I have a 2022 NX which uses the same HUD and wheel controls and I've driven it for over 6 months now. This system is excellent. It's incredibly intuitive. All you have to do is touch (not press, they're also capacitive) any button on either side of the wheel and that section of buttons pops up on the HUD instantly to show you what they all do. You then actually press the button to activate its function. It took me about 5 seconds to understand how it works and get used to it. It's also important to note that the default layout is exactly what you'd expect, again making it intuitive. Left side is phone and media controls by default and right side is cruise control by default. There's very little reason to ever hit the menu switch button. And I suppose if you don't like the defaults they're also completely configurable. Overall there's hardly any reason to ever touch the main center screen beyond advanced climate control functions and maybe some app interactions.

If anybody's curious, the hybrid 4 cylinder is not a turbo. None of the hybrid options will have a turbo 4-cylinder, the turbo 4 cylinder is the replacement to the v6. Hybrid options all use the 2.5 l Atkinson cycle four-cylinder engine. It is the same four-cylinder engine that is in their current hybrid Highlanders and siennas. If I had to guess why the sport model has more power, it has a larger battery pack and allows for much more current into the electric motors to assist the gas motor. This is much like the RAV4 Prime does.

Not to mention it also adds extra usage steps for no reason, (button, then pull vs simple 1 step pulling the door). Just doesn't make sense. - A heavy, lifting gullwing or sliding door is different, but a regular door that you pull/push open anyway may as well just stick with 1 simple, intuitive handle and nix the electronic multistep option.

This is the clip u have been looking for: kzread.info/dash/bejne/g5Z8o8OQqampqpc.html !

I love the styling on this one. That front end doesn't bother me as much as I originally thought, the safety hump I am referring to. Particularly not a fan of this examples colourway (blue exterior and black wheels), but in a pearl white or their metallic black, would be my pick for sure.

Any time I can’t get to sleep I put on a video of Doug Demuro reviewing a Lexus.

The camera system is only like that while in park, it’s much better and interactive while ACTUALLY DRIVING

No one is gonna appreciate Doug making content for us in the rain

Nice, another rain review. Doug has no time to wait for weather!

Why must new cars have an electronic door pooper (not to be confused with central locking)? People are just fine opening a regular door handle to get in and out.

It had a safety system linked to it where it helps prevent you from opening the door on a passing car/bike/person, but that’s about the only advantage besides it being a tiny bit easier to open the door from the inside I guess

Maybe thanks to this now there's an alternative way for opening? And a little bit more of battery consumption 🤔 I don't know of options for door opening in the traditional way

Do you think you will ever give vehicle weights and or approximate power to weight ratios in your reviews?

@averyalexander2303

Жыл бұрын

Probably not since it always varies so much. Different trim levels, body styles, engine options, etc often have vastly different power levels and weights. And if someone wants to know, it will take them less than 30 seconds to calculate it for themselves. Power to weight ratio isn't even nearly as useful for estimating a vehicle's performance as most people think it is anyways.

remember the days when Doug picked the top, most performancy version (500h) of the vehicles he chose to review…

The door handle thingy is just like Apple's home button from Iphone 7

Can wait for him to review the new TOGG brand, if it ever comes to the US

The new one looks so nice vs the old version. Just a modern version of an already decent looking car, in my opinion of course

have you ever considered using a big ass tint and driving into it when raining? like an easy up tent. or something that can just protect the front of the car that you’re reviewing.

More car spotting videos Doug!! maybe a Halloween special one? ;)

Doug can you teach Hoovie and other youtubers how to get a consistent volume level? You are the only one that don't have to adjust the volume depending on the shot.

Most KZreadrs are terrible with volume levels, Doug has a mic clipped to his shirt on all videos so it’s easy to keep it leveled

Great review!

Doug always says your car does this, buuut this car can do that. I have a question, what if that is my car?
