2) Again like the RAV4, front passenger seat adjustability looks pretty limited on what should be a fully loaded model. I can't imagine it's only a 4-way powered seat like in a RAV4 limited but I'm not expecting anything more than a 6-way seat. It makes me wonder how adjustable the driver's seat is. Also 6-way with 2 way lumbar? Dare I hope that the thigh cushion can be moved up and down without moving the entire seat height?

The driver and passenger seat is a 8 way adjustable seats.

I am fully aware of the reputation the Lexus brand brings with it. These vehicles are built like a bullet. They will last for years with minimal to no issues.

I am always completely unimpressed with the tech inside a Lexus. It's either outdated or there isn't enough of it.

I am torn between the new NX 350 Hybrid and a Genesis GV70.

The loaded GV70 is within $7k of a loaded NX 350, has waaaay more (and better) tech inside the vehicle. It's also, sadly, a gas guzzler that only takes premium fuel.

The NX 350 Hybrid would get better gas mileage (15MPG more), take regular fuel, and have slightly better depreciation, Service centers would also be better, I imagine, as Genesis is sharing them with Hyundai.

Genesis has a better warranty than Lexus

However, Genesis blows Lexus out of the water when it comes to a "fun vehicle" to drive. And that's my issue with Lexus. Their tech is always behind by several years. The interior of their vehicles look outdated. We don't even know how good the Mark Levinson system will be in this vehicle since the quality seems to differ from model to model and year to year.

I'm not trying to start an argument in a Lexus forum. I'm very much in agreement that Lexus is the better brand, but I am having a very hard time (outside of the fuel economy) of justifying the purchase of this vehicle based on tech. I really wish Lexus did a little better on this vehicle. No power folding mirrors? That's the least any luxury vehicle company could put in their trim.

Apologies. I started another thread here where we can compare the NX to other vehicles. Hopefully, the Moderators will allow it.
