I have a 2016 NX which has the basic navigation system and it looks like the sat nav has never been updated. After reading it seems like it nat be a dealer only option? Has anyone recently updated the older system, if so at what cost, is it as unto date as the later models are and show the newer roads, or is it a "Sorry after 2020 we don't offer updates?" Many thanks.

Well a small update on my views. Lovely car to drive holds the road great, fantastic pick up the sat nave etc is so much better than in my RX, love the "Hey Lexus" except when the wife is messing with it.Range on it was good, over 120 miles and still over half full. Didn't like the seats in the Takumi but that just my choice, head height getting in was too low but the big thing for me is that I couldn't get my fishing tackle in the boot as easy as the RX. Overall a good weekend with it, the electric side of things was no issue, loved the looks of the outside bit the inside I found a bit bland . Would I buy one, no as it isn't large enough in the boot for me. I am now looking at the Plug in RX, yes it only has around 40 miles on a charge but that would suit most of my daily driving, but it is the cost of changing for very little extra, maybe I will wait a while longer before I take the plunge. Thank you all for your inputs into this thread, most appreciated.

Well I have picked the car up this morning and it drives fantastic very impressed. It is the Takumi that I have the use of for a couple of days and so far the only thing I don't like about it is the seats, much prefer the leather in my RX and the head height getting in is lower. I will be giving it a full run around this afternoon and tomorrow but so fat it is good.

I assume that it should have been fitted with the locking nuts from the factory? I can't understand how they can't get a set until the end of the year a bit of a basic item I would have thought, then inky one key, has one broken or did it only come with one at handover? These little things make you wonder if Lexus are slipping in their service?

So 180 miles is about right for motorway driving.

I would expect around 180 miles as a realistic number, most of my driving is around town these days with only the occasional motorway use. If going any distance I understand the need to factor in charging but this would fit in with comfort stops. Gone are my days of needing to get everywhere as fast as possible.

Thank you John most appreciated. I will try and press for a charger from Lexus then. I am looking forward to a couple of days with the car so I can give it a good test before I decide.

I was in my local dealership yesterday just checking on the new UX we are collecting on 1st is all as expected so I thought I would have a look at the RZ (The UX is for the wife, fair swap I thought). I have to say I was quite impressed in the short time I was looking over it, so much so I am borrowing one next weekend for a couple of days. I know very little about electric vehicles and am unsure if it is time to get into them yet or wait a little longer? My first silly question (I am sure there will be loads of them) is about charging them at home, is there a charger that is supplied with the vehicle when you buy one or would this be an additional cost on top of the vehicle? I have owned 6 other Lexus vehicles over the last few years so I am a little brainwashed towards the brand and especially the service I get from our dealer but I have read most of the posts on the forum and there are a few worrying things with the RZ, Build Quality, Charging Problems, Lack of knowledge by technicians when thing go wrong, but I like to make my own mind up. I have a 2021 RX at the moment and the insurance on it is going silly even having had the security modification on it, I have been quoted between £1200-£3900 to insure it when it only cost £600 last year. Going to be an interesting journey I think.

Well I have had an email and call from Lexus Customer Relations today and also from my dealer, my car is now all booked in for the fitment of the plates next week, they are collecting the car on Wednesday for me. I spoke to them about the UX and they say that with production changes as far as they are aware the software criminals are using at the moment is ineffective, but there is always someone who wants to ruin your day. I am pleased Lexus are actually doing something about this problem and hopefully they will be informing insurance companies this is the case.

I also emailed them yesterday and as I expected not come back to me at all. Not impressive when I have a brand new UX for the wife we are collecting in 4 weeks time.
