Only tried it in an empty car park so I don't know yet!

I picked up my MY24 NX350h Takumi last week and been playing with all the options and settings and I noticed that under the Advanced Park setting you can turn the Remote Parking on or off. So a little search on the Android app store found the Toyota Remote Park Europe app downloaded it, and had a play. I can confirm it is fully operational with my vehicle, I can move it forward backwards turn left, turn right etc in or out of a parking spot etc, all with me standing outside the car. Nice to know that I could get my car out of a tight parking spot if someone parks too close stopping me from entering the car. Amazing technology. Do not know if it will work with MY22 / 23 cars.

28 mile journey this morning, 61.2 mpg, and I wasn't trying to be careful on fuel. I wonder if it is because mine is a MY24 with the improved driving prediction thingy ?

My NX350h is a MY24 spec, you can not do wireless AA, only with the USB cable, have tried.

Many thanks, will have a look.

Picked up my MY24 NX350h on Friday, so far no issues with the Lexus link app reporting on journeys etc. Fingers crossed.

My first trip to work this morning, Leicester to Birmingham, 54.2 MPG on A roads and Motorway, very pleased. What is that fuel used app that you have posted pics on here?

Over 50 mpg now is very good since Lexus only quote around 44 to 47 for the AWD version.

So 40 mpg in Feb to 50 mpg in July, a 25% increase, what would you mainly put that down to? Getting warmer? Car settling in? Your driving ? Oh and 64 mpg on a longer drive is fantastic!

My dealer emailed 3rd May to say in build but app only updated 9th May

Thanks Colin, appreciate your expert comments as always.

With only 19 miles on the clock I went out for a drive in my 2024 NX350h Takumi, almost 22 miles driven, mix of A roads, B roads, kept to speed limits 30/40/50/60. Totally amazed with the results as shown below. 60% of time in EV mode 50% of distance in EV mode And fuel consumption of 56.1 mpg, surpassed my expectations for what is a heavy SUV on 20" run flats. Outside temp was 20, using AC too. One just wonders what to expect when it has been "run in".

Thanks all for your comments, I am so pleased that I went for that colour combo.

Just collected my NX350h Takumi this afternoon, enjoyed the short ride home in the rain, already loving the car! Just a few pics for today.

My dealer sent me a 5 minute video going all around the car etc as it came off the transporter, so I just screen grabbed a couple of images to post on here. Picking it up tomorrow afternoon as I am away on holiday, so will post some pics the weekend.

Kevin, I stand corrected by you, I did not know about the VAT scheme for car traders for 2nd hand cars. I have been in business (engineering) for 25 years so only knew about the standard VAT system.

The difference between the dealer tax paid and tax collected would be £2,000 not £400. As a company you pay the difference between the two.

Just a thought:- If a dealer/trader 'buys' a car from you (or trade in?) for £10,000, they pay you £10,000 and £0 VAT, as you can not charge them VAT. If they then sell the car for £12,000, they are actually selling it for £10,000 plus 20% VAT of £2,000. The £2,000 VAT collected goes to the government, and the dealer ends up with not making a penny profit. They are a business and are in this to make money at the end of the day. I am not in the car trade, so I would appreciate any comments if I have got this wrong.

Many thanks, been a long wait and currently car less as sold my IS300h last weekend!

Sneaky view of Interior just off the car transporter. Now just waiting for PDI and F&R dash cams to be fitted.

My NX350h Takumi has finally arrived at the dealership this morning after 17 months since order.

Who did it? Was it Lexus?

Hi Deb, My IS300h had Black metallic paint and looked great. My NX350h (due any day now) is the Graphite Black metallic too. I have been offered the ceramic coating protection from my lexus dealer, but unsure as I have never seen a ceramic coated black metallic lexus before. So, in your opinion, how different does it look, and what cost / where did you have yours done? Michael.

My IS300h that I just sold had the original 12v battery from new in 2013, never had a problem, even going on holiday for 2 weeks several times. Must have been lucky.

I ordered 12th Feb 22, hopefully pick my car up next week. I really don't know why yours has not been built yet. Mine is a Takumi spec, which has the longest lead time due to semiconductor shortages etc.
