Lexus NX (2014 - 2021) 300h Sport auto 5d Owner Review

I had the NX for 2 years and drove 16000 miles. I had a Lexus Service plan and all of the staff at Lexus Stockport were fantastic, professional and reliable. Sure, the car does make a noise - when accelerating with its CVT gearbox compared to other 2.4L petrol engines - but that means there's also no dual clutch system to replace in the future (costing £££'s.) And it also gives decent performance in' Economy' mode, great accelleration in 'Normal' mode and superb getaways in 'Sport' mode. The NX steering is quite car-like. I certainly did not feel like I was driving a massive SUV at any time. The added black alloy wheels on my Sport Model gave it a very nice look from the outside albeit I lost tinted rear side windows compared to the Premium or Luxury Model. From the inside, the car had a lot of features - sometimes it was worth trying to switch modes just to see how many MPG it would get in each. The Lexus NX for me was just a supremely reliable car that was enjoyable to drive, coupled with a decent audio system (MP3 usb audio, DAB Radio mostly), excellent GPS Mapping/Sat NAV and great space, front and back. After swapping to a smaller Lexus this year, I definitely miss my NX 300% and I would definitely purchase again (if my partners insurance premium is reduced as more no-claims are built up over the yeaes ahead.) Which is the only reason I had to swap. Take it for a test drive. You'll find it much better than most reviewers say it is. You'll find it cheaper to run and service than other cars too.
