- Physical climate control buttons.
- Get rid of piano black.
- Get rid of RFT and add a spare.
- Body colored wheel arch trim instead of black.
- RX style trunk cover instead of strings holding the cover.
- Regular door handles instead of electric ones.
- Simplified steering controls (should not multiple steps to get to the desired function).
- A setting to allow auto reset of trip odometer after fill up.
- Capless fuel fill. A minor thing I know but really appreciate it on the RDX.

(I have all this feedback without even owning one!)

WOW, I would really, really would like too see your ideas if you owned an NX

I really would like the Lexus design engineers to go back and look at the two Toyotas: RAV4 and RAV4 Prime. There are a lot of things that Toyta did correclty and Lexus changed for no good reason, just because they could. In many cases Lexus should take a step back and put the good thing back in: e.g. Home screen, spare tire, simple HVAC control, etc.

YMMV,

Yes it's very cheap on their part but it's a quick swap for those turn signals.

Good list.

RFT is the big neg though. No spare tire was almost a show stopper.

No jack and lug wrench also. I had to buy those separately.

I can live with the other nags. Toyota/Lexus wasted time, money and effort on the wrong things.

The first gen NX had the ability to view tire PSI on the MFD. Get rid of the G-force meter which seems superfluous and put the PSI in its place. At present you have to go through the screens to check tire pressure. This came up with me since I had a recent slow leak due to a screw.

Lexus should make standard sensors that detect when windows are broken and have the app inform owners.

That's something I had posted previously as a minor annoyance. Especially since there is already a blank space (I believe right after the g-force nonsense) that would already serve as a place for tire psi.

Blind spot monitor warnings/notification should show up in the HUD display
Audible alert when blind spot monitor activated

Most of the time I use the Lexus navigation system in my NX 350h instead of cell phone apps, but I'm really annoyed by the Lexus system's default compass setting. I prefer to have North-pointing display constant so the map isn't spinning all the time! Why can't that setting's default be changed? Please fix this, Lexus

For the 2026 refresh, LEXUS should find a better way to hang the black cap for the electric plugin while charging. In theory we can wedge the cap onto the electric door cover, but it doesn’t hold very well. My Toyota gas cap fit well on the door without having to force it. I usually just let the MX electric cap dangle when charging because it’s such a pain to marry it with the door cover.

Wife has a 2023 NX 350h and has no audible warning for BSM. I bought a 2024 RX 350h and it has an audible warning. So it can be done.

I plan to keep my NX for a long time, I really like it and so far its treated me very well (fingers crossed) as did my RX right to its last day with me near 14 yrs age. But, I think if they came out with an NX500h model with the hybrid MAX system, Yea, Mmmmm, tasty! I would have a hard time to resist. That's the right (and by "right" I mean, Yea Baby) amount of power for an NX. The 500h models in the RX and TX for example gives those heavier larger vehicles "nice power", but just like Toyota is willing to plop a 300HP turbo engine into a Corolla, I think the NX should be allowed to come out and play too!


Having also lived quite a bit in the 20% Toyota world of Subaru, I miss a couple features they have:

a) Warning tones on the BSM (as many have pointed out)
b) Being able to put up a set of 3 gauges of your choice onto a center mounted MFD. With the Lexus 14" screen being so large and massively underutilized, I would like to see like an option for a couple inches of the left side be able to display some custom gauge choices instead of the one at a time MFD. I suppose this could lead into other better options like permanent home/Lexus buttons. So much wasted potential here. I grew up in the later era of command line and card reader computers, and I still remember seeing and using WIndows 1.0 and Macintosh systems and their muti-tasking multi-window systems for the first time. The Lexus interface while looking very pretty at casual glance, really reminds me of old DOS applications that could only do one thing at a time. Thank the car gods for at least AA or ACP to get us out of the 90s in terms of functional design.

"Warning tones on the BSM", I thought there is a setting in 'Driving Assist' where user can set "visual" or "visual&audible"?

I am on my second week ownership, I was surprised there is no 'tire pressure' report display on information stack on left corner. I thought this was norm for all modern vehicles now days? I can see the pressure from my phone app but that is just a snapshot of the moment. everything else is standard Lexus/normal features everything is in the familiar places so it's near perfect as it is in the price range. 350h first tank averaged 42MPG and A/C works nicely for a "hybrid". I do wish the root rail was more of the low profile common standard clamp style instead of the screw on type. I already have two crossbars and I can't use either one on the NX.

Wife likes her NX450h+ but only things I’d like to see would be the ability to odometer miles broken down between the electric mode and ICE mode. It would be helpful for maintenance reasons.
I’m also not a fan of a CVT transmission and would prefer something with a 8 or 10 speed trans like our Cayenne had.
And finally something not so “techy” …I don’t care for all the fluff gadgets.
