  1. I actually achieved a distance of 51 miles on fully charged electric power in my 450h+ yesterday - half of which was motorway driving. Impressive.
  2. I strongly considered Fuji red (which is a bright red) but having chosen the Hazel interior I didn't reckon that the colour combo was appropriate so stuck with the Graphite metallic. Think the Fuji red is a stunning colour for a NX and as has already been said looks fantastic when polished.
  3. The Hazel interior on my NX450h has a colour matched Hazel headlining so think the UX combination will be similar.
  4. From order to delivery on a 450h I was just short of 6 month's. I have been one of the lucky ones by all accounts!
  5. I know somebody who ordered a VW last September with a promised delivery of December which was extended to January, then February, then June and now being told September! Dealer communication has been grim.
  6. Car location feature on Lexus Link now totally useless it appears. It indicates my car up to 30 miles away from where it actually is!
  7. Has anybody received an official recall letter from Lexus yet?
  8. After 5 weeks of ownership and 827 miles I filled up with petrol for the first time. On a brim to brim basis I have achieved just over 100mpg -well short of the quoted figures as excepted but happy none the less. Will work out the electric charge element in due course however I reckon overall consumption will be c60mpg.
  9. Yes-I have had instances of this. Very annoying. I will be taking this up with the dealer.
  10. The Lexus Link app appears to have issues at present. Journey's appear to be "two behind" the latest and thus current car location is inaccurate. Anybody else experiencing this?
  11. Good choice! My colour combination and I am sure you will be very happy with it.
  12. I agree with this as that's exactly what I am experiencing. Weirdly it's also changed the name of my phone!?
  13. Toyota checker now aligning with the DVLA site and my car also on recall. 😪I am awaiting a response from the dealer but according to other sources the official letter will not be issued until June as they are currently working on how to address this issue! Even heard that the wings will be required to be removed. Certainly far from happy and its taken some of the joy from the new car.☹️
  14. It's weird. Only noticed this earlier in the week but it repeated both North and Southbound yesterday! As soon as you leave the bridge the clock reverts to "normal".
  15. Don't know if anybody else has had a similar experience but every time I travel over the Queensferry Crossing the clock reverts to GMT!? As soon as I am clear of the bridge it returns to BST. Any ideas?
  16. Thanks for the information guys. According to the DVLA my car is affected but the Toyota checker says it isnt! Confused.com!!🥴
  17. It's at the bottom right corner of the infotainment screen on the 450h+.
  18. Had the survey completed last month and got approval from the DNO to proceed but they would fit a new main fuse and "head" foc. This was done last week so chased BG yesterday and was told all the parts required were available and that all they required was confirmation from an engineer and that I would get a call back within the day. No call received. Phoned again today and was informed that they were not sure if all the necessary parts were available for install but confirmed that the DNO has given the necessary approval and that they were aware that I was a "Lexus partner". Just received a further call to say that I need to get an isolator fitted by my energy provider before they can schedule the install! Absolutely raging as I was assured at the point of survey that it was a straightforward install and that only the DNO needed to be involved. Left hand doesn't know what the right hand is doing!
  19. Having spent my whole career in the Printing Industry it saddens me that the car brochure (along with other printed information) is being consigned to history. For me there is nothing better than leisurely thumbing through a brochure before choosing the options. Agree that accuracy is important though and the information is sometimes inaccurate which is annoying.
  20. Think the 450h is being given priority by the look of things. I ordered one in September and took delivery last month. The time from finished build to delivery was quicker than I expected so hope you experience the same. It will be worth the wait!
  21. I owned an S80 in the mid 2000's and it was a supremely comfortable car. Only had it a matter of days when a neighbours car careered into it badly damaging both nearside doors🙁 whilst the offending car had a few scratches on the bumper! Their cars handbrake had not been fully applied! Never felt quite the same about the car thereafter. Only other thing I remember wss that servicing was relatively expensive.
  22. I have to say that my dealership (Lexus Edinburgh) kept me fully informed after ordering a NX450h+ last September and taking delivery last month. There was a delay in info appearing on the app but once it did appear it was updated and indeed Lexus sent an email as every stage was completed.
  23. Hi Paul Yes your calculation is indeed correct and as you say a longer journey will be needed to get a better indication. Big downside of this mode is the raised engine note - sitting at traffic lights it's as though you are revving the engine for take-off! 🤔 Certainly not the usual "waft along" that you can enjoy in a Lexus!
  24. Yes fully agree that it is disappointing and I expected that my new NX would have this option as I previously enjoyed this on Ford's that I have owned.
