    Not a Lexus but I almost exclusively ran my previous Audi on Cross Climates and found the MPG to be excellent.

    On the RZ, the current trims in the UK are (in order) Premium, Premium Plus, then Takumi. As you move up, you get a higher specification and more features in the car. On other Lexus models, there’s often a trim below Premium that’s the base trim - often without a name, but more recently called “Urban”. Lexus have said they’ll be introducing an Urban grade on the RZ later in 2024. On other models you also get F Sport versions, which are a more sporty version (different seats / wheels / styling / extras etc.), and depending on the Lexus model there might also be a hierarchy there.
  3. Tickedon
    No. The Premium doesn’t have a HUD, only Premium Plus and above.

    A Kia Niro EV should be serviced every 2 years or 20k miles (whatever comes first) - https://www.kia.com/uk/new-cars/niro/specification/. Kia are incredibly strict on their 7 year warranty, if you can’t prove the correct services with correct parts = no warranty. As noted, an RZ is every 1 year or 10k miles.

    I’ve had this happen in areas of poor internet connectivity for my mobile. Force closing the Lexus app on my smartphone and then re-opening it, and the car returns from me with everything looking exactly as it should!

    I really hope they introduce some real leather interior options…

    The version of the brochure linked in the Lexus website doesn’t even show it! https://www.lexus.co.uk/content/dam/lexus/nmsc/united-kingdom/brochure-downloads/RX-NG-23-Brochure.pdf

    Nano E is on both F Sport and Takumi according to the tables at the back of the brochure.
  9. Tickedon
    This is the same on nearly all Lexus cars these days. Depending on the model, you need at least Premium Plus or above for real leather. You can’t even get real leather on the RZ (apparently all EV owners must be vegan).

    You can’t use a cheap card in a dashcam. I tried and it failed very quickly. You need an “endurance” card that’s rated for dashcams - as they are continuously writing and overwriting video files. You’ll find cheaper options than nextbase cards but you’ll want to get something like the sandisk high or max endurance cards.

    There is a more limited supply of used cars at the moment (such that big companies are making changes to how they operate and closing locations: https://cardealermagazine.co.uk/publish/lithia-confirms-hundreds-of-job-losses-at-pendragon-as-us-giant-kills-off-carstore/300953), so unsurprising dealers are trying the channels they have to source stock. This is especially true of cars from 2020, 2021, and 2022 due to the impact of covid and fewer new cars sold then (which is now feeding through to the used car market)- so your car probably has prime appeal!
  12. Tickedon
    Far cheaper and easier (you’ll need to consider dvla and insurance implications) to sell your car and buy a manual.
  13. Tickedon
    Yes. But I believe someone on here had a quote from their dealer somewhere north of £3k. Will depend what the damage done actually is. In all likelihood, that’ll then mean a claim on your insurance.
  14. Tickedon
    They’ll be in the same position from April 2025 - all EVs (new and old) will pay VED. Newly registered EVs over £40k will also pay the luxury car tax element.
  15. Tickedon
    Just to add, both standard VED and the luxury car tax element also increases by inflation each year… so over the 5 years it’ll keep going up. The £10 hybrid discount on VED also disappears from April 2025.

    Sounds like someone might have been trying to steal your car. They access the canbus cable next to the lights. https://mag.lexus.co.uk/lexus-uk-statement-on-vehicle-theft/?fbclid=IwAR2u1DC_0mAo4_kSpK_1FLViLNyHJq0nAKctwfXCMxQi1CwuNiGBA10yY0w_aem_ATXzc0mSafM1xX72JZyfSo-7KpoTKXtkPQjmf6ToRhjQ_4GsDaGMH6Nf5ACoFWEW2pE Perhaps someone interrupted the thief- sounds like you may have had a lucky break.

    The Urban trim on the Lexus UK configurator (new trim for 2025, basically the bottom trim now) says “Smartphone integration (Wireless Apple CarPlay®, Wireless Android Auto™)” So it would appear wireless AA will be on some models…!
  18. Tickedon
    MG’s are great value - sounds like it ticks all the boxes for you! Hopefully more affordable on insurance too.
  19. Tickedon
    What car/brand have you gone for ?
  20. Tickedon
    Try putting the registration number into we buy any car - it may come up with more details…?
  21. Tickedon
    I think that’s the same thing as F Sport with Takumi pack - just how they show it in the configurator. A NX (whether 350 or 450) F Sport with Takumi pack has been more expensive than the Takumi model since launch. The features within each has slightly changed over time (e.g. option to get ML audio).

    It’s on the USA MY2025, presumably also coming to our cars: https://pressroom.lexus.com/whats-new-for-2025/ Exterior handle illumination added to rear doors
  23. Tickedon
    Assuming it mirrors the USA and other countries… 2x USB C in the front (rather than 1x A and 1x C).
  24. Tickedon
    There is a paid-for extended warranty available up to 15 years /150k miles. Not as comprehensive as Relax and for approx £5-600 per year. Not all dealers are aware of it, some reports in here Jemca dealers are aware and will sell it. Could give you peace of mind and fixed bill motoring for a few more years?
  25. Tickedon
    While there is an issue for vulnerable Lexus cars, even non-vulnerable cars like mine have high insurance but also it’s no real difference to the equivalent Audi either. Car insurance has gone up for everyone, and Lexus at least has the benefit of the Relax warranty - whereas for other makes that would be extra. Running a car these days is unfortunately rather expensive.
