Imo I feel like this is how the new RX should look like. Idk why Lexus decided to come out with the NX Redesign first but now it looks like the RX is copying the NX.
@@matthewalexis the RX came out in the 90s. The RX is their flagship for SUV. This SUV have more loyal customers than any other brand. The NX is more trendy for younger buyers. IMO the RX redesign should of came out first
They let the NX redesign came out first because redesign is always a risk. So they were letting the NX to test the water and see how the consumers feedback were like, fix any potential bugs while they were at it, then have it on the RX release in the following year. The RX is too important for them to take unknown risk. Seems like a pretty smart business strategy to me.
I bought my Lexus F Sport on impulse. First time in my (long) life. I traded in my Audi Q5, which had 57k miles on it and never had a lick of trouble. I like the NX’s tech (mostly). The 14” touch screen is good, it sits at an angle toward the driver and is easy to reach. It is a Toyota, so reliability was a reason I got it…I guess. The car is slightly smaller than the Q, about 15% less cargo room. The car has front wheel drive bias so the steering is heavy. The Q is front wheel bias too, but it is also imperceptible. It is slow off the line under acceleration. The engine is loud and kind of whiny. With the torque and HP the car should be quicker. Passing acceleration is fine. The run flats add to road noise. Much prefer a spare. One major issue: one of the reasons I got the car was the Monroney saying you can tow 2,200 lbs. Mine is a 2023 and the car has been out for one year. There is still NO tow hitch to be had for the F Sport trim; not from Lexus or any other manufacturer. Bait and switch to me. I am either going to get lucky with a trailer guy I know when I am back home in March from Florida or I am going to angrily dump the car. The engine on the Acura is even louder than the NX but it handles a bit better and is slightly quicker. Not as quick as the Q either. From what I could tell on the tech, the RDX would be a pain in the butt. Has more room than the NX. I would say the seats on the Acura MIGHT be better as it is hard to tell in a short test drive. My car came with factory paint protection film on the front end and mirrors and the dealer had his markup for ceramic coating and LoJack. The only thing that will get stolen in my catalytic so that was a waste. If I had to buy a NX and go back in time, I would have gone for the NX 450h+ IF I could qualify for the $7,500 tax credit. Quicker and better gas mileage. I have heard the brakes are not so good on the hybrid trims but the F Sport brakes are very good. In hindsight, potential reliability and resale value be damned, I would have gotten the GV 70 2.5. About the same price overall but a nicer car, engine wise and handling. I like the red and blue options on the Lexus, mine is the Cloudburst Gray which is more conservative but also works well with the black wheels. I never drove the old NX but sat in one once and did not care for it. This is nicer car, no doubt. There is no perfect car but I would describe this one as more than adequate.
Hands DOWN.............You MUST buy the 450h+ F Sport never buy gas gain 134 K when you drive it off lot No Noise driving in Elec w/ Michelin's and NOT a FREAK'n Korean Genisis w/ bad trans and elec ...do your home work dummy!
I like it the more I watch other reviewers videos on it seems solid fun and has a great overall design I love the tail lights and front end infotainment systems looks nice and quick too just wish it wasn't 55k but is what it is.
Gorgeous.. I currently own a IS250.. this NX will possibly be its replacement
Currently renting an NX 350 F sport from Turo on Oahu. Very very nice

The NX came out in 2015, the RX came out in 2016, the NX was due for a redesign first.

Ben, my wife copped a loaded NX 350h back in April and she's getting 37 mpg. I heard the gasoline version's fuel economy is disappointing.
350h the best configuration to buy, and of course the one everyone wants and has the longest lead time. 🙈
This 2022 Lexus NX 350 SUV looks amazing.
Terrific job with your content as always Ben.

hello, can you ask me a question? what exactly is the name of the color of this car?
What are you monthly payments for this beauty ?
I don’t think I caught what he said but does this one turn off when you come to a full stop at the light, etc?
Yes, but there's a button to turn the feature off everytime you start up the engine
Beautiful car, horrible gas mileage (Well not suppose to care about gas mileage when buying Luxury car)
Buy the MUCH BETTER 450h+ F Sport and like me never buy gas however have the option of Reg.
Lol Bluetiful 🤣🤣
Seems expensive
I've been waiting for my order for almost 4 months and I'm freaking tired now. Don't know why it took lexus so long to produce the car :/
long line of wait list, short supply, disaster hit Japan..etc.
I already cancelled mine sadly.
@@columbiars same here. I waited 6 months then the new Rx introduced in June. So I cancelled the Nx and reserved the Rx
NOT THE TURBO MODEL get the 450h+ Non Turbo /// turbos kill engines / leak oil!
This is a lexus, it will be fine. Unless you want to drive for 30+yrs
@@zhengcao6529 I wish to drive it for 40+ years...Do-Not buy any turbos!!!!!
The answer is No if you are not a Lexus fan boy.
