Thanks @Ken R i went today to Lexus in Guildford and test drove a NX300H 2020 Premium Pack. It was really good the drive and very much enjoyed the car! The car had on it 37mpg so looks quite good. I am still in two minds though.. the price is holding me back. It’s around £34k for it and the dealer wouldn’t offer any price reduction or freebies at all. It was ‘this is the price, and that is that’. I guess it’s cause the used car market is so popular right now they know they can sell it without issues. The only thing holding me back now is thinking if I should wait a year for the used car market to fall in prices again, but I guess this could be a gamble either way. Also the car I test drove didn’t have the heads up display or 360 camera etc.. I think that is only the Premier spec. This was a CVT with Premium Pack. I am now thinking over my options… 😀

Thanks guys! I won’t worry too much then about the mpg. It is a bigger car after all and like you said best not run in EV mode, just let the system work it out

I was going to ask.. what are you getting on mpg in the real world? Lexus on the website says around 50mpg but every review I read they are saying it is more like 35mpg… for a hybrid I was thinking that kinda sucks.. but I guess the car is really big. Also I think the EV mode on the hybrid is only good for about 1 mile driving before petrol engine is needed I was reading..

Thanks all! Going to go see them later today so will report back on this 🙂

So I am going tomorrow to look at the NX300H they have in stock at main dealer. I was looking at maybe getting a 2020 model which is £35k and use PCP. Has anyone got a Lexus on PCP before here and is it worth it? I was thinking about using PCP for two years then try swap for a newer model. But as I need to use a bit of a large deposit of £11k I am wondering if it would be worth it or just pay it off at end with bubble..

Awesome info thanks guys! I think I will need to have a chat with the Lexus dealer. I have a budget around £25k so looking at the prices now I think the 2018 might be best fit. Id prefer the 2018 facelift etc.

@NDP Many thanks for the reply and all the info! Things I have been reading online are exactly as you said regarding the facelift and some added cosmetic extras in the 2018 model. I was definitely looking at getting from a Lexus main dealer. I am really hoping the prices fall a bit though next year. I was looking at getting it after Christmas but doing my research now. I currently own a BMW, but with two dogs there is no boot space so the dogs have to go on back seats. I really like the look of the Lexus NX300H as you get the hybrid as well. My partner had a Toyota Yaris and she loves that! I think I will try and push myself into the 2018 model though if I can get a good deal.

I am actually not a Lexus owner (yet) but I am looking to buy a used NX300H in the next few months. Is there anything I should look out for / be aware of when buying? I was looking at maybe getting the 2016 or 2018 year depending on prices… is newer year always better? Not sure what extra things you get better with the 2018 compared to 2016 years.
