Thank you so much for doing this video! I actually love that you have real salespeople in these to go over the features, instead of watching just some youtuber. Cheers from Florida!

My sister was going to buy another RAV 4, then she drove my 2024 NX 350h, and now she has a beautiful 2025 NX hybrid!

The smile on her face while she was driving the whole time says it all 😄

The CarCareNut is an expert mechanic specializing in Toyota/Lexus. They share many platform similarities and Toyota quality is superb. However he states Lexus bumps quality up another notch. They have much superior insulation and ride dampening. Obviously the interior is more plush. But they often share much of the same drivetrains and engines as their Toyota counterpart, making servicing and long term maintenance simpler and cheaper than most luxury brands.
This vid is a good comparison of the interior, tech, and ride differences

I had a 2015 Rav 4. I had to get rid of it because of Pistons problems and I needed a new engine.
I do like the new Rav 4, however, it looks rather rugged to me .
So I decided on the NX350h because it is more luxurious, feels sporty, and personal. I made the best decision because I'm single, 60 and this will carry me throughout my retirement.

Great video! I love both, I had a RAV4 and I can say it’s a great car. But now I have a NX350H and of course the upgrade to luxury it’s just awesome. You can’t go wrong with any of these.

The NX looks nice but I rather save over $10k and get a spare tire and non run flat tires and also get a bigger SUV.
The RAV4 wins all around!!!!

We compared them both and bought a 2024 NX350h.

Proud owner of RAV 4, 2023 XLE here. Amazing SUV, we like it so much, strongly recommend vehicle 😊. P.S. you two should consider to make more videos like THIS is great segment and you are impressive together.

The interior of the NX is where it outshines the RAV4. You can’t get a 14” display and Mark Levinson speakers in a RAV4. NX has better color seats to choose from. More horsepower!

I have the NX and my mom has the Rav 4. Both luxurious, safe and fun to drive.

[jettajones]

for crying out loud, why is 2025 you need to clock a button to lock and unlock the door. This should be walk up and away feature

I had so much fun watching this video, more like this please!

Very interesting! My wife bought a 2022 RAV4 hybrid, and later in the year, I traded in my Toyota Avalon for an NX 350h (hybrid). We have a bit of a competitive attitude about our vehicles. The RAV4 does hold more cargo and gets slightly better mileage. (Both have excellent mileage.) Toyota's JBL stereo isn't that good. It's artificially "boomy" by exaggerating the entire bass range. The Mark Levinson stereo totally blows that away! Natural, dramatic, and vastly better low bass! (The more base model stereo available in both is really not very good.) I hate the run flat tires and lack of a spare on the NX, but I had Michelin CrossClimate tires put on right when I bought my NX, and bought an aftermarket spare. Lexus really sabotaged North American customers by making it impossible to put a spare under the cargo floor. (They actually make parts for holding a spare under the cargo floor for the European customers.) My last Toyota Avalon had the bird's-eye-view monitor and the heads-up display. The latter is even better in my Lexus. I will never buy another vehicle without that! I'm 67, so this may turn out to be my last vehicle purchase.

I have NX as a taxi here in Salo, Finland. I have teach customers, how to open the door. I taped green tape to the opening point. ”You just press that green button and open the door.” BUT, customers think, that you don’t have to PUSH that door at all! So, I have to tell them also: ”And push same time”.

[europec]

more states need to get rid of having the front plate requirement

[home-space]

AS a new rav4 limited owner, I find the auto head beams don't work very well, and they don't always detect oncoming drivers. But is a a very good vehicle that does what you expect.

[matty]

Excellent comparison review. I think you both need to fight it out with the Highlander and RX next!!

[TheFreshvybz]

Loved the reviews.
Hope you guys do something like this again.

I compared the NX PHEV and RAV4 Prime. I got the prime because of extra tow, higher clearance, use regular fuel, spare tire and much cheaper insurance. 😅
