Thanks Ivan - that sounds more reassuring. May I ask - when did you place your order? I'm just seeing if your "timeline" is similar to mine.

I have the exact same date for delivery of my NX350h (Sonic Grey; Black\Rich cream interior; Premium Plus pack). This was an order that I placed back in early September. I'm sceptical about this date though due to the ongoing supply chain issues and other factors, although I have read that Toyota are saying that they plan to return to full production capacity in December. Also, the Lexus Link app is still just showing "Order in progress" - I would have thought that if that delivery date (only 7 weeks away) was to be achievable it would have moved onto "Build in progress" at least. Or maybe I'm just being pessimistic. I'm going to give my dealer a call early next week to see if they have an update.

All the best Ed with the new car. I bet Friday can't come quickly enough 🙂 I know how satisfied you were with the NX so hopefully the RX will be just as good, if not better.

If memory serves me correctly, it was the sport seats.

The one I saw at Lexus Woodford was white.

@Rabbers - Thanks for putting your thoughts on the new NX into words - very interesting and probably took longer to type than the actual test drive 🙂 I'm glad to hear that you were impressed with it - every review I have read or viewed so far has reinforced my belief that I made the right choice in ordering one early "sight unseen". Time will tell though I guess. They just need to get a move on and start building it.

I have the exact same specification (Luxury with Premium Navigation) registered in July 2018 and was able to have the Android Auto\Apple CarPlay retrofit installed successfully.

My 2022 NX order is currently still slated for delivery in mid-January (which I always felt was optimistic) however when I last spoke to the guy at the dealers who is handling my order he said that it was very likely to slip into February or even March. He also said that they don't expect to get one for themselves to use as a demonstrator until January. He told me that anyone ordering a 2022 NX now will have to wait until April at the earliest (probably meaning May or June in reality).

Hi @Herbie I can't offer any specific advice about the Grom device itself. What I would say though is that Android 8 is quite an old OS (as you know Android 11 is the current one but Android 12 is just round the corner for the most recent phones\devices) so you may find that the providers of the apps you would like to run on the device (e.g. Google Maps; Waze; etc.) may withdraw support for their apps on such a relatively old OS (if they haven't already). My advice would be to check that your desired apps can run on Android 8 first before considering buying the Grom. Hope this helps.

Hi Craig. I believe that the connection between the Lexus Link app and any new orders is via your email address so it might be worth checking that the email address that you are using to log into the app and the one that Lexus hold for the actual order is the same. FYI (in case you were not aware) - the status of new orders on the app is found via the "My Garage" section - this can be accessed by selecting the icon found on the top right of the app's Home screen (looks a bit like a house); then select the "Purchased" tab. Alternatively you can also check the status of any order via the following website so it might be worth checking there also. https://www.lexus.co.uk/my-lexus/ Hope this helps.

It does indeed.

So I went to Lexus Woodford this morning and saw the new NX. It was a 450h F Sport in white with the red/black interior. It was left-hand drive (had German number plates stacked away in the boot) so obviously it's not a proper dealership demonstrator. Like @Linas.P has suggested it could be a car that's going to do a tour of the dealerships around the country. I must say that it looks even better "in the flesh" and does look very nice in white with the black F Sport wheels and exterior trim. Had plenty of time to check it out. Was even able to fire it up and sample the delights of the new Infotainment system with the 14" screen which looks amazing.

I too got the text message from Lexus Woodford (my local dealer with whom I have the order for the 350h) regarding the viewing today (27th) so will be popping along later today to take a look. Will be interesting to see what "variant"/specification of the NX they have on show.

I have a 2022 NX350h on order with a current delivery date of mid-January (not very likely I know given the current state of affairs but I can at least dream 😀) so have been checking out provisional offers on trading in my current 2018 model (with 28k miles on it). I was pleasantly surprised to receive online valuations from both Cazoo and webuyanycar of around £27k (obviously sight unseen but I doubt that they will find too much wrong with the car for that valuation to be reduced by much). Seeing that I paid £31k for it in July 2019, that means it has depreciated by only £4K in that time which I think is very good. I wish I could take advantage of those offers now but as the new NX isn't available I'll need to sit it out. I'll be interested to see what the valuations are when the time comes and also what Lexus might offer me in part-exchange.

Take a look at the recent YouTube videos that car reviewers have posted about the new NX. I'm sure that one or two that I have watched have compared the ride quality to the outgoing model - quite favourably if I remember correctly.

"Bouncers Dress To Impress" - apply sparingly with a microfibre cloth and allow to dry.

Looks like a number of independent YouTube car reviewers have now managed to get their hands on the new model - at least in the US. The US Club Lexus forum has a topic dedicated to some of these:- https://www.clublexus.com/forums/nx-2nd-gen-2022-current/974330-2022-nx-test-drive-vids-post-em.html

Just got back from an early morning trip to the M&S store in Cheshunt, Hertfordshire (the large one on the A10 for those that know it). There is a large Tesco's there too with a filling station. The queue of cars waiting to fill up was horrendous. The petrol station is located within the large parking area for both stores but even so the queues were creating havoc on the surrounding roads. It's crazy. Like others, I put a lot of the blame on the media who have been so irresponsible with their reporting. IMHO these media scare stories have got a lot worse since the advent of 24 hour TV news channels - they have to fill all that time so have to "stretch" and over-emphasise every story to the Nth degree (and repeat it every hour). Forget all that nuclear or cyber warfare - the easy way to get this country on it's knees is to add the words "however there's no need to panic buy" into any media report about potential shortages of essential items.

😀 For me it's a "nice to have" rather than a "must have". If my chosen equipment "pack" for the new NX (Premium Plus) included it then all and well good but I personally wouldn't be paying extra for it.

I was interested in the Digital Rear View mirror when compiling a preliminary wish list for my new NX and came across this video which explains what it can do:-

Same here. No noticeable difference in performance or MPG after two fill-ups with E10.

Hi @Steve Oliver I was just taking another look at the price list\brochure and it appears that you can get the panoramic roof on a 450h+ if you go for the non-F Sport version (with Premium Pack) and wondered if you were aware of that? Apologies if I've got the wrong end of the stick here.

Thanks for that Steve - very helpful and reassuring. Sorry to hear about the lack of the panoramic roof on the 450h. Thanks also to @ColinBarber for clarification on the Sonic Grey colour too.

Thanks again Colin. Yeah, I've just posted the same on the other MY2022 NX thread. That's a relief to have that confirmed.

Having now had a chance to peruse the available colours and trim in the published price list (https://lexus.turtl.co/story/13504003_all-new-nx-price-list/), I wonder whether the Cloudburst Grey colour is in fact available but has been named differently for the UK as Sonic Grey. Will need to clarify this with my dealer and report back.
