THE BEST LEXUS CROSSOVER? LEXUS NX 350 F SPORT REVIEW + BUYING GUIDE!

EV Channels Review

The Lexus NX 350 F Sport is presented as a strong contender for the best crossover in Lexus's lineup, praised for its striking "ultrasonic blue mica 2.0" F Sport-exclusive color and unique styling, including a distinctive mesh grille and triple-beam LED headlights. The reviewer highlights the F Sport's improved handling and a more engaging driving experience compared to previous generations and even the larger RX model, noting its compact feel and maneuverability around town. The 2.4L turbo engine is commended for its significant torque improvement over the naturally aspirated variant and the previous generation, providing a satisfying punch. The ride quality is described as fantastic, even with the 20-inch wheels, and the cabin remains remarkably quiet. Positives include the high-quality interior materials, comfortable F Sport seats (though the lower cushion is noted as a bit tight), a good base audio system, and the convenience of wireless Apple CarPlay/Android Auto. Criticisms are directed at the infotainment system's responsiveness and the difficulty in navigating back to the main software, as well as the fixed climate control display. The reviewer also points out the lack of a physical button to hide the climate controls and the wireless charger's tendency to activate unnecessarily. Despite these minor drawbacks, the NX 350 F Sport is considered a well-rounded package, offering a blend of performance, luxury, and practicality.
