2020 LEXUS NX 300H – MARK LEVINSON SOUND-SYSTEM DEMO

EV Channels Review

This video provides an in-depth demonstration of the Mark Levinson sound system in the 2020 Lexus NX 300h. While the system boasts 14 speakers and 835 watts, the reviewer finds its audio tuning disappointing, with an overemphasis on the mid to high-range frequencies that can make music sound harsh. Despite the capable hardware, the sound mix prevents it from reaching the excellence seen in other Mark Levinson implementations. The reviewer notes that manual adjustments can partially compensate but do not fully resolve the issue. Furthermore, the infotainment system's touchpad interface is criticized for its lack of intuitiveness. Compared to competitors and other Lexus models, the NX's Mark Levinson system receives a moderate objective rating of 7/10 and a subjective rating of 6/10 in the luxury compact crossover segment, primarily due to its tuning and the infotainment system's usability.
