on the highway because at slower stop and go city traffic, it's mostly running off the electric motor. It's when you go over a certain speed that the gas kicks in.
When are you going to learn you can’t brake torque a Toyota ecvt? This is your whole job right? Learn what you’re doing.
As long as I’ve been watching and as much as I enjoy this channel, I’ve got to say - it’s starting to feel a little stale. I get you can only review the cars that are sent to you, but it seems we are seeing the same cars over and over again
Ask for your money back.

Save money and get a Venza
This
How does it compare to other 2.5 hybrids on this platform? RAV4 hybrid venza hybrid Camry hybrid ES hybrid highlander hybrid sienna hybrid?
@@naveenthemachine this NXH is only comparable to the Venza in term of size. The Highland and Camry Hybrid are difference size and segment. We test drove both NXH and Venza, decide to go with the Lexus even with about $5K more. We always buy cars in cash and keep it for 10+ years, so $5K is not that much for the span of time.
Yes. Venza looks pretty good
@JML wrong. NX is smaller than Venza. Rav4 is the same size as this
Ugly designed car. Toyota has lost it's way.
Not much a hybrid.
Lots of plastic for a luxury vehicle.
What materials should be use?
