Hello everyone, I'm Richard CHEN
The MSRP of the new NX is finally settled
The new model will be available to delivery very soon
This NX redesign comes with
4 sets of engine systems
Up to 15 configuration packages
You know, before Lexus has only
One engine system for each model
Up to 7 configuration packages to choose
But this time with new NX
Suddenly add that much
Don't say it's you
I'm lost to make a choice facing all these models
So I will take a moment to analysis it for you
Hope it will be helpful to your next purchase
The old NX series and Toyota's RAV4 share the same platform
But the design and materials above the platform are completely different
This time the new NX
Lexus uses a newly designed platform
Overall vehicle length, vehicle width, and even vehicle height
Are bigger than before
Don't underestimate the 3 cm gap
The design of the inner space will obviously feel different
First let’s have a look of the new NX250
NX250 is a basic version
Only offer one package
Actually when I got the information at first place
I think this model is little valued
Although a new body and chassis are used
But gave up the Lexus 2.0 turbo engine
Instead, the 2.5L self-priming engine of Toyota RAV4 is used
With 8-speed transmission
Horsepower dropped from 235hp to 203hp
I also took a look at Toyota’s configuration
Similar to the RAV4 XLE four-wheel drive version
However, the price of this Toyota RAV4 is only 36,649$.
And NX250 is 47,400$
Although the engine and transmission are exactly the same
But with Lexus interior workmanship
Leather seats
18 inch aluminum alloy wheels
And Lexus cellphone remote control
It can be said that is a high-end version of Toyota?
For those has limited budget
But miss the Luxury touch
No acceleration or speed requirement
This model will be perfect for you
Not finished yet
This model also includes 18-inch aluminum alloy wheels
Heated steering wheel for winter
Heated front seats
LED headlights and fog lights
push-button start
Smart door handle
Blind spot monitoring
Garage door remote control
Back up camera
Please note that
This NX250 does not have a sunroof and automatic tailgate
It just meets the basic needs of daily transportation
NX350H Hybrid
Only 2500 dollars more than the NX250 basic version
Starting from $49,950
Yes, only 49,950
The new Hybrid version is only $2500 more than gas version
You can have it
The 350H hybrid uses a new 2.5L engine
Provides a maximum output of 240 horsepower
46 horsepower more than the previous engine
Average fuel consumption per 100 kilometers is 6.0L (47mpg)
How hybrid vehicle save energy?
You can click on the upper right corner of the video
understand how hybrid works in 8 minutes
In fact, the real fuel saving is driving in urban areas and traffic jams
Generally driving on highways
The car engine is running at a constant speed
Whether it’s a hybrid or regular vehicle
Actually they are both fuel efficient
The fuel consumption of ordinary vehicle in traffic jams will be terrible
The advantage of hybrid vehicle is that
they are majorly using electricity when speed below 55 kilometers/H
And it doesn’t need to be plugged in
Really sets your mind free
Lexus announced by 2025
All models will be electrified
hybrid vehicle will be the first step of this plan
personally think this 2500$ is very worthwhile
the driving pleasure brought by the improvement in power
The kind of quiet and comfortable driving
A worry-free experience without worrying about fuel consumption in traffic jams
Definitely more than the 2500 $ itself
So between these two
I will choose the hybrid version
Just now we talked about
This basic package does not have a sunroof and automatic tailgate
It can be said that it just meets the basic needs of daily transportation
If you want to add a sunroof and automatic tailgate
Plus memory seat
Just based on the NX350H basic package
Choose to upgrade package
Only add 1500 Canadian dollars
Price from 51400 Canadian dollars
You will have them all
Perfect
A little summary
If your budget is around 50,000 Canadian dollars
You can choose the gas version of NX250
Or add an additional 2500 Canadian dollars to upgrade to the same configuration
In exchange for more power
The more environmentally friendly and fuel-efficient hybrid version NX350H
Or add another 1500 Canadian dollars
The sunroof, the automatic tailgate, and the memory seat are all equipped
But until now
The new technology of the new NX has not been mentioned yet
If you want to get the same one as shown on the advertisement
NX350 series starting at $55,400
NX350 series should be the new flagship
The configuration lineup is very strong
The eye-catching thing is Lexus’s new 2.4L turbocharged engine
8-speed transmission
Provides up to 275 horsepower
0-100km acceleration in 6.2 seconds
This power even exceeds the entrance model of Porsche MACAN
The standard version of NX350 is equipped with a 14-inch touch screen
Driver preference profile
After you get in the car
Quickly switch your default preferences
Includes 64 color presets of ambient light that you like
Link to Bluetooth
Preferred music station
Even the music volume, etc.
The panoramic sunroof is also in the standard range
Mobile phone wireless charging
Apple carplay and Android Auto
And it's wireless connection
No need to connect a data cable
Blind spot monitoring
High-speed semi-autonomous driving
Automatic line change assist (option feature)
In the future, you only need to turn on the lane change light when changing lanes at high speed.
The on-board computer will analyze the speed
Distance between cars and blind spots
Fully automatic lane change will be effect within 4-6 seconds
This is one step closer to fully automatic driving
Backup camera
Emergency automatic braking
Parking assistance sensor
Plus equipped with 20-inch aluminum alloy wheels
Does it feel completely different from the previous configuration?
While this is just the base model of NX350
Surprised? Right?
The same configuration package
Only add 1000 Canadian dollars
You can have the NX350H hybrid version
For this small difference
It's really hard to make a choice
This 1,000 Canadian dollars v.s. gas consumption
It can be said that the cost of using the two vehicles is almost the same
choosing a 240-horsepower hybrid engine?
Or a 275-horsepower turbocharged engine?
My suggestion is this
Consider environmental protection and fuel economy
Consider the NX350h hybrid version
Want to pursue driving pleasure
Choose turbo version NX350
If it's me
This time I might choose the turbo version of NX350
As there will be less and less gas version in future
The beauty of driving gas vehicle is d
Listening to the rhythmic roar of the engine
That kind of pleasure is unmatched by electric vehicles
The next price jump is bigger
On the basis of NX350 standard configuration
Add 4300 Canadian dollars
Starting from 59,700 Canadian dollars
Can be upgraded to an ultra-luxury package
Mainly contains 3-eye LED headlights
Kick tailgate
360°surround camera
Electronic rearview mirror
The best thing is that there is no car key
Yes
The traditional car keys are completely gone
Adopt a new electronic key
Just bring your phone
That will be so cool driving out in the future
Start your Lexus via face recognition
In case you didn't bring the key
Do not worry
They will still prepare you a credit card key
in case the emergency
again, just add as little as 1000 Canadian dollars
You can purchase the NX350H with the same configuration package
Ultra-luxury configuration package for hybrid
And with the price of 59950 can actually get the first plug-in series NX450H+ in Lexus history.
This high-profile plug-in electric car is based on hybrid technology
Although the battery along life is only 60 kilometers
But short-distance on electricity
Long-distance use hybrid
No restrictions at all on use
It is also possible to apply environmental protection subsidies
Such an affordable price
Really make people love it
But the basic configuration package of this model is relatively simple
18 inch aluminum alloy wheels
One sunroof
Heated and ventilated leather seats
Electric tailgate
Heated Steering wheel, etc.
The configuration is not that luxurious
But enough for daily use
A little summary
If your budget is around 60,000 Canadian dollars
You can choose the gas version of NX350 with full horsepower
Or NX350 sports version
You can also upgrade to the same configuration by adding 1,000 Canadian dollars
In exchange for the more environmentally friendly and fuel-efficient basic version of NX350H
Or you can try the plug-in technology at the same price NX450h+
Want to have a set of Mark Levinson? no problem
If your budget is around 65,000 Canadian dollars
Then everything can be provided
Mark Levinson Audio
Head up display
There are also fancy technologies such as cell phone remote control parking
If you want to choose the same configuration
Switch to the NX450H+ executive version or sports version with a hybrid plug-in
How much do you need to add
10,000 Canadian dollars
Starting from 75,600 Canadian dollars
To be honest, this jump is indeed a bit big
Without any government subsidies
For a plug-in option
To pay an extra 10,000 Canadian dollars
Although electricity is cheaper than gas
But can it really save 10,000 Canadian dollars in gas?
I think it depends on the actual kilometers you drive
Better do a calculate
Before go with plug in model
Finally, to summarize
Compared to 2021 model
NX in 2022 is indeed a qualitative leap
Rather than a model change
But more like an innovation
previous model used to have one engine
Sold in several different configuration packages
This time, for the first time in Lexus history, 4 sets of engine systems were used for the same vehicle
Plus a new hybrid plug-in technology
For different customer needs
Made a more detailed market segmentation
Whether you are looking for the right budget
Or fast acceleration
Or advanced technology
There is always a right NX waiting for you
