I'm an old Lexus lover, having owned 5 over the past 20 years. I just went with the NX350 Luxury package, only because the 350h was 3 months backordered and they were charging $5k over MSRP. Actually got the white and wanted the Palomino interior but that also was not on their radar for a couple of months so had to settle for black. Lexus was just awarded the top spot for dependability this week which was a major reason I went with Lexus. I never had one that had any sort of mechanical problem. The dealer was very accomodating with my trade in. Gave me $1,500 OFF MSRP of the new NX350 and also gave me $2,000 OVER other dealers valuation for my Honda Touring, so I got approx. 7% discount off the MSRP. Pretty happy with the deal but still not used to spending over $50k for a car.
First congratulations and welcome to the channel! We are completely aligned, we really wanted to go with the Lexus, because of our experience with previous vehicles and the reliability. Sounds like you got a great deal as well and I agree with you, not used to paying this price for a car. Nonetheless, we are so happy with it with just a few thousand kilometres of driving. Now it’s not 100% perfect but it’s pretty damn close. I’ll be making a video on those specific items shortly to share and curious if you see the same.
We can get the NX350H in the SF Bay Area at MSRP now with no add ons. The NX hybrid we spec it is around $46-7K. Just put in a deposit on one, wait time is at least 3-6 months. Seems like Lexus is producing more RX350H at the Canadian plant than the Japan plant where the built the NX hybrid. But we did want to spend $55-60K+tax fee on an RX hybrid though.
I like the big 😁, my wife hates it and wanted to buy the R4 Limited. I said everyone has a RV4 it's like an a$$ ...le 😂 . You know it's a Lexus in your rear view mirror.
I purchased a 2023 NX350 luxury nori green and black interior. I love it. I had previously owned a white 2011 Lexus ISC and was ready for a change. I am so happy with the purchase.
Great walkaround tour. Lexus/Toyota followed by Honda/Acura are the only ones I would trust for long term dependability and reliability. Especially in the hybrid/EV area.
You made the best choice with the Lexus, the Audi Q5 is dated and not to mention junk, the Genesis is even worse. I was at a Lexus dealer a week ago looking at the same vehicle, can't wait to buy one, just waiting until these dealers get off their high horse as they think they can still rip people off. Great video.
I agree with you on the Q5. Really was disappointed with the interior touch point, the screen was small and the UI/UX on the infotainment system felt a decade old. I’d argue tho the Genesis is a step above the Q5 all around. My advice: Don’t pay more than MSRP. Look for a dealer who will do a fair sale on one for you ☝️
@@Mimi-el7rs I do notice denim transfer on the seat of my palomino interior. I have the leather seats and clean them with leather cleaner and conditioner once or twice a year. I should say that I don't have kids or pets and my car looks pretty pristine 2.5 years out.
@@adriennetuck9340 thank you! how about the cloudburst grey exterior, does it show dirt/ wear easily? I had the white before and it was a pretty low maintenance color but i’m really liking the dark grey
Hey Sonduren, I watch a lot of Toyota and Lexus content especially from AMD at TheCarCareNut and hes always advising to change the oil in any Toyota/Lexus at 5000 miles or 8000 kilometers in order to prevent oil burning in the future. I know you love your new Lexus and any of your cars but dont follow the 10,000 mile oil change that the dealer recommends go by 5000 miles which is the engineers oil change interval.
You are absolutely right thanks for the heads up. I actually changed the oil on my NX at 5,000km for the first oil change as well: ua-cam.com/video/QgTbSCr8DWw/v-deo.html
They didn’t unfortunately. Especially in Ontario right now. The amount of thefts is insane. I would recommend doing everything you can, in terms of adding deterrence like a club, cameras and parking inside a garage.
Only because they do Not have the money. The 450h+ "F" Sport is still less expensive than any Euro unreliable and plummiting resale vehicle......Get the 450h+ F Sport and do not use gas at all...end of story!
Test drove the 450h+, not worth the $15K difference vs the standard hybrid. it the way my wife drives. She does not need nor want the acceleration and drives 500 miles per month.
That torque number is just for the engine excluding the electric motor. Lexus and Toyota don't explicitly mention combined torque, but it's definitely higher than 167 lb-ft!
@@carswithsonduren thanks for your reply … I will keep you posted . Getting my delivery at the end of this month ,,, congrats to you on your new car ..
I’m my opinion, not as needed as a German car for example. The base warranty is already excellent with the Lexus. It’s all up to you at the end of the day.
Love your NX350H videos! We have one on order, exact same package as you and same interior. Love your passion for the brand, this will be our 5th Lexus!
Hello! New to your channel. I currently own a Tesla Model 3 for only a little over a year. Not too happy with the build so looking into this car. I previously owned a Lexus and really miss it. Just curious but did you look into the Toyota Venza as well?
We did look at the Venza but was not a fan. The interior is meh and overall I thought the money to go to the Lexus was worth it. Go test drive both, you will obviously appreciate the luxury of the Lexus.
Thanks for the great video. I’ve been thinking about getting one of these but was concerned about the space the back. How is it for rear facing child seats?
So this is tighter with a rear facing baby seat, the front seats can’t be put back all the way and needs to be up a bit. If you really want the extra room I’d go with the RX. Though for us we are happy with it with our newborn.
Did you buy any extended warranty Lexus offered? I’m really interested in purchasing one however I just want to know if any extended warranty that dealerships offer are worth it, I bought one for my Honda CRV 2013 and never used it once.
I just ordered a NX 350h in Grecian water and black interior same like yours ultra lux. Do you know if the roof liner is the same colour as the seats. I noticed your entire interior is palomino, and the roof isn’t white like normal.
@@mikej238 hmmm I googled some pictures with black seats and seems like the headliner is white like normal. Only F sport and palomino seem to have black headliners
You can get a bigger tire wall which should help if you hit curbs or anything else. Plus it’s cheaper than having 20s for the winter and better road feel.
@@carswithsonduren I want the same colour combo as yours but maybe in 2025. The plan is to finance no more than 50% and I'll be trading in my 2013 IS250 (it's also pearl white)
@@carswithsonduren I have a 2022 nx350H same exterior color and trying to get the black wheel to match the white exterior (I have 20-inch wheel) what is the best way to do this? Replace with the black wheel or just get the wheel coating?
We just put in a deposit on a NX350H with a SF Bay Area dealer, MSRP with no add ins. The wait time is at least 3-6 months. I do see a lot of higher trim Luxury package not being sold which I understand. At $55K, I would rather buy a RX350H Premium trim.
@@diannahersch5755 Stevens Creek is pure MSRP with no add ons, so I put in a deposit with them. Fremont is MSRP with $900 add ons, but the add ons is very negotiable if you are serious of buying. Yeah Concord is absolutely crazy to want $10K markups especially in the current market situation. I contact Longo but the wait is like a year.
Ordered mine over a year ago... still waiting. Test drove it a few weeks ago. The engine is a little whiny - they should have added more sound insulation. Either than that it's fine.
Agree with you. The engine is a bit rough sounding but I still can’t believe you’re waiting. I really hope you get here as soon as possible waiting a year as a long time.
Just ordered mine. 2024 NX 350h Nori Green w blk/rich creme. To me it's enough of city sports cart with a hint of luxury. Looking forward to driving it. Cheers and congrats to your growing family!
Great car! And I am also looking for one. Where did you buy this car from? Will it possible to tell how much paid over MSRP? I am in California and all dealership I talked are asking to put deposit without a confirmed date of delivery:(
@@carswithsonduren It should though I did not explicitly ask. The difficulty part is that they could not give a date on when I can get the car, and told me based on the waiting list, it could take several years. Hope manufacture can speed up their production.
@John if you're car shopping in SoCal, the Lexus dealerships in Cerritos and Carlsbad were selling NXs at MSRP. I got my 2022 450h+ at Cerritos, August last year. The also did not have a waitlist at the time, you just have to be at the dealership when they get their monthly allocations.
Not an option these are replicas I got some a local shop. So far I do wish the profile management was easier to use but once it’s setup it’s fine. Still pretty early with it, the wireless charger does require a thin case to properly work.
100% agree Aaron! Our 2009 Lexus IS250 just hit over 370K! Still runs like a tank. And I have a lot of confidence with this hybrid system since they’ve been doing it for so long and the warranty backs that up!
Traded in my 2020 NX 300 H premium for the 2024 NX 350 premium. I didn’t want to wait for the Hybrid although I’m really going to miss the amazing gas mileage. I just wish Lexus would offer interior colors that aren’t two tone. With the limited options I just get the black interior. Even with a minor accident my trade in value was great!
@@carswithsonduren The white looks great but we’re going for the green as about 60% of the cars here in Japan are white 😂 As for the package, Lexus Japan let’s you pick and choose from any available option unlike in Canada.
Great tour. Just some feedback - things like the brake assist when you're at a light can be a big deal for folks with chronic pain or disabilities so I wouldn't phrase it "lazy."
if I'm being honest here.... whoever can't maneuver around a tight drive-thru lane and require surround view camera... well.. he/she probably shouldn't be driving on public roads?
@@carswithsonduren it just went into production in Germany 2 days ago, so it will probably arrive in Eastern U.S. in 1st week of March, hopefully. :) FYI, my current car is a 7-year-old Lexus RX with 180,000 miles that still drives beautifully. :)
Mike not sure if you are talking to me or Billy. I am looking at the owners manual infront of me and it says 87 is the minimum required and that 91 is recommended.
@@mikej238 💯 correct as per Lexus HQ: “ If you currently drive a 2022 or 2023 Lexus NX 350h the luxury SUV requires premium gas with an octane rating of 91 or higher. Anything less resulting in mechanical failure will not be covered under Lexus warranty provisions” And you won’t achieve peak performance nor maximum fuel efficiency. Why not use the proper fuel Lexus engineers recommend?
@@carswithsonduren you are correct . Billy keeps posting that error. The NX350H as per manual is fine with 87. Don't know why they recommend premium The engine spec, is the exact same as the Rav 4 bore stoke and compression. Only difference is larger 46kw electric motor giving it more HP than a Rav 4 Hybrid

@@carswithsonduren I have a 2022 nx350H same exterior color and trying to get the black wheel to match the white exterior (I have 20-inch wheel) what is the best way to do this? Replace with the black wheel or just get the wheel coating?
I enjoy your videos
Thanks man I appreciate you :) Hoping to continue to up the production quality and hopefully make you guys laugh along the way!
I like the palomino interior. My UX250h has glazed caramel interior.
Nice how you liking the UX? How has fuel economy been?
Averaging 37-40 mpg. Very smooth and good acceleration.
That’s very good and are you putting in regular or premium gas?
Using regular gas.
Same here yep
trying to get one! so hard to get one in California. just the hybrid
Yea I heard there is like a 1 year wait now
We just put in a deposit on a NX350H with a SF Bay Area dealer, MSRP with no add ins. The wait time is at least 3-6 months. I do see a lot of higher trim Luxury package not being sold which I understand. At $55K, I would rather buy a RX350H Premium trim.
@@jml9550 I have only found Serramonte doing msrp. I ordered one from Longo in southern ca. bigger inventory. Concord wants 10k over msrp
@@diannahersch5755 Stevens Creek is pure MSRP with no add ons, so I put in a deposit with them. Fremont is MSRP with $900 add ons, but the add ons is very negotiable if you are serious of buying. Yeah Concord is absolutely crazy to want $10K markups especially in the current market situation. I contact Longo but the wait is like a year.
@@jml9550 ok thanks. Maybe I will make another order at Steven’s creek! Which car are you getting?
Great Video!
Thank you and welcome to the channel!
Does your wireless charger work with your iPhone?
It does with my slim case. It was finicky with my wife’s larger case.
@@carswithsonduren what model you have? It doesn't work for my 14 pro
Interesting are you using a case or not? I’m on a iPhone 13 Pro Max.
@@carswithsonduren look at my channel. I have a few videos on it.
I’ll check and sub :)
Ordered mine over a year ago... still waiting. Test drove it a few weeks ago. The engine is a little whiny - they should have added more sound insulation. Either than that it's fine.
Agree with you. The engine is a bit rough sounding but I still can’t believe you’re waiting. I really hope you get here as soon as possible waiting a year as a long time.
Awesome man!
It’s indeed a beauty :)
Just ordered mine. 2024 NX 350h Nori Green w blk/rich creme. To me it's enough of city sports cart with a hint of luxury. Looking forward to driving it. Cheers and congrats to your growing family!
Thanks man! Welcome to the channel as well and congratulations on your order. Nori Green was our 2nd choice for color it’s a stunning one!
Beautiful SUV
Do you have have to pay for remote start after the free trial?
Yes after 3 years I believe. Lame.
What was the total price that you paid with taxes and fees?
MSRP is about $64K CAD plus taxes in whatever state or province you are in.
beautiful
did you consider a BMW x3?
It was one of the other SUVs in a larger group that we disqualified early on. We felt the interior luxury was lacking and that was important to us
Good review. I gave mine back after two weeks. I hated the ride! Bouncing all over the place.
What did you end up picking up instead?
@@carswithsonduren An Acura TLX. Very different. I wanted a good driving car. Thanks for asking.
@thinkingoutsidethebox2265 nice which year btw? I haven’t driven the new ones yet.
@@carswithsonduren 2023 platinum elite
Great car! And I am also looking for one. Where did you buy this car from? Will it possible to tell how much paid over MSRP? I am in California and all dealership I talked are asking to put deposit without a confirmed date of delivery:(
We paid exactly MSRP. Is the deposit refundable?
@@carswithsonduren It should though I did not explicitly ask. The difficulty part is that they could not give a date on when I can get the car, and told me based on the waiting list, it could take several years. Hope manufacture can speed up their production.
Several years? That’s insane…. This is for the 350H?
@John if you're car shopping in SoCal, the Lexus dealerships in Cerritos and Carlsbad were selling NXs at MSRP. I got my 2022 450h+ at Cerritos, August last year. The also did not have a waitlist at the time, you just have to be at the dealership when they get their monthly allocations.
Nice video giving the useful use guide 👍
Thanks, John! More videos to come!
Awesome 👏
Anything you don’t like?
The black wheels look great, but not an option on the 350h?
Not an option these are replicas I got some a local shop. So far I do wish the profile management was easier to use but once it’s setup it’s fine. Still pretty early with it, the wireless charger does require a thin case to properly work.
@@carswithsonduren What issues?
how long did it take for delivery after order
We got lucky Mike! We picked up a cancelled order with the exact spec that we wanted and only had to wait about six weeks.
@@carswithsonduren yeah it's probably 8 months in Canada..for an NX350H..still waiting
Wow, that’s insane. I really hope you got yours as soon as possible Mike!
You won’t regret with the Lexus brand for reliability!
100% agree Aaron! Our 2009 Lexus IS250 just hit over 370K! Still runs like a tank. And I have a lot of confidence with this hybrid system since they’ve been doing it for so long and the warranty backs that up!
How much is your exact same car without hybrid please?
@@carswithsonduren I used to have Honda accord with over 210k but sold it to my co-worker and he still drives it
Another brand with top reliability 👌
Thank you for showing us this beautiful SUV
I love the black wheels
How much were they and where did you buy them.
I’m in Vancouver bc
Cheers
I got these for $2100 with the tires from a Toronto tire shop not sure who would have them in BC!
Traded in my 2020 NX 300 H premium for the 2024 NX 350 premium. I didn’t want to wait for the Hybrid although I’m really going to miss the amazing gas mileage. I just wish Lexus would offer interior colors that aren’t two tone. With the limited options I just get the black interior. Even with a minor accident my trade in value was great!
That’s awesome to hear congratulations:) What exterior colour did you get?
I got the white exterior! I also got $30k for my trade in with 37k miles driven
No shade but couldn’t you have just gotten the rav4 prime? They’re the same car?
The Lexus is obviously more luxurious but the platform is the same correct!
Soooo it’s just an overpriced Venza?😂 got it
Have you compared the 2 yourself? Absolutely not.
Very comprehensive and helpful review. I’m sold on the 350h now. Thank you!
Anytime and welcome to the channel! So now the question is which package and which colour combo?!
@@carswithsonduren The white looks great but we’re going for the green as about 60% of the cars here in Japan are white 😂 As for the package, Lexus Japan let’s you pick and choose from any available option unlike in Canada.
Interesting! The green we really considered as well very unique and beautiful. Classy.
Great tour. Just some feedback - things like the brake assist when you're at a light can be a big deal for folks with chronic pain or disabilities so I wouldn't phrase it "lazy."
Very true I did not think of that!
What was your main reason to go with the NX350h vs NX450h+
I’m creating a video on this topic but to summarize it the infrastructure for charging in North America is crappy especially in Canada.
He does not have the money!!!!
if I'm being honest here.... whoever can't maneuver around a tight drive-thru lane and require surround view camera... well.. he/she probably shouldn't be driving on public roads?
Well I’d say if those who are unfamiliar with the car dimensions etc. Maybe it’s a tight spot etc etc.
@@carswithsonduren I seriously considered the NX... but ended up with the new BMW X1(U11) because I wanted something short for city driving.(NYC)
Nice how are you liking it so far?!
@@carswithsonduren it just went into production in Germany 2 days ago, so it will probably arrive in Eastern U.S. in 1st week of March, hopefully. :) FYI, my current car is a 7-year-old Lexus RX with 180,000 miles that still drives beautifully. :)
Fuel is premium. Not regular. ⛽️
Per the NX 350H manual, premium is recommended, not required. For the NX 350, premium is required.
wrong, again, how many times have you posted that nonsense
Mike not sure if you are talking to me or Billy. I am looking at the owners manual infront of me and it says 87 is the minimum required and that 91 is recommended.
@@mikej238 💯 correct as per Lexus HQ:
“ If you currently drive a 2022 or 2023 Lexus NX 350h the luxury SUV requires premium gas with an octane rating of 91 or higher. Anything less resulting in mechanical failure will not be covered under Lexus warranty provisions”
And you won’t achieve peak performance nor maximum fuel efficiency.
Why not use the proper fuel Lexus engineers recommend?
@@carswithsonduren you are correct . Billy keeps posting that error.
The NX350H as per manual is fine with 87.
Don't know why they recommend premium
The engine spec, is the exact same as the Rav 4 bore stoke and compression. Only difference is larger 46kw electric motor giving it more HP than a Rav 4 Hybrid
Just for flexing…

Will it impact your warranty if you do the maintenance yourself? Something to think about since the car is new. Thanks for the video. ✨🫶
It won’t! You just need to make sure you have proof of the materials you use, proof of work etc and it will be fine. I also confirmed this with Lexus.
Vehicle is same as rav 4 except tech part plus you have to pay more for maintance 😂
You say it’s the same but then say it’s different with the tech. I have driven both and there’s a lot more differences than just the tech lol.
@@carswithsonduren your driving a dav 4 platform nothing is different you paying for that stupid badge 😂
*badge
@@carswithsonduren do a video comparison
Where is your Audi did you trash it since your home boy Justin Trudeau fucked up using carbon tax
IMO the only negative is the piano black surfaces on the interior particularly the bezel that surrounds the infotainment screen. Smudges/fingerprints will be ever present.
That’s true I am going to actually be putting a protective film over it to cover it up and avoid scratching the hell out of it!
