I have a 2022 NX450H which did the same thing to me - flat battery with no warning and entrapping me for a while till I managed to find the non electric way of opening the door. Not a pleasant experience at all. Fortunately it happened in a quiet car park with friends who came to my assistance but even they were concerned about getting me out of the car. It was raining heavily and the windows stopped functioning too. The AA appeared after 3 hours, connected a boost to the battery and all was well. But why did it happen? Since my last computer upgrade visit to the garage, I noticed that all the heating appliances such as seats and steering wheel switch on automatically until I switch them off. I had also been on the phone for the short run, hence battery would have been draining. I never had this problem with my last car, Porsche Macan which certainly had a bigger battery. Is Toyota skimping on the battery? A low battery warning light would have been helpful. As my partner said it could have been grievous if it was a fire or medical emergency and people couldn't get me out.
