So we had to chose between the Lexus NX, Lexus RX, Toyota Rav4 , and the Tesla Y. We used to own the fully electric Tesla Y and needed to decide whether to stick with it or change to a plug in hybrid. Like many people, we needed to also decide between hybrid, plug in hybird (PHEV) or full electric. In the end, we chose Lexus NX450h+. It is a great car!
I cover most of the big reasons why we chose the plugin hybrid Lexus NX over all our other options.

the charger lock is a great feature. It prevents people from unplugging your charger in public places. IMO, it's a feature, not a bug

Great real-world review! I like watching real owners spending their own money instead of most of these talking heads with their nonsense. Enjoy your nice new car.

Great video, Thx. I was also comparing Tesla Y and NX450h+ and bought the NX450h+. It is built luxuriously inside and the outside and it meets my everyday drive EV range.

The latest NX and RX are close as you say in terms of ride comfort. This is because in the latest update, the NX ride improved over the previous NX, and the RX ride got worse compared with the previous RX. So now the NX and RX have become more equal.

The charger adapter does that for your security. It prevents someone from grabbing your charger at a charging station. Having to unlock the car with a remote isn't really much of an inconvenience. Thanks for the frank review. My wife and I are in a similar situation and this helps.

Nice review thanks

Great video š. We have the 2024 Lexus NX 350h Luxury but didnāt go to NX450h given the extra cost.

Another option if you dont want to disable the charging lock is if you have your Keyfob with you and if you can unlock the car from the rear passenger door handle just touch that and it should unlock the charger. When i had my rav4 prime i use to do that and it worked great.
-
you can turn of the charger lock in the menu. I have a 2022 NX450h+, and I have the charger lock disabled.

If plug in is notnyour main reason for your choice, would you think toyota crown signia hybrids would be your final choice?

What are your thoughts about the plug in hybrid 2024 Prius Prime? Would you upgrade your Gen 3 Prius for it?
