i own a nx350h and during a service they lent me an rx350 and to tell you the truth the only thing i liked more about the rx was the extra few inches of space and the slight bit quieter. Everything else felt identical from the technology to the steering feel and acceleration. I actually prefer my nx more because the size makes the vehicle feel more tossable when making quick lane changes and going on and off the ramps. The spare tire isn't a deal breaker for me as I drive locally so even getting a flat tire isn't a big deal as the tow companies are minutes away. I however changed the tires last season to non rfts whixh was the best decision i've made after buying this vehicle. Let alone the value you get. I was able to throw an extra package with more features for the same price as the rx that doesn't even have those comforts as the one I drove for my rental.

Sorry for the long read but I hope someone finds this useful if they are stuck between the two and need a real owner perspective.

What you forgot to mention, the RX has a real spare tires and run on normal tires. The NX runs on run flat and has no spare tires except for the base model. This is a major concern not having a spare tire for me!

The concluding section of the video was well done, I feel like some points from my personal experience owning an RX and having an NX for a few months might be helpful to anyone reading.

I've borrowed my brother's NX450h+ for a few months and I had issues with the roof clearance hitting my head on bumps while trying to get the maximum visibility from the driver side seat. I'm only 5'7. In my RX I literally don't have that issue despite being on the highest vertical setting with any degree forward or back. I have tried the forward passenger seat on both cars and I felt my RX felt like so much more of a pleasant experience. They really are almost identical performance wise; however, the Radiant Crossover is a much more serene experience, especially behind the wheel, than the Nimble Crossover. It's really about the feeling of gliding with comfort and luxury that defines the RX, while the NX is more there to provide the same performance rather than the feel. It's more about the craftsmanship that separates the two models.

This was a great comparison, I prefer the NX personally!😸

[annawilliamson]

I've lusted after the RX since they were first introduced, but given that the NX offers just about everything the RX does, including passenger and cargo room, I would be tempted to go save a few bucks and go for the NX. The plug-in hybrid version will definitely be on my short list for my next vehicle.

[rakuma]

I see numbers you've shown, but still when I got inside both cars at my dealership I felt like RX was noticeably more spacious, especially for back row and with back seats fully declined. The only issue I had was the back row headroom in the RX with panoramic roof (I am quite tall) - but it's not the case if you decline your seat.
I also love semi-aniline leather which is available only for Omotenashi trim of the RX I believe (at least here in Poland).

I currently have an 2020 NX 300 with very low miles (12, 000) which I will be selling to get the NX 350 2024. I love the NX!

[gingie]

I just bought the NX 350h Luxury. Thank you for helping me make my decision.

[newsmedia-one]

I’m in love with both of these models❤❤😍🔥

[michaelvella]

I theak the RX is a better deal. For an extra $7000 you get a bigger, smoother and more comfortable SUV.

[waynechorney]

I am RX all the way.
Better in comfort also little wider on the interior and exterior. The $6700.00 in savings will start to diminish once you have to replace the run flats on the NX. Also noise level on those run flats. Nicer wheels and real tires with a spare tire to boot for the RX. I also prefer the new grill on the RX. The NX grill is starting to look outdated. The NX looks very narrow both interior and exterior. My choice though will be the RX350H. Can you do a new video with the hybrid comparisons?

[greatlakes]

I have both: 21 RX 350 and 24 NX 350, in regards to driving experience, NX is smoother and with nicer interior design

[foca]

I just bought a 2024 NX350 Fsport for my wife we traded our 2016 RX350. The MSRP was 51.800 a RX 350 F sport was 10k more for the same package.

[rmooremarine]

Test drove both back to back. Money not an issue. NX looked better to my wife and I. RX looked like a bloated version and NX like an athletic version. NX more nimble, better in parking lots. Space is so close we didn't notice. RX did have leg extension front seats we liked but couldn't get over the look of our bright red NX luxury package we ended up with. Also tested a loaded Rav4 and NX is much better hard to believe based on same platform

[jml]

I bought an 2024 NX350H because the RX350H was at least $12K more. 😊

[CalStressReliefCnter]

Thank you I didn’t realize the NX was similar in size...
Now I’m more torn than ever
Good job guys!
With appreciation, Me

[andrewopinko]

Why did you award a half point for 21 inch rims over 20s.
I have sold tires and rims for 5 years and 21s should loose you a point vs 20s. Tough to find 21s and super expensive

[sunshinewalker]

Don't buy any new Lexus unless the Dealer can supply 2 keys at purchase. Chip shortage forces them to give only 1 key at purchase with promise to give a second one later. Dealing with that now and the process is a shitshow.
Waste of time bounced around the dealer form2 weeks now trying to get second key.

[Shambles]

Both reliable and luxury, but If you want more room you should pick RX

[WSOJ]

Aside from size, they really don’t differ all that much now as they both ride on the same TNGA-K platform now.

The older generation used to be using two different platforms.
