The 2024 Lexus NX 450h+ Looks Like a Smash Hit! ...But Is It Worth The High Price Tag? 

My parents got one of these recently. It is an amazing car. They were originally looking for the Rav4 Prime but the ridiculous Toyota dealership markups at the time brought it up to essentially the same price as the NX 450h+. In their use case, they barely use gas at all. What people don't think about is the service experience with Lexus is GALAXIES better than your typical Toyota dealer.

You forgot to mention that in Colorado (where you are filming) there are $12,850 in incentives that end up reducing the price to around the non-plugin hybrid. I taught my son in that very parking lot (in your video) how to drive.

Nathan, Really appreciate your attention to tech in the reviews you do. Look forward to hearing your input about more apple integration into some car brands while others (GM) are talking about abandoning it completely.

I have a 2022 version of this car and I'm loving it every day. The 350h handles differently and for my usage, I only fill up gas every 3 months. A fully loaded NX350h in Canada vs a NX450h+ fully loaded is not that big of a difference especially when you get $5000 federal rebate. If you live in a province where there is a rebate, it may end up being cheaper than the 350h fully loaded. The only thing is... can you get one.

Awesome, doesn't get any better than this!

The prime will have a dealer markup putting it within $5k of the NX which will sell at MSRP or below. The was the case for us anyway in NJ. We went looking for a highlander and ended up with an RX350. It was cheaper.

2025 NX450h+ does have panoramic sun roof.

I got a 2025 nx450+ .. drove 9000km so far and spent 100$ in gas. Lv mine

Shame you don't have the Red interior with the Blue exterior... That is the correct combination, not Blue on Black.

What happen to the volt yes volt. No plug in ..?. ? ??.😊😮😮😢

you can get the pano sunroof on the normal hybrid, and not the plugin hybrid. Part of why we decided on the normal hybrid.

i am a fellow big man myself how does it fit for you ? is it comfrotable ?

In Canada the NX450H f sport 3 2025 is priced at 80K CAD minus 10K grants. Plus delivery is ranged between 5 months to a year. Provincial grants will slowly disappear. Yes you save gas, but economically speaking you start to c the benefits above 4-5 years of no gasing as frequently. On the other side it’s true that NX350H is 10-15k less expensive than the 450h, but there are no grants, you have to take the premium package. Sincerely, if you’re gonna get a lexus you don’t really settle for tier 1 out of 5 trim. I would take luxury, but then the price would be similar to the nx450h f sport 3 anyway. Nx premium and rav 4 prime have a waiting list of 2-3 years so that’s a turn off. If you take a plug in it all comes to how much distance.

450h+ guarantees a Japan build... Nearly every other NX is made in Canada

Cool CUV!

Dear Nathan. I think the pricing-system for new cars in the US give more fair car prices than we have in Norway. Of course we must take responsibility for emissions in the environment, but in Norway the politicans have made it too good buying and driving electric cars, but the big bommer is that they think all commercial working trucks also is covered by electric drivetrains, but this is absolutely not true here by us. And 6 months ago the Toyota Rav4 phev like the Lexus in testing had a cost equivalent with aprox 75.000 USD and will increase significantly in 2025. From 2025 some politicans would ban everything else than evs, and told that all sorts of transport needs were well covered with evs both as passenger cars and commercial cars. Yes thats right as passenger cars, and local van transport, but if you are towing a small trailer a longer distance a phev should be fine, but not here. Thanks Nathan.

Never understand why they charge 3x more per kW than Goal Zero.

I’d buy a Mazda instead and save $25k in the process, getting same quality and reliability. And it is Made in Japan too.

Terrible review. Nothing technical been explained. It’s clearly the Reviewer barely has any knowledge about this car, or cars in general.

Why promote? Almost impossible to buy, Years of waiting if you place an order!

Only 300 horsepower, no fast charging, and $66.5 thousand dollar 😕..... That's ridiculous

customers want reliability ! 10 years service no problems.

What a horrendously overpriced vehicle.

Its more than 70k out the door for a small car. Who can pay 70k for a car is not trying to save. That too its a 4 cylinder cvt.Good luck.

Looks like a Toyota Venza Hybrid with plug in tech.

For 2025, panoramic sunroof and Mark Levinson are finally availabe for NX450h+... But heated/power rear seats are still off the menu, it seems

Will sell like absolute hotcakes

Nathan’s “Yugo” shirt is cool.😎

RAV4 prime with some makeup on?

Isn't worth 60 thousand dollars. Keep your vehicle long enough, you'll be replacing the battery at some time draining any fuel savings away.

Cool but way too expensive. The entire car market has gone insane.

$60k for a Lexus Hybrid that has less room in it than our 2013 Ford Escape? Less room than my 2006 Scion XB. The name does nothing. Plug in Hybrids are a waste of money. You have 2x the amount of what could go wrong. 2 power trains? And a battery on top of that. Nope. Either go ICE or EV. Don't waste you money on a plug in hybrid. It's all about Fun and simplicity in A to B is how I look at it. My 2006 Scion XB 4.0 Edition will never grow old and you can not get any more simpler then the first gen XB. Fun video though. Thanks TFL!

66.5k!! I can buy a Tesla model Y Performance for 52k minus 7500. I don't like this nicer interior car to pay 22k more. 22k!!!

We need a Lexus 350h with 275-300 hp and at least 40 mpg. Under 6 seconds 0-60mph too

I'd rather get the 2.4 turbo F sport.

60k are they crazy

I will stick with GM's automotive. GODEST MOTORS. 😮😅😊😊

.............................This guy is BIAs because he is BIG Time Porky and the seats are GREAT tight bucket form fitting!

And, it's just like being married 🤣🤣🤣

If you utilize the EV capacity every day and save 1 gallon of gas, and do it 5 days a week, you could save as much as 150 gallons of gas a year. Where I live, that’s about $500. That’s nice, but it won’t pay for the plug in hybrid technology. Plug in hybrids don’t make financial sense.

You have to be high or demented to pay 66k for a rav 4. No pano sunroof? No rear heated seats? This is ridiculous

Buy one used

Not appealing

Once the Crown Signia is out, NX is going to have a hard time selling. I personally never liked Nx or even the Rx due to their weird design choice. Nx is just a Rav4 in fancy clothes

Lexus quality & dependability at a costly premium. Save thousands of dollars - buy am Acura RDX and find another way to be an environmentalist.

the normal hybrid is the one to get.

not having the option to upgrade to Mark Levinson audio is a joke

Please go seek a mental health professional if you're paying over 60k for a compact crossover.

Same vehicle as a RAV4 Prime. Save $$$ and get the RAV4.

I own it. It's not worth it for thar price.

Nope. The nx is among the worst compact cuvs in the class

doomed company as it stands....

in Canada the plug in NX starts at $63330 and tops out at $80605

Worth every penny. Buy CPO. These things aren’t crazy popular in my area and the prices reflect that.

No way I pay that kind of money 💰 for that vehicle. I’d rather go strictly hybrid.That price is insane.

At these prices, anyone else feel like burning some v8 gas in a wonderfully preserved 10 or so year old GX or LX?

It’s a no for me Dog.

Great review as usual, Nathan. The design language of Lexus has improved over the last few years. Considering the usual availability of the Prime, a few luxury minded drivers may buy 450h just for that reason. - Is it worth 10k more than a RAV4 Prime? To some, the Lexus nameplate says it all.
