Is the 2023 Lexus NX 350 F Sport a better sport SUV to buy than an Acura RDX?

The NX received a full redesign from Lexus. With the F Sport you get a unique front frill, functional vents, unique wheels and painted wheel arches. On the inside there is a sport 2-tone interior, 14in infotainment screen, and digital gauge cluster. Under the hood is a 2.4L turbocharged inline-4 mated to an 8-speed automatic and power gets to the ground with AWD. Is the 2023 Lexus NX 350 F Sport a better sport SUV to buy than an Acura RDX?

Aside from that stellar-looking blue paint job, the black wheels with the color-keyed fender flares look just right. I'm so glad that they didn't go with the mat-black which is so common on other makes and models. I have to say that I've been really impressed with how this model has positively progressed since its debut a while back. However, I do agree about the odd decision to place that rear window wiper on the bottom rather than tucking it up underneath the spoiler. Frankly, I'd rather see the wiper completely gone as they did with the new RZ.

@matthewchau2481 Год назад

remote start is technically on the keyfob. Click the lock button 3 times and on the last one hold and it will auto-start.

Toyota and Lexus have a remote start option on vehicles equipped with it through the key fob using a series of key presses. Press the lock button three times in a methodical even pace. If done correctly, the lights will flash a few time along with a corresponding beep different from the door lock beep.
