I am getting an NX450. I will be trading in a GS350. Will there be any savings on the scheduled service costs done by the Lexus dealer?

I doubt any of the Canadian owners have got through servicing the 450 yet... maybe the first inspection, but that's free.

Yea I am only touching 3000km on mine, but can update whenever i get to service later on...

Theoretically less wear and tear on things like brakes, but based on the maintenance manual they're doing all the same things (and a few more such as cleaning the battery coolant filter) that I've seen in my pure ICE Lexus cars, so I'd expect similar pricing. I'm curious if there's a way to tell how much ICE mileage vs. electric motor mileage a car has driven so you can delay oil changes.....the manual mentions the car may prompt you for an early one, but the maintenance schedule shows 10K miles/12 mos intervals for those regardless of ICE miles.

That is interesting when you look at the maintenance interval based on the mileage. I think for most owners who don't exceed the EV range in their daily driving, then the ICE would get minimal usage. So the scheduled maintenance for the ICE is then based on time intervals.
Therefore the overall maintenance costs should be cheaper than my GS350.

Most maintenance is based on odometer readings; true the ICE should get less usage becuase of EV range. Maintenance costs vary depending on the mileage interval with 20K increments being more expensive than a simple oil/filter change.

I just got back from dropping my NX 450h+ at the dealer for the first recall (spot weld check). I asked them about the cost for maintenance/service on my car. Here is what they told me:
5K and 10K service - No Charge
15K and other 5K services (25K, 35K, etc.) are mostly just inspections - $200
20K service - $441
30K service (major) - $748
120K service (tune-up) - $1,000
These prices look fairly reasonable to me (when compared to servicing my Porsche)
