Nice colour, looks darker than the Mercury Grey.

[Marlinleg]

Just to add my new NX was next to this in the Lexus dealership I didn't buy it . If I could get into it I'd never get out 😂😂

Special airlift operation with a forklift truck will do the job. Nice little ride though...

About 50 NX?  Maybe that's why we can't get ours delivered!

Congratulations.

Looks very nice.  Same spec I've ordered, but with different exterior and interior colours.

Thanks for the info, all very encouraging and the Rav4 mpgs are fab. Well done Toyota / Lexus !

Picked mine up on the 1st September too. Already put 500 miles on the car and had little time to play with all the switches and buttons. Oh, so many. Day off work today to explore a bit and guess what? It's peeing down!

Very nice.  Striking colour!  What interior colour is that paired with?

[Harrier Man]

I went for the Dark Rose, fancied something different to black/charcoal. I didn't really consider how it might look with the red. Fortunately, I like it! But accept that it is not everybody's taste. Some who pulled faces when I told them the combination now think it looks okay in the flesh. I'll post some pictures when it stops raining.

Good to know as I've ordered the Dark Rose interior too (albeit with the Terrane Khaki exterior).  Like you, just fancied a change from the black that I've had in probably the last 3-4 cars I've had.

I'll look forward to seeing the pictures - thanks.

[Harrier Man]

Promised shots of the interior. I won't be offended if you don't like it with the red exterior!

I think the combination looks fine with the red interior, not seen this colour in real life, thanks for sharing.

On a personal note, I have only ever purchased and owned black cars since 2004, and I have a black NX350h on order too. Prior to that I had 3 red cars 🚘,  all of them kindly written off for me by 3 idiot drivers. 

P.S. I am not superstitious !

 

[Marlinleg]

red cars written off 😫😫😫

I am not superstitious 😂😂😂😂😂

I like the red interior 👍
