LEXUS NX PLUG-IN HYBRID OVERTRAIL - THE MOST COMPLETE LEXUS OF ALL?

EV Channels Review

The Lexus NX 450+ AWD Overtrail is presented as a highly complete and versatile vehicle, particularly appealing to those with an active lifestyle. The reviewer highlights its comfortable ride, ample interior space, and a generous 520-liter boot capacity, expandable to 1000 liters when seats are folded, making it practical for gear and family needs. The plug-in hybrid system offers a respectable 70km of electric range, though the slow 6.6kW charging speed is a notable drawback, lacking fast-charging capabilities. Positives include the responsive infotainment system, physical controls for essential functions, and the option to select the car's color in the display. However, the reviewer criticizes the touch-sensitive steering wheel controls as cumbersome and the dashboard design as busy. The Overtrail package, with its increased ground clearance and all-terrain tires, is questioned for its necessity and potential compromise on daily driving, with the reviewer suggesting a standard tire version might be more suitable for most users. Despite the high price point (over €70,000), the overall package is deemed a strong proposition for those valuing Lexus's luxury, refinement, and flexibility.
