Software glitch.. If it's disappeared and there are no errors recorded don't worry. BTW how did you manage to get the photo if it disappeared after 1 second?

My dealership today booked my preview appointment for the new NX for Nov 20th. Will be very interesting to compare with the current model I'v had for the last week. I hope the grade delivered will be the Takumi but I expect it'll be a mid spec grade (probably the most popular, F-Sport) and will it be the 300h or 450h+ I guess it doesn't matter as no test drives allowed.. 😒

Car is now back on my driveway. All clean and gleaming (in the heavy rain), just need to reprogramme my destinations and get used to the low-slung driving position 😉 Have booked my preview appointment in the new NX when it arrives in the dealership next month.... 😎

Same here! There appears to be no button in the glove box either... I'm guessing it's a saloon/coupe vs SUV thing? One can easily access the inside of the car from the load area of an SUV. Not so easy in the other models

So, they have quoted you a price to coat the ES? If so the balls in your court to call them to accept and book in? A car is a car to them and I'd be surprised if they turned away business

Just checked the NX300h loaner I have and the tailgate cannot be opened without unlocking all the doors as well. Use the button on the tailgate will open the tailgate and simultaneously unlock all the doors. Use the remote fob button will have no effect unless the doors are unlocked first. On my RC300h the boot will operate totally independently of the doors status. You can double check the operation requirements in the NX 2016 handbook linked below. I haven't read through all the sections but it appears tailgate and door operations are combined.. https://www.lexus.co.uk/owners/about-my-lexus/manuals/#manuals-form

The exact two concerns I would have. The car I had also had an amazing amount of tech more advanced than my 2019 RC. I found it a very pleasant place to sit and drive.

Could be but I thought Lexus reserved that colour for the LC?

Dislike? I had one as a courtesy car recently and rather took to it. Perhaps a polite request to the forum admins might work? Try the 'Contact Us' button bottom of every page

Have you check the button in the glove box? When depressed it disables remote boot opening (valet mode?)

Apart from the lack of communication (nothing for almost a week) I've nothing to moan about. Courtesy car, very nice NX only 1k miles old and no costs apart from replacing fuel used, I'm happy. Different story if car was over 3yrs old. I'd expect electronics to last longer, so might be a fight on my hands...

Yes, both my RC300h displayed wear on the inner edge of the rear tyres. I had both from new and had the geometry checked at each service, all spot on. Service tech did say it was normal on this model. Mine never wore down far enough to need replacing in my ownership. Previous car covered approx 27k miles.

Got a call this evening, my car is ready for collection 👍 Apparently the sat nav module suffered an 'internal' failure and has been replaced. Why it took so long, Lexus insisted the dealership run all possible diagnostics before they would ok the replacement. I guess it's not cheap! Will collect Monday, all covered under warranty.

Guessing that should be UX300e ?

LEDs pulse and depending on the frame rate for video and the shutter speed (sampling rate) for cameras it may have 'missed' the illumination on that side.

Well, that's a whole week with no news from Lexus....

There's a significant amount of sound deadening applied to the RC body. Plus clever material selection for various structural components. BODY STRUCTURE DETAILS LOW VIBRATION AND LOW NOISE BODY.pdf
