My new favourite car reviewing channel
Had my Lexus 350h AWD for 1 year Best car ever,I have over 30 cars Merced’s bmw Renault Mini Cooper s etc😎🏁
you compare new lexus with old bmw/mercedes. Can it be the reason?
Entertaining as ever Howard
Amazing review. Very engaging. Not seen this before. Was watching carwow all the time. Now i got another favourite.
Splendid review Sir 👌 I have a T Roc presently after returning to 4 wheels from a great few years on 2. I ordered an NX 350h last July & have just heard yesterday that it’s completed it’s build and is now on its way.🤩🤩🤩 The only problem I had is deciding on colour. There isn’t a great choice of colours imho. I know colours are used to sell cars. I think Ford & other companies have done it this year with the new “Flat Grey “ colour. It reminds me of a 1950s Ford Popular ! but it works as you see quite a few cars that colour now & they are all new . We had a blue CRV & a Vauxhall Viva that was very similar to the Lexus Blue. There aren’t many other choices for us as we have the Gunmetal Grey at present, it it’s very common now. That leaves the burnt orange or the karki green colour which I don’t like either. The Red is a bit better but it’s just a flat red that’s not as nice as a Ferrari red so that leaves one option. So I ordered it in that colour with the red leather interior. Yes it’s not the Black, worst colour in the world for showing every swirl or insect mark, I wasn’t sure I had made the right colour choice so I went back to the showroom to have another look. The Pearlescent White is amazing. It’s many different colours depending on which way the light is. So that’s my criticism really. There aren’t many colours to choose from. I just hope that the next model doesn’t have the colour I really want, a shocking BARBIE PINK 💗💗💗💗💗
Silver.... Silver... Silver.
Excellent review of an excellent car. Very entertaining.
I mean up until a few years ago the design was dog shit and I would’ve taken most cars over it. Thankfully there was a redesign and it looks decent now.
@@alb0zfinest not just decent
You are funny 😊 thank you for the review
_"....How do I know that? I don't have a girlfriend."_ That could be quote of the year 8-))... I just watched a review on the Lexus RX. They look more or less identical. I'm assuming, because of the price, that the RX is the bigger brother? Interesting that this car now has _run flat tyres._ They'd be the first thing I'd replace. *Run flats and comfort do not go well together.* And this is from personal experience. *Lexus are brilliantly made. Both in design and quality.* *_Though they don't have a patch on Howard and his dress sense_* 8-))...
Yep!.......I put Michelin's on my 450h+ "F" Sport it is much quieter than my wife's 22 RX rises smoother and I not get 48 miles per 120Volt charge compares to orig 38 miles because of the LESS ROLLING RESISTANCE!!!
Your reviews are brilliant, you cover everything over a short space of time, and more importantly I’m delighted that you secretly think that Lexus are the best vehicles in the world, because so do I.
Same here!! Proud to say, and also really great review.

Class review as always! Keep them coming Dr Howard........
Fantastic review
You do a great job reviewing. You should be the front person on Car wow. Matt can learn a thing or two from you. Great car so expensive here in Ireland. It is the RAV4 for me. Poor man's Lexus. but same underneath.
Am I supposed to be laughing, because I’m laughing out loud at your British humor (humour?) good review.
10/10 car
I've always had to order tyres in, never 2 weeks......occasionally 2 possibly 3 days maximum & more often than not they're there & fitted within 24 hours.
do you know if it is also compatible with android car in a wireless mode?
Yes Android - double check where you are.
Do the mirrors fold in automatically when you lock the vehicle?
they do I believe
Yes they do
I want the NX 350h Omotenashi. The wait time is close to a year! Bummer.
You mean Takumi?..
@@shane6115 I believe the absolute top version is the Omotenashi. It’s assembled by special workers with at least 30 years of experience. It’s perfection.
@@markg1531. That’s correct 👍, it’s called takumi. All Lexus build in Japan are built by the best, takumi is the top model with all the extras..
I like every bit of this car except for the piano black especially on touch surfaces. It's a shame. Still if I could, I would get one of these over anything else out there.
Um why did you guys not showed the back seat or the cargo space? 🤨
Would you like the Ryan Air response or?
I own this car. Its not huge but defiantly gets the job done. I have road tripped from Albany NY to Charlottle NC with 4 family members all of our luggage fit for just over a week worth of packing
Yeah, that’s the most important part
I test-drove one these, but it just didn’t feel very ‘nippy’. You put your foot down and it doesn’t feel like anything happens. It got faster, but so progressive that you barely notice it.
Lol how fast do you want to go? 0-60 in 5.7secs. Remember this is a family 4x4 not a super car. That would’ve been a sports car a few years ago.
Faster/same as BMW X3 s and x drive which is around this price or just under by a bit
@@hazadoor get a sports car
@@joey-pn3xe i already have the 2022 NX 450h+
@@hazadoor sorry my reply was for the person that wants a family car to go faster
Did I hear it right? But that voice activation accent almost sounded British to me. 😊
Easy entree for a person of1m89???
I decided on a top spec CX-5 for about $35,000 less.
Fantastic!!! Won't depreciate as fast as all other ICES as EVs take over.......in the next 3 years.
EV's will die out in the next 3 years. You won't be able to give em away.
It's a decent car but after owning the PHEV Santa Fe I just can't get excited about them. Normal hybrid all day!
Excellent neurological analysis, Doctor LOL. Safe to say, it'll probably be reliable.
Ditch the run flats and get some proper tyres and experience how it should be
Have 24 nxh luxury. ❤️❤️❤️car , 10/10 BUT mark levinson upgrade SUCKS. Two tiny tweeters upper rear doors, NO other R speakers. Lexus did reach out to me twice and had me bring it in. There’s nothing they can do. Even other cars are like this. 15 speaker in front , two in rear😳 Their theory is that the music should be coming from the front of you like if you went to a concert. That’s ridiculous, we want surround sound. I am Waiting on car audio shop to see if I can put in 2 big door speakers and xtra amp . They have to find grids to go over them. . Will be 1000+ . That will have me keep car. Strangely cheaper 10 speaker has door speakers and sounds better. Hope more ppl complain
When you have to list "paint" as one of top 3 best things about the car, hmm...
i have no shit Smartphone ....can i still drive these new fancy cars ?
Gomennasai.
Alles bestens sogar diese zu kosmische Aussehen könnte ich verkraften, aber die Beschleunigung...😖
*~*~*~ BAR None: The Lexus NX 450h+ “F” Sport is the absolute best PRACTICAL nicest Vehicle ever produced.....!!!

Finger prints are terrible. Old tech screen.. not for usa
WHAT an Idiot 14" screen if far superior to ANY screens...and ant prints that show up are only when power is off....Hey stupid simply wipe off the screen!!!...what an idiot!
Too noise. Nah. Don’t buy
No, you should not get one. I got it for my wife 6-7 months ago and it is not really a good luxury car. It is made cheap, very noisy, in winter on a highway it gets 25MPG. It is not a luxury car, it is just an RAV-4, it drives like RAV-4 and feels like RAV-4.
Oh no I just ordered one and it will be here in April!! I am getting a Cadium Orange one. Pretty costly eh?
Same as yours...
I had one as a courtesy car yesterday and tbh it was lovely in my opinion. However I agree its not gd on fuel compared to my lexus ux. However I didn't find it noisy or uncomfortable. Loved to warning mirrors on the motorway.
😂 HOLD ON ☝️... Google it,, this car has issues, reliability score is 67 out of 100. Why does the person making the video not point that out? Easy, he gets paid not to. The 2022 model had lots of issues, the 2023 is the exact same thing, no changes. Do your own research
How can you say that about a Lexus Lexus is from toyota, the most reliable car brand. What sort of ohio conspiracy theory is that
EVEN Boeng has problems lol
I've done just that because I'm considering one. There's mainly infotainment issues and something draining the starter battery. Seems acceptable.
YEP VERY BAD VEHICLE....IDIOTS..................... like you buy Euro Headaches MASSIVE DEPRECIATION LOSS, Nightmare Service or Korean Junk bad elec and Transmission / Genesis!
