Reviewed by Which in 2014, they said, "The Lexus NX complies with emission limits in official tests. However, when faced with our own, more realistic emission tests, the amount of CO (carbon monoxide) produced was so vast that it would not only fail all EU emissions limits set this century, but the Euro 1 limits from 1992 - despite it being a hybrid." I knew this before I bought mine in 2019 and it didn't put me off. I also wrote to Which to ask them to retest as there have been a few tweaks since then. Looks like they never did, so still quote this fact all the time. ☹️

Totally agree.

I've definitely had EV mode at 50mph - I don't think it's that unusual. Depends on circumstances.

If you check out the earlier parts of this thread, you will see that no one so far has reported a cat theft from an NX, probably because the cat is so difficult to get to (see all the diagrams and discussion). On the RX it's easily accessible and aided by the height of the vehicle. I don't worry any more as I have an NX.

What model do you have? If an NX you really have nothing to worry about. If an RX you probably need to take precautions.

Chuffed to bits with my Android Auto upgrade on my NX 2019. Having Google Maps displaying satellite view is fabulous. It suggests destinations based on where I've been before at similar times, and having to plug it in when I get in the car is simply not any sort of issue at all. Much prefer Google Maps to Waze (also owned by Google) as, like someone else has said, it is too cartoon like for me. Google Maps remains the original and best Android map system.

Really helpful! Cheers 👍

Undoubtedly spot on. Looks need to be kept for the next gen, perhaps even crisper, but the drivetrain needs a nice more-performance, better-economy improvement as per RAV4. I have no doubt this is exactly what it will get! 🙂

Thanks - I need to check for this, though I did look before and couldn't find anything I thought was "P"-related! 😊 - which I had thought was odd at the time!

Having said that, if I'm wrong, do please let me know! 🤔

It's really irritating - you can switch off the "Assist" part, so it doesn't brake for you but the sensors still insist on trying to assist you! And the warning message comes back 10 seconds after you "acknowledge it". 😡

You can't!

My car's in at this very moment having 4 sensors replaced.... will see...

Seriously?! In the metal bodywork!? I wouldn't be happy... 😱

Great to discuss these things. Will do and I'll be back in touch 👍

I hear what you say! I just can't help feeling that heavy water pressure is involved in some way, it's really the only explanation. Bearing in mind, I went from having no issues to having 3 sensors all misbehaving simultaneously... Just doesn't make sense...

Will certainly keep you updated on how things go. 👍

It's making me think... I recently (and I mean at the last wash a week ago) applied a few sprays of Autoglym Ceramic Coating to the car.... first time I've used it... Surely it can't have been that!? I'm currently in South West Wales experiencing some dreadful weather and each time I go out, I now have front left, left centre and right centre sensors going nuts... detecting things that aren't there and generally causing a complete nuisance of themselves. I've had to turn off the auto-braking lest it should try braking me with a false positive - I've had "BRAKE" appear a few times already 😩 Unfortunately I don't have a silicon spray with me but when I get home (also Wales before anyone says anything!) I'll be drying the sensors and giving it a try. I have to say that I can totally see that if water gets round those little rubber ring seals, it probably would cause a problem and I imagine silicon or Vaseline might stop that, as long as you're not locking any water inside.

And? Has the silicon worked again?

Thank you, will certainly give this a try 👍

Mine too! 😂

Sorry, Malcolm can you clarify please "Vaseline fix"? This problem has occurred on my 2019 NX the last two days, and it's driving me mental, seemed to start when the car got splashed with dirty water by a passing lorry in rain, now it won't go away (just for a few minutes at a time) and if it wasn't for the great big amber warning light that you can't get rid of, it wouldn't be so bad!! Any of you other guys found a permanent fix for this yet?? My dealer is 65 miles away and the last thing I want is repetitive visits to get it sorted...

I would think that was highly likely at 111mph+ !!! I don't think anyone in the UK will be able to confirm the figures though as the speed limit here is 70mph... The NX is approx. 2 tons in weight without cargo, so takes a lot to lump it around - at very high speeds like that, there'll be barely any electric motor involvement. Very high speeds are not conducive to good mpg.

Really!? You see that many?? I see another NX every blue moon where I live.

Ha ha, you really thought main beam assistance was just switching main beam on and off, didn't you!? 😁😀😁
