Thumbs up 2024 NX 350 AWD F-Sport is quite impressive!

I was recently looking at the new 2024 Lexus NX 350 AWD F-Sport while my GS 450h was being serviced. It was fully loaded and quite impressive. Window sticker price was $59k.

I really like the interior, the console, the door latches and the panoramic moonroof, and the HUD, plus all the latest technology like wireless charging and wireless Apple CarPlay and the nice 9.8 inch Touchscreen display, which I actually like better than the 14 inch display in the hybrid model. Of course the Mark Levinson Sound system! I was glad to see you can get illuminated door sills which adds a nice touch and it even has a dropdown compartment for sunglasses!

I like the exterior styling and the nice frontend, the Triple Beam headlights and cornering lights and the nice taillights - and the fact the front F-Sport brake rotors are not 2-piece rotors like the GS F-Sport has that I suspect the brake pads will last longer too. I'm not wild about the F-Sport gloss black wheels, but they're okay to set it apart from a non-F-Sport model.

I hope the 8-speed transmission is a good match for the 2.4L Turbo engine and it doesn't have a tendency to 'hunt' for the best gear like some transmissions tend to do..

275 horsepower is pretty darn good from a 2.4L Turbo with 6.6 second 0-60 mph quickness, but I hear the boost can be bumped to get an additional 40 hp out of it.

I didn’t know that you could get ML with the 9” screen. I was under the impression it only came on the 14”

Yes, this F-Sport with a 9.8 inch touchscreen display has the Mark Levinson premium audio system.

It would be unusual for Lexus not to offer a Mark Levinson premium audio system in one of their most optioned-out models.

The 14" infotainment screen comes with the ML audio system. The cost should say $2125.

Correct - the cost adder for the Mark Levinson premium audio in the NX 350 AWD F-Sport with a 9.8 inch touchscreen display is $2,125 as well.

That $2125 includes the 14" screen not 9.8" screen. The window sticker will say 9.8 but the ML option overrides that. That car has a 14" screen.

I did not realize that!

Having looked at both this NX F-Sport and a NX hybrid model it just looked to me like the hybrid's touchscreen was larger. Maybe I was thinking about yet another Lexus model I looked at. It's really strange that Lexus would fail to get the window sticker label correct on this standard equipment item.

The window sticker is correct. The 14" screen on that model is an option and goes with the ML option. Go on the web to lexus.com and do a build on that model and it will give you the standard and options and what goes with each option.

That is not the entire window sticker, it’s missing the far right side which shows all the options and prices of what is specd on that vehicle.

NEW 2024 LEXUS NX PLUG-IN HYBRID ELECTRIC VEHICLE 450h+ LUXURY

is the one that doesn't come with ML for the Luxury model as an option. Maybe it uses too much power.

Yes, I'm fully aware of that.

The far right side of the window sticker was not needed to show that a 9.8 inch touchscreen display - and not a 14 inch touchscreen display - was on the vehicle's standard equipment window sticker list. Price was never mentioned as a factor in whether a 9.8 inch or a 14 inch touchscreen display came with a Mark Levinson premium Audio system.

Price is not a factor in whether a 9.8 inch or a 14 inch touchscreen display came with a Mark Levinson premium Audio system according to the window sticker on a 2024 NX 350 AWD F-Sport. If the car really has a 14 inch touchscreen display then Lexus should correct their window sticker.

Again... the window sticker will tell you what the standard items are but some standard items will change depending on the option that are installed. ML is mentioned as an option and that option also includes the 14" screen.
