Nice presentation. My 2022 nx 350 awd arrives next week. Obsidian with bright red. Super excited. I went all out all ordered all the new goodies available. Came in around $56,500.

Regular hybrid is my choice. Even with the tax rebate, the plug in is still about $8000 more than regular. If the vehicle is kept 5 years, how much money can you save compare to the regular hybrid? 6 second vs 7.2 doesn't seems to be important for a family use car

Great review mam, I’ve never watched seen any of your videos before and I have to say it was very informative, I feel you covered every aspect of this vehicle, they haven’t arrived in Ireland yet, when they do I’m trading in my Lexus is300h for a hybrid NX as the other engines don’t interest me.
One mistake I, saw in the video was with the pecs the 350h, has 239hp, not 302, only the plugin 450h+ comes with 302hp, apart from that, very informative review
@@tropicalstorm339 thnx TS. Ive been pondering between the 350 hybrid, 450h, or toyota rav4 prime xse hybrid.. Lexus is a bit more expensive, kinda puts me off a little. no more than 50k would be my budget and no slower than 0-60 in 7 sec
Love the new NX! I’m still driving my 2010 RX after 11 years and I’m still enjoying it! Would like to keep it another two or three more years and then maybe I’ll look at the new NX. Correction though, Lexus vehicles have four year 50,000 mile warranties, not three-year 36,000 mile warranties. Also I thought all the NX’s are being built in Canada except for the 450 H plus which will be built in Japan
@Car Coach Reports ... Thank you. So the GLC has a more comfortable suspension while the NX has the more quiet cabin? Now that makes it a tie then 🤣 I have the GLC right now and I'm thinking of trading it in for the NX for more features, but I don't want to lose the comfortable ride of the GLC. I really need to think this over. Will probably just test drive the NX250 to see how I feel about it.
You know what irks me? They omit the panoramic roof and Mark Levinson sound system as options from their TOP tier model... the 450h+ F-Sport. I'm just going to wait for the mid or last model year of this generation to correct some of these gripes, God willing.
Thank you for such informative and detailed review of the new NX. I’m loving everything about the new design. Any idea when they will be available at dealerships? I heard they could arrive in Q1 2022 which is faraway imo. Thanks again.
You KNOW I love your thorough reviews! I am car shopping and while I love the Lexus concept (of luxury), I have found them, as you said "uninspired and vanilla" in today's market. I just received the NX brochure and the 2022's have stepped it up. However, I'm disappointed that the passenger seat isn't equally comfortable and that there isn't a massage option. Also that there is no rear seat climate control center. When I think of LUXURY, Lexus comes to mind. But they miss the mark compared to other vehicles and it's sooo disappointing. Lexus are built to last (I have a 20 year old in the garage!) but they're missing the details I love in the Corsair and GV70. Thank you again Lauren!
There are only a hand few compact luxury CUV's that have massaging seats and most of them are not that good, the one in the GV70 comes to mind, it is simply like an air bladder that moves in and out and after a while, it can get uncomfortable, I would rather skip that option if I was buying a GV70

What are your thoughts about it after owing it for 1 year now?
Does the 350 H have significant road noise because of less insulation or run flat tires than a ES model?
It was equally as quiet as the past model year, they offer insulated windows.
@@CarCoachReports Thanks for your very detailed report on Lexus NX. I will be ordering the 350H Looks great.
I'm dazzled by that red interior! So tired of grey or black being the choices. The plug-in is my pick of this litter.
