I'll be replacing my 2016 Honda CR-V that was totaled by someone running the red light a couple of weeks ago. (Air bags deployed on the driver side, between that and the front left suspension and body damage, it would have been $25k to repair.) So with the payout their insurance is paying me, I'm putting that towards the NX 350h, I've already got my $500 deposit in at the local Lexus dealership and everything.
I've looked into the Toyota RAV4 a bit first, but I've ultimately decided I wanted the Lexus more. A co-worker of mine has had a couple of Lexus cars and really loved them, and while the NX 350h I looked at the dealership was already sold, I still got to look at it and see what it had to offer. The Mark Levinson system and the heads up display (I'm a fan of the HUD since my 2014 Camaro 2LT has one) were one of the selling points for me, as well as going to a hybrid.
I'm still probably going to have to wait a few months, but I'm excited.

My 450H+ replaced my 2018 RX450H. The RX was a good vehicle but I'd have to say the MPG was not as advertised, at least the one I had. Driving it very conservatively (and I mean like granny), I would get 27-28mpg. My wife, on the other hand, could not get over 26mpg, but then she's a lead foot..lol.
Anyway, my NX450H+ is leaps and bounds better than my old RX.

450h+ replaced 2021 4unner trd pro prem. I was lucky if I got 15mpg. I actually 1st looked at rav4 prime but everyone wanted 10k over msrp. Lexus just wanted msrp and I was able to sell the 4runner for 1k over the original purchase price

I wish we had more feedback like this one. If I can ever get an NX 350 F Sport loaded with F Sport Luxury pkg and ML (none to be found) it would be my first SUV and I’m also not sold yet (on any suv) I also had an IS350 sedan and have a BMW 335 sedan so I’m afraid I’d miss the sports car handling. Yet I’m getting older and want the step in height of an SUV. Still debating X3 with sport pkg or NX 350 F sport.
I was lucky to order a fully loaded F-Sport Luxury w/ML which I just picked up last month & it's the first car I ever owned with almost all options available. It makes the transition to an SUV a little easier, especially with the ML system.

I’m replacing a Mercedes GLC 220 AMG Line (It’s a UK option pack with fancy wheels, infotainment, satnav, sunroof etc.) with an NX 450h+.
I’ve been very impressed with the Mercedes. I’ve spent the past year driving between UK and Germany and all over Austria and Northern Italy with lots of paddle board gear, my wife and a large Labrador. One of the big selling points was that we could get two Labradors in the back and still have space for all our gear.
Leasing price on the GLC 300e, the equivalent to the NX, is more expensive so I’m giving Lexus a try. It’s the same size as the GLC

In a week or so I will replacing our (but primarily my wife's) 2011 Lincoln MKX Limited with a NX 350h executive package. There's nothing much wrong with the MKX and it's been a good relatively luxurious vehicle since new and with only 202k kms, I probably should have kept it a few more years. I think I got a bit caught up in the current panic car buying frenzy. Sigh.
I've always purchased new and at 13 years of age, this will be quickest I've ever replaced a vehicle (with the exception of one accident victim).

2018 NX300 F Sport which was leased (my 2nd NX lease). Lease was over and Carmax bought out my lease so I pocketed a good chunk of change however it went right back into the new 2022 NX 350 F Sport as there is currently no incentives in NYC for this car.

Our NX replaced a 2016 Mustang. Loved the car at first, but 400 horsepower was not enough to deal with the rattles that started soon after purchase. The rust on the hood of a Southern driven car after 5 years was the deal breaker for keeping it any longer.
