2019 LEXUS NX 300H REVIEW | HYBRID BETTER THAN TURBO 4?

EV Channels Review

The 2019 Lexus NX 300h hybrid is presented as the superior choice over its turbocharged counterpart, primarily due to its significantly better fuel economy, especially in city driving (33 mpg vs. 22 mpg). The reviewer highlights the hybrid's smooth, quiet ride, comfortable seats, and the excellent feel of its regenerative brakes, which are expected to reduce long-term maintenance costs. While the interior styling is noted as slightly more budget-friendly than other Lexus models and lacks some modern connectivity features like rear USB ports and standard Apple CarPlay (on early 2019 models), the overall craftsmanship and material quality are praised. The reviewer commends the steering feel and handling for a crossover, despite some expected body roll. The primary drawback mentioned is the lack of outright speed, but this is deemed acceptable given the vehicle's focus on efficiency and the inability to utilize high speeds on public roads. The reviewer concludes that the NX 300h is the recommended pick for its cost of ownership and efficiency.
