We just got a new NX350h after owning 3 RX's. Thank you for your thorough reviews that are helping us learn our new car. So far we love it, as you do yours!

Thanks for the comprehensive review. I am picking up my Redline NX350h on Sunday! Your review put my mind at ease regarding the interior controls and more. Great job!

Thank you, that was one of the best pieces of content on this product. Hugs from Brazil.

Great video Brian! I also just picked up my Nori Green 2024 350h and I love it!

Great video, now patiently waiting on the night time review!

Great job of explaining in details of NX250H. Thank you.

You made a great choice, very sweet ride! I hope to pick up mine within a month.

Looking forward to seeing your night review.

Ordered my 350h f sport in June 22. It’s just gone into production. I get it September 23. Can’t wait

I have had a very hard time mastering the steering wheel controls. Your walk-through really helped me though I would wish for another video going into greater detail. Thanks for what you have done. Best move is to replace the run-flat tires. They are known noisemakers with a rougher ride than a regular tire

Excellent review Brian. I particularly like the run-through you did with all the steering wheel functions. That is the first time I've seen that in a YT review of this model. Clear, concise and logical. We have a NX450h+ on order (6 months and waiting...some day.....!) to replace our 2012 CT200h F-Sport. Toyota/Lexus hybrids are the way to go. Nothing has ever broken on our CT. After almost 200,000km every switch, every light bulb is all original. The interior and paint still look like new. Just tires, oil/filter changes and fluid changes per the Lexus schedule. I hope all the tech in the new car will hold up for as long. Thanks.

The green was a good choice. I like the subtlety yet still looks amazing.

​@@YBrianL, Why did you feel 20in wheels have a harder ride? Intuitively, lager wheels should make a ride felt softer and less bumpy. I'm in a process of purchasing NX 350h Luxury (or Executive version) vs. Prime (18in wheels), so your response would be greatly appreciated.

I love the colour combinations. Looks really good. Besides the glove box they also added the interior colour to the passenger side of the consol.

The intro was cinematic bliss.

Cadmium orange is an awesome color in person! Videos and pictures don't do it justice. It's a really cool color.

Excellent review. Really good explanations and camera work. Thanks very much for taking the time to do this review. Very helpful!

yea sunglasses absolutely cutout the visibility of the HUD considerably. It does vary depending on the exact lighting conditions, but for the most part it's more of a (big) nuisance but not like completely unusable with sunglasses. To me though it still beats glancing down at the steering wheel.

Hey, owner of 24 NX FSPORT here, I have the 20 inch wheels and really don't feel much of anything. However the FSPORT has adaptive suspension as well but overall a very smooth ride.

Great review. Helped my girlfriend decide on this car versus others. Thank you

Looks fantastic interior and exterior!

I hope that transition between the battery and the gas engine stays smooth, because I had 2020 rx hybrid and I hate driving it every moment. The transition between battery and engine kicks in was very noticeable and yankied. The engine roar so loud inside the cebine. So I sold it out for the normal gas one and never had any problem until then.

Excellent review by a real owner. We have had our 350H (2024 Atomic Silver w/ Palomino) for about a month and feel very similarly about the quality/luxury of the ride and the gas mileage. We are in the US (and have the Luxury package) so our gas is displayed in miles/gal which on average for us is 42.2. And 90% of our 3,000 miles were traveling on 55-60 MPH highways over mountains. ACC is awesome. Especially on long drives. Both LKA as well as the automatic slowing on curves. Though if it needs to slow from 65MPH to 40MPH it waits a bit to long so I take over in those cases. One tip - with the 360 degree view you can set it so that the “front” view automatically comes on when you slow below about 7mph. I use that all the time as it helps with alignment in parking spaces, etc. But it could be annoying to some. Also, regarding navigation instructions in the HUD, they actually show up if your are using CarPlay with Apple Maps but not when using Google Maps. Apple Maps must have some additional integration with the Lexus systems.

Congats on your new Lexus. I just got the same atomic silver/Palomino luxury 1 week ago and couldn't be happier. I am interested in finding out how you are achieving over 40mpgs? I have only gotten to 34mpg. I don't feel like I am being aggressive either. Does putting the music and a/c factor into it? Also, how do you reset the mpg gauge to 0?

Those 18" wheels do to great!

Well done and great owner’s review. I also watched your previous review where you picked it up from the dealership. I’m in Australia and my partner ordered a 350h on the 5th of March 2022. Yes… 2022!! We don’t even have a build date yet. All of ours come from Japan. Our top trim here equivalent to yours is called the Sports Luxury and thats what my partnered ordered… same Palamino interior and panoramic sunroof, except the exterior colour is dark grey. I’ve also ordered the F Sport coloured wheel arch mouldings and i’m going to swap them as there’s so much damn unpainted plastic!! But anyway… I’m looking forward to your future videos.

it is not delayed. I really like the way it works, particularly on the inside, opening it with a thumb press feels very natural. However we just recently had a bout alternating rain/snow followed by a frigid deep freeze. I found one of the buttons seemed a bit frozen and had limited travel so it took noticeably more force to press the button down to open the door. Now that it's warmed up it seems to have fixed itself.

Brian, absolutely outstanding review…thank you so much! I have my 2024 350H set to arrive in 4 weeks (Redline red, black interior)…curious if you’ve looked ahead to your next set of tires (when the run flats wear out)? Thanks again for your content!

Great review. We currently have a 2016 and 2020 RX, gas only. Just put down a deposit on a 2024 RX350h. I am very curious about the driving experience of the hybrid. Can you cover more of your experience?

@YBrianL

6 ай бұрын

3 biggest differences in coasting/braking/accelerating. Right off the bat the most noticeable thing was the regen braking resistance. If you're someone who coasts to stop a lot in a regular gas car, you'll find that in the hybrid you'll need to delay the coasting, because it slows down noticeably faster as the brakes regen to charge the battery. It's not a good or bad thing it's just by design. The actual braking feel is pretty interesting. On gradual braking (on scale of 1-10, say gradual is 1-4), the regen is enough to slow the car down to a near complete stop then the traditional hydraulic brakes would kick in at the last second to stop and hold the car, you may sometimes notice a very faint feedback from the brake pedal. It's VERY faint but the brake transition timing is unmistakable, and it's only on the pedal, a passenger wouldn't feel a thing. On aggressive braking (6-10) or just braking at highway speeds, the traditional hydraulic brakes kick in almost right away. In either case the brake feels perfectly smooth, where it's not so smooth is if you go from 4 - 6 while you still have some speed left, that's when the transition can feel a little too sudden. Essentially always brake steadily and don't go above 4 unless in emergency, you want to stay below 4 anyways to maximize regen and efficiency. Other than that I really like the acceleration of the hybrid a lot more than gas. Unless you're flooring it from the get go, it should always start with electric only which is very linear and very responsive. The transition to gas as you speed up is very smooth as well, it's more noticeable when the engine is cold but once it warms up its barely noticeable.

Hey Brian, have you drove the Venza as well? What are your thoughts in regards to this versus a top spec Venza, ie what features are unique for the NX Hybrid? Also, is maintenance more expensive on this compared to a Venza / RAV-4 Hybrid? Thanks!

@YBrianL

7 ай бұрын

have not driven the venza myself but at a quick glance NX hybrid has a tad bit more hp/torque, bigger screen (and physical vol / temp dials if that matters to you), customizable steering wheel switches (controversial but still), leather seats, heated rear seats, digital latch/safe exit assist, etc.....but I'd imagine the NX sound system to blow venza out the water, and the cabin should be ever so slightly quieter which combines to make the listening experience much better. That sound system itself is worth the price difference for me lol. and maint cost shouldn't differ too much they take the same regular gas and same synthetic engine oil

Hi Brian! Since you have had your Lexus NX for a few months mow, how do you clean the exterior of the car? Just hand wash? There are so many sensors was wondering about how to clean the exterior without damaging them

@YBrianL

7 ай бұрын

I only had it in the automated car wash once other than that I just wiped dirty areas or cameras every now and then. The sensors aren't completely exposed so they shouldn't be so easily damaged, I wouldn't worry too much about it.

HThe runflat tires seems makes the ride more rough and give more road noise, one thing I will address when I wear them down and just switch to normal 20inch Bridgestones. Besides that and a bit too much gloss black pain inside, I love my NX 350h. Though around town I do find the driving assist breaking when overtaking parked car on the side of the road every now and then.

Great review Brian. Congrats on your new NX. What is the engine noise like in the cabin under acceleration? Another review complained about the engine noise and eCVT - am interested in getting your perspective. Thanks.

Under hard acceleration you can definitely hear the engine but in my opinion it's not overwhelming and you dont get that horrible droning sound that some nissans or subaru CVTs have (or used to at least).

First time viewer and I was so impressed with the thorough yet concise review that I had to comment. Great job! I have the 2023 model and agree that the vehicle is made with front passengers in mind.

Ride improved a little not super noticeable. Road noise was absolutely night and day though it’s serene without the run flats

I love the Nori Green color. Was looking at the 350h vs 450h+, but I can't justify the extra $10,000 for what essentially boils down to one gallon of gas per full charge. The MPG for the hybrid are fantastic, and it gets similar to what I am getting in my Camry hybrid.

Nice review! However, i ended up going with a 23 Acura RDX Aspec. Traded in my 19 Mazda CX5 and NX profile looks similar to it. Too large of a grill, smaller back seats and cargo, fake leather, run flats and non-sporty styling were my drawbacks on the NX.

I was a little disappointed with the choice of colour available when I ordered my Lexus in the UK. I went for the pearly white, can’t remember what it’s called but it’s quite nice and gives different effects in different light conditions.
