[4K] 2024 Lexus NX350h Owner's Long Term Review - Post Honeymoon Blues?
My one year long term review of the Lexus NX350h, covering my winter experience and also revisiting the driving dynamics, tech, luxury, and practicality. While the NX hybrid is far from perfect with some questionable design oversights, I still firmly believe it has very strong fundamentals and offers compelling value for any luxury compact SUV buyer.

    Thanks for the great review, Brian. I just bought a 2024 NX350H and like it a lot, except for the run-flats, which I've had before on another car and what you describe is what I expected. I was wondering if you will continue to use the 18 inch wheels with your summer or all season tires if you get rid of the run-flats? Some say that 18-inch tires like the 235 60 18s are great for a smoother ride while the rough spots, potholes etc are felt a lot more with the 235 50 20s. Thanks again.

      it's my first Lexus product so I can't really speak to the material progression but honestly I've been in multiple RAV4s and at no point did it ever make me regret my purchase. Yes, OBJECTIVELY a toyota is always more bang for your buck, but that doesn't mean the extra money on lexus is wasted. I think they still made enough differentiation where it mattered.

    I love the Nori Green color. Was looking at the 350h vs 450h+, but I can't justify the extra $10,000 for what essentially boils down to one gallon of gas per full charge. The MPG for the hybrid are fantastic, and it gets similar to what I am getting in my Camry hybrid.

    Thanks Brian for the excellent and informative video. I am sold on the NX350h premium, but am finding it difficult to find any vehicles in my area. The hybrids are in high demand in my area (Ann Arbor, MI.), and most dealers have very little stock on hand. Have been told it would be minimum 6 to 8 weeks (maybe) on a new order. And finding a CPO 22-24 is difficult. Dealers around here are demanding MSRP pricings also;. do you find this to be the case where you are at? Thanks... CR

    • @YBrianL
      @YBrianL 20 днів тому

      if there's a fourth one coming anytime soon then RX absolutely :D If not then size wise NX should be just fine. powertrain wise they have near identical stats but I'd expect the NX to feel slightly more nimble/maneuverable. The main difference honestly is looks and interior refinement. For me, on one hand RX has better materials, noise isolation and ambient lighting, on the other hand I like NX's looks more. I'd still choose NX though

    • @YBrianL
      @YBrianL 20 днів тому

    Hello! I recently purchased a 2025 NX 350h premium. It’s advertised at 38 mpg highway and 41 city. When traveling on the highway, I average 38 mpg. However, during my daily commute around the city, I average about 36 mpg on eco and 34 on normal. The Lexus app tells me I drive excellent and I use premium gas. Can you think of any other reason as to why I’m not hitting the 41 mpg in the city? I live in Louisiana so the weather is far from cold at the present.

    • @YBrianL
      @YBrianL Місяць тому

      while hybrids are gona be more efficient whichever way you slice it, it does take certain habits/conditions to fully maximize and reach the advertised efficiency. Based on the app I'd assume you're already accelerating and braking gently, but maybe coasting more as much as possible could help. Heavy HVAC usage would decrease efficiency as well, and turning on s-flow and eco-heating/cooling could alleviate that a bit. I know some people prefer driving with the window down instead of AC but keep in mind anything over 40mph the wind resistance will significantly increase fuel usage. Lastly if your city commutes are short (less than 10min) then it'll be difficult to reach max efficiency since the engine took a third of that time just to warm up. Hope this helps

    The back seats of the NX are a disqualifier for me. Legroom is virtually non-existent. You say you are comfortable, but you also state that you are merely 5'8". Compared to the Acura rdx competitor, I had to go with the rdx, for this, and other reasons (leather seats only come on the very top luxury trim in the nx). Acura also lets you get a donut spare tire as a dealer option. The minuses for the nx's run flats are too long to go into. I do love the incorporation of the display seamlessly into the dash in this nx. Many cars just have their screen stuck in the middle, like a pop-up tablet computer.

Would help if you could actually talk about the Cons as well and clearly lay out who the car is suited for and to whom it is NOT suited for, so a buyer can make a educated decision. Would single guys/girls feel comfortable going on long drives without a spare tire? Probably No. Run Flat works as a daily driver for work commute.

      Premium is required for 350 (turbo). For the 350h and 450h+ they're "recommended but not required". I'm losing a (completely unnoticeable) bit of efficiency and power with regular gas but no where near enough to justify premium.
