I believe the manual is now built in to the infotainment so you can read it there. Only problem you have to be on the car with the infotainment switched on and of course when not driving 😂. I get my new RX at the end of the month.

Thanks for the info. I do use an iPhone so will contact them. Is there any advantage of having Wi-fi over connecting with Bluetooth? Just realised I upgraded my iPhone and it has been happening since then so is probably that.

I cannot connect at all to the portal. It just says connecting and doesn’t. It must be connecting though as I managed to download a route from the Lexus link app to my saved places but the problem is that it isn’t in my stored routes. Another issue I have is every time I connect my phone via Wi-fi I have to put in my password. Is this normal?

Sitting in dealership and no one to do the handover. Seems they thought 💭 it was 15.30 hrs even though the confirmation email says 13.30 hrs. Person is out delivering another customer car. 😩😡😤. Can anything else go wrong. The car is sitting in the handover lounge waiting. Feel like just getting in and driving away 😂😂

Two hours to handover. Must admit that the excitement has gone. Now just want to get it over with. I will be sad to see the NX go as it has been a great car. Hopefully I will get to love the RX as much and should be great on the long journeys.

Had a phone call yesterday, car will be ready Thursday so picking it up 13.30 Thursday fingers crossed 🤞. Strange after saying on Monday next update would be Friday 🤔.

Just had a phone call from dealership and provisionally have a date for Thursday. Will phone back with a time as offered 1pm but may be able to do 11 my preferred time.

That’s what I thought. I phoned Lexus customer services and they didn’t know then came back and said the dealership was correct and Lexus would send out updates to them and they would update me.

They say it is due to the new regulations brought in and is affecting new registrations and it is the first time they have had a problem.

They say it is out of their control. They are waiting for Lexus to provide the necessary paperwork and then they will register the car. I can’t understand why there is a problem with paperwork for the emissions and WLTP as they have known for ages that it had to be done but keep saying it is affecting other manufacturers as well. What I cannot understand is why there hasn’t been anything on the news etc. If their Volkswagen dealership has an even bigger problem (54 cars) why no mention of it anywhere. Get Outlook for iOS

I am hoping but the dealership didn’t want to talk about compensation. Just out of pocket expenses.

Latest news is that there will be another update on Friday 13th. They will not give me a date until they are certain that they can meet that date. Very frustrating, as I cannot plan anything, especially as the car is in the dealership with personalised number plate, accessories fitted, just needs the final clean etc ready for handover. Told Lexus are working on paperwork and it is down to what the chassis number of car is 🤔.

Any one else on here not received their new Lexus promised for handover on or after September 1st? Still waiting for my new RX. Dealer has it and I managed to see it yesterday but cannot take delivery as Lexus haven’t provided paperwork to be able to register it with the DVLA. Told it is to do with the latest WLTP rules and emissions. Also told other manufacturers in same position and they Volkswagen dealerships.

Well my RX was due for handover on September 2nd, still waiting. Dealer can’t register it with DVLA as Lexus haven’t provided the paperwork. They didn’t tell me until two days before handover after paying the deposit that I couldn’t have it. Went in yesterday as heard nothing and still no date as to when I can pick it up. The good news was that they have it and I was able to see it but still waiting for Lexus to provide the WLTP and emissions paperwork so it can be registered. Annoying as I had plans this month but now everything on hold and unable to cancel my insurance on NX and start my new insurance with Lexus on the RX even though I have paid for it to start on 2nd.

On the NX the best I get is slow traffic x miles away, usually 5 miles, or slow traffic when I am already in it. Never an alternative route and if I go off route with the TomTom the NX keeps on trying to take be back to the original route. The RX worked as expected and gave the same alternative as the TomTom.

My NX is Mesa red with ivory but decided on black interior this time. The ventilated seats are great and I use them a lot. I haven’t used sport a lot except for pulling out quickly or overtaking and stopped used eco on motorway this year as the response was a little slow for pulling out but with adaptive it is ok. As for the sat nav and traffic updates it is poor so use my TomTom. However on the test drive it warned me of a traffic jam on the M25 and suggested an alternative, something the NX has never done. I enjoy driving the NX so looking forward to the RX as I think the driving position suits me and my creaking hips better.

I must admit I have considered a Tesla. It would probably suit me better as I do a few short trips a week eg food shopping and seeing grandkids. But my wife isn’t into relying on electric for the long journeys we do which are around the 300 mile range and then staying self catering. Seen quite a few on our trips and locally. Parked next to one in the services two weeks ago with it full wing rear doors. Lot of room inside. Couple had two kids in child seats and the leg room was huge. Problem is I think it is wider than the RX and the roads in the South East are narrow.

I have he HUD on the NX and didn’t realise how much I would miss it until the test drive without it. As for the 360 camera on the NX when I put it in reverse when stopped I can still see all four corners so can check that I am straight in the parking bay. Also I can press the camera button to the right of the steering and that shows me my position. I use that camera button a lot if I have to drive in forwards to a narrow space eg through a narrow gate like onto my brother in law’s drive. At low speed you can see all 4 corners when going forward. Can also be used at road junctions to see what’s coming but rarely remember that. Surprised if the RX isn’t the same annoying if not. 39mpg would be great. My average over the two years is that but currently getting about 42 mpg over the last few months.

Bought it on pcp so only needed £14k deposit as had about £4K equity on NX as only did 9k per year rather than the 10k I had signed up for. Probably last car I will buy as 70 next year so should last me 😂.

Can’t remember figures but had gap insurance, smart insurance (paintwork), Supaguard and tyre/alloy insurance plus over £800 options to original £62375 inc metallic paint and came to £63000. They gave £2000, which included £250 of options, off the original total. Also got Lexus £2000 deposit plus another £1000 as previous customer and 1.9% loan. All in all then about £60k before my NX trade in Used the paintwork insurance on NX after couple of scapes from cars parked next to me so worth having again I thought. Need Supaguard for grandkids. Couldn’t get free service as on NX but got 10% discount. Probably extravagant but now retired and only my third new car after a Honda CR-V and the NX and spending the kids inheritance. Need some luxury after 40 years of previous second hand and unreliable Fords, British Leyland and Volkswagen.

I went to the managers special on Monday 22nd but nothing special. As my NX was in for a 2 year service yesterday 24th asked to borrow a RX for the day. Told it was a sport but actually turned out to be a standard RX with sport pack. Very smooth ride on motorway and dual carriageway way but felt too soft for me as if car floating and bobbing and steering light especially on country roads. Had 3 longish trips motorway and A roads just over 1 hour about 30+ miles and got 43 mpg. Impressed. Drove home cross country very smooth but soft and light and got 42 mpg. Then drove back to garage cross country and dual carriageway using power for overtaking when necessary and got 40 mpg. Total about 120 miles average 42 mpg which was impressive with air conditioning on as a very hot day 30 C. Told them about soft ride and steering compared to my NX Premier so would stick with that as couldn’t consider a RX Takumi based on test drive. Car is bigger especially boot and inside which I want and mpg not much lower than my NX but as most of my driving involves cross country on a day to day basis could not commit to a new RX. They then took me out in a RX Premier and the ride was so much better even my wife noticed before we had driven a few miles. So now no more objections so after discussing some options etc ordered one for September plate. They had reserved one already in my colour Mesa red with black interior from my discussion on Monday. Hope I have made the right choice as have enjoyed the NX.

I have had mine for 2 years and rarely use it. I rely on my TomTom which always picks up jams and reroutes. I use the Lexus nav for the heads up display but it rarely gives the same route as the TomTom and often tells me to turn around when convenient after the TomTom has found an alternative route due to traffic. I to asked Lexus if it was set up correctly and used my phone Wi-fi but still no traffic reroute. The best I get is in 5 miles there is slow traffic which I have yet to ever see. It has never suggested an alternative route. However twice it has directed me to the correct postcode when the TomTom failed.

450 litres is up to parcel shelf. Larger figure is with the seats down. I have the NX. This has 475 litres.

I have a 2017 NX 300h with the Mark Levinson sound system and my iPod connects via the USB port and works OK. I just select the USB port it is connected to (which tells me the iPod is connected) and then use that as the source and then select either random or songs by album, playlist. If you have a large number of songs on your iPod then it does take quite awhile at first to read the file structure of albums, playlists, artists etc so it does look as if there is nothing on the iPod. First time use just plug it in and select iPod as source and click play on the iPod and it should play music while it is reading the iPod hard disk.

I requested a hard copy and Lexus sent me two free, owners manual and navigation. Dealers wanted about £50.
