LEXUS NX 350H 2022 REVIEW WALKAROUND | HYBRID NX FULL TOUR | CHASING CARS

EV Channels Review

The Lexus NX 350h Sports Luxury represents a significant leap forward for the model, particularly in its interior design and technology. The reviewer highlights the "Tsuzuna concept" which prioritizes driver-centricity, making controls intuitive and accessible. The new 14-inch touchscreen with its responsive operating system is a major upgrade from the previous touchpad interface. Positives include the comfortable and well-appointed cabin, spacious second row, and the refined hybrid powertrain offering a good balance of performance (179kW) and efficiency (claimed 5L/100km). The exterior design is described as handsome and evolutionary, with notable features like the e-latch door handles and illuminated rear light bar. However, the reviewer notes the absence of a spare tire and the power-folding rear seats being exclusive to the Sports Luxury trim. While the static presentation is strong, the ultimate verdict awaits a driving impression to assess the GAK platform and new engines in real-world conditions.
