Next time compare UX 300 vs RAV 4, want to see which is better
Do you know when the TX550h+ plug-in will be available? Second quarter of 2025?
My sister was going to buy another RAV 4, then she drove my 2024 NX 350h, and now she has a beautiful 2025 NX hybrid!
We compared them both and bought a 2024 NX350h.
The smile on her face while she was driving the whole time says it all 😄
I had a 2015 Rav 4. I had to get rid of it because of Pistons problems and I needed a new engine.
I do like the new Rav 4 , however, it looks rather rugged to me .
So I decided on the NX350h because it is more luxurious, feels sporty, and personal. I made the best decision because I'm single, 60 and this will carry me throughout my retirement.
Lexus cars are just way more reliable. Stick with Lexus all the time. Toyota cars are flimsy and garbage.
Proud owner of RAV 4, 2023 XLE here. Amazing SUV, we like it so much, strongly recommend vehicle 😊. P.S. you two should consider to make more videos like THIS is great segment and you are impressive together.
Thanks for the great feedback!! We have a few more videos planned soon!
Lexus is always the winner, always. That RAV4 is cheap, flimsy, and unreliable. So, it's Lexus all the way. Reliability wins.
The NX looks nice but I rather save over $10k and get a spare tire and non run flat tires and also get a bigger SUV.
The RAV4 wins all around!!!!
Yup, we just did exactly that - £20k difference in the UK though!
Not a chance! The Rav-4 is extremely loud inside compared to literally any Lexus product. Silence is golden!
I'd rather hear what the engine is doing, it's part of the driving experience.
Thank you so much for doing this video! I actually love that you have real salespeople in these to go over the features, instead of watching just some youtuber. Cheers from Florida!
That's great feedback thank you!!! I do notice we sometimes touch on a few things that other CZcamsrs might miss!
Great video! I love both, I had a RAV4 and I can say it’s a great car. But now I have a NX350H and of course the upgrade to luxury it’s just awesome. You can’t go wrong with any of these.
Loved the reviews.
Hope you guys do something like this again.
good job guys! really interesting comparison and nice feedback from both of you on the feeling while driving each car
I had so much fun watching this video, more like this please!
Gotta get a 4K camera to record ! Great video as always !
The interior of the NX is where it outshines the RAV4. You can’t get a 14” display and Mark Levinson speakers in a RAV4. NX has better color seats to choose from. More horsepower!
Aweome video! Your passion for these vehicles really shines through! 👏
Thanks so much Lindsay!!!! Much more to come!!!
NX if have the money
Well, being cheap ain't good because if you buy the RAV4, it's cheaper, yes, but it's unreliable and it's garbage and won't last long and pretty flimsy. So for me, I would go with the Lexus all the way. Yes, it's way more expensive, but guess what? It's quality, reliable, it's very good. I'll take the expensive one. Being cheap is not good.
@@Americanboy48why are you trolling on multiple comments? Toyota is one of the most reliable brands on the market. So is Lexus. Lexus is simply the luxury line of Toyota. Both incredibly reliable.
Great video.. That would have been a fun video to make.
for crying out loud, why is 2025 you need to clock a button to lock and unlock the door. This should be walk up and away feature
Not gonna lie, I much prefer the more rugged exterior styling of the RAV4. But I'd take the superior Lexus interior any day though. RAV4 exterior + NX interior = my dream car. 😍
Sounds like you need a GX
Yeah I’m thinking the same thing
Yes, and keep ravs trunk
I compared the NX PHEV and RAV4 Prime. I got the prime because of extra tow, higher clearance, use regular fuel, spare tire and much cheaper insurance. 😅
more states need to get rid of having the front plate requirement
You two are amazing. Great chemistry. All the fun of a broadcast TV show. Shot well too. Just need to reduce the echo when your mics pick up one another. Take more time with the audio editing. And add more cutaway shots of what you two are talking about.
Thanks so much for that feedback! It was both of our first time sharing the spotlight like that!
Excellent comparison review. I think you both need to fight it out with the Highlander and RX next!!
The Toyota Venza is more comparable to the NX. Love my 2023 Venza. Toyota isn’t shipping the Venza over here after 2024 but they are still producing it in Japan as a Harrier. I think the Venza is too close to the NX so they decided to discontinue it here even though they said they are replacing it with the Crown lineup. 😢
Yeah, i compared nx hybrid / venza and got venza last year. I felt nx is a bit smaller in interior. But they are both quieter and have really good quality materials than rav4. I really like my venza, but sadly toyota will discontinue venza in us. 😂
I go for RAV4 Prime XSE Technology
I have the 2024 Rav 4 limited hybrid and definitely better than the non hybrid since I test rode both as well as the nx 350 hybrid. The Lexus is a luxury ride but not worth the 8k more to me
Yes the RAV4 is everywhere on the road I never missed it one day 😂
Hi Dustin, Have you noticed any difference in driving the 2025 NX vs 2024 NX? I heard there is better NVH, higher clearance and more rigid structure so it turns better. Appreciate the feed back!
Nothing changed for 2025 except one new color.
My dealer told me that model year 2025 has increased rigidity of springs and body, soundproofed wheel arches and few other minor changes. I'm living in Europe and my NX is produced in Japan. Not sure how about US market.
I think that changes will come to us in 2026
I like the NX but I'd skip the fsport package with all that shiny black, it will never look as good as when you pull it off the showroom floor
He makes both cars look smaller because of how tall he is.
Unless they’ve removed it, the RAV4 does have a package with the panoramic sunroof.
I like rav4 exterior and nx interior
Good luck finding either at a dealership. The 5k difference is minimal and the Lexus would be better resale
Unpopular opinion: Dustin never leaves the house without a suit
Why would that be unpopular?
The prime would be a better comparison
Nx interior and seats is better, but previous generation has even better seats. Does it worth 11K extra? Smaller trunk. Bumping head in tailgate. Stiffer ride. No spare tire. I don’t remember when last time I got flat due to nail, but last year on low profile tires I pinch twice, so what you are going to do with repair kit? That not going to fix it. Good if you have friend with rav4, so he will bring you his spare tire to get home
I drive the rav4 5 days a week, various models xle, limited.I have driven the nx twice now.Hands down much more quiet, smooth ride
I think a NX 250 to RAV-4 comparison would be a better match-up.
That said, I’d go for the RAV-4 to get the same size of vehicle for a lower price. RAV-4 limited is essentially a luxury vehicle, anyway.
NX requires premium gasoline and Rav 4 runs on 87 octane. If you drive 30K a year, it makes a huge difference.
The NX 250 Runs on 87 octane
Love it! Very entertaining. Wouldn’t swap my NX 450h+ for anything! Just love it
26:07 - the pano roof DOES exist in the RAV4 hybrid...might depend on which market Japan specs it out for - like here in The Bahamas
Thats good to know!!! I sometimes wish we got more features from other markets! Hello From Canada!!
I like both
Definitely… I love mine Lexus NX 350 Fsport 3 Redline ❤ yeah 👍
I had a NX350H on order for over a year in Canada. I also had a Rav4 Ltd H on order for almost the same length of time. 3 price Increases on the NX and 3 model years...NO CAR SHOWED UP !
I'm driving a 23 Rav 4 Ltd H . Actual delivery time was 9 months. Lexus Canada hate their customers. They shipped them all to the US
I wonder what Dustin would say about the RAV4 Prime compared to the Lexus?
A more appropriate comparison would be between the NX hybrid and the Toyota Venza. Even the top trim RAV4 Limited is no where near the premium feel of the Venza. Venza competes with the NX
If you actually drive more than 25 miles an hour in this video, you’ll notice a big difference as I did.. We love our ‘23 NX 350h
I feel Lexus guy helping rav sales lady 😅
Why is an aggressive looking front end important. Can't help thinking that if you want an aggressive looking car, you will drive aggressively...?
That’s win for sure 2.5L but dislike 2.4 turbocharger
Rav4 all day long and twice on Sunday's 💪
Lexus is best for advance tech performance comfort of driving.
Satisfying looks and ride.
But if you are on budget rav is good.
They are both reliable.
I have Lexus and Toyota.
For daily drive work shopping parties, I use Lexus
For long distance drive and exploration Toyota. Off road rough road.
Why the economy and the damage😁
They are both good for long
distances.
Reliable
Lexus is fuel efficient but because of more power too much tech function.
Not good for energy consuming.
Because of Toyota simplicity tech which I like.
Not complicated if your are in a long journey.
Lexus for sure. All the time and forever.
Sir. Dustin Mason have a similar voice to #MrBeast 😁 When you listen to it, it's like he's promoting his games 😅
LOL I've definitely never been compared to MrBeast before but I'll take that as a huge compliment!!
In the UK: tested Rav 4 Excel, Lexus NX 350h and RX 500h F Sport - We went with the Rav 4 - The Lexus's (Lexi??) were nice, but with 2 kids neither had enough space, had too much complicated tech that I'd never used and the Rav 4 just looks way better + the car theft of Lexus, Audi and BMW here is insane.
The Excel has the winter pack with headlight washers, heated wipers, puddle lights, power seats both fronts, heated wheel.
For £50k vs £70k it was a no brainer. Really lovely to drive, even on the UK's small windy roads, it handles really well.
RAV 4 side mirrors do not fold, a serious omission 😢
I own a 2017 Rav 4 and I'm trying to decide between the Rav 4 and Lexus NX. I'll probably buy a 2022 or 2023. This was helpful but I still don't know which one I want! :) Do you know when the next body make over is going to be on each? I hate buying one and the. next year there is a major change.
Wow, your driving my car 😂😂 owner of the exact same vehicle, in and out. I love mine.. Rav who??
You're you're you're you're you're you're you're you're you're you're you're
NX hands down.
NX has 20" wheels and not 19"
Come on now, it's comparing apples to oranges, if you have the budget, you get the NX, period.
Points off for not using a Rav 4 Hybrid
No spare tire, needs a towing RAV spare tire no towing , RAV wins
The NX all day! It’s SO much quieter compared to ANY Toyota product. Don’t forget it’s a luxury car at the end of the day. These comparisons are really very silly. You need to compare it to other luxury cars. You are devaluing the brand by comparing it to a Toyota. Don’t give into the haters please
Lexus all the way baby
How expensive is lexus maintenance? Toyota has 2 years/25k miles no cost maintenance. How about lexus?
Premium gas required, more insurance etc..it's very reliable but if any repairs it would be more expensive than Rav4.
TOYOTA 🙂👍
LEXUS 👌❤
How about comparison between rx and rav4? Are they comparable?
RX is bigger than a RAV4. You would need to compare RX with Highlander.
I know people say RX vs Highlander but couldn’t it also theoretically be compared to a Venza and now the Crown Signia? I know platform wise it’s not really comparable, but size wise I think it is
@@minhkha3382 but isn’t the rx smaller than highlander? Rx size seems to be between rav4 and highlander.
@@fomofersure6711 the next biggest Lexus is the TX, but that usually gets compared to the Grand Highlander because they both can fit up to 6 people. It’s kind of hard to compare exact dimensions.
She really likes this RAV-4, and overpriced Toyota, cheap cars no style with BMW price, crazy 😮
The NX has no spare and runflats, so no way I'm buying one.
Comfortability 😂
No issue when you have money but if not go with the Rav4. It will be a lot cheaper(maintenance and insurance, etc) if you plan to keep it for long. Also has a spare tire, which is a must have item for me. No fun getting a flat when help is hours away. As a previous Lexus owner only pro is no question ask free loaner from Lexus dealer when in service for whatever reason. Toyota, it's your own unless it's a major repair service.
You've never gotten a flat tire or had to wait hours for 'help'.
@@Mr21scott You must not go out alot. I'm a unlucky person when it comes to flat tire. I enjoy road trips to remote places. This is a big country and yes, help is hours away in many places. And many service shops in remote towns either close early and closed on weekends. 40 mile range of runflats on the Lexus won't work for me. I carry a tire repair kit and full size(not factory donut) spare tire in my 23 Rav4 and I can change tire in about 10 minutes if trunk isn't full. I also have AAA, Toyota roadside assistance for 10 years, and Garmin inreach in case no cell service. But I would rather change it myself and go on my way than wasting my time waiting for help to arrive out in nowhere or in a bad weather. Someone never had single flat in their life but I already had few. Lol.
@@matrix-fh9tn I have things in my refrigerator that have to be older than you, and I'm telling you that you've never had a flat tire and waited hours for help.
@@Mr21scott So you never seen people changing out flats on the side of the road. Get out more often. You get older staying home too long.
@@matrix-fh9tnYes it can happen, granted, I change my tyres when they’re only 1/2 worn so I hope to lessen the chances. Anyway from a personal point of view I like a full size spare tyre.
Nx trunk space is too small
She is so cute 😊
LOL thank you!! I'm sure she will be excited for the compliment! Make sure to check out Performance Toyota's CZcams channel as well!
GTR 😳🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰
Just buy the RX.
S sport
Bought the Toyota brand more suitable for daily used. Think about it Toyota parts never discontinued. But Lexus lineup examples GS discontinued 2020 even the spare parts stop. Caus
Bcoz i have 2018 GS 350 F-sport that dealership can't help provide new part cause they discontinued this model GS. So i think Lexus not reliable durable serviceable. Buy Toyota brand parts can be delivered overseas. Don't buy Lexus even it used.
Lexus = overpriced Toyota
Yeah, Toyota cars, number one garbage, very flimsy and unreliable. Lexus car, number one for reliability, and nice styling, design, just a way better choice
Lexus is owned by Toyota. Toyota isn’t garbage, not sure where you got that from.
toyota can do a good design in lexus, but the toyota self just design like a afterthought..just look at yaris. it just look like a camel . huh
Affordable price and reliable are the key!
Lexus is winner just because it has medical kit!
Rav 4 interior is trash. I hate em. Narrow space , up display, steering $ those 2 giant nobs are old school. Look how beautiful interior Tucson has.
A lot of people like physical buttons and knobs.
I am old school, I don’t need all this electronic wizardry.
