Question NX Buyer Age Group

Aren't you the least bit curious on the age groups buying the NX? Is it truly attracting a younger, less traditional buyer? Vote and comment!

52 years old but young at heart, I like the size, fuel economy, seat position above the road, comfort, aggressive f sport look, and all the tech items. It was this or a red, midlife crises, corvette…I made a good choice I think. Now back to my Les Paul traditional to rock out…

wow, initial responses are blowing away the concept of the "younger" theory

I got it mainly because I wanted a step up in vehicles and this was their first compact SUV - I just like that size.

LOL guess the Mrs and I will be the first to answer in our 30's

Feels so lonely

Yes the size was a huge factor for us as well.

Mrs came out of '14 RX350

I am still shopping for my new toy(s), but coming from '13 CL600, & '14 M6 coupe.

If anything fuel savings alone has been pretty eye opening, and the NX has been much easier to park

Mid 40's but VERY young at heart!!

So glad to have a sporty alternative and smaller size compared to my wife's previous 4 or 5 RX's. I hunk that car has been a long time coming. I think I've driven her Nx more in the 2 weeks we've had it than I've driven her RX's total in the past few years.

It will be interesting to see if the new RX does as well now that it appears it will be so much bigger than previous years. Having the two options should help Lexus a lot. Maybe the RX doesn't do quite so well on its own but theNX and RX combined blow everyone else out of the water.

Not specifically Lexus, but when I was shopping lots of different vehicles I got the impression there were a lot of empty nesters buying cars in this class.

My mother in law at 61 drives a Yaris SE, which the Toyota website makes you think is only bought by kids fresh out of high school or college.

I am 27, and will be 28 next month. The NX will be my daily driver with the Camaro as my weekend garage queen.

My wife is 25, she will be 26 this month. She has a '15 IS350 Fsport as her daily work car.

So, we are trying to help bring that average age for Lexus down haha.

23.

I was looking at other smaller SUVS, mainly the X3 and Q5. Once I sat in and drove the NX, it made the decision very easy.
