  • In this video, I give you my full review of the 2022, 2023, and 2024 Lexus NX350h after 9 months of ownership and 17,000km of driving! I go into detail on performance, fuel economy, exterior, interior, technology and more for this compact luxury SUV and ask the question if this is the queen of luxury SUVs and compare it to its bigger family member, the Lexus RX!

    The 350H makes most sense for anyone unless you have free electricity. Love my 350H. The Heads up display on the top spec model is just amazing with the controllers on the steering wheel makes driving so much relaxing. I was looking at the Toyota RAV4 version but the extra I spent to get the NX I will never regret and it will hold its value better too.

Would love to see MDP Calliper covers, to know about additional bits n bobs, trunk mat, additional LED lighting etc. Not sure if this is on your radar? Again, love your NX content. BTW what’s the tire wear like on the ‘run flats’ thanks again 😊

    Nice review. I'm actually looking at this vehicle as well I'm also looking at the x5 50e or used 45e but for the BMWs I just can't validate the high price and explain to myself how it makes sense to drive a 5600 lb vehicle around for fuel economy! I can understand you completely as I had an 05 Acura TSX that was mint with 200k, practically new, and I sold that because I didn't need that vehicle either...i miss her dearly lol...great job again on the review, I'll definitely be looking at your channel.

    Hey Sonduren! I'm happy to report that I finally got my atomic silver /palomino 350h Luxury last week. It is beautiful. The palomino dresses the interior even more because of the roof liner. I am still learning the technology. I am trying to figure out how to get the best mpgs. An suv in general is all new to me. So I have to learn how to park without fear and to use the 360 image to help me do that. It came fully loaded with ML audio, triple beam lights. Even lit door lexus emblems. I am now trying to get Igla installed to give me extra piece of mind. Thanks again for your suggestions. They are very well received.

    Great Video. I am considering this vehicle NX350H. Currently have a 2011 Lexus is 250 and we are looking on selling it and and Getting the NX350h. Just one concern, since we live in Quebec, with heavy road salt usage in winter, we are worried about the corrosion of the cable for rear motor that affects Rav4 hybrid. Since RAV4 and NX350h share same setup, Are you aware if the 2024 NX 350H is affected by this issue or has Lexus /Toyota resolved the issue. We do not know if we should go for the NX350 with Turbo motor or NX350H.

    • @carswithsonduren
      @carswithsonduren  8 місяців тому

      I would personally go with the hybrid, because the fuel economy benefit is massive. Lexus did put a cover over that cable to protect it from elements. Is it 100% full proof? Only time will tell but at least they addressed it somewhat.

    The only part I don't fully like is those piano black surfaces that all the cars are getting nowadays. They look nice but attract dirt and fingerprints but otherwise been enjoying the 2024 NX 350h. It looks and feels more roomier in person than in pictures.

    I’ve been driving the NX 450h+ for a little over two weeks and it is awesome. I’m surprised to hear you say you only put Octane 87 in your NX 350h. I was told at the dealership you have to use Octane 92 or premium gas in the NX 450h+.

    @MS-sp6eo 5 місяців тому +1

    Hi, I am thinking about buying the 2024 Lexus NX 350h. The owners manual says 87 minimum octane gas as you said, but so many dealers and even reviewers say "91 premium required" . This not what the owners manual says. Do you have any input into why Lexus dealers, websites, etc all say this? I would think Lexus would repeat the information in the owners manual. Also, I ski a lot and live in a cold climate. Do you know how it handles on snow, ice, nasty weather conditions? I am a little concerned about the runflats. Would love to hear back . Enjoyed your video.

    • @carswithsonduren
      @carswithsonduren  5 місяців тому

      A lot of people confusing the regular 350 vs the 350h. 87 is fine and I’ve been driving it for a while now in the cold and snow and it’s awesome. Good winter tires + AWD is a blessing. I have an updated video coming soon on the 350h with my thoughts after 1 year of ownership.

Definitely helped me once I learned this. I have noticed a couple of quality issues with the interior, and I can't help but look at where it was made(Canada)... Not Japan 😢
    Otherwise it's been a dream, I chose the NX350FSport over the hybrid. Yes I know, but I have my reasons.

      Sorry for the late reply, one issue I've had was the rear light dome switch would get stuck after being pressed and the light would stay on. The dealership quickly ordered a new one and replaced it free of charge of course. The other was that I noticed some small fitment gaps were a bit off or too big around the doors inside. Nothing big or major I'm just nitpicky 😅. On the outside the black chrome trim I have on my FSport is a dark purple on the driver's door compared to the rest of the vehicle were it is a true dark chrome. Thanks for inquiring about my gripes 😅

    I talked to Lexus IT they only do OTA once a year (ours is Nov 2023 350h, makes sense because our is buggy. But we are considering trading it in for '24 Toyota Prius (Prime) fully loaded 42K because cheaper and we didn't go for the Tech package (memory seats not available on $48k) on the NX because it would $50K. Otherwise we'd wait for '26 Toyota/Lexus fully completely new all Electric vehicles platforms. Thoughts? PS, Love your all your videos! And, yes reliability is sexy!

    Thoughts on the Lexus * 450h+ “F” Sport NX: With the PROWLER LQQK Grill / front Facia! .......Although the 450h+ "F" Sport is VERY quick (big elec batt assist out of hole elec chirps all wheels) * Note: there is No dog Turbo so NEVER a time lag to spool up.....This vehicle is Naturally Aspirated!......The 450h+ "F" Sport handles better than a beemer because it has "Adaptive Suspension" (tightens up on curves and Softens on hwy/fwy. It was Not the added speed although quicker than the beemer because of Huge Batt TORQ / out of hole! however more over, I focused on the OPTIONS: i.e. to use NO Freak'n Gas.... at all!..... however, if need be, use regular & in Hybred mode you get .......*Yep! * 89 miles of eMPG that is huge!!!!....My thought is NOT to use the polluting oil consuming, maintenance monster ICE. ( I do however fire it once every two months for about 1 mile Jus' to keep the Fluids circulating ad gaskets moist. Change the OIL every year even though there is VERY little use as Oil deteriorates because of condensation in the oil pan.........At this RATE the ICE will be virtually Brand new in years to come...The 450h+ "F" Sport has a eCVT NOT A CVT / no bands at all. GREAT TO HAVE A BACKUP ICE!.....This is why I mentioned the 450h+ F Sport is the finest built vehicle!

    The 2024 and 2025 NX350h recommend premium fuel not 87 octane fuel. Can you explain your comment that only 87 octane is sufficient. I'd sure like to use regualr over premium.

    • @carswithsonduren
      @carswithsonduren  День тому

      Minimum requirement is 87 if you check the owners manual. I have been using 87 for 35,000 km now and almost a year and a half not a single issue.

      If we had the option maybe, but most likely would have stayed with the 350h since we don’t have a home charger setup. Not sure tbh. Maybe. Probably.

    Here in US it is back ordered by upto a year. I paid a booking deposit 2 months ago. Just 10 more months to go 😜. Chose it over the 450h+ as this hybrid makes more sense for people like me who have daily commute of more than 40 to 50 miles.

      @@jasdeepshangari Depends on the trim and options. Also depends on demand in your area. The wait was 3 to 4 months last year or so in my area but overtime it increased due to demand and low supply.
