This was the PERFECT review of both vehicles. I have widdled my choices down to the RAV 4 hybrid and the NX 350 hyrbid. So many benefits of both. MPG is almost the same if you check the website fuelly. One thing that is different is the AIR suspension on the NX vs SPRING on Rav 4. That will make the NX more comfortable ride.

Thank you! Have you looked at the Venza? It splits the difference between the two and is essentially a more posh RAV4 hybrid. Also, I do not recommend the new RX hybrid (I assume that’s what you were referring to). It shares the same engine as the NX350h, Rav, and Venza, and is slow and loud.

The best comparison video I have watched so far. Nothing beats real life experience. You have to use cars as a daily driver to really be able to tell what the deal is. I have a 2021 RAV4 hybrid awd which I’m very pleased about. We are a family of three and it’s just the perfect size. Anything smaller would be not enough anything larger is a nuisance when you have to drive into town especially since were living in Germany where everything from parking to roads is smaller. The only problem I have is that here in Germany the RAV4 is not a very good value because it is insanely priced. And mine is a special model called Black Edition, which means it has everything that is usually silver or unpainted plastic is painted in the same special black with glitter in it, then the rest of the car. The undercarriage parts of the bumper, the back and everything else and it has special 19 inch alloy wheels, which no other RAV4 model in Germany has. So mine is not fully loaded. It lacks the sunroof, the heated rear seats, the memory function for the driver seat for example and it still did cost €53,000. A fully loaded Prime would’ve cost €70,000. You are very lucky with the prices you’re paying for Toyota and Lexus vehicles 😮😊

Hands down, this is the best car review video I've ever watched (and I've watched hundreds). Your commentary was concise and engaging, and very relevant. I currently own a Hyundai Santa Fe PHEV, and for the most part I love it. However, I HATE road/wind noise and I want to buy a vehicle that minimizes both, as much as possible. I had been looking at the NX hybrid, but based on your review, I don't know if the cabin is going to be quiet enough for me. Thanks for the info!

@chrisstewart7147

Жыл бұрын

@@beri232 I’ve had mine since mid Nov 2022 and I love it. It’s eerily silent in EV mode around town. Highway noise is very low as well. You get some wind rush, but it’s not really loud. The car tames the noises very well. I think the noise issues people have are with those run-flat tires. When I had them on over 4 months the ride was compliant, but at times more stiff than what I was used to in a Lexus. Also, road noise varied by surface. It was there in the background, but not as muted as with the Michelins. I got Michelin CrossClimate 2’s. I will say the Michelin tires make a big difference vs the run-flats. I assume no pano roof as that’s too much added weight? I use EV mode around town which is 98% of the time and only use gas if I put the NX into (HV)hybrid mode or if I venture out of town. Like any Lexus/Toyota the transitions are seamless and smooth. You can’t really feel it switching over. I test drove the RZ luxury in town and out on the highway. It’s a very similar(almost an exact copy) of my vehicle going 55-60mph. Smooth and quiet. Very tranquil. Just the RZ is a pure EV with not much range. I’m not sure about the ML. If they will decide to add that or not. That wasn’t a deal breaker for me. I’ve had ML in other Lexus cars I’ve had and it’s ok. I don’t always have music on

I’ll have to figure out what your prices are and what the differences are. I believe, though I might be wrong, in Canada the trims we get on Toyotas are packages and the Lexus packages we get are trims. And from others who have commented, your “luxury” trim on the NX is more or less our “premium” package since you have the executive trim above that (I think). So absolutely can and will do but I’m sure I’ll get things wrong. 😅

Thank you! I think both your options are great but definitely do your homework on EV depreciation… technology is changing so rapidly (plus EVs aren’t selling to begin with) if you intend to purchase and not lease the car, you might find after 5 years it’s not worth much at all. The Rav and NX, on the other hand, will hold their value well even over time. On the flip side, you’ll be waiting a long while for a Rav Prime but if the EV6 is like the IONIQ5, there are probably a ton just sitting around on dealer lots waiting for a buyer.

I have driven the autobahn and let me tell you it is up there on my list of the best driving experiences I’ve ever had. And it was in a little Mercedes rental too no less! That probably wasn’t legal or allowed by the rental company but oh well. 😂 And I will say that I was doing comfortably above 85 but yeah… that road is fun when no one is around. 😁

They didn't do anything about the road noise though frankly

GOOD REVIEW!

Great info. I'm old and need more noise isolation on at least one vehicle. I would get the R4H and maybe the ES 300H. Again, great insights.

Great comparison, thanks for all the videos posted, I also opted for the NX. Apparently, sometime in the summer of 2024, I should get it, I hope😅 . I do not have the opportunity and funds for a second car at the moment and the choice had to fall on the NX. It is a bit smaller, but it will have to be used for everything that would be a bigger car, bigger, sometimes dirty luggage, sometimes 4 adults, and even 5, and maybe sleeping 😀. But I fit, I checked it in the Lexus showroom😎. Apart from the size, the NX is as practical as the RAV4, which I like a lot.

Oh my gosh are you in Canada or elsewhere outside the US? Summer of 2024 is a ridiculously long wait for an NX, I really hope it comes sooner for you!! But fantastic choice and I think you’ll absolutely love it. The third adult in the back seat might not love it, but that’s okay. 🤣 Hopefully that won’t have to happen too often. I will say that the price difference for the RX isn’t big at all, in fact there was a nice RX350h at the dealer recently for only $1,000 more than I paid for mine. It didn’t have the HUD or digital mirror, but it had the 14” screen and a moonroof. While you wait, you might want to think on that since you’ll be using your car for a lot of utility! I think it might be worth a few thousand more in your case.

I happen to live in Richmond, British Columbia, Canada. And yes, we have to wait 3 to 6 months to get the 2024 NX 350h we ordered. 😊

Great Video!!

Great and honest review, I hate fake leather though, I prefer leather to be leather, and if I don’t want leather, I’d prefer velour or regular cloth seats, this faux leather reminds me of my fathers old cars back in the day with the vinyl seats that smelled cheap and got too hot on a sunny day.

I totally get not liking faux leather and absolutely do what is going to make you happy but for me it’s the best of both worlds. Far more resilient than cloth or leather and keeps its shape since it’s bonded to the seat padding. Not to mention how much better it’ll look compared to even the best kept leather in 5 years when I go to sell this car. That said, if this was an actual luxury car like an LS or a Cayenne, it would have to be leather but the NX is a cheap little economical crossover so I’m good with it here.
