Could someone measure the rear passenger step-in height from ground for me? One of the issues for myself is that I have to take the parents around sometimes. We currently have a Venza and low step-in height is great for elderly ingress and egress. Thanks.
Thanks corradoMR2. Interesting... The ingress and egress heights, respectively, measure 15.5" and 26" my Venza V6. Maybe the NX doesn't feel as high as it is? I know my grandmother has very difficult time getting in and out of my brother's 2013 RX. How would you say the heights very between the NX and RX?
^^^ Wish I had measured the RX, but my guesstimate is about 1 inch less for the ingress and about the same for the egress because the rear seat in the NX is higher than the RX's.
To note though, my larger wheels add 6 mm in height, so to be optimistic, the ingress is closer to 18", but still 2.5 inches more than the Venza. Those 2.5 inches I believe "feel less" in the front of the NX thanks to the lower sport seating which is partly why it almost feels like the Venza's seating position.
Another thing to consider is the Venza has a tonne of rear legroom and footroom in addition to 3 inches more seat width over the NX which makes it a tough sell (unfortunately) if you need maximum space and rear comfort. But, the ride on the NX is better than the Venza's in my experience as the Venza is a little harsh on some surfaces (I had the 245/50/20 in Michelin Latitudes). Good luck in your decision!
Thanks for posting ALE81. Ingress is about the same as the RX @18-18.5" and egress for the RX is actually lower @~28" (from the bottom of the cushion where your rear gets off from). This is due to the RX's lower seat cushion.
