I own an 2022 NX 450h+, still love it. It’s basically a well built, comfortable EV 95% of the time, without need to rely on public charging network on road trips.
How long between gas refills?
How long between gas refills?
@@makatron My office is 50 KM away, and I can charge at the office, so I only use gas very occasionally. Since gasoline go bad in about 3 months, I go to the gas station every 3 months and get 1/2 tank (20L) of gas just to keep the engine lubricated.
My only gripes with the nx are the abysmal head up display control and the weird 9 in screen. I hope they put the same system as the gx down to the nx
@@robwon8378how much does it cost to charge each day?
I own a 2022 NX 350h and love it. . The self charging hybrid is superb. . Uses EV around town and petrol on a long journey. No charge points required, and no range anxiety. Perfect combo ! ❤
When is lexus updating their sedans? Any news on that?
Great updates! I love the NX and the overtrail is super attractive to me.
Why is it that the US always seems to get the lesser “crappier” version of cars.
Like the new Corolla in Europe has a full 10in screen and a full sized digital cluster
Always been the case.
because they prefer smaller cars over there, so the corolla is like a camry and they get more premium features
Directly related to market demand. Which basically means U.S. has bad taste in automobiles.
small means it has to be cheap in the us
@@tinhinnhit’s the same with larger cars. I can’t speak for the new gen RX, but the previous gen was only available as the more expensive hybrid and only with genuine leather upholstery, full LED head- and taillights, fog lights standard, heated backseat, and the big navi unit among other things. I was so surprised when I saw the American RX 350 with crappy headlights, blacked out panels where the fog lights go, pleather seats and that tiny infotainment screen… just saying, not making a value judgment here. There’s something to be said for making cars and SUVs more affordable like they do in America.
Early for 2025 news on the NX. Curious about 2025 RAV4.
We have the plug in, magnificent car. Build quality superb and very very efficient, so much better than the German brands.
overtrail looks pretty good inside out, especially that wood, i would love to see some green upholstery (like some GX part are from green alcantara) 5:04 i would prefer dark a-b-c pillars and roof
I liked the black and white leather interior they had previously, this replacement all white is good too. Lexus should offer the bespoke option they have on the LBX in Japan available on all their models and globally.
As for the Overtrail version, it is a nice addition but not enough has been done to make it rugged enough. They should have changed the bumpers to improve approach and maybe departure angle (think previous gen NX for US market) and increased the height clearance by minimum an inch or two. Now I know this is not really intended for off-roading but as least look the part like the RAV4 Adventure or Subaru Wilderness
Always great content,Hope they stop using run flat tires
Not likely
That 4th light in front of the triple beams is the cornering/steering light. I have it on my ES it only comes on under 15mph
Does the all wheel drive model come with all weather tires?
Kirk, do you think the IS refresh would come for the 2025 MY or 2026 (if unveiled this year)
Simply best in class
You heard here first…
Kirk likes wood!!! 😂
Me too!! it adds more premium feel to the interior for sure!
Pause
It seems Toyota and Lexus r going to have Overtrail for every model. Still major issue is waiting times.Thanks Kirk
Wish we could have a black headliner in the hybrid for black leather like the non-hybrid does.
Overtrail 🎉in NX is awesome!! 🎉
I feel like lexus is limiting some common features for their model refresh 😅
Let's pray they update the IS!!
It has a touchscreen
What they should do is add f-sport trim to a hybrid model, like in the rest of the world.
The f sport trim is nothing but a phony marketing scam to convince us into thinking the f sport makes the nx drive like a real luxury car 😱😆
the current Gen of NX is still using the 4th THS system right? the new UX claimed using 5th Gen THS.
When will Lexus announce the 2025 Lexus es 350? You do predict there will be a redesign? I’m waiting for it or debating if I should just settle for a 2022-2023.
Yeah man. Gonna be sweet.
I can confirm that the Overtrail is NOT an available option when ordering a 2025 NX in DealerDaily at least in the USA. The biggest change I see is the 20" wheels are available in the Premium again. Copper Crest is available on regular NX and NX F-Sport.
What about 350h F Sport?
Would be nice to hear some new IS news soon🤞.
The IS being the only sedan that doesn't feel like a retired dentist vehicle.
If they want to keep sale numbers and profitability, new IS can be in the worst case a hybrid, not boring, expensive and limited vacuum cleaner.
The IS will look really ugly and still be outdated and boring as usual with Lexus. So basically it will be an overpriced vacuum cleaner that gets creamed by the competition before it even gets unveiled to the world
@@naveenthemachine ROFLMAO!
@@vedranbozicevic1111 it’s true. They will severely underwhelm in the real world and they will overcharge for it
@@naveenthemachine ROFLMAO MK2.
Drives me crazy that they removed the F Sport badge on the rear 😡 maybe it’s just me but looks incomplete.
Where is that 12 inch digital gauge cluster. Why you got it on the RAV 4 but not the NX even though it has a facelift.
It’s even on the 2025 UX…
I am thinking the same thing. They should upgrade that into 2025 model.
I like wood in cars. 👍
Me too!
@@eleanormassaro5195 We should have more wood in cars.👍
@@mrgurulittle7000 I agree! I had it in my 2010 Lexus RX and I always thought it was beautiful. I don’t know why Lexus is moving away from the wood interiors.
@@eleanormassaro5195I like the older RX interior better too.
Are you a SURFER!!!!!
I have the ‘23 350h, looks like the get rid of most of the black plastic interior
Love my 2016 ultrasonic blue mica but would love to see a lime green NX 350 F Sport for 2025!
Yes I would love to add wood in my future GX overtrail
Didn’t realize new GX does not have wood accents until this vid. I’ll miss my open pore ash wood trim in my Blackline when my Overtrail arrives.
Is there any chance of an F sport hybrid in the 2025 NX?
Is it same price as 2024?
We have a 2024 on reserve refundable $1,000 payment but I'm sure we can just decline and opted to wait for this one
I think black wood is ok but any brown woods in a car remind me of my grand parents cars especially the fake wood from their 70s to 80s cars. Gross. I got to sit in a new GX and I actually liked that it didn't have wood or too much piano black surfaces, gave it a more premium look to me. However, I do still think manufacturers should offer wood interior options for the top luxury trims because it seems like a lot of older buyers like that.
I have the 22 NX350h and have noticed a suspension issue where it will bottom out in front going over speed bumps. Hoping 2025 models can handle speed bumps. More quietness is welcome
Do 20" wheels offer a more stiff and harsher ride quality? That is my understanding. They look great but might not ride as smooth as 18" wheels?
Definitely. We test drove both NX350h with 18s and 20s. The 18s feels a little softer. The 20s looks good though. We bought one with 18s for more comfort and cheaper tires in the future.
Expecting midterm update. NX F and RX grill
Thank you for the update! I was interested in the 450h+ but no panoramic roof and basic sound system? Yikes! So much money and you get a better roof and stereo in the RAV4 Prime! Wondering, are they offering the better stereo system in the 450h+?
Yes Mark Levinson audio system is now available as option for $1020 USD
Hey Kirk, do you think the LX refresh will bring an overtrail version with a potential hybrid and just 5 seats? Also, it's not fair that the GX overtrail models get EKDSS, but the LX doesn't get anything, so hopefully, Toyota rectifies that with an overtrail LX
Let's hope!
Nobody is gonna take an LX600 off road when its already $110k
Yeah where’s our LX700h that was trademarked?
Drove my sis in laws fully loaded ‘24 RX350h this past weekend. Lexus really does beautiful interiors, it was a serene and comfortable car to be in. Didn’t care for the sound of the 4 cyl engine when it was working hard but it’s a fair trade off for the excellent mpg’s. My only real gripe with Lexus and especially Toyota is the quality of their screens and clear plastic cover for the instruments…even Hondas have better quality in this one area. They always have fine little scratches that show in sunlight. The touch screen should be tempered glass or high quality polycarbonate. I believe she paid about $73k for her car and after a couple months the screen already has fine lines all over it from her wiping it off with a microfiber cloth. My ‘22 Tesla M3P screen still looks new. My old F30 335i screen never showed any scratches either. Even the clear lenses in my ‘18 Infiniti Q50RS stayed looking pretty fresh for the 3 yrs I had it. Toyota/Lexus just seems to overlook this area in particular and it triggers my OCD when I’m in one lol.
Don’t they make screen protectors like they do for iPads?
@@bngr_bngr Probably, if not then someone definitely should.
More than likely the screen protector is still on. As my New NX still has it. Factory screen protector... And it too had fine scratches after repetitive use. There original screens are phenomenal and extremely hard to scratch.
There is a thin screen protector on the Lexux RX and NX models. I think the 14 inch screens have an amazing resolution and are bright for even Sunny days.
@@dsdddsd4543we it didn’t look like there was one, but it’s possible. I wasn’t looking for it so I can’t say with any confidence, I’m sure those who own one would know better.
Stunning looking mini beast ❤
Does this Over Trail model get a spare wheel to actaully be able to take it off the asphelt?
The NX doesn’t seem fit for off-road. I like the wood.
Did they solve the high-voltage cable corrosion issue on the NX hybrids?
What about Lexus es350?
What about the LS?? any updates or new models?
No updates other than the fact that it’s time for it to be discontinued😂
@naveenthemachine.😂 Ls is selling more than fine and only one that will be discontinued is the G90 considering its horrible sales figures .
Still no 120v AC 1500 watt outlet like the RAV4 in the NX?
Lexus reminds me of Apple, everyone else has lots of exciting features but them. 😡
Isn't there ink dipped wood in the GX along with faux wood or is it all faux wood
Gx460 or 550?
@@KirkKreifels 550 the center console, the thing with the 12 volt
I like the new NX way more than the new RX even though it is not as luxurious.
LMFAO... NOT even close! I have an RX450H+ and had an NX350 loaner. The RX is FAR smoother ride, much more quiet and overall a nicer car. If you get the Executive package on both, they have similar options, but the RX ride is SIGNIFICANTLY better!!
@@davet7184 Not even close? NX has a more sporty look, sleeker/cozy interior. I would say its even for the front look, but the back of the NX looks better. RX has a bulky vibe like the pointy similar to the Venza.
RX wins on ride quality, but most people live in dense city space. NX will be easier to park/maneuver.
All depends on the person, size of family, use etc
will the NX overtail come has a PHEV so we can use room mode and camp out ?
In Japan it does.
Good news on the full pano roof, but still no full MID? 😢
I didn’t recall hear anything about the pano roof. What is going to be new about that?
Overtrail NX? what on earth
Get it... Earth paint?
TRD OFF-Road was already taken. 😉
@@rightlanehog3151dont think lexus has ever used TRD in their lineup. I guess toyota 'GR' is Lexus 'F' and TRD offroad is 'overtrail'
Your ability to understand it is why you are the king sir 🤣@@KirkKreifels
It's not for Earth, it's for Moon desert 🏜
In the US press release issued today, Lexus did not mention anything about improved handling/quietness. However, they confirmed that the overall height and ground clearance both increased vs. the 24 models. I wonder if this means there was a change in the suspension.
For Japan, Lexus touted the improvements they made in handling/quietness. I am trying to find out if those changes are also on the US models. The change in height/ground clearance make me think (hope?) the US models were also changed/improved. I was about to buy a 24, but would wait for a 25 if it had improved handling/quietness.
Do you know when is it going to be in the market?
I just picked up a 2024 Premium trim. Wish I saw this first. Zero down 935 monthly payment
I have not heard good things about run flat tires that the NX 350 has. Heard by recent owners the ride is stiffer and that the ride is louder with the run flat tires. I would rather have good regular Michelin tires with a spare tire in the back instead of a bunch of compartments under the rear floor cover.
Yep, the ride is a rougher. I will get a set of Michelin for my wife’s 2024 NX350h as soon as those RF wears out. Unfortunately a spare won’t fit under the truck since some space are a taken up by the 12V battery,
@@jml9550 Night and Day better with Michelin's Much smoother and Much less rolling resistance....went from 39 miles er charge to 49 miles per 120V plug in on my 450h+ F Sport
@@donaldbanner2185 good to hear. Yeah I buy nothing but Michelins. Have a set Primacy MXV4s on my 2017 ES350 and Latitude Tours on my son’s 08 RX350. Now on the NX I just need to figure out if I should buy a donut spare which will take up half the room in the trunk or just take chance and buy a liquid emergency seal kit…….
They are upgrading the screen size because many of the 9.8" out of Japan are scratched, from the factory, near the start button! :-(
😮
Kirk, The NX 'Over Trail' needs an upgrade to the TNGA-F platform so we can have the compact Land Cruiser we want.😉🤣
We’re literally getting a baby Land Cruiser on TNGA-F
Don't think its coming out on TNGA-F
It's possible it's too small for F.
They might as well call it the Airplane edition. About as realistic as driving the NX off road.
Any idea if the 2025 Lexus NX 450h+ will have a Mark Levinson option?
Just got off the phone with my salesman an that is the only thing holding me back. For a vehicle in this price range the fact it doesn’t come with the ML system is insane. No way im going up to the RX….just far to massive
Hmmmmmmmmmmm? to give A VERY FINE vehicle because of a sound system????..Gota questiopn Z Gray Matter!.....the stock system is No DOG maybe a b+ the ML A+ however for the extra 1200+ $ take the vehicle to a Reputable Auto Stereo store & upgrade......MORE Over, .... the sound in any car there is a substantial amount of quality LOSS,,, & is taking a hit from SIMPLE Road noise....IMO...Take the 1200.00 plus pax and put it into your Home audio....However, Do-Not pass up the 450h+ " F " Sport (if you can find one) Because of stereo,.... DUMB! IMO... I own the 450h+ F Sport and probably the finest Practical SUV made and I am coming froM Porsche beemer and cedes former owner....The aforementioned are deemed more Gucci.....however, I need to sleep at night and Know I can get to the business meeting or hospital in emergency...Not to the dealer for service!
Choosing to be picky. Probably my last car. Looks like the ‘25 will offer pano and ML. I’ll be IN at that point.
Yes the ML audio system is available on the x450h+ in the 2025 version along with glass panoramic roof
the bamboo steering wheel feels insanely good
The top model 450h+ F Sport is same price as the BMW X3 M40i with the B58 engine though. That's crazy.
Yeah I do feel the 450h price is high. But it does offer 40+ miles of EV range. to some buyers is a selling point where they can use it as an EV on daily commute.
Any news on the ES? ES 300H needs to be all-wheel-drive...been waiting for years for it to be all-wheel-drive, still nothing. Hopefully, if it gets a bit of refresh, it will be 4-wheel-drive and why the hell we can't put the back seats down...
If I am a betting man I will bet AWD will be offer in the next gen ES hybrid. The new Camry offers AWD and the ES is pretty much the same car.
@@jml9550 I will send you thousands of online hugs and love if that becomes the case, the only reason why I still haven't bought the ES300H is the fact that they don't offer AWD option. If it was all their lineup not being able to have both AWD and hybrid system, I would be ok with it but many of their hybrid and non-hybrid lineup HAVE AWD except the poor little ES :(
I get that people don't like sedan cars anymore and everyone is jumping on the SUV wagon but oh dear....sedan cars have always had a special place in my heart ❤️
@@Hate---Love same here, love sedan in a sea of SUVs. Current 2017 Lexus ES350 owner and looking to buy the next generation ES hybrid, probably a 2026 model year. I have time since the ES350 just hit 42k miles almost 7 years ago when I brought her home :)
@@jml9550 Aww that is soo damm cute! Treasure her and spoil her, I am sure it will take you even longer and further than ever before..;p
My dear friend, I was surprised at HOW MUCH gas I was saving in one of my friends's ES300H. I put 35€ of gas and took it on a long trip, went to where I wanted, came back same day and drove 3 more days in the city with that 35€ gas I put in there, I couldn't believe my eyes! The trip was from home to a city that was 200 KM away from here and I came back in the same day (another 200 KM so in total 400 KM) and drove in the city for 3 more days with just 35€? How??? That is when I decided, you know what? With inflation going this high, gas prices being this expensive I WANT THAT CAR! So, I am hoping the next generation ES300H being a AWD hybrid, if that happens...I am ready to bring her home too 😌
@@Hate---Love oh the ES350 is not going away. I intend to gift it to my son after I buy the next generation ES hybrid.
BTW, just bought my wife a new 2024 Lexus NX350h, that’s the reason why I love hybrid even more. Amazing MPG for a 4,100 lbs SUV.
Ignorant question - do all current Lexus NX models have Homelink and memory driver seats?
Nice
Would like see Nebula gray color added
We just bought a NX hybrid, the cloudburst gray is darker and more sparkly than her friend’s NX300 Nebula gray. My wife’s likes the darker gray, pure personal preference.
They should upgrade the NX with the 500h setup. And then 550h to the RX.
Performance wise the 450h+ is very close to the 500h. And it gets 40-45 miles of EV range.
i drove own, a very fun car.
I like the wood everywhere but the steering wheel. It gets uncomfortable on long trips.
My wife said the same thing. She had a 08 RX350 with wood steering wheel and now a 24 NX hybrid. The NX heated leather steering wheel wo wood feels better than the RX.
Moon Desert is pretty rough...it's like if Lexus made military vehicles. Also, who is taking their Lexus off road to the extent that it needs to look like it's an off-road vehicle?
Moon desert, Earth, Baby begie. same thing...
Team Sailor Moon Desert !
It would be nice if Lexus and Toyota cars were really made in Japan. I understand the car would cost more, but supposedly better built and as a consumer, you get your money out of it in the long run.
Got mine on order.. 2 years 😢
Not much of a change.
I like wood and a cd player...really!
Can I get some clarification? For the improvements, do they apply to 2024 MY? Lexus's press release does not say it explicitly, and I read it on another site saying it's for 2024 MY.
Biggest change is colour. No chrome due to be not eco friendly 😂
Wood 🤮🤮🤮
Nx or Rav4 prime?
Prime or 450h+?
@@KirkKreifels yes 450h+ but the new NX is based on current RAV4 XA50 so i dont think it was a smart move, because next gen rav4 is comming soon
................. Any Model would LQQK Substantially BETTER IMO.... if the front fascia is " F " Sport with the Large Gloss Black air intakes & Black Chrome w Gloss black spoke mag/rims....... I personally LIKE the Circut Red with Black Inserts (very Sporty) interior!....LQQK's GREAT with Atomic Silver or White exterior!
Did I miss the engines for 25?
Everyone knows that color is Cosmic Clay, cmon now 😂
The RX is not “enormous” 😂. I’m prob the only one that doesn’t Earth color - looks like a new beige to me. I thought Overtrail is only for Bof suv’s…
The new RX is as big as an older 7-seat Honda Pilot!
It is..
We call this colour “Baby Shit Brown” in Australia….
The hazel is BSB for sure
Lexus is taking Mazda carbon turbo color 😂 Zircon Sand
they should add a spare tire like rav4 otherwise it’s useless
Nice, I jus hope they Fixed the Driver side door mirror glass🙄Which Lexus Claims their is No Fix. I say BS!! Well, this is what happens when u buy a New from ground up car...🙂🙃
Tried for a year to get an NX350H, after 3 price increases and 14 months I gave up...got my deposit backm
Where? In California every NX hybrid and RX hybrid are at MSRP or even some discount.
The NX seems a bit small. And I dislike run flat tires
It is small, my wife had a 08 RX and now a 24 NX350h. Interior wise it is definitely smaller, but we don’t need much room now as kids are all driving. On longer road trips my 17 ES350 is much more comfortable in terms of ride and noise.
Thanks for the info Kirk.. But, of course, Lexus did NOT address the most critical upgrade that the NX and RX really needed.. Right now the NX and RX have extremely poor outward visibility in all directions.. This is so important for driving safety. In fact, unfortunately, most Lexus and Toyota models have this major problem.. To fix this Toyota and Lexus really need to raise the rooflines about 3" to 4" (inches) in the NX and RX and on most models.. That would not only help with outward visibility, but also make the cabin feel more comfortable and NOT give the driver and passengers that "closed in" and cramped feeling.
My wife changed from her 08 RX350 to a 24 NX350h, no issue with visibility for her. The roof line is a little low for ingress and egress. If you are tall, it might not be that easy to get in and out.
Great video, Kirk. I am with you on the wood interior. It’s why I still keep my 2014 ES. It just feels like Lexus has driven away from putting in a lot of wood interior. I really miss their older build quality as compared to the new ones.
The NX could use more storage space.
Sooo get an RX or GX or TX 😂
@@DarenBrantley In comparison to its counterpart the RAV4 it’s very possible to give the NX more interior space.
I can’t believe Lexus is so cheap in providing some very basic features on this car unless you buy the most expensive upgrade although even the basic ones are supposed to be ‘luxurious’ too and they are very expensive too! I’m talking very basic stuff all other much cheaper cars have these days such as remote engine running, seat ventilation in HOT countries, a decent sized screen around 12 inches AT LEAST, projector on screen. These ARE VERY BASIC STUFF TO HAVE!!! You must have more and more for the higher models. I’m so very disappointed and I assure you Lexus that ppl are choosing other car manufacturers just for these small stuff you can easily add and I’m one of them.
It is too similar to Rav4. They must differentiate more atleast the interior.
not even close....have you driven both in hybrid? Two different cars
@politicalmatter•.NX has different interior design exterior design comfort features luxury refinement quality and more.its miles different from a rav4 in everyway . Sometimes people like you make me hate the internet
I have tested driven both the RAV4 hybrid limited, Venza Limited and NX350, NX is definitely the most refined, Venza is pretty close, RAV4 is not even close. My wife picked the NX and that’s what we bought.
Like my '22 450H+, but it's not perfect. Still want a spare! Oh, and better RF performance between phone & car would be very helpful. And I like wood trim.
Not a fan of Lexus doing away with wood trim.
Great, the Overtrail trim is just beginning to make a name for itself in the new GX and Lexus is already diluting it by placing it in a vehicle without any offroad pretensions 🤦🏽 This trim should have been added to the LX instead. And I agree that the herringbone wood trim looks good. Put that on the TX, Lexus!
The 2025s are out
Looks like they copied some of Mazdas
Overtrail model for the NX?? Why? Doesn’t work with that car imo.
