    Good evening everyone! Again, please be sure to visit www.harrys.com/redlinereviews to get your starter kit. We also wanted to let you know that after we filmed the driving scene, we got our 0-60 timing equipment and got some surprising numbers. The NX 350 with its 2.4L turbo engine did 0-60 in a disappointing 7.8 seconds, about a second slower than what Lexus claims. The NX 450h+ did it in 6.3 seconds which was close to the 6 seconds that Lexus claims. We will retest both vehicles again for a second video once we get them back home for a week to drive. This is going to be a hot car for Lexus and we imagine the PHEV will be in high demand, just like the RAV4 Prime.

    Even with the $7500 federal tax credit and $1500 California tax credit, $46k before any packages and tax/title/license fees is a very hard sell for me for the 450h+.
    At that kind of money better off getting a higher spec'd Rav4 Prime. With the money saved by not buying the 450h+ that would pay for gas for at least 4-5 years+.
    Heck, even any of the EVs in the same price range (Mach E, ID.4, or even a Model Y) would work too.
    I also agree why we have to pay extra for a 6.6KW charger. MSRP is already $55k+!
    If you're set on an NX, you're better off going for an NX350 or NX350h.

    You left out one important fact regarding accelerating in the turbo model. The temperature you were testing it in was well over 100° which will decrease the performance significantly enough to feel. Definitely wait until you get a model you can test in more average temperatures.

    • @singular9
      @singular9 3 роки тому +4

      False, since the turbo mitigates this issue. This isn't a naturally aspirated model that is dependent on ambient air density. This is why we use turbos, to mitigate temperature and altitude issues by simply controlling the wastegate spring pressure.

    • @Iczer1
      @Iczer1 3 роки тому +3

      @@singular9 turbo does not mitigate it but it reduces the effect. By boosting it compensates for thinner air caused by the temperature but since air is thinner the boosted air density will not be as good as when it is cooler. It is also why a boosted engine will feel even more powerful in cooler temperatures because the air is thicker. The base value of the air if you will is boosted by an x amount depending on boost pressure thus resulting in a denser air. How dense is still going to be affected by the starting air density. Also, being a Toyota/Lexus turbo, it would be safe to assume the boost is low to
      Improve reliability. Lexus/Toyota’s 0-60 numbers are generally a bit conservative and can usually be obtained. So I predict the slower number achieved was probably affected by temperature. There are other factors to be considered but pretty sure in a milder climate the claimed number is probably doable.

    • @singular9
      @singular9 3 роки тому +2

      @@Iczer1 you don't understand.
      The turbo will maintain boost at a certain PSI which is regulated by the wastegate spring sensor. PSI can be affected by air temperature, but regardless, the turbo will spool up and the wastegate opens only at the PSI that is set by the ECU tune. In other words, whatever PSI that is set in the ECU is the psi that will be delivered by the turbo. Most turbos cab deliver hundreds of PSI but they don't because the wastegate allows air to bypass and therefore leaking it into the exhaust, limiting the PSI.
      Considering Lexus runs a PSI of 5 over ambient sea level (and therefore in mountains or hot climate this would not matter since the total psi is a simile addition of 1 Bar + 5 PSI = 19.5 PSI) then the turbo will continue to spool until reaching 19.5 PSI, which is the same volume of air regardless of what temperature since the ECU knows to factor in air temperature and density into the equation of PSI. If temperature goes up, so does ambient PSI (which can be measured by both the wastegate and MAF sensor) and therefore +5 psi on top of the elevated ambient.
      I haven't even explained the fact that on a turbo engine, the ecu will over ride the wastegate if the MAF signals that it's not receiving optimal amounts of air. That is why these sensors are built into a car.
      So you sir, didn't factor in engineering genius. Do you seriously think that engineers that design these engines don't know that air volume changes with temperatures and have accounted for that?
      Lmfao. What an idiot you are.

    In our testing, we beat the Lexus-estimated acceleration to 60 mph by a full half-second, hitting 60 in 5.5 seconds versus the quoted 6.0-second time. That's quicker than the other 2022 NX models we've tested, but a 2021 XC60 Recharge reaches 60 in a MotorTrend-tested 5.0 seconds. We haven't yet tested a Q5 plug-in, but Audi estimates its model to be just as quick as the Volvo. In case you wonder, the lighter-weight RAV4 Prime matches the NX450h+'s 5.5-second time to 60.
    This means the NX plug-in hybrid is both the quickest NX money can buy and the slowest SUV in its tiny segment.
