Default Would you buy the NX350h again???

Just curious if you'll buy the NX350h again if you knew then what you know now about the vehicle. I know some area could be improved like the 2nd row space and cargo capacity.

Or would you purchase another vehicle?

Go with NX350h luxury or with Rav4 hybrid?

Absolutely and can vote for friend that has a 2023 NX 350h for one year and she says absolutely. Both she and my wife a year of zero issues, 40 mpg and both love them. Consumer Reports has it the best luxury small SUV and best value over $45,000.

Exclamation honest evaluation- not my favorite

Yes and No.

Have 2022 Lexus NX but doesn't seem as zippy as my Golf R (sold) or Ford Focus RS.

Don't like the implementation of digital key card ( don't) use. don't like digital mirror ( always use regular),

My Lexus dealership has really gone downhill; long story

DTE is way off Lexus says its normal even though goes blank with 3 gallons left.

I had factory activity mount and 2,000 towing. Rear kick sensor doesn't work 85% of time and Lexus says it works.

I am very disappointed in HUD ; my 2020 Avalon Hybrid Limited has better HUD.

Ventilated seats so so.; auto settings so so on heated steering, heated/ventilated seats,

Mark Levinson is awesome; the one thing I really like.
=======

Okay , right now not my favorite car to drive except on long trips. It is may favorite car on long trips.

=======

Sorry, my favorite car now is the new 2022 Prius LE. Very peppy much more so than 350h, easy to drive, fantastic mileage, averaging 56 mpg. All of the safety features. Doesn't feel big and overwhelming. was able to put a spare in the trunk. No sunroof, okay. Seats are cloth ( so heated/ ventilated not really needed). Seat adjustment is manual; once set don't change. No HUD ( however think 2024 had HUB) However, display right in front in LOS and you don't really need. Like auto patk brake ) like nX) when you go into P or power off. Added Drive Connect subscription. Now its "Hey Toyota" instead of "Hey Lexus" Full apple play wireless

Radio not quite as good as ML, but decent. Mainly listen to Sirrus 114 Fox News because NewsMax is available on Sirrus.

Looks really good now; similar to Tesla.


YMMV,

MidCow3

, (3) great mpg

P.S. - My evaluation criteria (1) Peppy, (2) Sporty feel not too small/ not too big (3) great MPG (4) great audio

Definitely! I’m 16 months into use of my 2022 350h Premium Plus model and very satisfied. And I would buy one again.

Thanks everyone for sharing.

Why not good for long trips? I'm thinking about getting the NX350h or the Rav4 Hybrid Limited. Very tough choice. Does anyone have traffic jam assist?

I’ve only had it a few weeks but yeah I would definitely buy the same thing again. My daughter has a brand new RAV 4. She also really likes the Lexus.

Is Adaptive Cruise Control with traffic jam assist on all newer NX?

Does anyone know?

I go thru lots of stop and go traffic so I'm wondering if it will be helpful in my freeway drive also.

Sorry it wasn't clear It is good on long trips. Except I got the modern Spare spare tire and if you want a tire it takes 2/3 cargo space.

Will correct original and make clearer. Very smooth, comfortable ride on long trips, very good travel range.

YMMV,

It works great on freeway driving with slow downs sometimes occurring ..even down to stopping. Newer Toyota/Lexus ACC works very well. ( Hee Hee also on Prius)

Default Just drove across the US - outstanding

Just went from Ontario Canada to Mesa Arizona and back in November (still in the first 5000 miles of new ownership) and the car performed flawlessly. Didn't burn a drop of oil. Overall trip mileage at 6,8 litres per 100 kilometres (in the 34 mpg range) which I thought was pretty good with legal speed limits as high at 80 mph. On shorter in-town trips I've experienced as low as 4.5 litres per 100 kilometres. Had a first generation 2017 F Sport that had made the same trek a few times. The improvements in tech, safety, comfort, economy and ML acoustics is pretty dramatic to say the least. When Lexus masters the EV, with 1000 km range and less than 10 minute charging, and I think they will, I'll have one. Until then, it doesn't get any better than the 2024 NX 350h Executive (Luxury) white/palomino.

CarPlay is great. Digital Key great, digital mirror great.

HUD is great. Mark Levinson is great. 14” screen is great.

MPG is great.

So, yes.

2024 NX350H Premier package. Atomic SilverRioja Red. A handful of extras installed at the factory: Cold Package w/ventilated seats, Headup Display, 14 in screen, wireless phone charger and digital key, Pano View Monitor, Digital Review Mirror, etc. Great car. Totally satisfied and would buy it again in a heartbeat.

What do think about the run-flat tires? I heard it's hard to find a replacement immediately and it maybe a 1-5 day wait. Can someone confirm?

Run flats are actually better than I thought they would. When they wear down I will replace with regular tire . I was first looking at Michelin Crossclimate2 235/50 R20. Now I think I will get 245/50 20 Pirelli Scorpion AS Plus 3 good wear and quieter.
