My update follows this original review: We traded in our 2018 Toyota Highlander Limited, a very good vehicle, for an NX 350 that is totally loaded. I was hesitant to purchase a vehicle that requires premium gas and rides on 20" run flats. No problem. MPGs are good; the tires are not noisy or harsh as their detractors said they'd be. The NX is quiet, comfortable and punchy. It's roomy … inside, yet smaller than our former Highlander, which is what we wanted. The Lexus brand's promises come true in this model, a fine blend of interior quality with a composed, confident ride. Power when you want it, low end torque or highway cruising. The tech took about 2 or 3 drives to absorb. Similar, but better, than Toyota. The door handles are great, so much easier on the hands than regular handles. So is the minimal effort shifter, which is so easy to use and so intuitive, along with the memory steering column. Ambient lighting is a hoot! Sound system is beyond anything we've had before. Vary spacious. Turning off the info screen is my only gripe: you must navigate through some app taps. Wish there were just one command. "Hey Lexus" is fun! You can use her to do anything! If your screen menus are bothersome, just tell her to do what you want, and bingo. Apple Car Play in the Lexus NX is so easy. And it's wireless. No bothersome tethering, as in other "upscale" rides. And using Amazon music is a really nice addition. We are Prime members, and we use Amazon Music a lot. Still, the Sirius XM radio here is great, with a very nice layout and navigation ease. Nice graphics, too. Additionally, Lexus' own Nav system beats Apple's maps: so tasteful in its gray and blue. Wow. We are in heaven. The steering wheel menus seem tricky at first, but they are ultimately simple and logical. The heated steering wheel is heated all around! The heating and cooling buttons are logical and easy. The overall feel of the Lexus NX 350 is solid, quiet and powerful. It is fun to drive, and holds the road much better than a mid-sized SUV. The interior look of the cabin leans toward minimalist design, clean, uncluttered and tasteful. That's what we were looking for. German equivalents trended towards louder design, cluttered, more metal, etc. Lexus won us over with a refinement not found in other interiors. And this NX is super forward in its technology. The Lexus phone app is great, too. If you can find one of these, go for it.
AFTER DRIVING LEXUS NX FOR 2 YEARS
PROS: Punchy acceleration; confident cruising speeds; quietness and solid build quality; super easy door handles, inside and out, for old hands like ours; large info screen ease of use after learning it; tech touches continue to impress; "Hey, Lexi!" is great; bike fits with wheel off and seats down; exterior styling is edgy and cool; goes up our long, uphill driveway in the snow; awesome heating and cooling system inside; pretty darn good mpg; sound system is 2nd to none; low maintenance overall; really good Lexus app for phone, which I use a lot; interior styling still impresses, especially if you like a clean, minimal look; safety features become so important once you have them.
CONS: 20" run flat tires are noisy on some pavements; 20" run flat tires make the ride harsher over bumps; 20" tires are super nice, once you're going fast, though! wow; premium gas: can't get used to it; steering wheel buttons are actually nice once you learn them, but I hate the heads up display and keep it off: very distracting; would love an easier way to find mpg and trip info.
