SIBLING SHOWDOWN! -- 2023 Lexus RX 350 vs. 2024 Lexus NX 350: Comparison 

i own a nx350h and during a service they lent me an rx350 and to tell you the truth the only thing i liked more about the rx was the extra few inches of space and the slight bit quieter. Everything else felt identical from the technology to the steering feel and acceleration. I actually prefer my nx more because the size makes the vehicle feel more tossable when making quick lane changes and going on and off the ramps. The spare tire isn't a deal breaker for me as I drive locally so even getting a flat tire isn't a big deal as the tow companies are minutes away. I however changed the tires last season to non rfts whixh was the best decision i've made after buying this vehicle. Let alone the value you get. I was able to throw an extra package with more features for the same price as the rx that doesn't even have those comforts as the one I drove for my rental. Sorry for the long read but I hope someone finds this useful if they are stuck between the two and need a real owner perspective.

For me….I would go with the NX

What you forgot to mention, the RX has a real spare tires and run on normal tires. The NX runs on run flat and has no spare tires except for the base model. This is a major concern not having a spare tire for me!

I theak the RX is a better deal. For an extra $7000 you get a bigger, smoother and more comfortable SUV.

This was a great comparison, I prefer the NX personally!😸

I’m in love with both of these models❤❤😍🔥

I've lusted after the RX since they were first introduced, but given that the NX offers just about everything the RX does, including passenger and cargo room, I would be tempted to go save a few bucks and go for the NX. The plug-in hybrid version will definitely be on my short list for my next vehicle.

I see numbers you've shown, but still when I got inside both cars at my dealership I felt like RX was noticeably more spacious, especially for back row and with back seats fully declined. The only issue I had was the back row headroom in the RX with panoramic roof (I am quite tall) - but it's not the case if you decline your seat. I also love semi-aniline leather which is available only for Omotenashi trim of the RX I believe (at least here in Poland).

Nice video, glad you cleared up you guys are brothers.

The concluding section of the video was well done, I feel like some points from my personal experience owning an RX and having an NX for a few months might be helpful to anyone reading. I've borrowed my brother's NX450h+ for a few months and I had issues with the roof clearance hitting my head on bumps while trying to get the maximum visibility from the driver side seat. I'm only 5'7. In my RX I literally don't have that issue despite being on the highest vertical setting with any degree forward or back. I have tried the forward passenger seat on both cars and I felt my RX felt like so much more of a pleasant experience. They really are almost identical performance wise; however, the Radiant Crossover is a much more serene experience, especially behind the wheel, than the Nimble Crossover. It's really about the feeling of gliding with comfort and luxury that defines the RX, while the NX is more there to provide the same performance rather than the feel. It's more about the craftsmanship that separates the two models.

I just bought the NX 350h Luxury. Thank you for helping me make my decision.

Very nice and informative video. I cannot decided between an RX and NX.

Brilliant review. A comparison between the two 350 hybrids would be great too

I currently have an 2020 NX 300 with very low miles (12,000) which I will be selling to get the NX 350 2024. I love the NX!

You guys are the best

Thank you I didn’t realize the NX was similar in size... Now I’m more torn than ever Good job guys! With appreciation, Me

I have a 2015 NX 200T FSport and it rides smooth. I love it❤

I’m not going to lie. Both of these vehicles are not that big in person. I believe the length are about the size of a regular midsize sedan.🤷🏽‍♂️

What about the passenger seat? Is it comfortable. I have a lot of trouble with the passenger seat. In a lot of cars.

Don't buy any new Lexus unless the Dealer can supply 2 keys at purchase. Chip shortage forces them to give only 1 key at purchase with promise to give a second one later. Dealing with that now and the process is a shitshow. Waste of time bounced around the dealer form2 weeks now trying to get second key.

I bought an 2024 NX350H because the RX350H was at least $12K more. 😊

I am RX all the way. Better in comfort also little wider on the interior and exterior. The $6700.00 in savings will start to diminish once you have to replace the run flats on the NX. Also noise level on those run flats. Nicer wheels and real tires with a spare tire to boot for the RX. I also prefer the new grill on the RX. The NX grill is starting to look outdated. The NX looks very narrow both interior and exterior. My choice though will be the RX350H. Can you do a new video with the hybrid comparisons?

I have both: 21 RX 350 and 24 NX 350, in regards to driving experience, NX is smoother and with nicer interior design

is there any difference for the fuel consumption between the RX 350 sport and the RX 350 hybrid , can some one answer me please ?

Aside from size, they really don’t differ all that much now as they both ride on the same TNGA-K platform now. The older generation used to be using two different platforms.

It’s funny Lexus keeps coming up with new models, but I can’t find any at the local dealers 😂😂 Maybe just maybe concentrate on building more cars!!!

Does anyone notice Rough shifting on the NX 350? Having to shift 2 or 3 times To go forward or reverse

They are so close But I love that the rx have a spare and the nx have run flat

Both reliable and luxury, but If you want more room you should pick RX

Why did you award a half point for 21 inch rims over 20s. I have sold tires and rims for 5 years and 21s should loose you a point vs 20s. Tough to find 21s and super expensive

They should have kept v6 option as well

Great comparison. I would never get the hybrid because I hate CVT. That being said, I miss the naturally aspirated 6 cylinder engine. Will have to get used to the 4 cylinder turbo. Not sure gas mileage is that much better.

Was trying to decide ended up buying the NX F Sport It’s a good size for me coming from a Jeep so I am happy and I was able to get all the options with the lower priced base model

Test drove both back to back. Money not an issue. NX looked better to my wife and I. RX looked like a bloated version and NX like an athletic version. NX more nimble, better in parking lots. Space is so close we didn't notice. RX did have leg extension front seats we liked but couldn't get over the look of our bright red NX luxury package we ended up with. Also tested a loaded Rav4 and NX is soooooo much better hard to believe based on same platform

I just bought a 2024 NX350 Fsport for my wife we traded our 2016 RX350. The MSRP was 51.800 a RX 350 F sport was 10k more for the same package.

Rx for me

I think some of it boils down to the looks of these two vehicles. The NX exterior is sportier than the RX, but the RX interior is a little nicer. I don't think it's fair though to use the F-Sport when comparing to the RX in the comfort category since the F-Sport's ride is a little firmer.

NX is my pick in 350h or 450h+ 🎉

I own the RX (loaded). I've looked the NX over and it just looks 'cheaper', small, and less elegant. I'm not looking for a sporty ride. I want comfort and luxury. I especially do not like the small turbo engine. It just means higher maintenance and repairs or outright failure down the road. The V6 is much better for luxury Lexus cars.

Lack of spare tire in the NX is a deal breaker for me

How are the passenger seat adjustments in the NX, does it have adjustable lumbar support?

The RX is strangely mine, it's a little bigger and makes it a little better in my mind. Also the luxury style that comes with this coool SUV

The Lexus US site states that the RX has a larger boot than the NX; yet according to reviews in the UK the RX actually has the smaller boot. Can someone please explain this?

I just bought the NX. I live in a city. I wanted a smaller size to zip around

I own a 2023 NX450h+ Luxury, and I had an RX-350 given as a loaner. It was nice, but I truly missed my NX. I would not buy an RX. Also, be honest, the NX has run-flat tires which are louder than the tires on the RX which does have a spare. The NX is an amazing vehicle!

I would pick the Lexus NX, I like the red seats

but would you take the NX350H or the RX350?

NX350 is my pick. If I'd go RX, it would be RX500h.

I love the shape of RX but doesn’t justify the difference of nearly 60000 AED (nearly 20K CAD). So, Gopi mg for NX.

I feel like the RX will be obsolete once the TX rolls out. The TX does everyone better than the RX with more cargo room, passenger space, power engine, and similar mpg due to hybrid. The NX will be more suitable for people looking for a vehicle in that segment and is more affordable than the RX.

Generally, the reason to step up to the RX was a more powerful and smoother V6 drivetrain. With all Lexus SUVs essentially now coming with the same drivetrain, I have a hard time understanding why anyone would buy an RX. Seems now, you either buy the NX, or the TX if you need the third row, and the RX is left out there floating in no man's land.

will go with NX coz there is nothing much we see like wow. its almost similar

Windows seem smaller on NX especially on side windows.

I’ll get the NX due to the price.

which one would win in a race?

I'm confused as to why both have almost identical interior dimensions, as the RX is literally 10 inches longer

In my country, a fully specced RX350h is around $30,000 more expensive than a fully specced NX350h. Do you guys think that it's worth getting the Rx over the NX? ✌🏻

Good cars

............................. HELLO! wich platform LQQK's more aggressive and sporty...& coupled with the Dark Red with black inserts Circut Red interior......For me the Large Gloss Black functional air intakes on the fascia represents a power yet refined LQQK. But Hey hats Jus' me!

NX grill looks better

I will go for the nx

RX for me. Great comparison guys..

The RX would likely be even quieter if had the regular 19 wheels.

For the money I would rather have a GV 70 with the Prestige package and the turbo v-6.

I’ll take the NX. ❤️🥰

NX has better grill design

The RX❤❤❤❤❤

Quieter, smoother rde: RX✅

I would go for nx

Both lose 4 points for the tiny brake lights.

I would go for the Nx 350H. It is a little smaller and easier to get around town and park. And, wouldn't buy a ice vehicle. With hybrids and EV's and all the new and continuing development there, ice just seems like an century old technology that is not healthy.

The RX so overdone by now, in my opinion. Ya gots the money, and your not quite in wealthy luxury territory, and you don't know dit about vehicles, you grab the RX for the comfort and driving size. But to me, most with any practical understanding would know they could keep their NX for 10 years, and you don't feel like you're driving and parking kind of a bulky monster (Nissan Murano, anyone?) in and around your city & suburbs.

My wife got the nx which i love, the only down side for me is the engine for what it is rated at, i find it to be very lazy....

You forgot to talk about anything important about these cars.

NX350h

Heard there are major issues with the RX 500H tranny . So much for quality

nx doesn't have spare tire

NX 350 the best for young children

literally the same car 🤣🤣

Rx for 7000 morre?it is good deal

The RX is growing fatter and heavier every redesign.

RX all the way!

Rx

Run flat tires on the NX is a deal breaker

NEVER

I like Lexus but it’s too old fashioned for me. Like it’s for old people not a hot young bootylicious thang like me! Get me that Bimmer or Mercedes and you might be lucky to get a bite of this donk!!!

Neither of them in general as both are just dressed up rav4s

The RX is ugly. Also Lexus should lose the tail light from side to side. It would look better.
