As we buckle up for this review, let\u2019s explore what makes this Lexus a compelling choice for discerning drivers.<\/p>\n<h2>Pros and Cons<\/h2>\n<h4>Pros<\/h4>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Elegant Design<\/strong>: The NX350 flaunts a sleek silhouette, accentuated by sharp lines and the iconic Lexus spindle grille. It\u2019s a head-turner in the urban jungle.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Refined Interior<\/strong>: Step inside, and you\u2019re greeted by plush materials, impeccable fit and finish, and a sense of tranquility.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Smooth Ride<\/strong>: The NX350 glides over bumps and potholes, offering a serene driving experience.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Standard Safety Features<\/strong>: Lexus doesn\u2019t skimp on safety. Expect adaptive cruise control, lane-keeping assist, and automatic emergency braking.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h4>Cons<\/h4>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Cargo Space<\/strong>: While adequate for daily needs, the cargo area isn\u2019t cavernous. Pack light for that weekend getaway.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Infotainment Interface<\/strong>: The touchpad-controlled infotainment system can be finicky. Patience required.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2 data-sourcepos=\"14:1-14:26\">How Much Does it Cost?<\/h2>\n<p data-sourcepos=\"16:1-16:315\">The <strong>2024 Lexus NX350<\/strong> sits comfortably in the premium SUV segment, with pricing starting at around $62,275 (excluding on-road costs). It&#8217;s important to remember that Lexus is known for its exceptional customer service and build quality, so you&#8217;re paying for a luxurious ownership experience alongside the car itself.<\/p>\n<h2 data-sourcepos=\"18:1-18:26\">Features and Benefits<\/h2>\n<p data-sourcepos=\"20:1-20:398\">Step inside the <strong>NX350<\/strong>, and you&#8217;re greeted by a cabin that oozes sophistication. Lexus is renowned for its focus on detail, and it shows in the high-quality materials and meticulous craftsmanship. The ergonomically designed seats offer superb comfort on long drives, while the Lexus Interface infotainment system provides a user-friendly experience with features like Apple CarPlay and Android Auto.<\/p>\n<p data-sourcepos=\"22:1-22:296\">Under the hood, the NX350 packs a punch with a 2.5-liter turbocharged four-cylinder engine delivering a zippy 203kW of power. Yet, it manages to achieve an impressive fuel economy of around 8.4L\/100km (combined cycle), making it a good choice for those who desire both performance and efficiency.<\/p>\n<h2 data-sourcepos=\"24:1-24:17\">Safety First<\/h2>\n<p data-sourcepos=\"26:1-26:352\">Safety is paramount for Lexus, and the NX350 comes loaded with advanced driver-assistance features. These include <span class=\"citation-0 citation-end-0\">Pre-Collision System with Pedestrian Detection, Lane Departure Alert with Steering Assist, and Blind Spot Monitoring with Rear Cross-Traffic Alert.<\/span> This comprehensive suite of technologies gives you peace of mind on the road.<\/p>\n<h3>A Blend of Luxury and Performance<\/h3>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"The Lexus NX350 Or Mazda CX-60: Which SUV Is Better For Australians Who Want Luxury? | Drive.com.au\" width=\"750\" height=\"422\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/sj_LCJkIfhU?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<h2 data-sourcepos=\"28:1-28:18\">Running Costs<\/h2>\n<p data-sourcepos=\"30:1-30:211\">While the <strong>NX350<\/strong> boasts excellent fuel economy, it&#8217;s important to factor in scheduled maintenance costs. Lexus is known for its reliable vehicles, but premium car servicing can be pricier than mass-market brands.<\/p>\n<h2 data-sourcepos=\"32:1-32:32\">Standing Out from the Crowd<\/h2>\n<p data-sourcepos=\"34:1-34:326\">The <strong>NX350<\/strong> competes with a strong line-up in the mid-size luxury SUV segment, including established players like the <a href=\"https:\/\/motorscout.com.au\/model\/audi-q5\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Audi Q5<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/motorscout.com.au\/model\/bmw-x3\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">BMW X3<\/a>, and Mercedes-Benz GLC.

The stunning design, opulent interior, and advanced safety features make it a standout option in the market.
