Lexus NX 350h 2022 UK review: Demands close consideration, despite a lack of driver appeal and so-so space, because it impresses for refinement, drivability, on-board tech and more
The car’s new ergonomically optimised control layout is a real tribute to Lexus, as is the tactile quality of the vast majority of its dashboard fittings. Our F-Sport-spec test car had a little too much gloss black plastic on its centre console to avoid picking up smudgy fingerprints, but its new 14.0in Lexus Link Pro touchscreen multimedia is well laid out, responsive and intuitive to use.
When the car has to climb steeply or speed up more quickly, the powertrain has to resort to that old, slightly wheezy, outboard-motor-cum-three-speed-food-mixer performance routine, albeit only for a few seconds. The inevitable sense of mechanical detachment discourages you from summoning the car’s performance for the sake of it, even though there’s plenty of it available.
The ride offered the understated connected road feel that an interested driver might want but still filtered broken Tarmac well most of the time – although it did become fiddly and felt brittle over really complex surfaces. Without the sportier suspension, though, I strongly suspect that the regular NX 350h would be a very comfortable car.Lexus says most people who buy an NX F-Sport will do so for the looks rather than the boosted driving dynamism.
