I hated the track pad in my 1st month... after a month... i developed muscle memory... I could navigate the screens effortlessly--at most times, without looking at the screen. After 3 months, I prefer it over my Highlander's touch screen and my older RX350's joystick. It's just a matter of breaking old habits and adapting to the new.

What is a major flaw for me is.... there is no where to conveniently store my sun glasses....

Loved the way you talk
This is the second video I watched with you in it

So here in India, the car's a full Japan import. However, on the F-Sport variant we only get front seat heating & no cooling. To compensate we get a panoramic sunroof, the largest in a car I have ever seen! covers almost the length & breadth of the interior cabin seamlessly without any physical roof. The sad part is the pricing though...Just over 100, 000 USD for it.

Love it! Just need the Hybrid version for great mpg.

Interesting perspective on a new cuv to choose from...thanks

That removable pad in the centre console is a MIRROR, which should have been mentioned as a feature given the nature of these reviews. Answer cortesy of Google.

Great review! Keep up the good work, Lexus is one of the best, always quiet, refined and ultra reliable.

The 2018 model looks mor sportier at front bumper. The headlight follows the LC500. I almost bought NX but instead the RC350 caught my eyes and been almost my daily drive.

ps) for better rear visibility u can remove the Headrest on the back seats! (put them back on if need b)

[Darkender]

Wait wait wait, there is absolutely no way this competes with the Velar or the Q5... it's much smaller... and not in the same price bracket either. Not even close

(2.45) Saw a woman in a tight upmarket shopping centre subground carpark in a rich part of our most livable city with a Lexy SUV like you've been testing, and re the auto-hatch, said driver did big $$$ damage when it smashed into the roof. Schadenfreude? Well a little. I see that some recent 'cars' have adjustable rates & heights, & even hear that sensors can detect roofs or obstacles in order to obviate 'clangers' similar to that I've just described. Not sure if Toyo/Lexus have it yet, but if not, now pretty soon is my best bet.

Lexus IS not alone in having a restricted rear view out the back window in their suv. Maybe one day the manufacturers in general might replace the rear view mirror with a full time rear view camera.

Indicator switch on the right side makes a lot more sense with right hand drive.

I’ve owned a Lexus NX before and that thing you couldn’t move is actually a place to store your sunglasses...

[symmetry]

It is a little bit too pretty car for me ( man ) and needs more room overhead.

Vocal fry on a Brit Accent? Jeez I think I love it.

[kerem]

it's nice vehicle but I think that little overpriced. very reliable and comfy seats with nice exterior design but 48k for f sport nx ? limited rav4 is 34k so question is what's worth 14k in the car ?

[brucec]

Starts with a major class competitors error.

[lawrancelee]

Agree - there isn't a logical spot for a mobile phone.
