I have the option to lock and unlock doors in the app on my NX, but maybe that is because it has the later security system in place? I also find closing the windows useful if I forget to do that after I get out of the car. Best of all I love geeking out on the Trip Summary.

It looks to me like Don has his screen in dark mode. Normal daylight mode has a white background, well at least that is how it is in my NX, so maybe that is where the confusion is?

Having owned a Gen 4 Prius for over 7 years before my NX, that behaved in the same way. You also have to remember that although the green dashboard EV light may be illuminated, it does not necessarily mean that it is actually being driven by the electric motors, it just indicates that the ICE is not running. It may be being powered by the electric motors, or it may just be coasting/light trailing throttle etc. I find the NX holds on to more of it EV battery level than my Prius did which would often go down do two bars in traffic, where as the NX so far has never been lower than half way. That may be due to extra regeneration from the rear electric motor which the Prius does not have. One of the first questions people ask me about Hybrids is how far it can go on electric. I have to explain a Hybrid is a very different beast to a full EV and is not primarily designed to run on EV, it can but only for limited periods of time, even then they still don't get it 🤨. Then the spot the EV button inside and say well what's that for then? and I say it enables me to get the car out of the garage to wash it without starting up the engine 😊

Providing the OP's car is a later 2023 with the updated headunit/software then all the information needed will be available in the Lexis Link+ app. Coming from a Prius which always gave an Eco score at the end of the journey I missed it on the NX. You get a brief summary at the end showing elapsed time, MPG for the journey and EV driving ratio, but no actual scoring. I was pleased that all of that was available in the app, plus the route taken... brilliant.

Yes they do negotiate on price. When you use CarWow it sends the details of the car you want to various dealers who then contact you by email and you decide which deal is best for you. When you go to your dealer you simply say you have a CarWow price and they pull it up on their system. I got a great deal on my NX, plus some extras thrown in too. I will add that I notice you are in Ireland, but I found this below… “However, our system may not recognise postcodes from: Republic of Ireland Isle of Man Guernsey Jersey If this is the case, we recommend using a UK postcode from a town which may be convenient for you to pick up your new car from or where you can sell your car from.” Whilst I would recommend them for purchasing I would not for selling. I had a terrible experience, but I did still get the price they promised for my Prius.

Mine does this too, it was just the same in my Prius.

I cannot get to my car right now, but if I remember it was using the car button on the central display, then it was door control or something like that. I have mine set to lock all doors when shifting into D and unlock when shifting into P. Don’t forget to also set open all doors instead of just drivers door.

If I am carrying passengers and I am just dropping them off I simply press the unlock button on my door to unlock all the doors. The car will then lock again as soon as I drive off. i have all my doors to unlock on pressing P, no need to open my door. So far everyone has worked out how to get out and I have taken the stickers off the buttons.

Glad your/our suspicions were correct, not ideal, but good they are putting things right.

As there are no alternative pressures for a full load I would/will leave them at the recommended pressures. To be honest I have never inflated tyres to anything other than driver and passenger and never experienced any issues.

I have mine set at 3mph above and find the bong very useful, especially driving in unfamiliar places. Have you tried turning down the volume for alerts as an alternative to switching them off every time?

I have not experienced this yet on my NX, but that would often happen on my Prius. I just think it's the Hybrid system doing something it needs to do, personally I would not worry about it. The EV light is just telling you that either the ICE is off (but not in this case) or you are coasting/being powered by the electric motors. I know your car was first start, but mine would often do this after a long decent down a hill which 'filled' the hybrid battery and the display showed max bars, the engine was just spinning to take away some excess energy and would stop after a minute or two.

Its interesting on my NX order form it does not mention AWD, so I queried that with my Dealer and they said for AWD it doesn't state anything, but front wheel drive models state FWD. I think this is because the Gen 2 NX was initially released in AWD only and the FWD model was released later.

I do not have HUD, but interesting you that yours flashes in the main display, mine just turns red. My software was updated when the car was delivered in March and as far as I am aware there haven’t been any updates since, unless there was one specific to models with HUD? Hopefully someone with the HUD will come along and be able to help you more.

I have mine selected for audible and visual as I like the warning, it is very easy to go above the speed limit as the NX is so quiet. Resetting back to audible every time is probably down to latest legislation. I have come from a Prius which had a HUD, so after being spoilt for over seven years it’s very useful for me. The noise is a very discreet bong and not in your face like the Prius which had spoken warnings e.g. “The Speed Limit is 30 miles per hour” and if you had your music up loud she was deafening 😆

Have you deciphered your VIN as that should tell you whether it is AWD or not I believe.

Just checked my NX and driveshafts definitely visible, but I think the NX has a more powerful motor than the LBX which may be the reason why. I am sure someone with more knowledge than me will come along and confirm 😀

No worries about fuel consumption on mine. I came from 7 years in a Gen 4 Prius so I thought I would maybe get 40mpg, but I get anywhere from low 50's to high 60's depending on journey of course. My average for this month is currently sat at 54.6mpg which is amazing. I know there may be discrepancies in real to computer, but comparing Prius trip computer, to NX trip computer figures I am amazed.

No issues with mine either, feel very confident in the corners, so I would get it checked out. What you describe is what you could feel with a flat tyre, but you said they are all fine so something is not right. The switch you are referring to is probably the Trail mode switch which should only be used as below. Page 235 of the manual. As far as I know you cannot switch the AWD off, it activates as and when required. Looking at the AWD screen I am surprised how much it uses all four wheels, I thought it would just be when the surface was slippery, but it uses it when pulling away from a standstill even at modest speeds then cuts off once up to speed.

Also, if you use a smart charger it should check the battery type and automatically selects the correct type. That is how mine works.

I think the NX shelf is a good compromise. It's made of the same mesh fabric, but it does have a rigid frame with fittings that clip in at the back, crucially it has hinges in the middle so neatly folds in half and has a specific space for it under the boot floor. The thing it shares with the UX cover is zero sound proofing qualities so you will hear things rustling in the boot, fortunately my boot is always empty apart from when shopping etc.

Had dash cams in my cars for years now, so I had the Lexus dashcam included as part of my deal. From what I have seen of the footage so far I am very happy and it is mounted out of my line of site. It does have a parking mode, but I have not turned that on as I do not want to add any unnecessary drain on the 12v battery The only change I made was to turn off the terrible start up/turn off chime.

The Gen 4 Prius had default 'Normal', then 'Eco' and 'Power'. All the difference is the accelerator pedal mapping to make it more/less responsive. Even if you are in Eco mode and floor the accelerator if will override the mode and give you full power, I expect the LBX is the same.

Speed camera alerts work fine here in the UK. Maybe the Australian forum below can help? https://au.lexusownersclub.com

I see from your location you are not in the UK, maybe your country has different specifications to UK supplied cars?
