The interior door handles are made electronically to prevent opening them while a car or a pedestrian or bicyclist passing close to the car. It uses the blind spot monitoring system and remains activated for 3 minutes after turning off the car.
Fascinating!
Thank you for explaining this.
As a cyclist I approve of this feature.
Woah, that's pretty cool. Never heard of that in a car before.
Very interesting concept. I’d assume this is the first car with such a feature available.
Small correction: there is Lane Changing Assist on certain trims. Depends on the trim level.
It is actually standard on all trims with the new Lexus Safety System 3.0+. Toyota/Lexus have been making lane keeping assist standard on pretty much all models for many years now. It’s just been upgraded for new 2022 Lexus models
@@MattCC16Gaming why doesn't this one have the LSS 3.0+? i have a guess, but, you seem to know more about this kinda thing.
@@strider_hiryu850 it must have it because Doug demonstrated the lane centering assist, which is part of the system. Toyota Safety Sense and Lexus Safety Systems have been standard for years. Lexus’s own site says it’s standard for 2022. So must be a misconception
@@MattCC16Gaming he may not checked that
Yes. Lane changing assist comes with the non f sport luxury package
Lane keep assist and lane tracing those are standard on all nx models

Honestly Doug Demuro's videos need timestamps. Thks though
@@mclarenspeedtail8988 Doug doesn't seem to like Lexus anymore.
@@dragospahontu who's g?
So silly to timestamp these . His videos are entertaining in their entirety. It’s like time stamping mission impossible or under the bridge….doesn’t make sense.
@@teaboone 92 (and counting) people disagree with you. Far from a majority of the 14,000+ people who have viewed the vehicle so far - but still, apparently, useful - or at least appreciated by some. And it did not cost YOU anything for the person to post the thing. Rather than waste time complaining about it, lol, why not report some of the many pornography spam posts? Before you suggest that I could have done that very thing instead of posting this message... I have done both ;-). However, more reports will get a post examined quicker.
The other day in the LX600 vid I was like “I hope Doug reviews a less overkill Lexus SUV like the RX or something similar”. This is perfect
Bless your heart
Me too
Doug never disappoints. A few days before he posted his review of the Toyota sera, I said he should review one. A couple days ago I was telling my history teacher that Volkswagen would never actually bring the bus back. A couple days later he posts his review of the id buzz concept. It’s creepy how this stuff happens
I like the very honest disclaimer on Doug’s part where he fully recognizes his namesake score is biased towards high performance cars, but almost completely ignores reliability, durability and resale value! Also, given that he’s just purchased a TOYOTA Land Cruiser to haul his family safely and in STYLE speaks volumes about where his true priorities lie!
You also forgot to mention the safety reason for the electronic door handles: it uses the Blindspot monitoring system and will stop you from opening the door into the path of a car or cyclist!
I was waiting for him to say that but I guess he didn’t do much research on the vehicle
@@gta_3714 He’s constantly reviewing cars. Give him a break.
@@gta_3714 Yeah, Doug's been juggling too many balls for a while now, no research beforehand anymore. 😕
@@nothere572 If he’s gonna do it do it right
@@geertromain well said .he did this on the lx600 as well.lx had every feature he complained not available but due to supply issues in some models those are removed from the front
The good 360 degree camera angle shows up when you’re in drive or reverse and its better than the bubble camera angle. I think Doug doesn’t know this.
u don’t think he reversed the car…?
it's ok , I have friend who has 1Mil + sub but he's dumb AF in real life lol. no one knows everything tho
@@scoot5642 obviously, not or he didn't look at the 360 camera while doing it.
Doug is the type of guy to wear a shirt that says "I potato Idaho" on it while reviewing a small crossover.
True
Love the door handles. Perfect for northeast winters... No more frozen door handles. All car makers should copy this. Or add door handle defrost system ☺️
Yeah, the hatch on my mother's Focus has one of those buttons instead of a traditional opener device. And that's fine, for her, because the actual door handles are mechanical. However, I wonder how the owner of this vehicle is expected to get inside if/when his/her battery dies. Doug pointed out that there is still a mechanical alternative *inside*, but that doesn't do anything for the majority of dead battery situations, when the battery is dead before the person even gets into the vehicle. I assume that there is no easy way to get the hood open, that feature having disappeared 42 years ago.
EDIT: I do like the concept; I just think that there should always be a mechanical way to get inside a vehicle. Also, I like your "...add door handle defrost system" idea. I do not know that it's feasible, but I like it. They've already been doing heated mirrors for years. Some vehicles also have shutters/slats in front of the radiator that open/close according to ambient temperature and the temperature of the coolant, to facilitate a quicker engine warm-up during Winter, either standard or as part of a "cold weather package," so - again, if feasible - that would probably be a good thing to have on vehicles located in regions of the world that experience cold weather.
I do wonder also about getting IN with a dead battery.You can't open the hood to charge without getting Into a vehicle anymore.I like the idea of 'handle-warmers',but that goes to that point again.
@@wesgregg6451 with a physical popout key in the remote, I presume? a lock maybe hidden somewhere behind or under the handle.
@@zee9276 Yes. I was curious, so I just had a look through the owner's manual. There is a rather comprehensive section about the key fobs (2), key card (1), electronic locks, cell phone control app, et cetera - that doesn't mention how to get in if/when the usual methods fail. But it does say that there is a mechanical key in each fob and the key card. I looked in the index, and found out where in the manual to find the information. The external mechanical door openers may be enabled by manually unlocking the doors... or by involving the vehicle in a severe frontal or rear-end collision (which could be a lifesaver). The person needs to use the corner of a credit card, knife blade, et cetera to pry the little cover off of the door handle (it's where one's thumb would naturally touch when grasping the handle), insert one of the physical keys into the keyhole, and turn it. Then, pull on the door handle, apparently.
That's actually a better setup than some newer vehicles which hide the keyhole on the bottom of the door or directly below it on the underside of the vehicle.
EDIT: Incidentally, the owner's manual warned that, if one of the key fobs or the key card was in range of the vehicle, and a door handle was splashed with "a significant quantity" of water, lol, it would cause the doors to unlock. Technology: rolleyes: . . . .
What happens two years later when it breaks? $2000.00 dollar fix at the stealership.
This car actually is the only one that has the electronic door release done right. All other cars have some button somewhere usually above the handle. But the door release button in this NX is exactly under your thumb when you grab the handle. It means that you can unlock and open the door with just one motion. Just grab and push. Unlike other cars, where you unlock the button, push the door with your elbow and then open it with your hand. I have not seen any other car with electronic door release buttun, that actually makes sense.
Doug is still in awe of center consoles that open in 2 directions. Magic
My old 2006 RL did that
But does it open from the back 👀
I drive a 2016 NX 200t, and it has one of the strangest quirks I have ever seen: a GPS-programmed imaginary clock.
There's no digital clock, only an analog clock. I looked through every option in the infotainment screen and gauge cluster, and nothing. Yet, when you cross time zones, the infotainment screen will alert you to the fact that you entered a new time zone and ask if you'd like to switch the clock over. If you press yes, absolutely nothing happens. There is no digital clock for it to change, and the analog clock still needs to be manually adjusted.
Digital clocks didn't exist in the 2016
I have the 2021 model. I went on a 150-mile freeway driving road trip. Averaged 41 MPG.
Which engine?
@@user-mv1nz3hs8p Hybrid
so the Hybrid means you could still get gas right ?
@@sunnyboy8644 Yes
I drive a Gen 1 NX300H AWD and love it for a few reasons. It is supremely reliable and very comfortable for long drives. I also have Method wheels and Falken wildpeak tires on it and drive it offroad often. It is really fun to rip around on trails and floats over bumps like a rally car when at speed. It’s a very versatile and quality vehicle that will last a long long time with one major downside and that’s the engine drone with the hybrid drivetrain and cvt transmission. I plan to seriously consider this new model simply for the tech upgrades which are top of the class.
its a Toyota Rav4 underneath. It will be dead on reliable.
As a Lexus employee it has been very nice to see reviews of all the new cars that have rolled out and seeing if I agree!!
I was torn with buying this car and the RX. However I needed a vehicle pretty soon and the hybrid NX was not gonna be available for a while and the difference between the NX gas with first tier package versus RX abase was only like 2k. Ended up getting RX and what pushed over the line for RX was the Navy blue exterior and caramel interior whereas NX only white exterior and red/black interior was only available.
RX is really good?
Why would you want an ugly brown interior?
@@beastabuelos6421 what may be ugly to you, may be nice to someone else.
@@beastabuelos6421
Brown (including tan) is the best interior color by far, looks better than black and doesn't show dirt like grey or white seats do.
@@talharoxen
The RX may not be an enthusiast driver's car but they sell loads of them for a reason, they're very good.
I remember a lot of flak on the last N saying it was too average and just under every other competitor, midway through the video but glad to hear that Lexus took that feedback and learned from it. Beautiful so far.
I see the design hasn't changed much on the outside but the interior looks pretty good now
less lines. smoother, cleaner surfaces. they also cleaned up the front and back design. honestly, i think it looks better than the BMW and Mercedes competition. and i know Doug complained about the Spindle grill but i think car journalists signed a pact or something to always throw shade at the grill design. i think that's why Lexus hasn't changed, and good for them because it's distinctive and i like it actually. you will notice car journalists will say something like "normally i think the current Lexus grill design is ugly, but on this car it works alright enough." or something like that. but see, it wasn't a true compliment.
i know the real reason is that journalists don't want to come off as biased. but bias works in both directions. in this case, it's bias against Lexus' front end design philosophy. speaking of which: you'll notice Lexus integrated the Checkmark running lights in with the headlight housing. which i think compliments the redesign quite well actually.
but i think that's all. thanks for reading!
@@strider_hiryu850 agreed
The wireless charging pad doesn't need to look good because it can retract inside the dashboard to reveal a storage space and I think you forgot to mention that.
Yes although I find its connectivity quite poor for a larger phone like the Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra which has a tendency to disconnect. I have to position it precisely with the top of the phone facing right and hope it doesn't slide around the pad during charging.
This will be an awesome value in 5 years
Other than the Audi models this is the car I'd go for overall and it's probably the best in many aspects including of course reliability.
Just got the base 250 Model at $40k and it’s actually surprisingly decent. Heated seats is a standard, blind spot monitoring, lane keep assist. Only caveat, no rear sensors when backing up
Ux looks much better
@@josetranquelo7145 Yea I got the base UX at 33K instead of the base NX because of looks and they are equally as fast. NX is snazzy though with the tech
@@josetranquelo7145 looks better ux250h but very small and 59 less hp with the same gas Mpg as NX350H
How's the ride quality? Comfy or too sporty harsh suspension?
No reverse sensors?
Doug,
A couple suggestions from a long-time viewer here:
1. It was better when you took us through each item of the Doug Score. Just showing the summary without any reasoning pretty much renders the system useless.
2. The screenshots of the scores at the end compare models that are way too similar. These comparisons could be more insightful if you broadened the field and threw in some wildcards.
3. Your best videos aren’t of the weirdest or rarest cars, but rather of cars we THOUGHT we knew but didn’t, that you provide us a fresh perspective on. They’re the videos where the *sum* of the quirks is greater than any of the quirks themselves.
I’ve been driving this 2022 NX as a loaner while my ES 350 is at the dealership. It’s an amazing car. I love it!
8:40 - Doug! If you hit that button while shifted in drive, it shows a lot more - it’s almost useless while in park
My neighbors have one and it’s really gorgeous! I can’t wait for them to update the interior for the rest of the line up!
I saw one of these on the road a couple days ago. Looks pretty good for a compact crossover, which I haven’t said about any of them except for the CX-5 and the new Tuscon
I don’t think the CX-5 is a crossover more like an suv the CX-30 is a crossover
@@enriquealomia6399 I think the CX-9 is a full-on SUV. The CX-5 is somewhat of a mix between an SUV and a crossover
I bought Lexus and I am really proud of this decision. First its Luxury and second thing is Toyota reliability and they can look after it without paying like owning Mercedes.
The NX is Lexus’s most technologically advanced vehicle so far. I’ve always complained about their tech being years behind everyone else. They’re finally caught up.
No they haven’t 😂. Other rivals have better tech. X3 GLC XC60 GV70. All are way better with less gimmicks
@@naveenthemachine hey .lord of the fools the Vigilante 🥋🛡️😂
@@naveenthemachine Gay
No, they haven't. 😂
Dull fact: Lexus released the new NX here in Japan a while ago but does very little or no promotion, due to the extremely long waiting time. You order it today and will likely be delivered on 2024. Yes you read it right, 2024.
Thats the situation for almost all cars pretty much everywhere in the world
Doug, could you please review the biggest Japanese rival of the BMW E46, the Lexus IS 300? I'm surprised you still haven't made a video of this legendary JDM car
I gotta say Doug. I absolutely Love your videos! I find myself watching and enjoying your Videos, knowing that I don't want the cars. Very entertaining!! Thank You!!
Thats gay af
I also agree!
I love the bold design and new touchscreen infotainment on this little Lexus crossover such a looker 🥰🤙🏾
Side note to the folks who are such haters we all have are own opinions as car enthusiasts. You can like or not like whatever you want in the plentiful world of bland crossovers this is a bold decent looking offering from Lexus. I like it Doug likes it and he is the one we tune in to watch to get his quirky opinions.
not really a looker
If you think this is a looker, you're not bringing your misses to my swinging night.
@@richardturner5703 Damn I’m gonna give you a cape so you can be SUPER -Mad 🦸♂️
The gv70 cx5 now THOSE are lookers. Not this 😂
Nice try though
Oh My GoD, sOmEoNe hAS dIfFereNt OpiNion, Go DiE!
The plug in hybrid can definitely go further than the only 35miles Doug quoted. They go close to 60miles and can be basically used as electric cars on short range. It hits over 90mph on pure electric power alone
I feel like people keep forgetting that you don’t just get the plug in hybrid power train for that cost, the 450h+ price includes a mandatory luxury package which comes with the beefed up 14 inch touchscreen.
@@romannasuti25 agreed
Plug-ins are not the best of both worlds. You still have to be charging it, they rarely charge as fast as EVs and the range is too little. Sure you have the "peace of mind" of gas (at $6 gallon now), but you don't get the sound or performance.
@Armor
Stop pulling stuff out of your butt.
The NX450h+ has an 18.1 kWh battery with an EPA EV range of 37 miles.
My gas powered Rav4 can also hit over 90mph.
Doug is a master of marketing, I laugh every time he says "CARS... AND BIDS"
Had a 2015 NX and loved it, surprisingly sporty.
Yesterday I was searching for Doug's review on this car. Feels good to see this review 🤩
This is the first Lexus Doug has actually liked other than the LFA and LC. I'm happy to see him come around and I am also happy to see Lexus pull their head out of the gutter and catch up with the rest of the market. Also, you should review an IS-F at some point, I speak for a group when I say I would love that review.
He also liked the LS
Doug is the type of guy to wear cheesy dad shirts during high class car reviews.
"high class car" - Lexi are just rebadged Toyotas
@Illunworth we aren't talking about VW/Porsche, clown. We are talking about people that think that Lexus is a luxury brand - which it's not.
@@Christoph-sd3zi lexus*
@Illunworth true
@@Christoph-sd3zi Yes it is.. just because your a hater for Lexus that doesn’t mean it isn’t a luxury brand!
My father-in-law bought a leftover dirt cheap it's a nice little car. He actually kept it he was going to give it as a gift
I think the electronic door handle actually makes it better. I loved that feature.
Hey Doug,
Would you consider adding a few cars/sedans to the ending Dougscore comparison slide? Sometimes crossovers like the NX compete not only with their rivals from other brands, but also the comparable sedan from their own brand. Would have loved to get your take on whether it's worth it to "step up" from a similarly specced ES to the NX in terms of price, storage, room, and performance. Thanks!
Going from an ES to an nx is actually a downgrade. The es is far more luxurious inside and it’s way more refined. That buttery smooth 3.5L v6 is just the next level up in luxury and the nx lacks that.
Going from anything to the nx is now a downgrade.
@@naveenthemachineif only the crossover madness didn’t exist
SUVs are stupid, useless and every insulting word in the world
I on the other hand like the singular aspect of the screen! If I want to see the nav screen I do not want/need to see other things, Finally!
Camera in rear view mirror should be standard in all cars it just makes sense.
This is in the top 3 best-looking CUVs sold in the US.
Thankfully Lexus finally got the memo and added a touchscreen. Huge improvement
Over what? Easy to use dials?
@@GeeEm1313 of course, you don’t want the self-obsessed and distracted Millennial driver to focus on the other cars and the road, do you now?
@@j_freed you sound ancient. The Lexus still has physical dials for the things you typically adjust during driving, volume and air temperature. Everything else is almost certainly easily accessible through voice commands.
This is literally a RAV4 hybrid. The plug-in version is a RAV4 Prime. These are Toyota products, and they have the same touchscreen in all of their Toyota highlander platinum trims. None of the RAV4 has have this nicer radio, although the newer ones likely will get it in a year. The gauge cluster screen, is atrocious. It's done better even in their Toyota Highlanders, and even in the lower base model trims of their other Toyota RAV4s. My 21 Sienna has a better gauge cluster and screen layout. The heads-up display is nice though, a lot of that functionality is already in my 2020 Highlander Hybrid Platinum.
@@go2yanks - I am certainly not a fan of excessive onboard tech for its own sake (nanny-assist features are annoying and just add cost) but that’s interesting and I’ll check it out.
I’m also not a fan of people who pay more attention to their phone than driving their car, it’s an unserious attitude to road safety and this correlates somewhat to a younger ‘always playing on a touchscreen’ demographic. Older drivers can be equally inconsiderate in all kinds of ways.
I always found the 360 camera system odd. Why develop a system that the user can't manually scroll through to change the view? Extremely odd to me.
Nothing like Crossover SUV to make one instantly flaccid
16:30 Doug: “It’s pretty quiet”
MASSIVE pothole: “think again buddy”
I just Snap chatted this video. I was given this car today from Lexus as a loaner 👍🏾. Talk about irony😅 Great minds think alike Doug!
Looks better than the competitors as well. Audi and BMW have lost their minds with the Q5 & X3. Not sure why they need to emphasize on sportiness so much for their base level SUV's.
Agreed smith john
Overall, a fantastic update. I don't like large touch screens (or any touch screens) and I'm one of the few people that really like the first generation infotainment system... I daily drive a 2021 NX 300 and I have zero issues with it
I have a 23. Had a 16. The prior Gen feels ancient now
Love the Idaho shirt you’re always rockin casual clothing whether you’re reviewing a Ferrari or a Toyota
Doug - How can you review a hybrid and not talk about the mileage and efficiency? Very few luxury SUVs out there in the 40 mpg bracket...
Also - the NX450h+ in the mid 6s is nowhere near the X3 M40i (mid 4s)....
If you’re buying a luxury car who cares about fuel efficiency? If you care about fuel efficiency go buy a Prius
Plus why nit get a cheaper but more luxurious Toyota Venza
With all these insane electronic options in new cars, can you imagine how insane phantom battery draw will be after 10-15 years of age on new vehicles? Good luck finding where the draw is coming from lol.
Okay he shifter is nearly the same as bmw but they needed to change it slightly. That’s why the side slot. Bmw is opposite. Up for reverse and down for drive. Side shift for paddle shift.
I got the nx 200tfsport
In 2015 when it first came out
My biggest complaint with the previous NX was the ride quality. Totally turned me off when I was shopping for an entry level luxury crossover.
That's definitely a deal breaker if you are shopping for a luxury vehicle and the ride quality sucks.
It's based off a rav 4
I’ve heard that the 18 inch wheels offer a better ride than the 20 inch wheels on the new NX
Did you try the F Sport ride?
don't think so. the venza just came back recently. The NX was still here while the venza was discontinued.. and doesn't the venza have alot more interior room than the NX?
Get your hands on F - Sport model instead with the all new 275hp turbocharged 4 cly. Wanted your Opinion on that new engine turbo engine
Not very quick for its class. If anything it’s as fast as a CX5 turbo and Santa Fe calligraphy
You can go way faster in rivals even Asian brands.

Hope they fixed the pcv system in this engine...previous nx has serious design problem causing moisture to build in the oil..
I wish the next RX is similar to this one
To me the NX already looks like a baby RX!
Doug is the type of guy to wear a “I potato Idaho” shirt in one of his videos
Doug, what are you talking about the Driver Assist doesn't change lane? It has Lane Change Assist, Teammate steering assist, Auto park vertical or horizontal, and moreeeeeee
Lincoln Continental and Lincoln Aviator have been doing the electronic door openers for a while, soft close was offered for a while. Although Lexus implementation is better because of mechanical release for each door!
Had anyone else noticed that Doug has gained a couple inches in height since he started filming these?
One thing that always annoys me about daddy doug when he compares this sort of vehicles he always compares their acceleration and handling to sports cars rather than vehicles in their own categories. Other than that nice video!
Agreed .
Excellent timing. Went to Lexus dealer today to look at NX and they did not a single one to look at. Said could put a deposit to pay $5,000 over MSRP to get one the list.
Wait until the Recession kicks in in a few months and they will be knocking thousands off of MSRP this fall.
I’ve been on a list since October.
Thanks for your review. I test drove an NX350h last week. I agree with your quirky comments re the door handles and the gear shifter. I understand why re the door handles but they are not intuitive to use. And I had a lot of difficulty even getting the car into drive due to the design which means you have to push the lever to the left before moving it back and forward unlike my ES300h. Yes, overall it is a really nice car and better than the last version, particularly re the infotainment system. Of note, I did not like not having a spare tire and being forced to have run flat tires. And unlike my Lexus ES300h, I found that, when I took my foot off the accelerator, a type of gentle regenerative braking took place to pull back my speed - instead of allowing the car to coast.
I really like the hybrid of the NX, especially with these current gas prices, but EVERY single one within like 50 miles of me was being sold with anywhere from a 5 to 10k markup, it's insane. I really wish Lexus could do something about the current situation with ADM because it's turning away potential customers. Ended up buying a fully loaded top trim CX-5 and although it doesn't get as good gas mileage as the NX, we got it for MSRP and it's a fantastic car for the money. Honestly I would've purchased the NX350h for a little more if there wasn't such an insane markup, but it is what it is, super happy with the Mazda
Really? Local dealer (North Cal) said no mark up for new Lexus last month
Should've bought a miata

@@aerohk Here in SoCal they're pretty much all marked up, at least the hybrids are. I would've made the drive up there but I just don't have the time...

Doug the type of guy who wonders why boxers don’t use leg kicks during a match.
That’s what I want to buy it, this sound of reliability and quality control ❤❤❤
I've put 11k miles on this vehicle and pulled it off the lot with 0 miles.... it's literally in the shop right now for cylinder 3 misfire. This is the 2nd time it's been in the shop since I got it 6 months ago brand new btw.
From the side profile it looks so much like a Mazda CX-5 that I thought Doug used the wrong thumbnail photo.
Doug what's your take on the recent announcement of no WRX STI coming???
They killed their own sedan lineup
As a longtime Toyota fan I couldn't live with the grills and decorative vents in all their cars. I'll have to buy an old one I guess
Or buy Acura or Volvo or Genesis or Caddy
@@rahimi4762 The wife chose a Caddy XT4 for the same reason, I personally didn't mind the front end styling of the NX but she hated it. Lease is up soon so will probably give Volvo or Lincoln a shot since she wants a hybrid this time and Cadillac is still behind in that technology.
@@Stressless2023 I wish Acura would have done a Sport Hybrid on the RDX. I believe Genesis has one or coming out with one. Have u tried Tesla?
@@rahimi4762 Yeah Acura seems a little behind on offering much hybrid technology also, aside from the 6 figure NSX lol. And I've actually been interested in Tesla's but EV's aren't quite convenient enough for us to own just yet since we wouldn't be able to charge at home. The wife likes the Volvo XC60 hybrid and we'll probably check out the Lincoln Corsair Grand Touring hybrid as well and she'll probably make her decision. Not a whole lot to choose from unfortunately.
@@Stressless2023 yeah they had a Sport Hybrid MDX and RLX but didn’t bring it to the next gen
Can't wait for the new 296 GTB review!

Crossovers are.....well, they're gay. A person that buys a crossover says "I'm middle-aged, and never really cared about cars---all I need is something that can move my family unit from point A to point B". Someone that buys an upscale crossover is the same type of person, the only difference is that they want badge recognition.
Thing is Huge af Doug: Small crossover
Generally, I find Japanese to have great interior design/quality but sometimes polarizing exteriors.

As the Japanese have bland, cheap, unfinished looking interiors, I'm going to have to pass on your videos
Im glad doug uploads the "normal" cars, they may not get many views but theyre going to help a lot of people looking for cars in this market
I really love it when he reviews affordable cars.
I really like that gear selector lever a lot better than other knob gear selectors!
My only issue is that to me the interior looks more like a RAV4 not a Lexus, just not sure if this differentiates itself enough
It doesn’t 😂. Every other rival is better than this. Even the venza is more luxurious. Plus tbh even a Camry XSE or XLE have nicer interiors too
Lexus might be competent and reliable but the brand isn’t exciting anymore.
Couldn't agree more. Never thought I'd see the day Lincoln and Genesis make more compelling offers.
Lexus has lost their way now. It’s time to give up on Lexus and accept that genesis has objectively ended Lexus and wiped it off the market. The big question is why is Lexus still bothering even trying to make new models when they’re clearly uncompetitive the second they get unveiled to the world? Just taking a Camry or corolla, dressing them up and charging 10-20K more is not luxury at all
So I wouldn’t say Lexus is competent or even fine. They are just dead and will soon go out of business
@@naveenthemachine rest in peace genesis 2015 to 2028.good bye old sport you was never good as lexus and thats ok because your naveenthemachine the family loved you even when you could not sell well at all.

Hello Doug I would love to see more Mercedes AMG reviews. I truly enjoy watching your videos, thank you for showing us these awesome cars. (-:
Doug I'd love to see you drive an NX 450h+
It’s literally just a rav4 prime. Watch his review on that rav4 prime and the same thing applies to thr nx450h+

Glad to see they are putting the Rav4 Prime drivetrain in more vehicles, now to put it in something smaller to make it go legit fast.
Good review of a good NX. However, is there any reasonable way to buy it at MSRP or less? Bad times to be a buyer of a new vehicle.
Get the Rav4
Hi, If you would compare it with the very first edition Lexus 350 would be great to see its development.
Thanks
I have a 2015 same exterior color butter interior one of the best cars the only problem like the screen but it doesn’t really matter
That middle screen needs a dark mode option.
Everyone: Lexus has such huge ugly grilles.
BMW: Hold my Hefeweizen!
I was really impressed how the infotainment was well improved. Little concerned about those electric door handles on how long will they last. I owned a 2018 Lexus NX 300 AWD with 34k miles and it's still a good suv. Is it better than the Genesis GV70? Yeah, that will be a another story with Genesis fans. Hopefully the 2022 Lexus NX last longer with their good reliability. Also my aunt made a bad choice on depositing a Volvo (not sure which model) cause the chip shortage.
(Edit: today is my birthday)
Happy birthday
@@chezzyperson3339 I'm going to be honest with you, the GV70 infotainment is the type of system to get used to it more.
@Kenny Kolodor I mean everyone has different preferences to how they want their infotainment to be like. Not everyone will be on the same table to whether the Genesis Infointantment system is easier to use or not.
This is a good SUV.
I drove an original NX for a couple of months, and I enjoyed it. It was great for what it's designed to be and I'd get one.
Interesting how the plug in hybrid is the same price as the RAV4 PRIME. Coincidence?
There are many different types of car enthusiast, I consider myself one, but I think the NX is an excellent vehicle. Shocked to see that you chose extremely unreliable brands, jaguar Lincoln, etc., over Alexis reliability. Some of us car enthusiast prefer reliability, sorry you can’t see that.
I think the question that SHOULD’VE been addressed more in this video (and wasn’t) is whether or not this is worth upgrading to over the RAV4Prime. It used to be that they were sisters from opposite sides of the tracks, but with the RAV4 Prime STARTING at $40k, I think it’s an apt comparison missed.
I want this crossover era to be over everyone has one
with elevated fuel price, this is the beginning of the end.
