What do you guys think of the new 2023 Lexus NX350H? Was it the right choice? Check out my full walk around video: ua-cam.com/video/FQMyp1gTsCI/v-deo.html
@@lujiuwang6220 So the RX by itself is an extra 10K. I personally did not notice the small difference in size between the NX and the RX. Also personally, I like the NX styling better than the new RX. The 2 are very similar otherwise.
@@carswithsonduren Thank you for your reply wish to see more coming video about 2023 NX and IS 250，btw I also own 2010 IS 250 RWD wants to learn more from your video.
Interior nice. Cloudburst grey better external colour. Run flat tires noisy. Must replace all if one fails. Door handles frustrating. 14” display awesome. Tons of tech. ✅
None of the Other Vehicles you mention here has the Kind of Quality and Reliability of a Lexus. Other than that the Resale Value of a Lexus is always Second to None. Take good care of the Lexus and you can give it to your Kids when they go to College.
Yea he’s right in my opinion Lexus is a better buy and I will continue sticking with Lexus just got rid of my bmw and got an 2019 Lexus Nx 300 F sport and I’m telling you I love it better then the bmw and I will never buy a bmw again
Congrats on the addition to the fam and congrats on the new vehicle! Can't go wrong with Lexus for exactly all the reasons you mentioned. While watching I was hoping you kept the IS. Glad you did.
Thanks brother! Going to have some fun in this and just still honeymooning over it. Definitely keeping the IS. I was just looking at it, still so classy.
😢😢😢 I'm so excited for you guys, and can't wait to share in the experience in 2 months. Really happy for you, and trust me when I say you made the right choice. Peace of mind is top priority for me when buying a car and the NX will deliver. Congratulations 🎊 on the car and the baby 👶
Congratulations on your purchase. If I may, how much did it cost you with the Ultra Luxury package and is there any negotiation/added services you were able to get with Lexus on your purchase? I appreciate the valuable response.
Thanks Franky! I paid MSRP with no additional fees or service charges plus provincial tax. You can use the website builder online and it will price out your exact spec for you.
Hi, here is my Update! test drive NX350h .... but sorry bro way yoo boring plus the sound system is terrible so waiting for Atlas Cross Sport 2024 then will make a decision
Very nice congratulations Shawn! What colour combo did you go with? How are you liking it so far? I just have over 600 km on mine but I’m curious to hear what your current thoughts are? I’ll obviously be updating my progression with the NX as well :)
@@carswithsonduren I have the Atomic Silver with the red and black interior. I am loving the car a lot, I can't stop looking at it and find myself wanting to drive everyone now whereas, with my previous automobile, I always found a reason not to drive...LOL
I love it! I recently purchased a Lexus ES300h, ultra luxury model with the same exterior paint color as well as the same interior leather color as your new NX. I wanted to go with the NX but ultimately opted for the ES which has more real leg room to accommodate my 85 year old father-in-law, who has mobility issues and needs more room to be able to get in and out of the car. I have to tell you that I test drove a Toyota Rav4 with the digital rear view mirror and it made me dizzy! I understand that you like it, but me, not so much. Enjoy your new Lexus.
Sounds like an amazing choice regardless at least we have the same taste in colour combo ;) it seems it’s either you love the rear mirror camera or hate it! Appreciate it and you’ll see more of this in future videos :) Cheers!
Similar dilemma here, with 86 year old mother-in-law living with us. Almost bought the es300h last week, but decided to wait and see if this nx350h would be a little easier for entry and exit. Do you think this 350h is a noticeable height difference?
Good choice! We have a ‘21 RAV4 with the same engine. We are very happy with its performance. Several NX owners on UA-cam have swapped their run flats for the tradition tires. They say it has a better ride and gas mileage. Also, rather than purchase new rims consider having those powder coated. The cost is must less. We have a white RX and powder coated the rims in a black chrome. They are just striking.
Congratulations you did the right choice I own a Lexus and the new Camry xse model and great cars top quality and super comfort and reliable again congratulations for your LEXUS ❤❤
Car looks great! Congratulations! The palomino interior is everything! So glad I was able to get it. No Mark Levinson? Were you impacted by the part shortage?
Thanks man :) No Mark Levinson as that was part of the executive package and we got the ultra luxury package. It was a cancelled order we took and it had everything we wanted minus that ML systems, HUD and rear power seats as part of the executive package.
Completely agree I’m actually coming out with a video very soon explaining all the reasons why I went with hybrid over electric personally and probably a lot of those reasons are what you think as well.
YO man almost same condition like you I got a corolla 2013 is my first car now I have the spare money to replace it! I prefer NX350H I like the 14-inch large screen at the rear and the same color as yours white and polomino, also big jump for new tech, before I considered q5 xc60 or even x3 glc but they just give me a feeling like a luxury car rented at a car dealership when I go out on a trip. Lexus is different. There is a special connection that allows two arms to control the steering wheel It’s a very comfortable driving experience with your elbows on the side.I live in Vancouver, I chose ultra luxury, so your video is very useful to me. I also ordered a car. I hope to drive a new car in the summer and look forward your update! Experience of driving for several months, advantages and disadvantages, etc. THANK YOU!
@@carswithsonduren Because the delivery time of the ordered car is definitely later than May, it will be a 2024 model, which will not be later than half a year, but I personally feel that it should be around June, and some people will cancel the order, so I hope it will not be too long. ! The weather in Vancouver is pleasant, not too cold as other city in CA. The key is that there are too many delicious foods. That’s right, I’m talking about Chinese food is No. 1, haha
I LOVE this car! I've been trying to find a Lexxus NX for over a year! I think because I'm a female, dealers think I'm dumb! So many of the used cars are from flooded areas. I decided to buy a new one, very reluctantly. Now, I can't get a dealer to call me back! I'm thinking of calling the VP of Lexxus!
Congratulations! This is a major upgrade and im sure youll love it for years to come. 800 miles..... just insane! Also, I think the regular mirror mode is better for me than the camera but I am an old school guy!
Thanks Alan! Honestly I thought the same as you but after using it at nighttime it was a gamer changer. Much better visibility all around with a wider FOV.
I went through the same thing. I looked at several luxury vehicles. I got the 23 LX NX350H. Mine was a canceled order also. I wasn’t expecting mine until spring. I absolutely love it. It’s amazing on the highway. I love that predictive cruise control. It doesn’t have an impressive sound system…that’s my only gripe. Personally, I think you all should have gotten the RX. I think it would have been a little more comfortable with kids.
I really like the predictive cruise control as well. Congratulations we both got lucky :) honestly were toying around with that idea but we really didn’t find it that much bigger 😕
Thanks for sharing your video nice car NX 350h very good on gas ⛽ in June of 2022 i went to milton toyota to buy a 2022 venza hybrid limited and the dealer told me i have to wait 12 months to get the car but after 3 weeks the sale person call me to pickup the car and i told the sale person you told to wait for 12 months and the sale person told me the person order that car was canceled 8 months ago the same limited edition that i order and the technology in the venza is the same like NX but one thing NX don't have is stargaze roof but the NX have little more horsepowers than the venza and you bought the right car is reliable good on gas forget about European cars they are not reliable as toyota family good luck and take care bye from milton Ontario Canada
@@andrzejbudzynski9237 Yes, delivery in Europe is catastrophic. I bought a NX in april 2022 and it should be delivered januari 2023 (9 months). But now I got notice from Lexus that delivery is delayed is earliest june 2023 and possible later than that. Cancelling the buy is only possible if paying a serious fine. For such a luxury brand they threat there customers (at least here) like ...
Congrats. You are lucky person. Hope you enjoy this beautiful car. Here, in Belgium, it is a disaster. After nine months they gave (1 week befor delivery) news that I have to wait at least 6 more months. Even the new delivery date is unconfirmed. And cancelling the order is only possible if paying a serious fine. I'm really hoping that they speed up delivery. But for now it's frustrating.
Love this exact configuration of the NX, I am so happy for you guys! My partner bought a 22' Jeep Grand Cherokee and it has the rearview mirror camera, I personally prefer the camera over the regular mirror view. It does take some time to get used it, specially because of your eyes.
Congratulations Sonduren! I remember a few months back that you were testing various vehicles and finally seeing that you narrowed it down to this is a great choice! I have a feeling it was your wife that made the final decision but that's married life I guess. 😆 See if you can figure out what that 'battery low' icon means in the digital rearview mirror in the upper right hand corner. Are you keeping your '09 IS 250 and R8 still? Also, was there seriously not a single $ discount on these cars? I think you got those rubber mats thrown in?
LOL believe it or not my wife and me were completely aligned on everything after testing all the cars. It was a 100% unanimous decision which made the purchase super easy. I will absolutely be keeping both of them! The IS250 will now be our backup car, still looks good and runs great. Not a single discount payed full MSRP. The rubber floor mats and 2 coffee mugs 😂
@@carswithsonduren Buying cars nowadays is as bad as buying motorcycles - never discount plus various dealer fees and non standardized freight charges. Are you still thinking of that Streetfighter V2 or is that out of the question now that you're a married man. 😆
I’ll be real. That dream could happen in a few years for the streetfighter but I’d only be allowed to putter to the nearest coffee shop and back 😂 Semi serious joking aside, not in the immediate or medium term.
One car to never buy brand new ? NISSAN! My sister bought a brand new one back in 2016. A crappy looking car called a Versa. Wow that car was so basic. But the thing that went bad ? CVT transmission. It broke on her before 100k miles. She drives a 2017 Corolla now and it’s way better, but I think she should have gotten a Lexus IS250 like yours. Now that car is a tank. Now you have two with the NX.
What a beautiful car. Great for a family for sure. When my girlfriend and I get married later this year and we have a child shortly after that… goodbye IS250! Kidding I’m keeping it. We will just get like a Toyota Highlander. She really likes those her sister has one. I like those too. Maybe I can convince her to get the Lexus NX instead.
I have 2020 NX 300 premium I love it’s a white Color “eminent white” with red/black 🤙🏼the new Lex is nice Congrats 🎉take care of it!! I have traded my 2021 Toyota RAV4 Limited for my Lex and made a Great choice.. At the end of the day yes German Cars are nice yes our fathers love Benz as you know from back home we are all immigrants and have that thing for Audi, Benz, BMW, but that being said reliability on Lexus and Craftsmaship is next to none🤌🏼 Happy Miles for you Guys 🙏🏻 Alan H
I got the 350h as soon as it was released 8 years ago. Love it. But couldn’t resist the tech stuff in the new one. Been waiting 9 mos for delivery. Just arrived. Exec package, white exterior, red interior. But it does need premium fuel.
Very nice congratulations! What package did you get with it? Also FYI I am looking at the owners manual now: Per the NX 350H manual, premium is recommended, not required. For the NX 350, premium is required.
Congratulations! We just got our 2023 RX350h in Red last week, Love it! The only bummer was that Lexus stopped giving 2 key fobs at delivery, we’ll get the 2nd one EVENTUALLY 😨
Congratulations! I bought a 2022 NX350H in Canada, driving daily to work and it is amazing! The average saving of 40-50% on gas remains during snow time as well. I know because I got a NX250 first, then drove for half a year and switched to NX350H LOL. Same engine one with hybrid battery one without haha.
That’s awesome how many kilometres do you have on it now?! What’s been your average fuel economy? I do wish the tank size was a little bigger so far but nothing major.
So sick! I'm jealous. I test drove one and was going to buy it, but went with a 2023 Rav4 Prime instead for the better fuel efficiency. Can't go wrong either way.
At nighttime when driving, I prefer the regular mirror. In daylight, backing up and not using the backup camera, which is almost never, I prefer the digital mirror.
Honestly, that’s tough because you have to look into just specific hybrids. Most of the models that we cross shopped were not hybrid in the same price category. Correct me if I’m wrong, but in this category and then this price bracket, this was one of the only options?
Unfortunately, they didn't have an ES300H available for testing, and weren't getting one in the near future. We went with Erin Park Lexus and are very happy.@@carswithsonduren
Congratulations, beautiful car/crossover. My previous Lexus IS 250 awd I kept for 10 years and my current RC350 Lux package awd is on its 7th year. I keep my cars for long time. I am still on the fence with Hybrids. How long do the batteries last and how much would it cost for replacements, for non-plug ins? thanks.
Love your vids! I’m In your neighborhood too 👍 I hope you make a lot of maintenance videos on the NX. I’m getting my NX in April after a year wait. I prefer to do all the maintenance myself, but helpful NX videos will be few and far between. Looking forward to them!
I build these cars and the RX at the plant in Cambridge. I worked at Honda plant and Toyota. I won’t buy any car other than Toyota or Lexus. I see the attention to detail in Quality Control. Obviously not perfect, but the highest standards I’ve seen.
No way that’s awesome. You should say hi next time we see each other around! Absolutely I am the same way. I will be doing all the maintenance and sharing everything along the journey with you all 🙏.
That’s awesome! What part do you specifically oversee? My father actually supplies the aluminum sheets and he’s always in Cambridge. I visited many years ago and you could eat breakfast off of the floor when I was there 😅
We got lucky and picked up a canceled order and only had to wait one month! I have heard people waiting for six months or more for the hybrid option vehicles or the 450H.
Great video! So how do u find the back seat leg room…have you taken any 1hr+ trips with adults in the back and if so how did they find it? Also, what mileage have you been able to achieve since buying it?
We took an 8 hour drive to Chicago. Backseat was perfectly fine for me. Best mileage so far is about 5.7 L/100km in city driving. Really happy with it :)
Thanks man! I really wanted to make sure I got the big 14 inch screen as well. How are you liking your 2022 lower trim anyway outside of the interior feel?
I laughed when you said they had a cancelled order because Lexus told me the same thing when they had also told me prior to that I was the first one in line for that car but in green and that was after me asking where my car was after 4 months of waiting.
like your review! thx 👍 not too sure what you do for living but you are GOOD! many videos that you shared with us are super helpful👌 I want to replace my GLA250 SE1 2015 for either GLC300 2023 or VW Atlas Cross Sport 2024 ( but cannot ignore the EV, Hybrid world ( the future ) but i agree with you about your conclusion, i am from Montreal so Hybrid is better, so going to request for info between NX350H and the RX350H ( although the price is quite different ) THANKS MAN!!!! 🙏👍
@@carswithsonduren Hi, here is my Update! test drive NX350h .... but sorry bro way too boring plus the sound system is terrible so waiting for Atlas Cross Sport 2024 then will make a decision
100% getting the film on the hood of a requirement! So you are just sticking with all season tires? I always recommend snow tires but curious as to why you won’t get them?
I have the same black nx fsport that your buddy had in the beginning of the video. My only complaint is the small gas tank but other than that I love it!
About 5,500 so far. Really enjoy how it rides though. I think you made the right choice! The only thing I saw yours didn’t have that I love is the heads up display
Sweet! I love the interior colour of your new car! I just subscribed to your channel to learn how to properly clean and maintain our vehiclel. Cool to see you're in Oakville. I`m in Espanola, near Sudbury. Thank you so much for your excellent and informative videos!
@@carswithsonduren really great so far! I'm trying to go in order from you showing how to properly clean a vehicle, to claybar, to polish and finally ceramic coat. Thanks so much!
Congrats! I have the nx 350 h on my short list. Hiowe that you have had it for a while, any regrets? How is passing power on the 401?how is the stereo? What sound system did you get? Wind and road noise? Is you fuel economy close to what Lexus’s estimation. Thank you.
I just got a NX 350H myself Caviar Black exterior with Rioja Red interior. And even though the Genesis (Hyundai's luxury brand) may look enticing (I was coming from a Hyundai Nexo Limited Fuel-Cell SUV and overall I like the direction Hyundai/Genesis is going in), I can tell you Hyundai's customer service was absolutely atrocious compared to previous experiences I've had with Toyota/Lexus. If Hyundai was that bad, I'm sure Genesis wouldn't be too far off in terms of customer service. From what you're saying, I'm glad I ended up with the Lexus.
@@carswithsonduren I'm not doing any PPF or ceramic on it - I'm leasing so I'd have to take it off the car after 3 years. I'm in Southern California, so not really dealing with any crazy weather and am happy to keep it as is lol.
Congratulations on your new NX! Such a great all around SUV. Do you do anything to prevent “relay attacks”? As you know, Newer Lexus and Toyota models are highly sought after overseas, and thus heavily targeted to be stolen.
Thanks James! Yes you should use a Faraday box which will help prevent theft. I’m making a video of the 5 things I am doing to prevent theft coming in a few days so stay tuned :)
@Cars with Sonduren So I'm on my 3rd Lexus.. currently a '20 NX. Contemplating trading in for the NX450h+. Anyway, that said, I noticed the salesman who did your walk through did not mention a tip for your keyfob. They just usually don't for whatever reason. However, if you hold down the lock button, and tap unlock twice. The led will blink 4 times. The key fob is now in sleep mode or off. It is not transmitting a signal anymore, so in other words, relay attacks cannot work. The key could be sitting on the car, and it will not work. To turn it back on, or wake it. Push any button on the fob once. Just thought it would be nice to know.. don't have to worry about Faraday boxes, etc.. hope this hack helps!
@Cars with Sonduren Amazing! Now, if you can lock the dataport... the SUV would be so much more difficult to steal. Rumor is, Lexus will be implementing UWB tech into 2024 models going forward. So proximity of the physical fob to the car will be required. One question I have about your NX, how close are you to getting advertised fuel economy?
Right now in winter conditions, averaging on the low-end of 7L/100KM. In warmer temperatures better than this but right now obviously we are in winter.
Dude, congratulations the GV 80 is a true luxury executive class beast. Genesis honestly did such an amazing job with their vehicles. I was so impressed with the interior build quality and finish. When do you expect to receive it?
@@carswithsonduren End of the month for now, fingers crossed. We were very impressed. True luxury indeed. Previously we had the Q50 Red Sport 400HP. Different kind of a beast lol. Do you live in Oakville? I added you on linkedin as well.
I was able to get the NX350 Hybrid AWD as my loaner for a week while getting my Lexus serviced. I was thinking of trading my car in for the NX 250. But after driving my loaner, I've changed my mind. Its a small car for the price. Its also a gas guzzler hybrid. I feel cramped inside. Though the fake luxe pleather is nice, however that cheap plastic panel on the door is cheap. The shiny plastic on the dash is also cheap. Why does Lexus always integrate nice and cheap together? My service advisor told me the service on the NX 350 and NX 350H are more frequent than the NX 250, because of the Turbo and Hybrid engines. The cost is $750 per service. Ugh! I know Lexus is now charging a premium for service because no one is buying cars. They are making the loss in the service dept. I had my Lexus GS for 15 yrs and the service was always reasonable since the pandemic. Good luck!
@@carswithsonduren To clarify it's $750 every 40,000, 80,000, 120,000 mile interval for major service. It's $125 at 5000, 15,000, 25,000 intervals for a basic oil/filter change . And I think it was $300-400 at 10,000, 20,000, 30,000 intervals for oil/filter and diagnostic. The Turbo NX requires more rrequent service due to spark plugs, which I had no idea required it. I'm not getting the NX. I've changed my mind. Because I don't know of a trustworthy mechanic in my local area. I am getting a 2023 Camry SE. I am tired of luxury cars. I've had a BMW 3 Series, BMW X5 and Lexus GS350 and its becoming expensive to maintain these cars, something I've noticed since the pandemic. People are not buying cars. So dealerships are now charging a premium for car service. Its how they are now making their money in my opinion and experience, because they can't sell as many cars as they did pre-pandemic.
White is a very popular color here in Tennessee and across the entire south. This is a nice vehicle although I don't like the lack of a spare tire for one thing. If I lived in Ontario I would probably look at a hybrid because of the insane cost of fuel there.
@@carswithsonduren I'm an ex Anglo Quebecker. My son lives in North York. I like your car; I give all my used cars to one of my brothers (in Montréal) so I have a limit to how much I spend on new vehicles.
They didn’t do any of this work. I am actually doing it myself and I’m making some videos on it as well, so stay tuned and make sure you’re subscribed! If you do wanna get it done professionally, it will probably cost a couple thousand dollars.
In Australia, Lexus is a shit show. We ordered our NX350h F-Sport with Enhancement Pack 2 in February 2022 and were told 4-5 months. We ended up cancelling our order last week as the dealer still couldn’t give us a build date nearly a year later. I ended up ringing BMW and a guy’s finance fell through on a fully loaded brand new X1. The car is ready to board the ship. My wife and I were patient with Lexus but enough was enough. Congratulations on getting yours so quickly! Looks great!
Same here in Belgium. Ordered my Lexus NX in april 2022. Dealer told told that delivery should be september 2022 and at the very last januari 2023. Now they say I have to wait at least till june. Even that is unconfirmed. Cancelling order is only possible if paying a serious fine.
@@petermaris3860 that’s very annoying! Here in Australia, Toyota/Lexus will fully refund your deposit even up until you are given a build date as it’s impossible to get a car and not wait at least 12 months for hybrid models.
I was at the Lexus dealer in Sydney, Australia today (1 April 2023) ready to buy, but was told by the Sales Manager that wait time for the high spec NX 350H is approx. 2 years!! Had to walk away as I didn't want to wait that long. I hope Lexus can address the issue as they could be loosing potential customers.
@@carswithsonduren I have owned nx450h+ for 7 months. I live in PA where charging infrastructure is limited to none and many houses do not have garages not allowing to install a level 2 charger. So plugin hybrid option was the best. The car is fun to drive and has all premium options. So enjoying it.
Hi Sonduren! I’m getting the same one in mid-June! I love the Lexus grill. I ordered mine in black, with the palomino interior, ultra luxury. Your videos have been so helpful, thank you! What’s a PPF coating? … you suggested it for all new cars? Sorry, I’m not much of a car person… I’m trying to find the video for that. Can you link it here? Thanks again!
Yes, you want to put a full paint protection film on it, which is basically like a screen protector on your phone. This is going to protect it against rock chips and stone chips, etc. on top of that, you will want to put a ceramic coating on it! ua-cam.com/video/zywerEpLteM/v-deo.html
Congratulations on your baby girl!! Question: if the car is new (from the dealership like my Lexus will be) do you still need to do a paint correction before doing the ceramic or graphene coating? (Btw, I’m a girl not a man- zacaroo is my dog!)😊
Oh hahaha sorry I didn’t know :) as long as it’s brand new you don’t need a paint correction before you put on a ceramic coating. So as soon as you get it, it’s the best time to go ahead and apply it. The paint should be in perfect condition!
Lol ya, EV MODE is useless. The engine will turn off regardless if you’re in traffic, just don’t accelerate too hard and you’ll stay on battery. You need a full battery for EV mode and it barely lasts.
Hi Sonduren, I am currently looking at an NX350. Unfortunately there is no Lexus dealer where I live. Do you find an infant car seat fits comfortably in the back leaving the front passenger with sufficient space? In my Tacoma, there is no space for a front passenger with the car seat installed. Thank you!

Very beautiful interior
Completely agree. One of the best in the segment.
Great looking Lexus! How long would you need to wait for a new 350h if there was no cancelled order? Thanks!
Thanks, Vincent! Right now I believe the wait times are one year

😢😢😢 I'm so excited for you guys, and can't wait to share in the experience in 2 months. Really happy for you, and trust me when I say you made the right choice. Peace of mind is top priority for me when buying a car and the NX will deliver.

Thanks Omen :) 🙏
Congratulations on your purchase. If I may, how much did it cost you with the Ultra Luxury package and is there any negotiation/added services you were able to get with Lexus on your purchase? I appreciate the valuable response.
Thanks Franky! I paid MSRP with no additional fees or service charges plus provincial tax. You can use the website builder online and it will price out your exact spec for you.
Hi, here is my Update! test drive NX350h .... but sorry bro way yoo boring plus the sound system is terrible so waiting for Atlas Cross Sport 2024 then will make a decision
Congrats, were you able to negotiate the total price or adding any packages?
Thanks Mohamed! We were not able to negotiate much at all :( Though we are still really happy 😊
I prefer the cam as the rear view mirror. It was a bit odd at first however, I quickly got comfortable. I purchased a '23 Lexus NX F Sport 350.
Very nice congratulations Shawn! What colour combo did you go with? How are you liking it so far? I just have over 600 km on mine but I’m curious to hear what your current thoughts are? I’ll obviously be updating my progression with the NX as well :)
My wife loves that feature, I can't help but be old school about the rear and sideview mirrors lol. Good ol neck crackers.
@@carswithsonduren I have the Atomic Silver with the red and black interior. I am loving the car a lot, I can't stop looking at it and find myself wanting to drive everyone now whereas, with my previous automobile, I always found a reason not to drive...LOL
That’s awesome :) You know it’s special and the right purchase when you feel like this!
@@carswithsonduren Exactly! Have you tried the Siri commands? And in case you didn’t know, there’s remote start from the key fob.
I love it! I recently purchased a Lexus ES300h, ultra luxury model with the same exterior paint color as well as the same interior leather color as your new NX. I wanted to go with the NX but ultimately opted for the ES which has more real leg room to accommodate my 85 year old father-in-law, who has mobility issues and needs more room to be able to get in and out of the car. I have to tell you that I test drove a Toyota Rav4 with the digital rear view mirror and it made me dizzy! I understand that you like it, but me, not so much. Enjoy your new Lexus.
Sounds like an amazing choice regardless at least we have the same taste in colour combo ;) it seems it’s either you love the rear mirror camera or hate it! Appreciate it and you’ll see more of this in future videos :) Cheers!
Similar dilemma here, with 86 year old mother-in-law living with us. Almost bought the es300h last week, but decided to wait and see if this nx350h would be a little easier for entry and exit. Do you think this 350h is a noticeable height difference?
Good choice! We have a ‘21 RAV4 with the same engine. We are very happy with its performance. Several NX owners on UA-cam have swapped their run flats for the tradition tires. They say it has a better ride and gas mileage. Also, rather than purchase new rims consider having those powder coated. The cost is must less. We have a white RX and powder coated the rims in a black chrome. They are just striking.
Nice to hear Steve and thanks for the tip! How many KM do you have on your RAV4 now?
We have 30;000 miles on the RAV4. The wife is getting 41 mpg.
Did you powder coat a black chrome? Where did you get this done? Approx cost?
@@icl2.059 I did a wheel exchange last year with Wheel Craft out of Ohio. They are fantastic. It was $895 plus shipping which was around $150.
Just put in a deposit on one last week. Wait will be 3-6 months the dealer told us. Cloudburst Grey with red interior color combo only.
Congratulations! bro yeah time to gift it to me😁😁!!
Congratulations you did the right choice I own a Lexus and the new Camry xse model and great cars top quality and super comfort and reliable again congratulations for your LEXUS ❤❤
Thanks MM :) welcome to the channel!
Car looks great! Congratulations! The palomino interior is everything! So glad I was able to get it. No Mark Levinson? Were you impacted by the part shortage?
Thanks man :) No Mark Levinson as that was part of the executive package and we got the ultra luxury package. It was a cancelled order we took and it had everything we wanted minus that ML systems, HUD and rear power seats as part of the executive package.
Am so glad for both of you, the chemistry is there, and definitely meant for each other, many blessings my friend! ❤
Thank you friend :)
I would buy a hybrid over a full electric for sure.
Completely agree I’m actually coming out with a video very soon explaining all the reasons why I went with hybrid over electric personally and probably a lot of those reasons are what you think as well.
YO man almost same condition like you I got a corolla 2013 is my first car now I have the spare money to replace it! I prefer NX350H I like the 14-inch large screen at the rear and the same color as yours white and polomino, also big jump for new tech, before I considered q5 xc60 or even x3 glc but they just give me a feeling like a luxury car rented at a car dealership when I go out on a trip. Lexus is different. There is a special connection that allows two arms to control the steering wheel It’s a very comfortable driving experience with your elbows on the side.I live in Vancouver, I chose ultra luxury, so your video is very useful to me. I also ordered a car. I hope to drive a new car in the summer and look forward your update! Experience of driving for several months, advantages and disadvantages, etc. THANK YOU!
That’s awesome! Do you know when you’ll be getting it? By the way, it’s my dream to move to Vancouver one day.
@@carswithsonduren Because the delivery time of the ordered car is definitely later than May, it will be a 2024 model, which will not be later than half a year, but I personally feel that it should be around June, and some people will cancel the order, so I hope it will not be too long. ! The weather in Vancouver is pleasant, not too cold as other city in CA. The key is that there are too many delicious foods. That’s right, I’m talking about Chinese food is No. 1, haha
I LOVE this car! I've been trying to find a Lexxus NX for over a year! I think because I'm a female, dealers think I'm dumb! So many of the used cars are from flooded areas. I decided to buy a new one, very reluctantly. Now, I can't get a dealer to call me back! I'm thinking of calling the VP of Lexxus!
Do it call the VP directly and don’t be taken advantage of!
Congratulations! This is a major upgrade and im sure youll love it for years to come. 800 miles..... just insane! Also, I think the regular mirror mode is better for me than the camera but I am an old school guy!
Thanks Alan! Honestly I thought the same as you but after using it at nighttime it was a gamer changer. Much better visibility all around with a wider FOV.
Pretty sure that's 800 kilometres not miles.
Correct me if I'm wrong.
I went through the same thing. I looked at several luxury vehicles. I got the 23 LX NX350H. Mine was a canceled order also. I wasn’t expecting mine until spring. I absolutely love it. It’s amazing on the highway. I love that predictive cruise control. It doesn’t have an impressive sound system…that’s my only gripe.
Personally, I think you all should have gotten the RX. I think it would have been a little more comfortable with kids.
I really like the predictive cruise control as well. Congratulations we both got lucky :) honestly were toying around with that idea but we really didn’t find it that much bigger 😕
Thanks for sharing your video nice car NX 350h very good on gas ⛽ in June of 2022 i went to milton toyota to buy a 2022 venza hybrid limited and the dealer told me i have to wait 12 months to get the car but after 3 weeks the sale person call me to pickup the car and i told the sale person you told to wait for 12 months and the sale person told me the person order that car was canceled 8 months ago the same limited edition that i order and the technology in the venza is the same like NX but one thing NX don't have is stargaze roof but the NX have little more horsepowers than the venza and you bought the right car is reliable good on gas forget about European cars they are not reliable as toyota family good luck and take care bye from milton Ontario Canada
Congrats on the 350H!!!! That was quick - not too long of a wait.
Yeah, we actually got really lucky! Previous buyer backed out of the deal, and this was the exact spec that we wanted 🙏
@@carswithsonduren enjoy it
Definitely eager to put a lot of kilometres on it 😎
In Europe you order now you get dec 2024 😂😂😂
@@andrzejbudzynski9237 Yes, delivery in Europe is catastrophic. I bought a NX in april 2022 and it should be delivered januari 2023 (9 months).
But now I got notice from Lexus that delivery is delayed is earliest june 2023 and possible later than that.
Cancelling the buy is only possible if paying a serious fine.
For such a luxury brand they threat there customers (at least here) like ...
Congrats. You are lucky person.
Hope you enjoy this beautiful car.
Here, in Belgium, it is a disaster. After nine months they gave (1 week befor delivery) news that I have to wait at least 6 more months. Even the new delivery date is unconfirmed.
And cancelling the order is only possible if paying a serious fine.
I'm really hoping that they speed up delivery. But for now it's frustrating.
I got the first rx500h from this dealer white exterior 😊
That’s tough to hear Peter! Really unfortunate with what is happening with the supply chain I hope you get yours as quick as possible!
Love this exact configuration of the NX, I am so happy for you guys! My partner bought a 22' Jeep Grand Cherokee and it has the rearview mirror camera, I personally prefer the camera over the regular mirror view. It does take some time to get used it, specially because of your eyes.
Yes but after you get used to it it’s golden :)
Congratulations Sonduren! I remember a few months back that you were testing various vehicles and finally seeing that you narrowed it down to this is a great choice! I have a feeling it was your wife that made the final decision but that's married life I guess. 😆 See if you can figure out what that 'battery low' icon means in the digital rearview mirror in the upper right hand corner. Are you keeping your '09 IS 250 and R8 still? Also, was there seriously not a single $ discount on these cars? I think you got those rubber mats thrown in?
LOL believe it or not my wife and me were completely aligned on everything after testing all the cars. It was a 100% unanimous decision which made the purchase super easy. I will absolutely be keeping both of them! The IS250 will now be our backup car, still looks good and runs great. Not a single discount payed full MSRP. The rubber floor mats and 2 coffee mugs 😂
@@carswithsonduren Buying cars nowadays is as bad as buying motorcycles - never discount plus various dealer fees and non standardized freight charges. Are you still thinking of that Streetfighter V2 or is that out of the question now that you're a married man. 😆
I’ll be real. That dream could happen in a few years for the streetfighter but I’d only be allowed to putter to the nearest coffee shop and back 😂 Semi serious joking aside, not in the immediate or medium term.
congrats
amazing car to own
One car to never buy brand new ? NISSAN! My sister bought a brand new one back in 2016. A crappy looking car called a Versa. Wow that car was so basic. But the thing that went bad ? CVT transmission. It broke on her before 100k miles. She drives a 2017 Corolla now and it’s way better, but I think she should have gotten a Lexus IS250 like yours. Now that car is a tank. Now you have two with the NX.
Nissan has been going downhill for a while now IMHO. I am happy with 2 tanks I have too say :)
Congrats on the new purchase! I hear ya about buying used. But sometimes, you just need to spoil yourself.
Yeap I agree like it short my friend!
What a beautiful car. Great for a family for sure. When my girlfriend and I get married later this year and we have a child shortly after that… goodbye IS250! Kidding I’m keeping it. We will just get like a Toyota Highlander. She really likes those her sister has one. I like those too. Maybe I can convince her to get the Lexus NX instead.
Both are great choices you can’t go wrong :) Take her to test drive both and see what she thinks :p
Congrats nothing like a Lexus welcome to the club a proud ES F sport owner :)
Thanks Boss :) very excited to put on some more kilometres and I’ll keep you guys in the loop with our ownership progresses!
Excellent choice, very nice color combo, congrats on your growing family!
Thanks Cardo :) welcome to the channel friend 🙏
Lexus is a smart choice. I would go for Lexus than other brands as well.
I have 2020 NX 300 premium I love it’s a white Color “eminent white” with red/black 🤙🏼the new Lex is nice Congrats 🎉take care of it!!
I have traded my 2021 Toyota RAV4 Limited for my Lex and made a Great choice..
At the end of the day yes German Cars are nice yes our fathers love Benz as you know from back home we are all immigrants and have that thing for Audi, Benz, BMW, but that being said reliability on Lexus and Craftsmaship is next to none🤌🏼
Happy Miles for you Guys 🙏🏻

I got the 350h as soon as it was released 8 years ago. Love it. But couldn’t resist the tech stuff in the new one. Been waiting 9 mos for delivery. Just arrived. Exec package, white exterior, red interior. But it does need premium fuel.
Very nice congratulations! What package did you get with it? Also FYI I am looking at the owners manual now: Per the NX 350H manual, premium is recommended, not required. For the NX 350, premium is required.
Exactly Lawrence. Stay with only 91 octane premium fuel ⛽️ ✅
8 years ago? Wow!
I bought exactly the same colors. Both inside and outside. With black alloy
How long have you had it for? Congratulations!
@@carswithsonduren picking up next week :)
You are gonna love it!
@@carswithsonduren i hope so. First order in August 2021 🤣
Which is like close to $100,000 if financed over 84 months.. Wow.
Y finance 84 months
At $500/mth. That’s $1.9 million lost over 30 years. 😳 😢
a wise choice:)
Congratulations! We just got our 2023 RX350h in Red last week, Love it! The only bummer was that Lexus stopped giving 2 key fobs at delivery, we’ll get the 2nd one EVENTUALLY 😨
Same here. We got 1 digital key card and 1 regular fob. Waiting on the others.
Congratulations! I bought a 2022 NX350H in Canada, driving daily to work and it is amazing! The average saving of 40-50% on gas remains during snow time as well. I know because I got a NX250 first, then drove for half a year and switched to NX350H LOL. Same engine one with hybrid battery one without haha.
That’s awesome how many kilometres do you have on it now?! What’s been your average fuel economy? I do wish the tank size was a little bigger so far but nothing major.
So sick! I'm jealous. I test drove one and was going to buy it, but went with a 2023 Rav4 Prime instead for the better fuel efficiency. Can't go wrong either way.
Thanks man it’s a beautiful SUV so far very happy with it! I’ll share my updates as I spend more time with it!
At nighttime when driving, I prefer the regular mirror. In daylight, backing up and not using the backup camera, which is almost never, I prefer the digital mirror.
Congratulations Sonduren! Nice car, spoiled baby already! Excited for you guys.
I was saying the same thing to my wife 😂
Great video. If all the other AUVS you tested had similar fuel econimy, which one woud you have picked?
Honestly, that’s tough because you have to look into just specific hybrids. Most of the models that we cross shopped were not hybrid in the same price category. Correct me if I’m wrong, but in this category and then this price bracket, this was one of the only options?
Hi Sonduren. I'm thinking of buying from Oakville Lexus as well. Which salesperson did you deal with?
I dealt with Nathaniel and Fiona. Definitely great people and team. Let them know you spoke to me and they will treat you well 🙏
Thanks for that. Is Nathaniel in sales, or just Fiona? We want to deal with someone who is knowledgeable and not pushy. Eric@@carswithsonduren
@ericmaginnis Nathaniel is now in sales as well and he was the gentleman in the video :)
Unfortunately, they didn't have an ES300H available for testing, and weren't getting one in the near future. We went with Erin Park Lexus and are very happy.@@carswithsonduren
Congratulations, beautiful car/crossover. My previous Lexus IS 250 awd I kept for 10 years and my current RC350 Lux package awd is on its 7th year. I keep my cars for long time. I am still on the fence with Hybrids. How long do the batteries last and how much would it cost for replacements, for non-plug ins? thanks.
Batteries last for 10 years and is covered under warranty. Many people also upgrade their batteries like the older Prius
850 miles on a full tank?!? This should be everywhere i’ve never heard of a suv being able to go that distance on one tank of gas? Is this common?
Kilometres not miles!
Many congratulations on your new Lexus.Looks a beauty ,!
Thanks John! She really is can’t wait to share more with you guys!
Love your vids! I’m In your neighborhood too 👍 I hope you make a lot of maintenance videos on the NX. I’m getting my NX in April after a year wait. I prefer to do all the maintenance myself, but helpful NX videos will be few and far between. Looking forward to them!
I build these cars and the RX at the plant in Cambridge. I worked at Honda plant and Toyota. I won’t buy any car other than Toyota or Lexus. I see the attention to detail in Quality Control. Obviously not perfect, but the highest standards I’ve seen.
No way that’s awesome. You should say hi next time we see each other around! Absolutely I am the same way. I will be doing all the maintenance and sharing everything along the journey with you all 🙏.
That’s awesome! What part do you specifically oversee? My father actually supplies the aluminum sheets and he’s always in Cambridge. I visited many years ago and you could eat breakfast off of the floor when I was there 😅
When did you order (how long was the wait)?
We got lucky and picked up a canceled order and only had to wait one month! I have heard people waiting for six months or more for the hybrid option vehicles or the 450H.
Great video! So how do u find the back seat leg room…have you taken any 1hr+ trips with adults in the back and if so how did they find it? Also, what mileage have you been able to achieve since buying it?
We took an 8 hour drive to Chicago. Backseat was perfectly fine for me. Best mileage so far is about 5.7 L/100km in city driving. Really happy with it :)
You’re smart to have gotten the high trim model. I got a 2022 lower trim and the interior feels very cheap.
Thanks man! I really wanted to make sure I got the big 14 inch screen as well. How are you liking your 2022 lower trim anyway outside of the interior feel?
how much ur down payment and montly payment and how many years ?
I laughed when you said they had a cancelled order because Lexus told me the same thing when they had also told me prior to that I was the first one in line for that car but in green and that was after me asking where my car was after 4 months of waiting.
That’s unfortunate :( The supply chain issues continue to be a struggle for everybody.
gotcha
My wife got same model NX350 2024 in the end of May, white pearl exterior, palomino interior, cool!
Awesome you are both going to love it!
Enjoy your new car. It's really cool
Thanks Levent! I’ll be sharing my experience with the car over the next couple weeks, so stay tuned!
Congra..beautiful car love it ❤
Thanks man and welcome to the channel!
like your review! thx 👍 not too sure what you do for living but you are GOOD! many videos that you shared with us are super helpful👌
I want to replace my GLA250 SE1 2015 for either GLC300 2023 or VW Atlas Cross Sport 2024 ( but cannot ignore the EV, Hybrid world ( the future )
but i agree with you about your conclusion, i am from Montreal so Hybrid is better, so going to request for info between NX350H and the RX350H ( although the price is quite different )
THANKS MAN!!!!
🙏👍
Thanks man! Let me know if you end up with the NX or RX 😎
@@carswithsonduren Hi, here is my Update! test drive NX350h .... but sorry bro way too boring plus the sound system is terrible so waiting for Atlas Cross Sport 2024 then will make a decision
Live in Thousand Islands. Snowy, hilly roads. Never had snow tires. Getting front hood film only. Other coatings not worth it.
100% getting the film on the hood of a requirement! So you are just sticking with all season tires? I always recommend snow tires but curious as to why you won’t get them?
thanks for these videos, esp from a canadian context! not enough videos about daily driving and ownership experience. awesome video!
More to come!
I have the same black nx fsport that your buddy had in the beginning of the video. My only complaint is the small gas tank but other than that I love it!
That’s awesome Matt. How many KM you got on it now?
About 5,500 so far. Really enjoy how it rides though. I think you made the right choice! The only thing I saw yours didn’t have that I love is the heads up display
Yep unfortunately missing out on that 🥲
@@carswithsonduren it’s ok still a great car with or without it. Enjoy!
Amazing video! Thanks so much for this, I am sold after watching haha
Thanks Tasha if you have any questions let me know and welcome to the channel :)
Sweet! I love the interior colour of your new car! I just subscribed to your channel to learn how to properly clean and maintain our vehiclel. Cool to see you're in Oakville. I`m in Espanola, near Sudbury. Thank you so much for your excellent and informative videos!
Thank you and welcome :) nice and hopefully you like all the content I got coming up!
@@carswithsonduren really great so far! I'm trying to go in order from you showing how to properly clean a vehicle, to claybar, to polish and finally ceramic coat. Thanks so much!
Congrats! I have the nx 350 h on my short list. Hiowe that you have had it for a while, any regrets? How is passing power on the 401?how is the stereo? What sound system did you get? Wind and road noise? Is you fuel economy close to what Lexus’s estimation. Thank you.
No regrets :) I made another video about the fuel economy: ua-cam.com/video/R7wtgc3KdJ4/v-deo.html
Passing power has been great and the stereo is sufficient IMHO. Wind noise and NVH is not remarkable but it’s good.
I just got a NX 350H myself Caviar Black exterior with Rioja Red interior. And even though the Genesis (Hyundai's luxury brand) may look enticing (I was coming from a Hyundai Nexo Limited Fuel-Cell SUV and overall I like the direction Hyundai/Genesis is going in), I can tell you Hyundai's customer service was absolutely atrocious compared to previous experiences I've had with Toyota/Lexus. If Hyundai was that bad, I'm sure Genesis wouldn't be too far off in terms of customer service. From what you're saying, I'm glad I ended up with the Lexus.
I also hear a lot of bad things about the service from Hyundai. Glad you got your NX congratulations! Getting a ceramic on it soon or PPF?
@@carswithsonduren I'm not doing any PPF or ceramic on it - I'm leasing so I'd have to take it off the car after 3 years. I'm in Southern California, so not really dealing with any crazy weather and am happy to keep it as is lol.
Congratulations on your new NX! Such a great all around SUV.
Do you do anything to prevent “relay attacks”? As you know, Newer Lexus and Toyota models are highly sought after overseas, and thus heavily targeted to be stolen.
Thanks James! Yes you should use a Faraday box which will help prevent theft. I’m making a video of the 5 things I am doing to prevent theft coming in a few days so stay tuned :)
@Cars with Sonduren So I'm on my 3rd Lexus.. currently a '20 NX. Contemplating trading in for the NX450h+.
Anyway, that said, I noticed the salesman who did your walk through did not mention a tip for your keyfob. They just usually don't for whatever reason.
However, if you hold down the lock button, and tap unlock twice. The led will blink 4 times. The key fob is now in sleep mode or off. It is not transmitting a signal anymore, so in other words, relay attacks cannot work. The key could be sitting on the car, and it will not work. To turn it back on, or wake it. Push any button on the fob once.
Just thought it would be nice to know.. don't have to worry about Faraday boxes, etc.. hope this hack helps!
Wow this is an awesome tip I did not know this. I’ll be doing this!
@Cars with Sonduren Amazing! Now, if you can lock the dataport... the SUV would be so much more difficult to steal.
Rumor is, Lexus will be implementing UWB tech into 2024 models going forward. So proximity of the physical fob to the car will be required.
One question I have about your NX, how close are you to getting advertised fuel economy?
Right now in winter conditions, averaging on the low-end of 7L/100KM. In warmer temperatures better than this but right now obviously we are in winter.
The new nx is a nice cuv for sure. And it looks like your wife got a new car not u 🤣
Hahahah happy wife happy life they say ;)
Love the new NX. Looks great with great features.
I have the 350 f sport and let me tell you that suv moves & handles nice.
Yeah, the F sport adaptive suspension definitely aids with that. The additional bolstering the seats is also a nice touch.
The electronic door handles are unnecessary.
Honestly, for the safety features, I think it’s worth it and it’s honestly quite intuitive once you use it a few times!
Love that interior color!
Same here! It was tough car between this and the red but we landed on this
Congrats, wise choice.
Congrats bro... We just got the 2023 GV 80 Prestige. Haven't received it as yet, but man o man, insane features.
Dude, congratulations the GV 80 is a true luxury executive class beast. Genesis honestly did such an amazing job with their vehicles. I was so impressed with the interior build quality and finish. When do you expect to receive it?
@@carswithsonduren End of the month for now, fingers crossed. We were very impressed. True luxury indeed. Previously we had the Q50 Red Sport 400HP. Different kind of a beast lol. Do you live in Oakville? I added you on linkedin as well.
I was able to get the NX350 Hybrid AWD as my loaner for a week while getting my Lexus serviced. I was thinking of trading my car in for the NX 250. But after driving my loaner, I've changed my mind. Its a small car for the price. Its also a gas guzzler hybrid. I feel cramped inside. Though the fake luxe pleather is nice, however that cheap plastic panel on the door is cheap. The shiny plastic on the dash is also cheap. Why does Lexus always integrate nice and cheap together? My service advisor told me the service on the NX 350 and NX 350H are more frequent than the NX 250, because of the Turbo and Hybrid engines. The cost is $750 per service. Ugh! I know Lexus is now charging a premium for service because no one is buying cars. They are making the loss in the service dept. I had my Lexus GS for 15 yrs and the service was always reasonable since the pandemic. Good luck!
That’s an insane price for the service! Where are you located?
@@carswithsonduren Southern California. The price came from Lexus Service Dealership.
Damn. That is beyond shocking for basically an oil change service even for Lexus.
@@carswithsonduren To clarify it's $750 every 40,000, 80,000, 120,000 mile interval for major service. It's $125 at 5000, 15,000, 25,000 intervals for a basic oil/filter change . And I think it was $300-400 at 10,000, 20,000, 30,000 intervals for oil/filter and diagnostic.
The Turbo NX requires more rrequent service due to spark plugs, which I had no idea required it.
I'm not getting the NX. I've changed my mind. Because I don't know of a trustworthy mechanic in my local area. I am getting a 2023 Camry SE. I am tired of luxury cars. I've had a BMW 3 Series, BMW X5 and Lexus GS350 and its becoming expensive to maintain these cars, something I've noticed since the pandemic. People are not buying cars. So dealerships are now charging a premium for car service. Its how they are now making their money in my opinion and experience, because they can't sell as many cars as they did pre-pandemic.
Congratulations I just got white rx500h 7 days ago
Very nice congratulations! How are you liking it so far?
@@carswithsonduren I love it… very comfortable smooth driving 💕
White is a very popular color here in Tennessee and across the entire south. This is a nice vehicle although I don't like the lack of a spare tire for one thing. If I lived in Ontario I would probably look at a hybrid because of the insane cost of fuel there.
I’m glad you know from Tennessee that the price is Ontario are crazy for everything including fuel! Precisely why we wanted a hybrid!
@@carswithsonduren I'm an ex Anglo Quebecker. My son lives in North York. I like your car; I give all my used cars to one of my brothers (in Montréal) so I have a limit to how much I spend on new vehicles.
What did they charge for the ceramic coating? also you mentioned PPF. What exactly is that. Thanks!
They didn’t do any of this work. I am actually doing it myself and I’m making some videos on it as well, so stay tuned and make sure you’re subscribed! If you do wanna get it done professionally, it will probably cost a couple thousand dollars.
Paint protection film, very effective

Thank you 😊 😎
In Australia, Lexus is a shit show. We ordered our NX350h F-Sport with Enhancement Pack 2 in February 2022 and were told 4-5 months.
We ended up cancelling our order last week as the dealer still couldn’t give us a build date nearly a year later.
I ended up ringing BMW and a guy’s finance fell through on a fully loaded brand new X1. The car is ready to board the ship.
My wife and I were patient with Lexus but enough was enough.
Congratulations on getting yours so quickly! Looks great!
Sorry to hear about what happened that really does suck :( Though glad you got the X1 which is a great SUV as well!
Same here in Belgium.
Ordered my Lexus NX in april 2022.
Dealer told told that delivery should be september 2022 and at the very last januari 2023.
Now they say I have to wait at least till june. Even that is unconfirmed.
Cancelling order is only possible if paying a serious fine.
@@petermaris3860 that’s very annoying! Here in Australia, Toyota/Lexus will fully refund your deposit even up until you are given a build date as it’s impossible to get a car and not wait at least 12 months for hybrid models.
I was at the Lexus dealer in Sydney, Australia today (1 April 2023) ready to buy, but was told by the Sales Manager that wait time for the high spec NX 350H is approx. 2 years!! Had to walk away as I didn't want to wait that long. I hope Lexus can address the issue as they could be loosing potential customers.
That’s insane
Can’t wait for Lexus Ev.
Once they get it to over 500km of range then we are talking!
That electric doors & battery dies so that means you have to buy a new battery??? That SUCKS..
I know more about my NX than this salesman..
Lots that wasn’t captured in the video :)
Why does it not have the auto park button and the steering wheel doesn’t have touch controls
Congratulations! How long have you been waitted after you placed the order?
Lucky for us picking up a cancelled order only 6 weeks!
@@carswithsonduren Lucky you are! Can I ask did you pay the so called "Markup" ?
No markup. MSRP.

How are you liking it so far? How long have you owned it?!
@@carswithsonduren I have owned nx450h+ for 7 months. I live in PA where charging infrastructure is limited to none and many houses do not have garages not allowing to install a level 2 charger. So plugin hybrid option was the best. The car is fun to drive and has all premium options. So enjoying it.
@@carswithsonduren is your Lexus a plugin hybrid or a hybrid?
Hi Sonduren! I’m getting the same one in mid-June! I love the Lexus grill. I ordered mine in black, with the palomino interior, ultra luxury. Your videos have been so helpful, thank you! What’s a PPF coating? … you suggested it for all new cars? Sorry, I’m not much of a car person… I’m trying to find the video for that. Can you link it here? Thanks again!
Yes, you want to put a full paint protection film on it, which is basically like a screen protector on your phone. This is going to protect it against rock chips and stone chips, etc. on top of that, you will want to put a ceramic coating on it! ua-cam.com/video/zywerEpLteM/v-deo.html
Thank you! Love your videos and forgot to congratulate you on the new baby! Wishing him or her a life of health and happiness.
Thanks, my man! She’s almost 7 weeks old now she’s a little princess you’ll see her and some future videos :)
Congratulations on your baby girl!! Question: if the car is new (from the dealership like my Lexus will be) do you still need to do a paint correction before doing the ceramic or graphene coating? (Btw, I’m a girl not a man- zacaroo is my dog!)😊
Oh hahaha sorry I didn’t know :) as long as it’s brand new you don’t need a paint correction before you put on a ceramic coating. So as soon as you get it, it’s the best time to go ahead and apply it. The paint should be in perfect condition!
Lexus NX & RX over price. Interior looks cheap as well. I tested drive both. CORSAIR cheaper & smooth ride than Lexus RX!!
I like the Corsair but there is a lot I don’t like.
She definitely didn’t love it
Oh, she loved it believe me
What is a PPF!!!!????
Does your car have a panaramic roof!!??? How about ambient lighting?
Paint Protection Film. Yes the car has both :)
It goes up to 40 kmph in EV mode, then the salesman 👨💼 says imagine you can use no gas in a 30 kilometer line of slow traffic. False statement!
Lol ya, EV MODE is useless. The engine will turn off regardless if you’re in traffic, just don’t accelerate too hard and you’ll stay on battery. You need a full battery for EV mode and it barely lasts.
How would you compare this to the R8?
They don’t compare at all 😂. Complete opposites. They do say opposites attract tho ;)
@@carswithsonduren I meant in terms of enjoyment and fun lol
All the tech is fun, the ride is great and because of the hybrid power much more torque than you expect down low in the RPM band.
Lexus is the best but too many “gotchas” lol
Congratulations 🎉🎉🎉🥳🥳🥳🥳🤗🤗
Hi Sonduren, I am currently looking at an NX350. Unfortunately there is no Lexus dealer where I live. Do you find an infant car seat fits comfortably in the back leaving the front passenger with sufficient space? In my Tacoma, there is no space for a front passenger with the car seat installed. Thank you!
There is enough space for the passenger at the front but it’s definitely going to be less so without the baby seat as it has to move 4 inches up.
@@carswithsonduren thank you!
