2024* Lexus NX / ExtRAVagant

Автокөліктер мен көлік құралдары

The 2024/2023 Lexus NX is a great luxury SUV but it can't completely hide what lies beneath the skin. However, I think its Toyotaness makes it an even stronger competitor to the Acura RDX, Audi Q5, Mercedes GLC, BMW X3 and more!

    I really do enjoy that you view these cars from a realists point of view. You're well aware that this has plentiful performance and that engine may not be the quietest but is not there is a pro to using that engine. A lot of reviewers that I've enjoyed for a long time like Savagegeese were just so ridiculous about how they look at the NX. Keep up the humble and sensible approach you have.

My parents own a 2020 RX350 and I find the touchscreen to be so out of place. I'm 6ft with long arms and can't seem to reach that screen.

There’s no protruding rear bumper anymore, so if you get bumped, you’re going to lose that back hatch and probably the glass too. 😖 Great review - and love the “hidey-hole” comment!! 😂 And no spare tire on this thing???

    Nx might take an edge in quietness, they’re comparable with road comfort but the venza has a worse cabin in most regards outside of cargo area and backseat size. I’d have to drive them back to back to add more but I’d personally go with a Venza because it rides so well for the money.

    Lexus uses only run flat tires which is a step away from achieving the best available ride. Those tires should only be an option. They are noisier and give you a bumpier ride because they have Rock hard sidewalls to support the vehicle when all the air leaks from the tire. Also because of this the car is less safe because as you hit bumps the tire will not maintain the same ground contact that regular quality tires will give you. Run flats have a better chance of your tires becoming airborne rather. I will never buy a car with run flats. Even if it is a $30,000 vehicle. Lexus is a $70,000 CAD plus vehicle 👎👎👎👎
