Default Overall 2022 350h satisfaction?

Just curious how everyone likes their 350h? 1-10 satisfaction? Things you would change? Things that you like the most? Things that are annoying? Interior rattles etc?

My 350h has been solid mechanically with no rattles or squeaks. Did have CarPlay connection issues initially that are mostly resolved now after the last software update. Loving the nearly double the mpg from my previous RX with not much difference in performance. Giving it a 9 out of ten.

I give my NX 350h premium with the 14 inch screen and 18 inch tire a 9.5 After 1000 miles the car is solid and smooth ride with no mechanical issues or rattles. The best thing I like about this NX is that the average mpg from my second tank of gas was 41.9 mpg calculated manually. The car mpg said 42.3 mpg. I am averaging 40.3mpg on the third tank of gas. I am driving with a light foot during this break in period.

I had random issues with my profile loading up and not able to set up my digital key at first. But the dealer was able fix some Of the profile issue. Then after I downloaded the software update, I am not having any more issues.

I love the infotainment system. Am able to use Lexus maps, apple maps and google maps. The voice commands work well.

I really like the intuitive parking assist and the fact that the mirrors tilt downwards when I back up is cool. The lighted door handles at night are a nice touch.

Couple things I am not crazy about is the thematic ambient lighting. It is not as noticeable as I thought it would be.

I think the rear of the car is so so. I wish there were some more silver or chrome in the bumper area.

when parking in a tight spot my brakes can be grabby.

but these things are minor. The cars positives far outweigh any negatives. So yeah I am very happy with my first Lexus.

You and me both! I was impressed by the test drive at least. Can’t wait to put some miles on mine.

I’d rate my 350h experience a 9.5.
Rides great, comfortable, quiet, great mpg, mostly in 40’s to 50’s in local driving. Still less than 600 miles on vehicle so need more time to fully respond.
Still trying to get used to all the electronics (73 so tech stuff still confusing at times). Have the base model, 9.8” screen, which is more than enough for me.
Hope to enjoy this vehicle for many years.

I rate my 350h 10 out of 10 after 1600km of trouble free driving. The NX is quiet, comfortable and rattle free. Gas mileage is incredible for how heavy the vehicle is and I am consistently getting better than rated mpg in the city.

I’m really happy that LexusQ started this thread. Too many recently started threads are about problems that could have been resolved with a little User Manual reading. Real owner experiences and assessments give those of us still awaiting delivery a strong sense that we made the right decision and that the wait will be worth it.

I think the majority of the issues people have are the driver profile and connectivity. Personally I have yet to encounter any such issue. I have my iPhone setup with the apps and linked my key to my profile. The car loaded my profile every time I get in without any glitch.

I love my 350h Premium. I thought the drive was nice until I got rid of the run flat tires but now with regular tires the drive is noticeably quieter. I get the odd bug where I have to reset the time but I'm hoping the next update will fix that. definitely a 9 out of 10.I have to take a point off due to the fact that it sometimes feels like a Rav4 when the engine gets noisy and not in a good way when I accelerate.

What tires did you get for your 2022 NX? Also 18 or 20”? Thanks.

I actually went with 19s. I felt it was the sweet spot. Good balance of looks and comfort.

10 out of 10 for my NX350h. Just over 1,000 miles on the clock.

It's refined and comfortable; drives very well and looks great. No rattles or issues so far. It even loads my profile

Things I love about it:-
  • the 360 Panoramic View camera - this is the first car that I have owned with it and I don't know how I managed to get by without it before
  • the HUD and associated steering wheel controls - very convenient and easy to use once you've got used to them
  • the power hatch - again, never had a car with that before
  • even more refined than my previous NX
  • currently getting 45mpg (with mixed driving)
Things I wish it had:-
  • wireless Android Auto - this isn't (yet) an option in the UK, not sure why but may be a licensing issue. I believe that wireless functionality is available for Apple CarPlay but I have no intention of going to the dark side
  • the ability for Google Maps step by step directions (via Android Auto) to be shown in the HUD
  • some kind of indicator in the HUD when the car has automatically switched to EV mode
  • brighter ambient lighting - you can barely see it unless it's near total darkness outside
All of the above are trivial matters (and some may be resolved over time with software updates) and in no way spoil my total satisfaction with the car so far.

I am very pleased with my current NX350h but wish I chose higher trim. Back the time I had to pick whatever available due to their lack of the inventory and the timing of my leased car return. any more add-ons/customization would lead to another 3 month wait. what they said, like, Life Doesn't Always Go According To Plan...lol
