Im just reseaching this. Perfect timing. LOVE the color

[rgrost]

I own a 2022 Highlander XSE which has a red leather interior very much like this Lexus. Beautiful!

Except you reviewed an NX350 AWD 2.4 liter 275 H.P. turbo engine-F Sport, not a hybrid. The hybrid NX350h AWD has a 2.5 liter naturally aspirated engine with two electric motors for 239/240 H.P. with an eCVT transmission.

Lauren, did I hear you say this was a Hybrid? I didn’t think the F sport came in a hybrid model.

[WOOF]

Great review as always. Do the run flat tires make the ride comfort firm and noisy? I'm almost ready to buy one, a 350. Thanks.

[davidparkin]

The rear wiper should be hidden integrated in the spoiler like a 4runner or Tahoe.

[hphillips]

So if you drive with one hand it will go into alarm?

[AeroDude]

Beautiful exterior but the crazy RED (??) interior clashes with it IMO 🤷‍♂️🤔🤦‍♂️. On a black or white (or Red) exterior, then it would look good.

[naveenthemachine]

Nope. The nx is still just a dressed up rav4

You can put all the Taylor swift lipstick you want on it. You can give the adaptive dampers 1000 different drive modes. And you can coat the drivetrain components in 24K gold and it’ll still drive just like a rav4. There’s just no way around this

Over-engineered. Too many bells and whistles. Distracting. It will take me about 1 year to learn all this technology.
