Hi Dell, i have noticed my car gets about 5% better mpg when using shell's E10 over a supermarket E10, i would say about 7-8% better when using E5 shell and slightly better pick up. But i think the optimum money v economy v pick up is Shell Standard E10. KR Vishi

56mpg impressive, do you use premium fuel. Regarding Sat Nav, it goes for the fastest option at the time. NX300h AWD only averages 38mpg in town and about 43 on a combined run. If you can get apple car play, i think its a retrofit, maybe available for a 2017 at ur lexus dealership, u could apple car/android auto waze to ur infortainment. Waze is very good tells u about broken down cars and the police, as well as speed cameras and mobile cameras.

2.5l NX's are in high demand on the used market, second fastest selling car (NX350h) and used 2018-19 models with 20k miles should fetch around 24k+ about 29k ish for a takumi, you couldn't buy a 2019 hybrid yaris for 9k with 20k miles on it. Report to FB, if you want, to stop people from getting scammed. or it could be 9k deposit- finance rest sort of thing. Or some sites not sure how fb mplace works charge listing based on value on car, so these lot put the real price in the description. Stick to Autotrader and reputable dealers, always HPI check, if you are paying a deposit, only pay with a credit card (the deposit, if everything checks out), any one not allowing credit card (retailers) are probably best to stay away from Stay safe out there! Theres a lot of these scams including (whilst this is a re-enactment, i'm sure scams along these lines do happen)

Lexus Replacement Warranty and Service Book — PZ471-S04GB-EN L (lexuspartsdirect.co.uk) going for shy of £15. Or phone up ur lexus dealership if u have one nearby. I would go for the latter option as you could get them to look at the digital service record and stamp retrospectively.

Hi Dave, thanks for getting back to me, I was just trying to establish what sort of prices they charged, i am willing to pay a small premium like 10%-20% to avoid a company like the insurance with the pirate cap, espescially as the car has factory optional extras.

Hi Bob, if you don't mind me asking how much did they charge. KR Vishi.

Hi Tony, out of interest how much is the insurance for your NX, with NFU. KR Vishi

Hi all looking to insure with NFU. Just wanted to start of by asking if they are any good. What sort of prices they charge for insurance, are they negotiable. I am looking for a NX300h in Harrow London, previous prices (other insurers: 2020- 440 2021- 400 2022-480) now quotes are 650+, but 750 once you add all the good stuff.

thanks for coming back to me, i will look into Chris Knott Ronnie, did you declare the prem sport edition as a mod, or is that not required. KR VR

Hi all, Looking to renew insurance for2020 NX300h Prem Sport: Back ground info: No claims convictions in last 5 years, 17 Yr NCD touchwood. 6k Miles a year social domestic commuting, we live in Harrow. Last Year policy was 480, this year the lowest is 650 mark, but most insurers are asking 800+. Looking at call to quote insurers. Is NFU insurance any good, and what sort of price are they asking.

The main reason however, as to why i went for the NX except for reliability, is that other brands such as Audi charge extra for rear curtain airbags(at least when i last checked on the Q5) , whereas i felt lexus whilst not generous with tech were not being crooked with safety, and at the time for 2k i could get the prem sport and all the tech i wanted bar the 360 cameras was there. I also get a feeling that the UK arms of car brands are not being good with car security, the amount of keyless go thefts are far too high and all it would take for them to eradicate the issue is by introducing a pin to drive system, just like unlocking your phone. What's your thoughts on pin to drive, teslas already have that. I know i've gone a bit off topic from the inital tyre suggestions apologies!

i get that for sure, but shoddy tyres could also make the difference between some1 buying one on a test drive and not, it hinders the NX reaching its ultimate ability, i get for example a brand like citoren/renault/nissan juke/dacia etc. it makes sense to fit the cheapest, as you dont have choice in the price point, but Lexus has the GLB,GLC X3, X4, Model Y, Q5, Macan, CRV, Sportage, RAV4, TIGUAN, e-pace, f-pace, evoque ... to contend with leaves a bit of a cheap taste, seeing as everything in the NX is perfect. I personally think that if they offered 360 camera (mid spec and above NISSANS, yes Nissans have had this since 2012 yet Lexus in 2023 makes you spend 14k extra to go to Takumi to get this) , better tyres, blind spot monitoring as standard on the lexus range their sales may be 2-3x higher in the UK. The penny pinching on the UX is a bit obvious the bonnet has a manual mount instead of a strut, offering no sat nav as standard, 10k mile service/1 y service intervals probably puts a lot of fleet managers off from buying these as rivals have 2yr/20k and cheaper service. Would you agree?

thanks all for that, I personally having done some more research wouldn't replace my tyres with Yokohoma as they got a D grade for fuel efficency and a C grade for wet handling, when there are other tyres for the same money such as continental/ bridgestone /good year with A and B ratings for the £140-£150 price range on asda tyres. Btw do use asda tyres, if you don't i find that its comparison service is always cheaper except against COSTCO, and it gets fitted at a local garage. Shame Lexus doesn't go for the other brands as standard.

might add, i know how it feels, literally the day we collected the car and parked it I was showing a relative (on the 1st of september) he noticed a nail in the tyre, luckily we were able to remove and the car has been to service twice with no issue. I think the nail was from, when we collected the car we went into an industrial estate right next to the dealership to get a feel for the brakes... as we had to join the motorway straight away, it must have been from there.

must have been annoying. Did they charge you an arm and a leg or was it market pricing, do you do high miles. Ours has only done around 8k miles and it turns 3 in september.

Yes, my insurance has gone up from 400 to 480 this year in Pinner in London, my old cars insurance was 230 (fully comp) it was a qashqai. , the prices should get better as until you reach around 65 then it increases, is what I have heard. Try adding friends or family who have licenses and a clean record for a long time if they consent as a named second driver this helps, but make sure you don't put them as the main as then insurers will wiggle out of paying. Your occupation also help doctors for example pay nearly double as compared to an accountant when they have newer licenses. However, even though it may be tempting when a black box insurer offers you a low quote do not go with them especially with an ES300h, as they will say you accelerated to fast, sped up .... and cancel your insurance, then you will have to declare to your new insurer that your old one got cancelled, that sends insurance through the roof, i have a friend who that happened to with a BMW 3 series.

Hi all, my nx has 18 inch wheels, was wondering what tyres you bought (non-budget) that gave a good mix of efficiency and handling, and did you notice an mpg increase over the standard yokohoma which comes with the car. How many miles did your tyres last you. i have also noticed my nx does not show tyre air pressure does your, or is it in a sub menu. Thanks in advance!

I actually do see a market for the LBX, yes it will cannibalize the UX sales a little bit, it will also be able to compete with the Audi A1, Audi Q2, BMW 1 Series , A Class (older A class buyers), those who don't company car buy. Those looking to part x a lexus CT but the UX is a bit too dear for them. I think they will sell well on the mobility scheme. I can see younger drivers liking the LBX, as the UK is more aimed at those in their late 30's, i see the LBX appealing to those with young families in their late 20's who may buy a juke but have deeper pockets. I personally would rather a new IS300h coming to the uk, but i guess this will do as well.

Hi guys, how much do you think the LBX will cost in the UK

Hi, thanks for that, what dealership group was it from e.g. steven eagell ...

btw it will email you a pdf of the quote and the benefits, wait for that then negotiate would be my advice.

Lexus Leeds, is offering 10%, my advice is get a quote from them then get your local dealer i assume guilford seeing as you live in surrey to match it, thats what im trying to do with the ones in london. https://www.vantagemotorgroup.co.uk/servicing/service-plans/

Also forgot to add if you are interested, get the Lexus Link app, it should show you the progress of your build, and once its in transit to the UK ask the dealer for the name of the vessel its on so you can track it if you are interested.

also out of curiosity what car are you changing from

Hi, welcome to the lexus club, i have had luck in the past getting free servicing thrown in with the car from steven eagell. Servicing costs have gone up nowadays. My NX took around 4 months back in 2020, its been a great car. Did you have to negotiate hard to get the discount or was it fairly easy, it was quite easy back in 2020, was able to get the 41k car for 34k , 2 years free servicing and £400 over auction value for the old car.
