Car Dealership Guy posted that automakers are defaulting to the “greyscale” colors of black, white, grey, and silver because they are cheaper to produce. 80% of new cars sold in 2024 were greyscale, an increase of 33% since 2004. And it will probably increase in the next few years.

While I love my atomic silver, I also like that bronze overtrail color. Has anyone painted their NX a different color than stock?

Pictures and cost please!

 

I got white because the only options were white, silver or black. I would have loved Nori Green but it wasn't available unless I went up to the executive package.

Might paint or wrap it in the future, not sure.

 

White is too boring, black - I hate it lol because you can see every spec of dust every scratch and everything even after you wash it, 5 minutes later you can see all the dirt, therefore silver is the best, it hides some dirt and I am not sure about scratches... the time will tell

 

If you want a different color, you can always go the wrap route. They can print pretty much anything or give you any color that you'd want and when/if you decide to sell or even get tired of the color, you pull the wrap off. It's considerably cheaper than a Good paint job too.

The downside is that they might not wrap the door jambs or under the hood but you have to decide for yourself if that's an issue or not but the person doing the wrapping can advise you better than I can.

Just a thought.

 

If copper crest was available at launch, I probably would have gone with that.

 

Today I was listening to the radio and they were discussing this very same thing. In this case, they said that these (as they said it) drab monochromatic colors have risen from 40% to 80% of cars in the last few years. Not sure where they got their data, but they were referring to some kind of personality study (probably more of a joke than a true scientific one), but they said people that choose black are focused on power and prestige, people that choose grey are indecisive. I don't remember what they called people that choose white. Our current cars are blue and black, but in order the cars before were orange, white, burgundy, green, grey, red over the last 20 yrs. I guess I have a multiple personality issue, I rarely get the same color.

 

I spend 6 months of the year in southern Spain, subject to Saharan dust every time the wind is in the south.
Most colors would be simply sandblasted off with constant washing. ….

 

Are those wheels specific to the UK? The North American NX 350h features a different wheel design. I must say, these wheels look fantastic and really complement the car's stunning color.

 

I've seen them in Europe and Korea. It's my favorite wheel out of the OEM options.

 

At launch in the UK these wheels were only on the Takumi version. (I think that is the Luxury version in the US/)

 

Standard on UK Takumi.

 

All I gotta say is those wheels are looking good regardless on what the exterior color of the car is 👌

 

Just MHO but I like the current USA wheel choices much better. If you like the wheels great

YMMV,

Are they 18" or 20"

 

They are 20”.
