Absolutely AMAZING car
By 674906c7 on Monday, November 27, 2023
The 2022 Lexus NX is an INCREDIBLE vehicle! We are proud Lexus owners (coming from a 2016 RX 350) and this car has been a big upgrade for us. We have the 350 Premium, and there are so many great things to say about it. The 275-hp 2.4L turbo 4 banger is a reliable and peppy ride, with pretty smooth acceleration and pickup. The sound isolation is not class-leading, but far from the worst. This is complemented by the luxurious cabin, with soft and supple Nuluxe leather (red for us!) and beautiful accents. There are a multitude of great safety features like auto brake and adaptive cruise, but best of all is the 14" touchscreen. Absolutely huge, and a big upgrade from the old RX! The styling of the NX is top of the line as well. The front end does not only possess flair and class, but the rear end lightbar is imposing yet provides a very upscale look. The body lines are to die for! Overall, we absolutely love our 2022 NX - our only con is that it is slightly smaller than competitors (not a problem for our small family however). Highly recommend purchasing this car - the dealership experience is amazing too! - 5.0
Don't Sleep on the 250.
By TommyBoy on Sunday, December 07, 2025
Every review we've read has said "the only complaint we have is the 250 is underpowered." That's one way to look at it. And when compared to the Lincoln that we replaced with it, yes, it is less powerful. But we never got 32 mpg in our turbocharged Lincoln. I'm not sure how the mileage is calculated for the official numbers, but we are getting that 32 in city driving. We get even more on longer trips. Does it take a little bit longer to get up to highway speed on an on ramp? Yes. That may be a deal breaker for some folks. The other thing I love is that I'm getting that mpg without a complex (and expensive to repair) hybrid system, no battery to replace, and no turbocharger to die on me. This is legit like buying an old school "built like a tank" drive train that's going to last a long time. Everything about this car just feels like balance, compromise. It is sportier than the Lincoln, but more plush than the Acura. It is far better built than the Mercedes GLC we had before the Lincoln. I suspect the whole ownership experience is going to be a lot more positive, though we've had it less than a year at this point. Overall, this is just a really really good vehicle. And for someone who buys heirloom products and sees cars as a long term investment, this is a great car to consider buying and driving "til the wheels fall off." That's what we plan to do.
