The second best-selling Lexus in America gets a complete redesign for 2022. The volume selling #LexusNX becomes to #LexusNX350 this year courtesy of a new 2.4L turbo 4-cylinder making 275 HP. The #NX350FSport takes things up a notch with better handling and a sportier design. It’s a huge upgrade, but not quite the class leader we were hoping it could be.

Happy Friday guys! We first want to thank Keeps for sponsoring this video, be sure to go to keeps.com/redline to get 50% off your first order! As good as the new Lexus NX is... and it is a HUGE improvement over the previous generation. The turbo engine is a big upgrade, but the lack of space on the inside and just a lack of an overall "wow" factor, keeps us from fully recommending the new NX over competitors like the Genesis GV70 or Acura RDX. The German offerings are also still great options and we think Lexus has caught up to those, especially with the electrified powertrains. The NX is still a good option, but its just a solidly mid-pack option, but hey that is exactly what some buyers are looking for :)
Would love to see a comparison between the Toyota Rav4 vs the Lexus NX
@@hansennaidoo9833 I’d take the venza over both of them
I’d also love to see just for fun a comparison of nx350 vs Camry XSE v6. Because why not? If sofyan can do a comparison of Camry vs tlx why not?
Sofyan. It’s brand new and only mid pack means it’s disaster for Lexus
I told you the gv70 and Rdx have objectively obliterated the nx before anyones even driven it. The fact that it’s not even class competitive even compared to the cx5 or tuscon or venza or Santa Fe or Sportage it shows that the nx is really really lackluster😂
Imo my Camry v6 XSE is so much better than this in just about every way
@@naveenthemachine
Still posting the same garbage verbatim for 2 years running, yet it still makes no difference. LMAO!
*2022 Sales Numbers (Jan - March) 1sr Qtr.*
*Lexus NX - 10,109*
Acura RDX - 7,878
Genesis GV70 - 4,114
Real buyers don't pay attention to internet trolls. 😁
@@TheBjjones it's kind of funny but mainly just sad. Dude must search "Lexus" every single day to post all his hate.
I drove this thing 800 miles on ECO mode, only had to fill up three times. Incredible car with everything you could ever want.
Does it have a small fuel tank?
@@damo5701 If you CAN buy this Who Cares....have one and NEVER Buy Gas!
So you're getting around 18mpg?
Take a drink when Sofyan says he's "surprised" by something.
THANK YOU FOR SHOWING WHAT CARPLAY LOOKS LIKE!!!!
I love they let you use the entire screen real estate!!!
What's the point, can't watch any videos
Great review as always. Love the comparisons you make as you cover every aspect of the interior, exterior and performance of the vehicle. I do wonder if you could show more than just Car Play when reviewing the infotainment system of vehicles. It would be nice to see the Android side .
i have an rx f sport, and when i go use my paddle shifters, , i pull my my gear shiffter to the left to put it into a true manual mode. it stays in gear and doesnt up shift, but it does down shift into 1st if you come into a complete stop. the paddle shifters make the car so much more fun the way i drive it that way
This red color is amazing. Almost like a 50's Fender Fiesta Red.
Great review as always.
Almost to a MILL!
Don’t misunderstand me bro you are one of my favorite Automobile Journalist. Hands down. Alex Auto is one of the other great journalists as well.
That is some nice pumped in engine sound.
always a great review
Sofyan & Redline Reviews Happy Easter!!!
Thank God!!! This now comes with an 8 speed auto. Rather than the crappy overly used CVT!!!!
This only has a CVT in the hybrid model
Stunning! Thanks!
Great review!!
that beautiful shade of red would look so good on the lc500
Sounds great too for that engine size
Pretty nice car. Not a crossover guy but I’d definitely get one of these if I was
@BeeGee I wasn't a crossover guy until recently. I like the step in height....bad back, getting old! 😂
As a cross over I Actually slide my electric Kayak in the back and put my elec. bike in rear and LOCK them inside Secure!...Advantage SUV / Cross over
Love that color!!!
I do a lot of highway driving and have had flat tires. No spare tire is a bad idea.
15:33 that center stack with the vents and the leather looks like an afterthought. Those elements are so crammed in there. That leather is going to get toasty with the heater blowing
Looks great
I am now convinced all the press people purposely give him the bright interiors and exteriors cause he loves them lol.
Most reviews I've seen from other UA-camrs also had this exact spec to sample.
Very Nice Bro! Get Good People!
It annoys me that Sofyan always throws the GV70 and GV80 in these reviews as a “step-up” in the category. Having owned a GV80 Prestige for over a year…. they have a lot of bugs to work out. The tech is glitchy, the hvac system was glitchy, the nav was glitchy and worst of all…. the V6 TT was not that great in temps below -25 celsius. On top of that…. overall brand experience sucked! I would not put Genesis in the same category at all. They look great inside and out but that’s where it stops.
Where the heck do you live to get -25 degrees?
@@jamesc8708 Alberta Canada. We can get as low as -40 in the winter months. Great fun! Lol
@@beri232 yikes.
Sorry to hear you are having issues with a premium Genesis. In that same climate, do you know anyone or have personal experience regarding how Toyota/Lexus and Honda/Acura perform there? If so, what have you experienced or heard? I appreciate any feedback you can provide.
@@abelievnguy I can personally vouch for Toyota, Lexus and Mazda. Honda’s were also excellent but I haven’t owned any of the newer models.
Great video
My GV70 has wireless connect. It’s the sport edition. 2022 3.5T.
Great review! Did the previous gen's AWD have that infamous driver's hump like the IS? If so, is it gone now with this new 8speed?
GONE!
Can’t wait to see you review the RZ 🔥
I hope so too. But I think from my gut feeling that the gv60 ev has already ended it using their ubiquitous FBI and CIA tactics
The 2022 Lexus NX350 is a clear improvement over the 2021 NX300 it mostly replaces, and if you have Lexus blinders on, you're set. Motor Trend
Well we saw it and guess what? Just as I had predicted to you all, it’s a dismal failure
It gets spanked by other evs before it even goes on sale. Like seriously is Lexus this bad
@@naveenthemachine I was extremely disappointed 😩, it’s pathetically SMALL. We all thought it was RX size like Lexus advertised.
@@TheWOWRichardqian you know what that means right? It means I was right 😁 once again. Listen to yourselves. “the rz will be best in class it’s better than the Korean evs” 😂🤣. I can’t help but laugh at that remark
Now I I can celebrate 😁🎉 and laugh at you all for having the audacity to shut me down for saying the RZ is a massive fail before it even goes on sale before anyones even driven it. I seriously hope Sofyan doesn’t drive the RZ it would be an absolute waste of time. Actually it would be a waste of time to drive the RZ once than driving an ioniq5 or ev6 10 times
Please do a head-to-head comparison video with this car and with the Acura RDX all wheel drive a spec I currently own a 2019 RDX and love it to death but also like this car as a second car. I feel like they both complement each other really well and the video with the two together would be pretty sweet
Not even a comparison. Rdx destroys the nx in just about every way
Has your RDX been reliable? From a lot of the research I've seen people are having problems with Honda and Acura over the last 5 years. I have a 2010 Honda Accord that has been flawless. I want an AWD crossover for my next vehicle.
Things go awry when you start comparing the 2022 Lexus NX350 to the competition. We've tested a number of Acura RDXs, the most recent of which was a 2020 Advance AWD model that hit 60 in 6.8 seconds, a full half second quicker than the Lexus. That's a difference you'll feel. So is the Q5's performance; we've tested a 2021 AWD model reaching 60 in only 5.7 seconds. Motor Trend
@@KPHVAC yes hands down best car purchase I ever made in my life. I’ve only had it for 3 years now and zero problems. Just oil changes. Planning to keep 10 years or so. Absolutely love it and drive experience is awesome everyday.
@@naveenthemachinet least the back glass doesn't shatter for no reason on the NX
This will sell very well regardless of what the niche auto enthusiasts want
But you don’t buy a luxury car because it’s best selling
Luxury means top of the line. Next level up over mainstream. Bespoke. Perfection. next level comfort etc
The nx has none of that. Plus I think the Rdx is the best seller in the class close to the BMW X3
@@naveenthemachine The only reason people buy Lexus is because of the reliability and lower cost compared to Germans. As good as Lexus is, in terms of luxury its always two steps behind Germans. The only two true luxury vehicles that Lexus has IMO is the LC500 and the ES300h in its class. The NX seems like a high trim Rav4
Enthusiasts? Its a 275HP generic crossover? This is the complete opposite of what enthusiasts want
@@paladin3116 I would say also thr is500 is good. But other Lexus including thr ES are just dressed up Camrys or corollas at the eod in some sort of way
@@paladin3116 my Toyota gets 300hp and it’ll easily smoke this nx and get better mpg while also having Lexus like refinement and smoothness at a price tag that’s $15-17K cheaper
2023 this powertrain will be in the highlander. RIP the glory days where 350 actually meant something
Yup.
Legit review
Are they going to upgrade the 2023 IS350 and IS500 models interior like this NX model? Because the gross interior was the only thing keeping from getting one
This car looks sleek and aggressive, I know a lot of people don't like the predator mouth Lexus grill but I think it looks great and is a great addition to the design language especially on this new NX!
I think it only looks good on the LC
I like it on the F sport trim.

@@normt430 99% of buyers do not care about 0-60 times on a crossover. Its a crossover not a sports car, you have a choice of a slow lexus or a slightly slower acura.
@@paladin3116 The new NX is at the bottom of the pack in every metric!
On our figure-eight course that evaluates acceleration, handling, and braking as well as the transitions in between, the 2022 Lexus NX350 clawed back some ground. The NX350's time of 27.3 seconds at 0.63 g (average) was nearly identical to that of a 2020 RDX and ahead of a 2018 NX300 FWD's performance of 27.8 seconds at 0.62 g, though it couldn't match the Audi Q5 (26.5 seconds at 0.67 g).
Wow they were thinking of you when they named that color I bet Soyfan. Great job brother.
if you talk about the engine sound, you should always wind the window down so we can hear from outside and also attach something to rear of vehicle
Sounds weak either way
My Camry v6 has a much much better sound than this
@@naveenthemachine nobody cares about your Corolla
The exterior is amazing…. The dash needs some work. Hopefully they fix it when ever they refresh the car.
Sometimes I think Redline Reviews forgets what segment they are reviewing. Leather stitching in the dash is an option on even the next level of SUV up. It would be nice to keep the interior review focused on the price point they car is in.
That's exactly what he did. The dash needs some detail/stitching especially at this price point. Even cheaper cars from Hyundai or Mazda have more going on there to make the dash more pleasing to the eye.
Sofyan is a bit blinded when talking about money sometimes. Not everyone can get the highest spec of a vehicle like he always suggest. He is not wrong about this, though. The previous NX had a more luxurious interior with stitching on the dash and other details not found on this one.
Our 22 Venza has more interior stitching and leatherette. I love the tech and exterior of the NX, but the look of the interior doesn’t wow me.
@@MattCC16Gamingdont compare stitching on non luxury segment. Its like saying that its because he puts a nice big tires on a cheap car makes it looks so much luxurious and better than any luxury cars exisited just because it has the nicest wheels. Yes It looks nice but will still runs cheap. Luxury cars are built.from ground up. Every little bit that you can see and cannot see (feel) makes up a luxury car.
Genesis GV70, Mercedes Benz GLC, Lincoln Corsair, and even the Mazda CX-5 have stitching on the dash. I think it’s an option on the X3 as well. This is not out of the norm for this segment.
What’s the difference between the standard bi-LED headlamps vs. optional tri-LED headlamps?
Much Broader beams to the side and overal and the F Sport has seperate turing lights next to the bright FOG lights.
This lexus NX looks good all over

They should have used this grill for the new RX and kept the V6. This is nice but it's too small for someone with a family.
Is it orange or red, need to know if the color in my eyes going
Love everything about this car except the FWD bias and all of the gloss black around the console but outside of that great vehicle.
Its AWD
@@aritruths1452 FWD bias AWD system
My 450h+ "F" Sport has all carbon Fiber anywhere gloss piano black was Interior and exterior!
I hope the 2.4L engine is not a oil burner like Toyota 2007 to 2012 2.4 L
I love this Crossover! I'm driving a 2014 Acura TL, and this is on my potential next purchase list, since I'm hearing about reliability issues with the Acura RDX.
You have a perfectly good SUV, why would you get rid of it?
Check out the 2022 RDX. A lot of the 19-21 issues were fixed. The SH AWD in the RDX makes it more fun to drive compared to the NX. Once you power out of a corner in the RDX, in sport mode, you’ll know exactly what I’m talking about.
@@GlennTerryJr Ok, cool! The 2019 RDX was the year in particular that I heard issues about. An RDX is certainly the more fun to drive crossover. I drove one when they had to keep my TL overnight for an ordered part.
@@GlennTerryJrlook nhtsa site. Rdx 2021 tp present have so many complaints
Certainly would suck for people who own these in states that require front license plates. This would be true for a lot of cars, of course, but this one would be one of the worst.
Where there’s a will there’s a way.
I hear this powertrain will power the next gen 4Runner
Not a fan of red for a vehicle, unless "arrest me red" Porsche ... Red exterior does look good on this Lexus NX 350 ... Upscale Toyota refresh looks good on this NX ... Slainte' ! Cheers !
I own the 2022 450h+ F sport PLUG IN & No GAS!!!!!!! ..In Atomic Silver Glows in the Sun Light with Lil" grey metal flake" and same Circut Red interior.. but with Electric battery...Has 306 Horse power 0 to 60 in 5.6 sec (Via Road and track at drag strip!.) This model DOES- NOT have a TURBO...But rather, a Naturally aspirated / Carb...........(important because it is well known that TURBOS stress engines)...simplysaid: see euro cars shop time!....this car combines the Elec Batt and engine to achieve *89 miles per Gallon in Hybred mode with HIGH torq, And VERY quick out of the hole...Jus' blew the doors off a 735i beemer...albeit for only a block ...( I am no dummy a V* will eventually pass many cars in the long dist. (in all fairness)......However, who cares the thrill is initial take off and tickets are for high speed & SPEED...Kill's! My car has Red Calipers against Powder coated Gloss spoke Black mags and All red "F" Sport Badges........
FAR better built than euro's (mine built in Japan) sadly, new releases are now being made in Canada! Like USA Union shops...no one gets fired for a hang over and bad work??? maybe)..... However, Lexus is Far more reliable...Far better Re-Sale that Euro beemers or mercedes.......indeed mine has Gone UP in price...Not many cars you can find Like that!... IF YOU CAN FIND ONE ANYWHERE do grab it!......"econ 101".....Has (3) elec. motors gett'n 0 to 60 in 5.6 sec (road and track) HIGH torque QUICK out of Hole!......Never do I use gas..... gett'n 42 miles per 120 Volt charge and NEVER USE GAS....and almost Silent operation in elec....So do your research......as this is Far better than any European beemer or mercedes that are depreciating the moment you drive off the lot BIG TIME! And are un- reliable offering to say nothing of the GAS HOG unproven G 70, & RDX not worth mentioning. Z Best of the BEST F Sport 450h+ !
I love Lexus…
I personally miss the mouse/ pad on the center console
Hey! Just wanted to share a weird quirk of Lexus. Next time you have a new Lexus, try to hit the lock button on key fob 3 times and on the third time hold down. It should remote start from the key fob. Thanks for the awesome reviews as always!
My Toyota has this too…
Have the 22 nx350f. Have had it for two weeks. My one gripe is it’s super slow. Slower than I thought it would be, and so far does not seem to get good gas mileage. So I don’t really feel like driving in sport+ and getting even worse gas mileage. Other than the pickup and overall sluggishness, it’s a beautiful car. No other complaints.
Should've gotten the 350h. My wife copped a Nori green 350h luxury. It won't break any speed records but it does average over 35 mpg. 😎
0-60 with a torque converter gear box is respectable. Dual clutch would be faster, but you would be paying big when it breaks. Did you drive it before you purchased it?
@@ohrandyrandy The plug-in is quick but not swift enough for us to forget about the NX's biggest shortcoming-its interior. Compared to the Genesis GV70 also at this year's competition or even the Toyota Venza that wasn't, the NX comes across as too plain. Motor Trend.
@@normt430 Who cares about interior when it comes to resale value and customer service. Genesis has the worst of both worlds. Genesis makes horrible products with cheap build quality… with virtually non-existent customers service when issues arise, AND THEY WILL! The GV80, for example, already has a class action lawsuit for it’s power train. Also GV80 and 70 customers experience check engine lights after a couple hundred miles, before having their cars sit in service for months awaiting the arrival of cheap parts from Korea. The best part is: THEY GET TO MAKE PAYMENTS ON A CAR THEY CANNOT EVEN DRIVE. Lovely.
Lexus loses it value just like any other luxury vehicle. So I wouldn't believe the wive's tale about Lexus holding their value. Residual values are set by the banks and the food chain of auction and dealerships just play along to make as much money as they can out the consumers.
Edmunds long term test of the Lexus GS loosing over 1/3 of it's value from MSRP.
"Resale and Depreciation:
We accumulated 20,940 miles on our 2013 Lexus GS 350. Edmunds' TMV® Calculator valued the vehicle at $47,431 based on a private-party sale. The market did not seem to support this price, as CarMax offered us $40,000 and the best we could muster from a private partywas $41,000. This made for 30-percent depreciation from our paid price of $58,377. We were disappointed.

They won’t. It’s too late for Lexus. The other brands have objectively ended Lexus. The best selling momentum will come to an end for lexus
The T24A-FTS will probably make its way to the next gen Camry
I’m not too happy about that ☹️
The 3.5 2GR especially the FKS is so much nicer and more refined.
The digital rear view is available on this car. I have it on mine
Too bad Lexus didn't opt to use the same designs as the upcoming full electric model. It looks so much better then this NX insude and out.
How is the 14 inch screen resolution though?
Toyota and Lexus are notorious for cheating out on super low res screens, like the Venza for example, huge screen but super crappy resolution not even 1080p
The engine in this car is what I think will be in the new 4Runner
This engine was design for a FWD bias AWD setup. Toyota will probably use a similar engine but more robust and design for RWD/4WD in the future.
Talking about the nx 250 and saying “i highly recommend skipping that” hurt my feelings lmao no wonder not a lot of reviews for the 250.. but thats what i got lol
Is it good offroad ?
plz plz plz make a comparsion between nx350 and rdx 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭
The Rdx would win hands down in just about every way
$55k!? Dude, April fools was like 3 weeks ago!
Overall I like it. However, Lexus is starting to cut cost where they shouldn't. I spotted more shared Toyota components than older Lexus models. There are mainstream vehicles(Mazda CX5 Signature and Hyundai Santa Fe Caligraphy) that aren't that far off the package this vehicle offers for a lot less. I think at $48000 to $50000 this particular model makes a case for itself l, but at $55000 I would get the GV70 or fully loaded RDX.
What do you mean? I can‘t really see many Toyota parts, except for the window controls.
I see cost cutting in the interior too
They could have simply taken the interior from the venza and just leveled up from there But they didn’t. Even some Toyotas these days have nicer interiors. Venza or even a Camry xle XSE are more luxurious inside than the nx
@@naveenthemachine not a Toyota/Lexus fan but just looking at it the inside of the Lexus definitely looks better than the venza and Camry in my eyes

Yep1 underpowered However the 450h+ F Sport has 306 HP and elec / VERY quick torque out of the hole!
The problem with Lexus is they make the car building so confusing. Once you figured out what trims you want, there is a bunch of options and you no longer know what you paying for at $59k
I agree 100% with you! The first time I ran into that confusion was with the Camry; even within a trim I found out that there were multiple options. For example, if you wanted an SE you’d see one with a moonroof and another SE that was totally missing a moonroof; one with incandescent flashers and another with LED flashers. It was a crazy mix and match situation going on. Same confusion was in the Lexus lineup.
@@Liger._King it’s all about customization. That’s what Toyota and Lexus are doing. Offering ways to mix and match packages in many many trim levels

Soon they may end up like Infiniti and eventually go out of business
Damn Your Ruthless
Where toyota and lexus are lacking is material quality, interior design and technology, they need to step their game up.
The dashboard and door panels should look a lot better it doesn't look luxurious at all.
Imo they could have used the Camry xse or venza inteiror as a start and gone up from there
Really disappointed the interior doesn’t keep up with the beautiful exterior and powertrain.
The one thing that ruins the interior is the dashboard. Like why is it just so bland????

@@billyrock8305 comparing a dressed up rav4 to a Porsche macan shows your lack of knowledge of cars. The rav4 cannot hold a thread to the Porsche
@@naveenthemachine Your lack of automobile knowledge is astonishing. The Porsche beats the NX in handling, acceleration and braking. That is not the sum of any vehicle. It does not beat it in price, quality, reliability, technology, safety features, quietness, value for the money, fuel economy performance. The Macan doesn’t even have a remote start 🙈. On the track the Porsche any day. The real world is totally different.
@@billyrock8305 if you care about value then yes the Lexus is much better
But is the Porsche better than the NX? Absolutely yes.
This has a glovebox!!!
i miss the rioja red offered on the fsport. circuit red is too bright
Another excellent review. I'm buying the F-Sport.
You don’t want to. I would strongly look at the Rdx aspec or thr gv70
Looks good but cheap interior material (not real leather and lots of plastic)
Not sure if I want this or a Mdx aspec
You mean Acura RDX? MDX is an upper class, similar to Lexus RX
Things go awry when you start comparing the 2022 Lexus NX350 to the competition. We've tested a number of Acura RDXs, the most recent of which was a 2020 Advance AWD model that hit 60 in 6.8 seconds, a full half second quicker than the Lexus. That's a difference you'll feel. So is the Q5's performance; we've tested a 2021 AWD model reaching 60 in only 5.7 seconds. Motor Trend
Not sure why you say they are FORCED to do a full redesign. From 2015 to 2022 is a normal redesign for Lexus.
Just feels like a lackluster overall effort to me.
See my original comment ☝️
Don’t forget $7,500 incentive y’all!
The sad part is I feel Lexus wants the NX 350h as their volume seller, likely to cater to the demand of greater MPG in this day and age, but it terms of powertrain refinement and power the NX 350 with this 2.4L Turbo is the superior choice over the somewhat buzzy 2.5L Hybrid setup of the former. The 350 also gets a permanent AWD system with a default 75:25 torque split whereas the hybrid usually just powers the front axles for greater MPG.
