Brand New: The new LexusUK NX 350h promises comfort, practicality and plenty of luxuries while keeping your fuel bills down💪 We've driven one to see how good it is
The main difference is that you don’t plug the 350h into a power source to charge it up. As a regular hybrid, it charges itself on the move and therefore has a smaller battery – and a considerably shorter electric-only range – than the PHEV.The NX 350h comes with an EV Mode button that allows you to tickle along in slow-moving traffic on battery power alone.
The transition between power sources is slick and reasonably quiet right up until the moment you ask the 350h to accelerate quickly. Putting your foot down hard sends the petrol engine revving high as the car accelerates, and the revs only start to subside when you ease off. This behaviour – due to the CVT automatic gearbox – can be a little jarring because the engine sounds rather coarse and channels vibrations up through your feet.
In range-topping Takumi trim , the NX rides on large, 20in alloy wheels and doesn’t get the adaptive suspension of the F-Sport model, but aside from the odd thump over larger abrasions, the ride is surprisingly comfortable. Although this is in no way a ‘sporty’ SUV, it generates plenty of grip in bends and the steering is natural and consistent enough to give you confidence on a winding country road.The interior of the NX 350h is pretty much indistinguishable from the 450h’s.
