I voted yes based on price, but the 450h would be my first choice.

My Wife got a 23' Rav4 Hybrid limited. Nice car, but but no where near the comfort, handling, power, and features of my NXh Premium.

NX350h feels it has more power but the 2nd row seems to only fit 2 people even average size. I test drove the Rav4 hybrid and NX350h yesterday learned quite a bit. Rav4 can fit 3 people across but doesn't seem to have that much power. Difficult to find a right solution in our case.

Some people seem to think the RAV4 hybrid is the same car as the NX350h. Or some say identical. They are neither. I initially thought I'd finally move away from the luxury badges so I drove the RAV4. The ride, engine and road noise in the cabin, nothing special interior, etc. cured me of my plan. Of course there is a price advantage to the RAV4 but it makes this a case of 'you get what you pay for.' The NX350h really delivers on what it promises.

Details of why I like the NX350h
NX350h feels it has more power but the 2nd row seems to only fit 2 people even average size. I test drove the Rav4 hybrid and NX350h yesterday learned quite a bit. Rav4 can fit 3 people across but doesn't seem to have that much power. Difficult to find a right solution in our case.
Again I will say the 2022 Lexus NX 350h is a great car. ML is fantastic, 14 inch screen is great fast, and responsive, very quiet even with run flat tires, and gets more than adequate acceleration. The mpg is very good. The triple beam lights are worth the cost ( adds LED turn signals) really light up the road. Tne panoramic roof is very nice. The intuitive parking brake is nice ( put car in park or power off and automatically sets the parking brake). Power folding mirrors are nice (the default is when car is locked, but you can have the dealer change to fold in on power off). The 2,000 lb towing and activity mount provide a 1 1/4 trailer hitch connection; be aware you have to get an extension and it somewhat interferes with your rear kick sensor opening the rear door. The door opening electronic and the shiifting are pretty neat once you get used to them after a time or too. Wireless CarPlay is great. I like the Qi charging; I have not had any problems but some people have.
Items so, so : digital key, phone key, digital key: they sometimes don't work well if you have multiple profiles and multiple vehicles Lexus/Toyota ..they all depend on a cell phone number.
digital mirror - gives a great unobstructed rear view , but it is hard to focus on the image displayed. Try it out. If you have the digital mirror you can easily switch between the digital mirror and the conventional rear view mirror.
HUD - it is adequate but displays very little. directions, speed, not much else. My 2020 Avalon Hybrid Limited has a much better HUD
I wish that. Lexus would have embraced the idea of a "home" screen e.g. like nav, audio, and phone on one screen, but Lexus only displays one thing at a time: NAV or audio or Car Play
If you are able < would recommend the 18-inch tires over the 20-inch. In 2022 you had to get 20 inches if you got other options. .
I am very happy with my 2022 Lexus NX 350h Luxury car and would buy it again. This is my fourth Lexus and my favorite luxury car.

Well Romer.... yes and no.
The ONLY reason I got a NX350h was the wife. Her Rav4 passenger seat was uncomfortable. ..... Yup, the only way to get a "more" comfortable seat was to buy a LIMITED Rav4. Screw Toyota... they wanted that to be the deciding factor. They deliberately knew what they were doing. I am relatively content w the NX. Its NOT a Lexus LS ride, its still a 4 banger 4 cylinder drivetrain, but its a notch above the Rav4.
My wife has a SC430, its superior to the NX platform, but, I am content w the NX overall. The handling is an issue for me, but I will adapt..

@websurfer This thread is about "Would you buy an NX 350h again" I think the thread has gotten off-topic somewhat comparing an RAV4 hybrid to an NX 350h. I actually have a 2022 RAV4 Hybrid Limited with the advanced technology package and the premium audio with NAV. My 2022 Lexus NX 350h Luxury has every option except the power-folding and heated rear seats. There have been many discussions already between the RAV4 and NX so I won't overly belabor that point except to say that some of the opinions on your thread about the RAV4 Hybrid Limited are incorrect and there are certain areas where the RAV4 excels over the NX.
Again I will say the 2022 Lexus NX 350h is a great car. ML is fantastic, 14 inch screen is great fast, and responsive, very quiet even with run flat tires, and gets more than adequate acceleration.

@midcow3 Sorry about that. I have a hard time deciding myself between the 2 vehicles. I should have rename the thread. I like power of the NX350h but the 2nd row space and cargo of the Rav4 Hybrid. Also, I like the larger 14" MM compared to the base one.

RAV4 Hybrid Limited
@midcow3 Sorry about that. I have a hard time deciding myself between the 2 vehicles. I should have rename the thread. I like the power of the NX350h but the 2nd row space and cargo of the Rav4 Hybrid. Also, I like the larger 14" MM compared to the base one.
According to tests by professionals, the RAV4 has slightly better acceleration (7.2 vs 7.6) and slightly higher mpg( 40 vs 39) The RAV4 has more normal buttons; some people like that. The RAV4 has a home screen. JBL sound is better than the standard NX sound system; not quite as good as ML. The RAV4 comes with a spare tire. It can use regular gas as recommended, rather than as minimum level on NX350h. RAV4 costs less, up to $15,000 OTD equally optioned. 3 adults in the back seat. Less ostentatious than NX; I gave my son a choice and he chose RAV4. Toyota/Lexas level 2.5 Safety Sense ( Lexus NX and Prius Safety Sense 3.0)\
Ability to switch speedometer from traditional analog to digital.
One negative on RAV4 which I don't understand it does not have wireless Car Play; you plug it in and Car Play works and a small screen, only 10.5 inches. Not as luxurious, not as high level of prestige.
From a true bottom-line cost perspective the RAV4 hybrid limited is the best choice. But based on pure hubris I went with Lexus NX 350h.
Peace to All
YMMV,

"This thread is about "Would you buy an NX 350h again" I think the thread has gotten off-topic somewhat comparing an RAV4 hybrid to an NX 350h." Midcow3 old friend...can't help but notice that you then add to the veering re: RAV4. And in an earlier post on this same thread you compare the NX350 to THREE other cars==clearly off topic. But it's okay. All in good faith.

Okay, some things to consider. The top-of-the-line Rav4 Hybrid limited seems to be better optioned and quieter than lesser RAV4 models. Make sure you test drive a limited with all options. The limited RAV4 is closer to NX350h in quietness, seat comfort, and road feel than lower-end RAV4s. Yes, Lexus is still better.
According to tests by professionals, the RAV4 has slightly better acceleration (7.2 vs 7.6) and slightly higher mpg( 40 vs 39) The RAV4 has more normal buttons; some people like that.

I have updated the thread so it's okay to compare vehicles on the original post.
Peace everyone.

midcow3– I was referencing your post Yesterday at 7:30 AM in which you compare the NX to3 different cars. Way before the thread drifted to the RAV4 stuff. Yet you today point out the thread has become a RAV4 comparison—off topic—but then go on at length about the RAV4. Hey—not a big deal. Just noting goose and gander stuff. Peace and health and all that.
