The 2022 Lexus NX marks a significant improvement, establishing itself as a competitive contender in the luxury mid-size SUV segment. The reviewer highlights the hybrid powertrain (NX 350h) as the standout, offering a compelling blend of strong performance (179kW) and exceptional fuel economy (5.5L/100km), making it the recommended choice for most buyers. The F Sport trim, while featuring larger 20-inch wheels and adaptive dampers, strikes a good balance between sporty handling and ride comfort, comparable to rivals like the Volvo XC60. Positives include a refined and quiet cabin, excellent visibility, advanced safety systems, and a vastly improved infotainment system with a large touchscreen and responsive interface. Downsides are the lack of wireless Apple CarPlay/Android Auto (though a future update is promised), and the absence of a V6 engine option. The reviewer also notes the NX feels like its own distinct model, rather than a rebadged RAV4 or a lesser RX. Overall, the NX is praised for its improved dynamics, sophisticated interior, and the practical advantage of its efficient hybrid option.
