I bought this car January 24th 2021 brand new from Lexus! It’s my first luxury suv and it’s been a pleasure to own ever since. It comes with very comfortable seats the ride feels smooth like butter! It handled bumps and most pot holes on the road very well. The power is adequate for a vehicle of its weight, I do wish it just had a little more power at times, but it’s nothing to have stoped me from buying this suv. Passing on the highway is a breeze with confidence. I currently have about 1,550 miles and I’m getting about 22.5 MPG in the city, which is not bad when comparing other SUV’s in its class. I definitely recommend the premium package or higher, since you get lots of features that are nice to have. Overall this is a great vehicle for a single person or couple with one or two children. I definitely recommend!! Go out and test drive one for yourself. It’s worth every penny! **** Review Update 10/09/2022 ***** My NX 300 has 16,000 miles of trouble free miles. I have driven this SUV to Arizona, San Diego, Palm Springs just to name a few. It’s been a pleasure to own this SUV since new, compared to other cars I’ve owned in the past. I definitely still recommend this model to anyone wanting a reliable compact SUV!!! I’m so thankful I kept this particular model, since the new redesigned second generation has had a lot of issues. This first generation is bulletproof all the way!!! ******* Review Update 10/13/2024 ******* I have owned my NX since new back in January 2021. It’s been an amazing SUV, I have always had it serviced at Lexus and it still runs like the first day I drove it off the lot. I currently have approximately 32,300 miles and it’s been very reliable, it’s only gone in back to Lexus for maintenance, that’s it nothing more. I still recommend this model it’s very reliable!!! Looking forward to many years of trouble free happy driving!

I really like this vehicle. My daughter has a RX350 which really turned on the Lexus quality and features, but the NX300 fit our needs better. Beautiful interior, smooth ride, and looks that set it apart from other vehicles in its class. Once you get used to the info system, its fine. Also, the speak function prividea everything you need- climates media, phone. Only issue that I don't like- when using Apple Play for navigation via USB, the speak function is disabled,. but I have to research that a bit more. Overall, I am very satisfied.

With covid it sure made things different on shopping and working a deal ( sometimes easier as you call walk away much easier) test drove and bought .. car drives so smooth and has alot of electronic ... i would recommend this vehicle so far , only have owned a week . dealer worked with me and never felt pressured . touch pad is a little different and i was concerned from reviews i read , but so far am getting used to it and was not a deal breaker like some reviewed

Love the features in my F-sport. Purchased the F-sport with hopes it would satisfy my desire for cornering, pickup and speed w/o the cost of maintenance. (Previous BMW owner). What I learned. This car is a great car for someone who wants luxury in a tight and snug cabin having no expectations of crisp maneuverability and responsiveness. It’s a lovely SUV. If you haven been in the past a BMW, Porche, or Tesla owner, DON’t DO IT. I tried with 3 different Lexus vehicles only to flip them within a year back to a BMW. I’m done trying with the “tried and true” Lexus that will last forever as long as you keep the regular maintenance up and will stick with “Driving Machines” that you just know after the warranty has run out, you’d better have a special car account for guaranteed future costly repairs. I have accepted that I need a fast, responsive car that corners extremely well with speed.

This is my first Lexus SUV, I have owned it since new in 2021. It’s been an amazing SUV! Very reliable and comfortable. DONT listen to the negative reviews left on this SUV, people just like to complain without even owning one. Love this SUV, it’s a lot more reliable than the new second gen.

I purchased the base model with a premium upgrade. The drive is smooth and the safety features are superb - much needed for driving in Los Angeles traffic. Although the touch pad for the technology system received subpar reviews, It's worked out okay for me. The only complaint I have is that the headrest for the driver seat and front passenger seat tilt too far inward. It was extremely uncomfortable over long periods. I had to flip it backward and purchase a headrest cushion to make it work. Now my rides are much more comfortable. Other than that I truly enjoy the car. I chose this over the BMW X3 for the value and affordable upkeep. Although I do wish the seats were comparable to the BMW X3 as well as the sunroof.

The NX2021 is such a zippy little SUB. Compared to the 2018 model I was driving it surges rapidly into traffic. It is seemingly quicker to accelerate and easily changes lanes to keep up with freeway traffic. I have not taken it on long trips because of COVID, but it is so quiet on my trips around town It reminds me of the BMWX5 I had before moving to the Lexus brand. The seats in this year model are very comfortable. The cabin seems wider than the 2018. It is a fun, responsive, sporty little SUV that is a joy to drive!

Major Design flaws cause AC to malfunction

Bought 2021 NX300 last year. The entertainment system and ease of use with the HVAC on it are both lacking, but that wasn't a deal breaker. What has happened is the major AC design flaw. Apparently it is exposed to road debris which can easily cause it to stop working. Since this is not covered under any type of warranty, it has costs us out of pocket to fix. If it's something I knew, I would not have purchased this vehicle. Whats worse is Lexus smug attitiude. They will not work with us other than to say "sorry about your luck" Will never buy another Lexus.

I have had my new car for almost 2 months. Made a great choice. Comfort, refinement and quality build. Getting used to the touch pad, do miss being able to use the screen but on the positive side no finger prints on the screen. Would choose the NX again.

After 3 weeks of constant research online for a luxury small suv with Mercedes Benz GLC 300. Volvo xc40. Bmw x1 and x3 Audi Q3. Acura Rdx. On my list and Lexus not even on my of 6 choices. I ended up with the Lexus nx300. So many things went into me choosing the Lexus. First talking to multiple mechanics. Watching videos. Then came the test drives. On I tested the Lexus it was all over for the others in my opinion. Very happy with the purchase thank you Edmunds for your great website and recommendations.

Recently traded an Acura RDX for a 2021 Lexus N300. The car drives well and the basics are fine. I am currently involved in an argument with Toyota (the manufacturer over the discomfort of the driver's seat. When I sit on the seat it feels as if there are two hard objects under my butt, So far I am not getting any satisfaction, Toyota customer service keeps saying to take it up with the dealer and the dealer says they are all like that. Even the salesman agreed with me that something is wrong. IF all Lexus 300N seats are like that then I wouldn't recommend buying one. The car comes with four instruction manuals. Too many and too complicated.

This is my first Lexus purchase and I am incredibly thrilled! The warranty offered on a Certified Pre-Owned Lexus is unbelievable! You are better off with a used vehicle rather than a brand new. The smaller SUV is the best of both worlds. It is neither too large or too big. It is super sporty and has an amazing ride! Get out and test drive one today!

We got the 2021 NX 300 Sport for my wife. She is 5.1" tall and absolutely loves this car. She gave me the 2020 Toyota Highlander we bought her the year before because she felt it was just a bit big for her. Now having driven both cars, to me the Highlander is more comfortable because I am 6.O Ft tall and I feel cramped in the 300. The sporty ride is not as smooth as the Highlander, and jostles me around in the cabin. Rear compartment is a bit small, but works for small purchases at the grocery store. As stated above, my wife really likes the car, but for someone my size, I would consider other choices.

Just bought a used NX with 23k. I disagree with the review and find it very fun to drive. The F-sport is sporty and sharp. I do agree that the touchpad is clunky to use. And I was surprised that the power back hatch wasn’t a standard feature. But over all I am pleased.

It’s a great car. Super comfortable, fast enough, great functionality, terrible value hold. Can’t believe how it went well below the residual value. But Don’t forget it’s a Toyota and will be a lot of rattling noises from everywhere. Service was fine, terrible Lexus dealership experience at the end of lease. Stay away from Tustin and other OC dealers. Lexus USA has a terrible customer service and brand team as well. STAY AWAY FROM THIS BRAND IN THE US.

The vehicle is small and feels it. The ride isn't bad for the short wheelbase, but the turn radius is poor for such a small car. The biggest disappointment is the lane-keeping and lane centering features. They are worse than bad; they are dangerous. They work a lot of the time, but i never know when they won't. I've tested often and find the car will drift across the center line many times, and more frequently, doesn't "read" the white stripe on the edge of the pavement and would go right off the road if I hadn't intervened. I traded it for a new model. Glad to be rid of it.

Tight, responsive handling; smooth/fast acceleration; smooth ride; decent sound system; nicely appointed interior; great mirror range...but the touchpad control was a majorly bone-headed idea--not intuitive, too small/tight an area for quick and easy access to everything and not well integrated with the steering wheel controls--I HATE IT. SUV is also very noisy when windows are open, and the foot open for the rear only works about 30% of the time.
Love my new car

I have a 2021 Lexus NX 300 AWD and absolutely love it. The front seats are very comfortable and I even love driving this car. The Sound system is good and the road handling is great, especially if you put some good tires on it like we did with Goodyear assurance. The size of this is perfect for me as I do not have kids just for babies. The trunk is average size for SUVs at this size point. And the folding down backseats allow you to be able to put bigger items in.
