Had an NX courtesy car yesterday whilst the GS was in for a bit of work and it occurred to me that I can’t for the life of me think why anyone would buy one over a GS. Especially as the list price is only £1,250 less than the GS. The NX appears to be one of Lexus’s best sellers whilst the GS is the worst (other than the LS). I was very disappointed with the equipment level compared to my GS and the overall quality didn’t seem as good either. Some of the switches and plastics appeared to be much lower in quality. The seats were a great disappointment with. Whereas the GS has 18 way adjustable seats with 3 memories for both the driver and passenger the NX only has 8 way adjustment and one memory for driver only. I also thought the overall design of the GS interior felt classier. However, that is purely subjective. The two other key areas where the GS surpasses the NX is the ride quality and handling. Both far superior in the GS and the GS has Sports + on top of the other three driving modes. I could not believe the fuel consumption of the NX either. It averaged in the high 30’s whereas mine averages high 40’s. That’s would end up much more expensive with the miles I do. I really do believe the GS is a hidden gem. I also like the fact that it’s pretty uncommon too. Or it could be I’m highly biased!
