I'm on the fence between a new 2017 and a new 2018 with Safety System. Worth the money? Opinions on the system welcomed!

 

I would get the 2018
I have a 2015 and going to get a 2018 we love it

 

Thank you. Glad to hear it. We've had several RXs and loved them (but found them a tad boring). Looking forward to a smaller, sportier NX. Thanks again. Jim

 

we love the Hybrids
hers is a NX300h I have the ES300h
no down shifting on accelerating just instant toqure

 

I agree. We have the same combination except we don’t have a his or hers, they are both hers. I think many people just don’t appreciate/understand the benefits of the hybrids.

We have also had two RXs and enjoyed both, but that model is just becoming too big for us. The NX is a better size for us.

 

Couldn't agree more about the hybrids. Have a 2012 CT200h and a 2017 NX300h (which replaced a leased 2015 CT200h) in the garage now...

 

I too would want the safety systems. The model of NX 200t 2017 that I purchased had the full suite of safety systems that was available in 2017. I believe that the 2018 system is better with collision avoidance from higher speeds and pedestrian avoidance.

 

I test drove a '17 and loved it until I saw the IIHS report on the advanced safety features. It didn't come to a complete stop in either the 12 or 25mph tests. I'm trying to figure out if the refresh of the NX for 18 includes a BETTER system than what they had, or if they're throwing the same system in. It's ridiculous that the RAV4 aces the tests, but this can't.

 

Just took deliver of 2018 NX. Tested the cruise and it came to complete stop and start Togo all on its own. Love the car
