Its a small, 4000 lbs CUV, slow as molasses, way over-engineered for what its capable of.
The engine runs on premium, plus 2 electric motors, yet it only gets 6l/100km.
167 lb.-ft. of torque and CVT contraption to move 4000 lbs car.
Good luck merging on the hwys fully loaded.
Is this what passes for the "luxury car" nowadays?
Because it’s a Toyota. Such luxury, refinement and “reliability “.

I had something if i recall like subject to change if vehicle warrants damage or excessive increase in KM. Something on the lines of that and the value of the trade in is on the BOS. Even if it wasn’t written unless they low ball me like massively I did the math where I will break even with gas and insurance. I got trade in value of $52,050 pre tax and my break even price is $43,000

Huh? Where did you get 167 lb-ft torque from? And it runs on regular.. premium recommended, 87 required
Recommended to use premium unleaded gasoline with octane rating of 91 (Re- search OctaneNumber of 96) or higher for optimum engine performance. You may use unleaded gasoline with octane rating as low as 87 (Research Octane Number of 91). In this case, engine performance may be decreased.

While not fast, I wouldn't say it's slow as molasses
Thanks to its additional power and slightly leaner curb weight, the 2022 NX350h accelerates to 60 mph in 7.0 seconds, which is 1.3 seconds quicker than the last NX300h we tested and a few tenths quicker than the gas-only 2022 NX350 with its 2.4-liter turbo-four.

The new hybrid also outperformed the turbocharged NX350 in the quarter mile with a 15.4-second pass at 89.0 mph, but the all-gas variant crossed the line with a 3.1-mph faster trap speed. In the stopping department, the 2022 NX350h takes 129 feet to come to a halt from 60 mph.

The new hybrid's efficiency improvements are even more notable. The outgoing NX300h returned 33/30 mpg city/highway, which is decent but not exactly impressive for a hybrid. The NX350h trounces its predecessor's fuel economy figures with an EPA rating of 41/37 mpg city/highway —all while delivering more power and superior dynamic performance.
As for why it's so popular..easy...can you find an entry luxury crossover with awd that gets 6l/100km for 50k?

The new larger electric motors provide instant torque to get similar 0 to 60 that my 275 hp RX was able to get. I find merging is a breeze. Premium gas is also not required just recommended where most people just use 87 and never notice the difference. Having owned many vehicles of all makes the NX 350h is well worth the wait.

My hand-built 5 years ago FFE was faster and had more torque than this disaster. Cost 1/3 of the Lexus.
It only had one motor too.

Not sure where you got $50k., it clearly states $59k.
And yes, one year ago I got TMY SR for $54k.
Its not awd, but it cost me so far $1000 to travel 36,000 km.

Omg lolol ,Face With Tears Of Joy... That's just the gas engine...you need to add the electric engines torque as well. Does your Tesla have 0 torque because you don't include the electric engine's power?

You think 167lb/ft torque can propel the 4000 lb suv to 60mph in 7 seconds? Lol

Here's the manual with the gas required (87)

Lexus website? 59k is with luxury package

FROM $49,900

Please just stop embarassing yourself and learn to actually Google? And look at your sources?

...did you get anything right so far? From type of gas, price, power figures you've gotten all wrong

He asked you whether you can name an entry luxury crossover for 50k, and you mentioned the Tesla Model Y. The cheapest Tesla Model Y now retails for $83,990.
It's great that you got a SR Model Y for $54k, but no one has a time machine so no one else can buy one for $54k.

I was going to respond to the question but I can see that it wasn’t asked in good faith. Dude can’t even do basic research.

On top of that I would not consider a Tesla “luxury” I would choose a rolla over that thing. No hate on Tesla but just built quality isn’t there and it still feels cheap. And with their SUV, their emergency latch in case the power dies is located inside the speaker grill Grimacing FaceGrimacing Face

Still, not sure why they do that given they have a perfectly designed solution up front. It must be cheaper to do a different solution than copy and paste.

Badge. There is a sizable population that shop cars based on badge.

But seriously, if you are buying a Lexus, going fast is the last of your concerns.

I expect this drives like the Venza and Venza while nothing to wring home about, it's a perfectly fine daily driver.

Questionable design choice no doubt. It is dumb, why overcomplicate something as simple as a door release... But it seems like the moment you come out with a EV things have to go stupid, this goes for legacy manufacturers as well. Look at Hyundai with the ioniq5 HVAC controls. It's a joke.

that guy got it all wrong and thankfully has left

don't think it's badge that sells this..it's more of the the hybrid and price especially in current "high" gas price environment

50k for an entry luxury crossover..but only one with a hybrid option (e.g. competitors like Q3/Q5, X1/X2 , GLA/GLB etc) all don't have hybrid options, require premium fuel and aren't really any cheaper. This gen finally has decent power for the hybrid version (compared to prev gen)

280 lb/ft torque (combined) and 239hp (combined) , huge tech upgrade (for lexus) ..and then the badge/reliability. But thing is..there's lots of entry luxury crossovers (way too many lol)...but none have a hybrid option that can get 6L/100km and for 50k

it has the same hybrid engine as the venza but bigger/more powerful electric motors borrowed from the RX hybrid (well the now previous gen) for 20hp extra . But ya, nothing to write home about in terms of driving for entry lux crossovers but that's not what most people are looking for in the segment anyways especially when they are looking for hybrid.

the regular gas NX350 is better drive for sure and plentiful and not hard to get but it also has to compete with all the other entry lux crossovers so less demand.

hmm... never thought of that. Thought BMW has a X3 PHEV but sounds like average fuel economy is worst than NX350h once EV range is out.

My friend here seems to understand why people would buy the NXH. I hate how all the reviewers complain about horse power this horse power that. You buy this car for fuel economy, reliability and a bit of luxury. If you want to go fast go buy a German. I like how refined and “slow” Lexus and Toyota are because they are affordable and reliable. I always ask people why do you need over 250HP for?

My cousin got the nx350 (just gas, no hybrid) model and it drives amazingly. The turbo engine is actually pretty decent and the torque is great. Driving in manual is really fun too, especially going to 6k rpms, the car kicks you back to ur seat after the turbo kicks in around 3k rpms and it actually sounds decent too. Not sure about the hybrid model as it has a CVT so probably won't be that fun. That being said I doubt if ur buying the hybrid model you'll care about the fun factor.

My cousin came over from NYC and recently got the NX350 and it drives great, love the turbo engine especially mated with the 8speed auto. It lifts really quick in manual mode and the torque is actually pretty crazy (first time driving a car with a turbo engine)

My friend, Toyota/Lexus is not for you then. You can buy a Ford and get the jazz, but 5 years later it would turn out to be a Ford...

Anyone know the current lead time for an nx350h or nx450h+?
