The NX is its segment leader, especially with the hybrid.
The plug-in brings some inconveniences, being closer to a BEV (the lack of reliability and the high TCO included).
Lexus is #1 in reliability, #3 in low TCO (Total Cost of Ownership), longevity etc. thus also a resale value champion.
Btw, the electric clunkers are the LEAST RELIABLE cars according to Consumer Reports annual reliability survey and with the highest TCO (huge when you also change the battery), while the hybrids are the MOST RELIABLE cars and having the lowest TCO - I can give a minor confirmation on this: I have a Lexus hybrid and I had 0 issues (not even recalls) in 5 years and a surprisingly low TCO (despite applying an excessive maintenance, changing the oil/filter every 5k miles etc.).

Yes. That’s one of the most popular SUVs that’s being shipped to Africa from Canada.

I purchased a 2025 Lexus NX 350 F this week. I am still learning how to control the 9.8” screen and agree once the run flat tires need replacing I’m putting regular tires. I love the way it handles, the distance control, the great seats and the beauty. It’s a show stopper. Blacked out tires, ultra-white that glistens with black rear view mirrors. The heads-up display is amazing. It takes some time to learn all it has to offer but I purchased at a great dealership who is tutoring me.

I have a 2024 nx350h absolutely love it!! the run flat aren’t bad but at replacement time I’ll get regular tires. You will absolutely love this car!

I just bought one (NX 350h) two weeks ago! I love it!

Great review and great dialogue on the NX vs. RX and comps to the other luxury brands. Well done.

[coolsand]

Thanks !! Nice summary.
Do you plan to do one for RX too?

[thriver]

Excellent review and I think you are totally correct, the NX350H luxury edition is a great fit and good value when you consider fuel economy and maintenance costs.

[MzKolaPop]

Your review has come just in time. I have been trying to choose between the NX and RX350. I do need the extra interior and cabin space and I also don't want the run flat tires. So it sounds like my decision would be the RX350. Now I'm okay with regular RX350 but I'd consider the RX 350h. Not interested in the plugin. Thanks for your review!!

Thanks for the informative video. I purchased the plug-in hybrid version, which is incredibly reliable and highly recommended.

[stephencampbell]

Thanks for all the reviews and videos.

I'm at the beginning of the replacement process, and considering 2025 hybrid RAV4, NX350h, UX300h and CR-V. Is it just me? I can get into a CR-V, RAV4 and UX300h no problem, but keep bumping my head on the door frame getting into the NX350h. I admit I have mobility issues, but wonder whether there was some seat configuration thing with the showroom model. Am I crazy? Otherwise the NX really appeals.

I also look forward to trying to get into the Crown Signia - I have had a big towing dilemma since I want a smaller hybrid vehicle for fuel economy, yet want to tow a 2000lb trailer from time to time. Had been planning to sell the trailer, but the Signia may delay that need.

I just got a 2025 to replace a 2022 nx 350h. The suspension is better and not as soft, the brakes are better and the wireless charger works. So happy with the improvements

[altamashkhan]

Hi brother! Liked your video... please suggest some NA reliable suv 5 seater brands .

[mikej]

Absolutely no reason to put premium in the hybrid . Same engine as a Rav 4 hybrid.
Only difference between the two is the NX350H as a larger electric motor than the Rav 4..fuel has no effect on it.

[joblackthorne]

Thanks for the review honestly. Your video ruled out the 350h for me. I hate the stiff ride of run flat tires and the truck is not high enough.

[VBinNV]

Thank you. I'm first on the list for a Signia (will only get the saddle tan interior under bronze/blue/white) but have debating it vs the NX-h. NX seem a bit more refined but I don't like its face and the Lexus dealership here isn't the greatest. Can't wait to test-drive a Siggie and will decide then to either buy it or keep my beloved Mazda3 (6mt) sedan.

[AMentality]

NX 350h sounds pretty good. I might get it in December. Thanks for the video.

[donaldbanner]

Thank you for your Honest / Intelligent review!....You lost me however, at the end with your saying the Toyota Crown is close to the Lexus...The Infotainment 14" screen at an angle twd driver and the HUD Heads up addition to the interior seats mine are Circut Red w/ black inserts, very sporty on the 450h+ "F" Sport The Crown Jus' looks cheap IMO! My 450h+ "F" Sport has "Adaptive Suspension" (gets tighter on curves and much softer on and rides even better than my wife's RX 450h++++ the Gucci / Luxury of Badging Lexus, vs Toyota all make the LEXUS hands Down the better choice.

[jackibagbaga]

I have a question about the adaptive driving? I have a 2024 luxury nx350h, almost 1 year old with 5300 miles. My question: when in adaptive driving at highway speed of 60 or more mph; when at a curve part of the highway the car didn’t slow down, should it slow down to a safe a speed to avoid accident.

[islanddon]

I would take the regular hybrid. But l still prefer the UX250h. We dont need a big spacious car. But if we did, the car reviewed would get our first test drive.
Good review.
