5 Things We LOVE And HATE About The 2022 Lexus Lexus NX Hybrid - Test Drive Review 

Yeah, the 450h is very quick

It's smoother too!

@@carbuzzcom I think Gas models are smooth as well, but horrible gas mileage

Get the 450

What model did you get mate? (Mate is the only Australian I know LOL)

@@ZE4MC lol Got the NX350H F Sport with EP2

@@322dhillon Beautiful machine drive it in good health sir - Here in the states (Texas) we have 4-6 month waits for the 350h and 9-12 months for 450h (California, Illinois and New York get them first since they are "EV" states that heavily subsidize so they sell more. They are getting them in 2-3 months. I ordered the 350 h but the 450h is really here its at. Its got the speed, the 37 (30 in the real world) EV range and for me I am 25 miles from work so I could drive there- charge and drive back and pay only electricity. But we Americans dont like waiting- at least not a year. So I dont know about waiting til Q1 of next year... Oh well I lied- I know more Australian- AC/DC! Still love Bon Scott- a real rock and roller.

@@ZE4MC good on you mate! I wanted the 450h but I feel that the remote public charging stations are a still a work in progress. You can end driving to a country side with just one charger in the town and if it’s not your lucky day it might be out of service as well. I would always think twice before heading out on a road trip which is far out. Hence 350h. Best of both the worlds. Having said that, Tesla is selling like a hot rod here. Bob, always a legend!

As part of a package, yes

Yes, this is much quieter than a RAV4 Hybrid thanks to extra sound deadening.

It's not that different from other vehicles with that ability, and the video was already quite long.

"PANORAMIC VIEW MONITOR,* LANE CHANGE ASSIST,* FRONT CROSS-TRAFFIC ALERT* AND STEERING-WHEEL TOUCH SENSOR" it's a $1,070 standalone option. Premium gas is recommended but we've had engineers tell us it would be fine running regular.

Premium gas is required 93 + octane

@@luannweis1885 wrong 87 minimum as per owners manual

@@mikej238 You might want to rethink that if you want your engine to last. Lower octane fuel is combined with ethanol/ alcohol and you get water separation unless you use an additive.

@@Lifes_Frosting lol all fuel has ethanol unless you buy CLEAR gas which is hard to find and is 10% more in price compared to 87. Give it up, do your homework. Tell me why an NX250 has the exact same HP as a non hybrid Rav 4? EXACT SAME ENGINE. Only reason an NX350H has 20 more HP than a Rav 4 Hybrid is the front electric motor is 46kws bigger. EXACT SAME GAS 2.5L ENGINES

I had the 450h+ as a loaner for a day while my RX was being serviced. I enjoyed driving purely electric and the car accelerated surprisingly quick on the electric motor alone. I found it to be noisier than the RX though, even when in EV mode, as both tire and wind noise were more clearly audible. The suspension didn't give that "magic carpet" ride but because it was stiffer and the car is much lighter it went around corners a lot sharper. The infotainment system of the NX 450h+ was vastly superior though and the gap of several years was almost painfully obvious. For handling and fuel economy the NX 450h+ is the clear winner, but for long drives I still prefer my RX. Where the NX offers a lot of luxury, the RX surrounds you with opulence. It makes me very curious what the new RZ will be like.

@@JC130676 Thx for the feedback! For the next 3 years for sure, I plan to keep my 2022 ES300h. It has a driving range of 480 miles, is quiet and comfortable. I've grown used to the fact that the acceleration is kind of sluggish and a bit noisy...no big deal! :)

Premium recommended but ok to use 87 octane per user manual

How much did you pay out the door ? With taxes and fees ???

Watch Northside Lexus info on the nx350h. They give every detail and it is time stamped…

Over the air updates means there will eventually be some better usability as this will be the system for all future Lexus'

Soooooooooooo I have the 450h+ F Sport..and listened to both stock * 10 Spekers although the ML had a smidgen better highs...sadly most lost with road noise...unless you get the Elec QUIET drive elec to 47 miles...Extremely quiet... The ML is nice however the 10 speaker is a solid B in sound quality...please compare at dealer you will see TRULY not as much diff!

The hybrid is a HUGe difference

Easy no brainer for us

@@carbuzzcom Door handles and gear shifter brutal. 😞 🙈

@@billyrock8305 Yes got a little too fancy

Incorrect, 450 is better

@@aerohk Illogical.

I LOVE that the 450h+ F Sport is only sold (If YOU CAN EVEN FIND IT in California...& Must be a resident of CA) RESALE IS THROUGH THE ROOF econ 101!

I have a brand new 2023 NX 350 and there's an issue with the driver door sensor. When it works properly it's great. Unfortunately the more tech in a vehicle the more issues you can have. It shouldn't take 6 tries to open the door and exit your vehicle when there is nothing around it. Even the mechanical handle won't release the door. Hopefully it's an easy fix and not something I have to deal with much longer. I have to agree that the changes to the door handle are unnecessary.

In my NX which I've had for just 2 weeks the sensor isn't working correctly. It won't release on the first push then I have to pull it closed then push the button again. Sometimes it takes several tries. Wiped the sensors on the door and it seems to have helped but still won't release on the first try. It's not complicated when they work properly.

LUV LUV LUV the clean quiet EASY push Button doors...once you use you will NOT want any other!!@!

We just like crazy colors. Different strokes.

I have the cloudburst gray and it looks incredible!!

Yeah, the RAV4 looks great

@@carbuzzcom Puy the Rav4..........Not Quiet and MOST OF ALL NO " Heads Up Display"

This didn't have the V8....

Comfort is BETTER than the es if you have the Adaptive Suspension of the F Sport 450h+...I even put on Michelin tires...not running Run Flat...my car in comparison to the ES is Quieter / electric only and SMOOTHER riding!

@@donaldbanner2185 Really? Isn't the purpose of F-sport is to make you feel the road better/give better handling with a stiffer suspension?
