Default Advice on used NX hybrid purchase

I want to purchase a used NX hybrid and am wondering about the differences between the 2022, 2023 and 2024 models- Pros and cons of the different years?

I currently drive a 2007 RX 400h and am ready for modern technology!

Thanks

Some of the options changed between the packages, standard equipment, Canada/US, etc. I don't recall any real changes, except the suspension is supposed to be damped a bit more side to side '24+. Simply find the one you want.

Keep in mind there is a traditional hybrid and a plug in hybrid. The traditional has about 2 miles at 30 mph EV and about 36-42 xway and 45 rural mpg; I don't track city mpg very often at all, sorry. The plug in has 300hp and supposed to be 40 miles EV; others may chime in with more accurate experiences.

The NX350h has a newer, lighter, more efficient hybrid system, but it still functions pretty much exactly like the one in your RX400h, so from that perspective you should find the experience quite familiar. The 22 to 24 model years have very little changes. The '22 as a first year of the redesign had a few minor issues (flakey wireless chargers, shaky door mirrors, glitchy infotainment), but there have been some updated parts made available (better charger, better mirror supports, software updates to infotainment) so nothing to be overly fearful of. As bt10 said, the '24MY apparently had a suspension update, but I've not seen any technical details, just a Lexus press release in early '23 saying they made some changes. Press releases tend to be more grandiose than reality so the extent of the change is probably minor.
