Winter tyres not helping. Temperature is -3c and the car is fully loaded. Hybrid system not useful for long motorway trips at circa 80mph. It was a mixture of sport mode and normal. It’s great around town though.

It’s been a while since this was actually posted on here but I feel I should still reply as it may help somebody. I’ve owned a 2018 NX300h for the last four years. Around town I manage no more than 31MPG. We recently drove into southern France from the UK. The car had a full boot of stuff and four people and we did no more than 18MPG all the way. We run Michelin X climate 2 tyres all round. So if your intention is short journeys this car makes sense. For long trips and fast motorway driving, steer well clear unless you have deep pockets.

Yes. That is exactly what I did notice this evening when I went to the gym. The road noise is now minimised and the ride is now a lot smoother. I'm glad I made the switch rather than just sticking two new bluearths on the front. It's a 2018 with 17,000 miles on now. I'll probably trade in between two and three years time, hopefully I'll have more fully electric choices by then. It's a decent car, albeit engine rather underpowered. My young son likes looking out the pan roof from his seat.

Thanks all. The Yokohamas 3mm on the front and 5mm on the back. Could have done a rotation and bought another pair of Yokohamas but then I would have been locked in to that for another few years. Stuck 4 Michelin cross climates on it.

For clarity, it's a 2018 NX F-SPORT, sorry should have put that in the post...

Hi all, At that time where I might need a new set of tyres to replace the stock Yokohama bluearths the NX300H came with. I don't want to get into changing them every winter and summer, little point in the UK with the mild winters. Given that, i'm looking for the quietest and pest performing tyre out there. Any recommendations? Thanks all!

Hi all, When I bought my 2018 NX it came with an aftermarket boot liner, it's similar to the Lexus one. I replaced all the mats and the boot liner with Lexus genuine ones. I'd be happy to give my old aftermarket boot liner away if anyone wants to come and pick it up from East Sussex? Thanks

More comfortable to have in a pocket - this is the only reason I want to do it.

Hi all, Hope you are all doing well. If i buy this card key https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/GENUINE-LEXUS-SMART-KEYLESS-KEY-CARD-CT-IS-RX-ETC-DENSO-14CCF/254641819437?hash=item3b49d5cf2d:g:m8kAAOSwjPFe~ey5 Can I program it to work with a 2018 Lexus NX myself? Kind Regards, Tom

Yes, if you do buy a car from Motorline i'd be more than happy to recommend the best people to talk to - PM me if interested.

@JeffL That's a nice looking car, my wife wanted the sonic titanium. I would have pushed the button on a sonic titanium from Tunbridge Wells Lexus (fantastic dealer) but it had the smaller nav, it was important to us to get the upgraded nav screen for car play. Looks like it has everything apart from the larger nav screen

My phone is always on the wireless charger in the centre console, with the Car Play update it's still in the centre console, just with a wire attached - I don't understand how this changes anything

I just had my 2018 NX updated with Apple Car Play & Android Auto last week. I'm using a Samsung Galaxy S20. For whatever reason Waze was not showing with the other Android Auto Apps on the cars display. After a bit of hunting around I found this. Turns out enabling developer options in Android Auto fixes the issue. Leaving this here so others with the same phone and car combo can get things working.

Speaking of speed camera warnings, is there any way to turn the volume of speed camera notifications up on the normal nav?

I had a 1996 V8, but sold it in 2011. I had a 1992 2.5 TT before that in green, but don't have any pictures of that to hand. Here are pictures of the 96 V8. Both cars were immaculate (at the time of ownership) with no modifications apart from the wheels and Supra 8 pots. I wish I had these cars in this condition today.
