You would buy a Dodge. Most of us go for Reliability + resale value, would shop Lexus. So the Lexus, the Toyota, the Acura, the Honda, even the Infiniti would be the wise choices. Especially, Bang for the buck, which Alex. U get to drive all these cars & youre wined & dinned by these fancy manufacturers. The NX is top in the category because buyers want the Lexus RX but can afford an NX. The RAV4 looks like the winner over the CRV - turbo thin oil issue, some of the top RAV4 models look luxurious. If one can get a good deal on an NX, better yet. But still the service dept costs. The RAV4 tires + brake jobs I assume will cost you less in the long run.

Great review Alex. Customers shopping the Lexus really arent interested in performance and handling. They just want an inexpensive, nimble, visually luxurious SUV that gets great gas milage and rock solid reliability. Lexus knows how to market that customer, and there are many of them. Only the Infiniti and Acura can compete. The European cars are much more expensive, expensive to repair, and a lot less reliable. I drove most of the cars in this review, and decided these little SUVs werent for me. Hands down the most impressive one was the GLC300/43. Which vehicles would you own for the next 10 years? Not a mercedes or volvo

Was going to test drive one tomorrow, but after this review and seeing that the Cabin noise is 73 Db rating, and its ride comfort low rating, whats the point of buying a lexus, if it rides like an average brand, etc. ? Cargo area way too small for its overall size. sure, give 2 less leg room (cause it has alot) and allow larger cargo hold. its a suv/cuv, so cargo area is a must. its only 17 cu f. ? or is its this small cause its the hybrid? how much does regular model have? . cabin noise is key criteria for my next car. talking on blue tooth, helps to be quiet inside.

The nx 300 hybrid uses regular gas as opposed to premium gas required on the non hybrid model, which is a big plus for me. Also, the hybrid provides plenty of power, with great fuel economy. We have the atomic silver model with black interior and love the premium look and feel of this car. It rides nice and is very comfortable. The optional tri led headlights provide plenty of light with a very cool futuristic look that works well with the sharp overall styling of the nx. The mid cycle refresh also provides nice interior refinements over last years model.

Like he pointed out all the rest have newer models out so it makes sense theyll handle better with slightly better interiors. Despite they all have new models out i can bet before the year runs out the NX will probably be the best seller like it did last year even with a new Glc in place. The Bmw x3 isnt even doing well in sales, lets see how the new model performs for 2018. By the time Lexus brings out a new gen NX itll be ahead of the pack in luxury and features again plus the ever dependable reliability.

I seriously considered this vehicle but I test drove it and decided Lexus in general isnt for me anymore. I do really like my IS250 but the tech is lacking and I wanted to get something a little bigger. The tech, infotainment, and overall styling just feels dated. The quality is of course, excellent, but the materials and style feels a little lacking. I could have forgiven some of that if it drove well but it just didnt feel good to drive. The Volvo XC40 is the way Im going to go.

I love how this Lexus looks in F sport trim. The Lexus Isnt old at all. the rest just got completely updated very recently. The Acura is so new its not on sale yet. So I think you should have left the comparison test part for the next generation NX. Cant really compare a current generation model to next generation models like you did at the end. For this to be the best selling car in its class Lexus is differently doing something right I think its the best value in its class.

This is an outstanding Review and Comparison. I have owned three Lexus RX350 is past years but not currently. These were outstanding vehicles. However, I think Lexus has dropped the ball on their current RX and NX. The NX is Too Narrow a vehicle, The Media system is too compromised, It is also too sluggish and the quiet and comfort does not meet expectations. I would personally choose the Acura RDX over the NX even though Lexus has a more premium reputation.

I have the adaptive suspension on the NX300 and it handles very well. Its also very quiet on the f sport model came from Mercedes c400. NX 300 brake on the normal mode is not as responsive as in the sport mode, personally I think the brake should be programmed as responsive as in the sport mode. One of the best looking suv in the market, very sporty inside as well if chose with the red interior with red stitching.

People need to get over this conspiracy theory where Toyota and Lexus are great vehicles. Toyota is on top 5 of recalls year after year, their vehicle styling looks obnoxious, they dont offer Android Auto and Apple CarPlay (they are just starting to implement them, and the competition offer more. How long will it take for people to realize the facts mentioned above and stop buying shit vehicles?
