Lexus' 39 MPG Answer To The German Sports CUVs | 2022 Lexus NX 350h

Rather than imitate the X3 or GLC with a Lexus IS based RWD crossover, the NX is focused on high efficiency, lower operational costs and a pragmatic interior. With 39 MPG combined and the option of a plug-in-hybrid if you'd rather go that route, the NX is hands down the most efficiency SUV in this category. But is it fun?

I've owned my NX350h for 2 months. Agree with everything in your detailed review. I've gotten 43 & 47 MGP on my first two fill ups (calculated by trip meter & gas added at fill up), 50/50 city-highway

[flashsushi]

For the first four years of ownership, the NX350h will be saving a household $1, 500-2, 000 in gasoline money. From the 5th year and beyond, with upkeep, will probably save $3, 000-5, 000 a year compared to the European competition.

For many middle-class households, this is probably the go to car, if someone doesn't like how the RAV4 Hybrid looks. Venza should be a good alternative to this too.

Sure, it won't drive as well because it's FWD-biased and the DIRECT4 is just shuffling torque between front and rear but this car should have ACA (brake-based torque vectoring).

I got the nx 350h and very happy with it. Getting more than stated mpg

Understandable that the hybrid version is the biggest seller. The current cost of premium gas in N Texas is now $5 per gallon at Costco. Nice performance as well!

I researched and researched nearly every SUV in this size and ended up ordering a new KIA Sportage SX Prestige Hybrid. It had everything I was wanting with the exception of the wireless Apple Carplay. In the past I had leased a Lexus and really like it but all the tech and features for the price is what determined why I chose the Kia.

[graham]

Have been considering the 350h versus the Rav4 Hybrid Limited. Much nicer interior but the difference in price is ~$5k for basically the same features. Will probably get the Lexus simply because the current wait time is 4-6 months compared to 1.5-2 years for the Rav4. If the wait wasn't a consideration I'd get the Rav4 though.

Good improvements, but I feel the interior could be more plush and luxurious. A Venza has more stitching than this car. Their newer products have a more modern design, but it’s also not the same plush cushy luxury like previous gens especially with the new LX. But Toyota knows hybrids, and makes good stuff so I believe this is still a great option.

The 2022 NX will be the mist reliable and fuel efficient vehicles. I have the 250 model and it's great comfortable cabin and comfortable ride . Alex knows toyota makes the most reliable vehicles. We all know

[lukeh.]

I leased a 2016 NX sport and am leasing a 2019 NX hybrid. I think I’ll finally purchase the 2022 NX hybrid and keep it for the long run.

Lexus needs to develop an interior design theme
They just threw a massive screen in where it really doesn't fit
It looks more Toyota than Lexus.
When you sit in a Lexus, you should know you're in a Lexus.

As someone who is around 5'7", these "head touching the ceiling" part of your videos makes me glad I'm short.

There's an issue with the Qi charger and any iPhone with MagSafe. The phone won't charge for more than a few minutes (hence the blinking orange light).

I have the Lexus NX & I Do- Not even buy gas!!! …..Glad you Like this own the 2022 450h+ F sport..Note the Heads Up display on the windshield W/14” Crystal clear display on both, alone makes the Lexus is In Atomic Silver Glows in the Sun Light with Lil" grey metal flake" and same Circut Red interior.. but with Electric battery...Has 306 Horse power 0 to 60 in 5.6 sec (Via Road and track at drag strip!.) This model DOES- NOT have a TURBO...But rather, a Naturally aspirated / because it is well known that TURBOS stress engines)...simply said: see euro cars shop time!....this car combines the Elec Batt and engine to achieve *89 miles per Gallon in Hybred mode with HIGH torq, And VERY quick out of the hole...Jus' blew the doors off a 735i beemer...albeit for only a block ...( I am no dummy a V* will eventually pass many cars in the long dist. (in all fairness)

who cares the thrill is initial take off and tickets are for high speed & SPEED...Kill's! My car has Red Calipers against Powder coated Gloss spoke Black mags and All red "F" Sport FAR better built than euro's (mine built in Japan) sadly, new releases are now being made in Canada! Like USA Union shops...no one gets fired for a hang over and bad work??? However, Lexus is Far more reliable...Far better Re-Sale that Euro beemers or mine has Gone UP in price...Not many cars you can find Like that!... IF YOU CAN FIND ONE ANYWHERE do grab (3) elec. motors gett'n 0 to 60 in 5.6 sec (road and track) HIGH torque QUICK out of do I use gett'n 43 miles per 120 Volt charge (real world driving my experience.) and NEVER USE GAS....and almost Silent operation in elec....So do your this is Far better than any European beemer or mercedes that are depreciating the moment you drive off the lot BIG TIME! And are un- reliable offering to say nothing of the GAS HOG unproven G 70, & RDX not worth mentioning. Z Best of the BEST F Sport 450h+ !

….One more thing, Jus' a heads wife drives the RX 2020 model...Consider putting Michelins on your NX 450h+ F and away EVEN a much smoother ride Much better ride than the HARD Run Flat Bridgestones that come stock. Carry a Batt. quality inflator ( DeWalt 20V MAX Corded/Cordless Air Inflator ) and string tar impregnated rope insert-er and Do-Not wait for AAA.

Grill is less annoying since other aspects of the front have been changed to be compatible with it. I don't pay much attention to the "spindle grill" on my car.

[husseinkarsh]

I am waiting for mine to arrive in July

[SoloTraveler]

Great review! Watched on two different computers and was blurry during the drive section. Definitely not an AOA standard. Now that they are toning the grill done a bit it is starting to look appealing

[neometero]

First was interested in the 350F, thought that turbo engine would be good, and the style is cool, but then the oil price started skyrocketing this year, now I think the 350h is a wiser choice.

[waynedanos]

Alex, What are your thought of the run flat tires. Are they noisy ? Is the ride good on bumpy roads? or do you need to get the fsport with adaptive dampers ? Thanks I enjoy your critique of cars.

[dans.]

Great review. I really want to get into a hybrid but I think I'm gonna wait for the new Lexus RX

[bluezklewz]

Curious why Alex doesn’t review Porsches. The Macan and Cayenne are quite popular and are competitors to BMW and Mercedes even if they are a bit more expensive
