Reliable and Efficient Audi Q3 Engines: Get the Best Deal

what's been happening in the world of motorsports lately?

a summary of all news, updates and rumours we got over the last few days because f1 never sleeps, not even during the summer break

Oliver Oakes becomes the new team principal of Alpine (he is also the boss of Hitech team in F2 and F3)

RBR’s sporting director Jonathan Wheatley leaves Red Bull to become a new team principal of Audi after his gardening leave to partner Binotto who was appointed a few days ago

Andrea Stella extended his McLaren contract

like previously mentioned, Frederic Vasseur said that Ferrari’s new technical structure will be announced after the summer break but we already found out Diego Tondi has been promoted to the head of aerodynamics and different journals speculate about others (namely Mike Elliot from Mercedes who should be free for 2025 after his gardening leave and could come with Lewis and Loic Serra, and Frank Sancez that used to be in Sauber and might work on the aerodynamic team under Tondi)

Prema won the F3 Championship

F1Planet believes that based on the link between Oliver Oakes and Nikita Mazepin’s family, he could join Alpine

did I also say that apparently there are negotiations behind the scenes for Onlyfans to replace BWT as their sponsor (they are a joke, but can these reports please stop????)

Ferrari promised to continue a series of smaller upgrades to fix their new porpoising issues, McLaren will also continue their development to get even faster than Red Bull as their main goal this year is the championship(s)

FIA updated the regulations and added/changed some things, namely (very simplified) part about brakes not able to be asymmetrical to help rotation of the car and a part about stopping a car on the track not being able to continue the session (to avoid situations like when Carlos crashed in quali, caused a red flag and his car got to the boxes so fast they could repair it and he could continue in Q3)

Toto once again said that Kimi Antonelli is their first option for 2025 and there are some reports that he will be announced once he turns 18 (so as soon as Monza)

Charles was the face of newest issue of Gentleman’s Journal, Lewis came to support his bestie at Olympics, Max’s new docu series on Viaplay came out (or a part of it anyway), Sweet Corn was hanging out with daddy Guanyu and both Daniel and Lando dropped their new merch

a few journals claim that Jack Doohan is really close to signing to Alpine, if it’s not just the question of announcing it officially

the options for Audi’s second seat might include Gabriel Bortoleto (who won F3 championship and stepped up into F2)

there are rumours about GP (Max’s engineer) stepping up into Wheatley’s role that will now be vacant, because Red Bull wants to take from their own people instead of hiring the outsider workers

personal note because another episode of Charles’ Peroni campaign came out: Peroni 0.00% Nastro Azzurro lately dropped in Slovakia with Števo Eisele, Ferrari showcar (made of 2021 replica car and current livery with all its sponsors – picture below) and Charles’ race suit and Carlos’ helmet and it was so nice (they had alcohol free beer and tiramisu and pizza and cocktails for free)

Canadian GP promoter stepped down after 30 years

there are reports about Newey signing with AM (as per Autosport Official) as they are aiming to sign max as well in 2026 although there has been speculation that he is going to Ferrari because of a recent post on social media from his partner where he wears red and his manager Eddie Jordan saying not to take Ferrari out of question because he wants a challenge and that leaves mclaren out of the contention as they are already on a positive curve with development (wait whoops forgot to mention: the rumoured contract is 100m)

James Vowles spoke more about Carlos and how signing him was more like “dating” and how the whole factory cheered when he told them Carlos will join them, he also denied any clauses that has been speculated in the media and said that Carlos is in top 4 or maybe the second-best driver on the grid

Paul Aron mentioned that this is probably his only F2 season because he would need more funds for another one or an F1 team’s backing

A Roadmap to Audi Q3 Common Problems and Solutions

As the proud owner of an Audi Q3 or a prospective buyer considering this luxury compact SUV, you might be intrigued by its sleek design, upscale interior, and impressive performance. However, like any vehicle, the Audi Q3 is not immune to occasional hiccups.

In this blog, we’ll explore the reliability of the Audi Q3, shedding light on common problems encountered by owners and offering practical solutions to keep you confidently cruising down the road.

Electrical Gremlins:

One of the primary concerns reported by Audi Q3 owners revolves around electrical issues. These can manifest in various ways, from malfunctioning infotainment systems to erratic warning lights on the dashboard. While these problems can be frustrating, they often stem from minor glitches rather than major faults. Simple remedies like resetting the system or updating software can often resolve these issues. However, if problems persist, consulting with a certified technician may be necessary to diagnose and address any underlying issues.

Transmission Quirks:

Some Audi Q3 owners have experienced issues with the transmission, such as rough shifting or hesitation during acceleration. These symptoms can be indicative of transmission fluid issues, software glitches, or mechanical malfunctions. Regular maintenance, including timely transmission fluid changes, can help mitigate these issues. Additionally, ensuring that the vehicle’s software is up-to-date can prevent potential software-related transmission problems. In more severe cases, professional diagnosis and repair by a qualified mechanic may be required.

Suspension Challenges:

While the Audi Q3 offers a smooth and refined ride, some owners have reported issues with the suspension system. Common complaints include squeaks, rattles, or a stiff ride quality. These symptoms may be attributed to worn-out suspension components, such as bushings or shock absorbers. Regular inspections and proactive replacement of worn parts can help maintain optimal suspension performance. Furthermore, addressing any unusual noises or vibrations promptly can prevent further damage to the suspension system.

Oil Leaks:

Oil leaks are another concern cited by some Audi Q3 owners. These leaks can originate from various sources, including the engine, transmission, or differential. While minor oil seepage is not uncommon in vehicles with high mileage, significant leaks should be addressed promptly to prevent damage to vital components and ensure the longevity of the vehicle. Regularly checking the oil level and inspecting the engine bay for signs of leaks can help detect potential issues early on. Consulting with a qualified technician can provide insight into the root cause of the leak and facilitate timely repairs.

Interior Wear and Tear:

Despite its luxurious interior, the Audi Q3 is not immune to wear and tear over time. Common complaints include premature wear of upholstery, peeling of interior trim pieces, or malfunctioning electronic components. Regular cleaning and conditioning of the interior surfaces can help preserve their appearance and prevent premature deterioration. Additionally, addressing any electronic issues promptly can prevent further damage and ensure the functionality of essential features.

How to Open an Audi Car Key to Change the Battery

Welcome to this comprehensive guide on how to open an Audi car key to change the battery.

As an expert in automotive technology, I understand the importance of maintaining your vehicle's key fob in optimal condition. In this article, I will provide you with step-by-step instructions on how to safely open your Audi car key and replace the battery.

By following these instructions, you can ensure that your key fob continues to function flawlessly, allowing you to unlock and start your Audi with ease.

1. Understanding the Importance of a Functional Car Key

Your Audi car key is not just a simple key; it is a sophisticated electronic device that allows you to unlock your vehicle, start the engine, and even control various features remotely. A functional car key is essential for the smooth operation of your Audi. If the battery in your car key is dead or dying, it can lead to inconvenience and frustration. Therefore, it is crucial to regularly check and replace the battery to ensure that your key fob remains in optimal condition.

2. Tools Required for Opening an Audi Car Key

Before we proceed with the step-by-step guide, let's gather the necessary tools for opening an Audi car key and replacing the battery. Here's what you'll need:

Small flat-head screwdriver

Replacement battery (check your car key's manual for the specific battery type)

Step 1: Identify the Key Type

Audi car keys come in different types, depending on the model and year of your vehicle. It is essential to identify the key type before proceeding with the battery replacement process. The most common types of Audi car keys are:

Standard Remote Key: This type of key has buttons for lock, unlock, and trunk release.

Advanced Key: This key features keyless entry and push-button start.

Step 2: Locate the Battery Compartment

Once you have identified the key type, locate the battery compartment on your Audi car key. The battery compartment is usually on the backside of the key fob. Look for a small indentation or a slot where you can insert the screwdriver to open the key.

Step 3: Remove the Key Blade

Before opening the key, remove the key blade if it is attached. Some Audi car keys have a detachable key blade that can be slid out from the side or bottom of the key fob. Gently slide out the key blade and set it aside.

Step 4: Use a Screwdriver to Open the Key

Insert the small flat-head screwdriver into the slot or indentation on the key fob. Apply gentle pressure and twist the screwdriver to pry open the key. Be careful not to use excessive force to avoid damaging the key fob.

Step 5: Replace the Battery

Once the key is open, you will see the battery inside the key fob. Carefully remove the old battery and replace it with a new one of the same type. Ensure that the battery is inserted in the correct orientation, as indicated by the markings inside the key fob. Close the key fob by aligning the two halves and pressing them together until they snap into place.

If your Audi car key is still not working after replacing the battery, there may be an underlying issue with the key fob. In such cases, it is recommended to contact an authorized Audi service center for further assistance.

Q4: Can I replace the battery in my Audi car key myself, or should I take it to a professional?

Replacing the battery in an Audi car key is a relatively simple process that can be done by most car owners. However, if you are unsure or uncomfortable performing the task yourself, it is always best to seek professional assistance to avoid any potential damage to the key fob.

Q5: Are there any precautions I should take while changing the battery in my Audi car key?

When changing the battery in your Audi car key, it is important to handle the key fob with care to avoid any accidental damage. Additionally, ensure that you have the correct replacement battery and insert it in the correct orientation as indicated by the markings inside the key fob.

Holy shit being into f1 means seeing some very stupid opinions on the teams and drivers. A lot of this is a response to a post that im not gonna put here cus its just fucking stupid. But tldr i watch f1 as a hater. I want most of the drivers and teams to do well. Except russell, lance and ocon. Russell is a spoiled brat. Lance is even worse. And ocon is a cheap fuck who isn't that good but acts like he is. Otherwise anyone else can win or get a podium or points, but i also want those three to get passed, crash, or have problems.

Aston poached their way into a winning position. Lance should realize that his best bet for the team is to be a bad and dangerous driver up at the front to knock out anything that isnt alonso. Like i know he's the reason that team is what it is but if daddy looks at the prize money as a goal, he'll tell his shit kid to jump out of the way for alonso. He wont tho, he dropped several fucking hundred mil on his stupid child.

Alfa Romeo and alpha tauri really have no excuse to be as trash as they are. They're getting beat by haas who have only finally gotten enough money to hit the budget cap. Alfa has the same engine and they're unable to make a car that can go to the end. Every single time. Bottas lost his fastest lap gamble because they cant make an f1 car run the distance of an f1 race. Alpha tauri aka minardi, they took one of the brightest rookies. A proven champion is other sports and shoved him in a shitbox. Nyck deserves better. Yuki deserves better too. Both teams have access and options to be better and dont have an excuse to me any more. Alfa especially, they have audi, i know their involvement is staged to increase into 26 but they should be looking over saubers (alfa) work cuz its not like sauber know how to make a winning car.

Then its the same issue but different for McLaren. They made a huge shitstorm happen with contracts over oscar and what do they have to show for it? Him being able to get into q3, get tapped to the back and then overtake sargent at the end so hes not last. The actual fuck. McLaren seems to forget that their car, while not able to catch a redbull in pace, needs to be able to hold together to the end of a fucking race.

Sargent is picking up ok, hes keeping the car on the track. Hes not exceptional, not that ive seen yet, and his car isnt helping him. I feel like theres a handfull of better drivers but he got hired as an ass backwards ploy for US marketing. Heres the thing, Americans™ want to see every other country losing to it. Putting an American in a williams is asking for the brain dead, nationalistic, psychos you want to watch f1 to watch it once and then hate f1. Its not gonna work in America cuz he isnt being given a 3 lap lead start so he never gets passed. Nyck showed some real strength last year but in a tauri isnt doing him favors. Seems like hes doing ok in there. But unless he can show a ton of talent he'll end up like hulk, same with oscar. Oscar getting to q3 and then getting knocked out in the 1st lap really screwed his chances, again, and the McLaren wasnt strong enough to let him shine.

Zhou and bottas are being screwed. Zhou really can keep the car on the track but dosent have the extra pace to get ahead. Id bet he gets dropped when alfa becomes audi or sooner. If he can help funding the team i could see him staying in there. But not if they want to start pushing for wins. I like zhou, he seems nice but i dont see him being a winning driver. If bottas doesn't retire i can see him leading audi and then being the second man to whatever young gun shows up to replace zhou as world champion.

Seeing hamilton so pissed by the merc is kinda sad. I hope the car gets better but also he should kinda calm down, max is similar he bitches like no other if the car is slightly off. I cant imagine either of them settling for a lesser team. Idk, just talking shit. Kimi complained a lot too but stuck with that shit box alfa.

Seeing ferrari just be so mid is kinda sad too. Seeing them start so strong last year and the just be left in the dust off the line this year is pretty sad. Sainz is a great driver but leclerc really deserves better, especially after last season. Having his car fail out on the first race isnt promising either.

Also at the end, in the winners circle, seeing jost not even able to look as checo was hilarious. Like man you were a mid tier f1 driver. Fucking chill. You really weren't all that to be acting so fucking rude. Whatever is happening over at redbull they need to ban his disrespectful ass from the infield, i dont care if that somehow makes max a worse driver or what. Get that hateful man out of the paddock please. Like any time you look at him, he looks like he wants to hit whoever is next to him. Just unnerving. Your son wasn't able to catch his teammate this race, so what? He literally broke a win record last year and is still leading the championship this year. Its fine, but no papa verstappen looked like he was gonna gouge checos eyes out.

Also saw something about alonso "starting to smell blood in the water"... Um ok, if by waking up from his super competitive deep sleep is letting max bast past him without a single defensive move on the straigh ist "smelling blood" ok sure dude. The guy is happy, hes doing well. he could drag aston to 3rd in the team championship and take the drivers title but right now hes happy hes in a car that isnt falling apart every 12 laps. I dont see a super competitive aspect of alonso waking up. The man is fuckin chillin.

The upgrades teams make through a season make a difference but in recent years i cant think of a time where a teams upgrades propelled them above and beyond 3 team places in terms of pace. Im not saying redbull is gonna hold a 1,2 show every weekend and alonso will be 3rd. Merc and ferrari can still make ground. If merc can fine tune an aston style copy thell start hitting the podium. Ferrari seems to be at their limit. And we really havent been able to see a McLaren take a fight for a full distance. They could easily be at the front, as their best of the rest spot. If alfa can make bottas' car reliable then i can see him in the top 10 a lot too. I dont see williams or alpha tauri improving much though, thatd be great but id be really surprised to see them doing well. I just hope that in this whole season lance doesn't get one single podium. Fuck him. Everyone else, good luck.

Also the people talking about the imsa and wec hypercars are mostly saying a bunch of stupid dumbshit but with all the new Brands™ joining its not surprising. Like the vanwall simps are fawning over a team that actually did a hostile takeover for the name and spent most of their time in lower classes not being very successful there either, vanwall isnt gonna be impressive you idiots. The fact that a team cant even register for a race properly should tell you they dont have their shit together.

The Must-Know Audi Q3 Water Pump Failure Symptoms in Louisville

In general, the coolant is an important part of the car that can keep the engine in top condition. Moreover, it protects the engine from high heat and freezing temperatures. Among the several parts of the cooling system, the water pump is circulating the coolant from the radiator throughout the engine and absorbs the heat generated from the engine.

Subsequently, the water pump are maintaining a certain temperature throughout the engine and ensures that the engine does not overheat as well as cool down it even in stressful driving. When the water pump is failed in Audi Q3, the engine is overheated and causes a sort of problem. Sometimes, the worn-out water pump needs immediate replacement by an expert.

Main role of water pump in an engine

The engine of the car is operating within a specified temperature range. Go through the owner’s manual to know about the specified range in which the engine is functioning efficiently. Due to numerous reasons, you have to maintain the temperature of the engine. So, the coolant flows around the engine to cool it down in case of increased temperature.

Every model of Audi has a water pump to maintain the coolant flow in the engine. If the water pump of the car is worn out, then the engine is unable to maintain its required operating temperature which leads to complete engine failure. To protect the engine and run it efficiently, you must know about the signs of a failing water pump as soon as possible.

Signs of bad water pump

To keep the engine from overheating and other self-destruction problems, you have to make sure that the water pump is operating without having any issues. If the water pump is failed in Audi Q3, then you will notice the following signs for the long run.

Rise in engine temperature

If the engine temperature is rising abnormally in your car, then check the water pump by a professional mechanic. The main role of the water pump is to maintain the coolant flow around the engine. A small problem in the pump may interrupt the coolant flow and overheat the engine.

So, if the temperature gauge is showing a significant change in the temperature of the engine, then it is a sure sign of a cooling system problem, especially the water pump. Therefore, treat the problem as soon as possible; otherwise, it could end up spending a huge amount of money on engine repair or replacements.

Whining belt noise

When the accessory belt of the car is loosened, it will make an annoying and high-pitched sound. If you will hear a whining noise from the engine, then it’s always advisable to consult with a mechanic for inspecting the failed water pump in the car.

On the other hand, the engine of the car has several belts including the serpentine belt that can also damage the engine when they slip or break. For preventing the whining belt noise in the car, toll your car to a reputed auto repair shop in Louisville.

Low coolant levels

Due to the bad water pump, the coolant begins to slowly leak and the engine runs on the low level of coolant. When the coolant level is lower down in the car, it can lead to a dangerous problem for both the engine and the water pump. So, you have to take care of the problem immediately by fixing the water pump failure in the car.

Leakage of coolant at the front

If you found any types of coolant leaking from the car, then you have to consult with a reputed mechanic immediately for fixing the problem. In most cases, many components of the cooling system tend to wear out and crack after a long time of usage.

By checking the color of the puddle of fluid under the car, you can easily determine the condition of the water pump. If the leaked fluid is red or green, then ensure that the coolant is leaking at the front of the car. In this condition, you have to flush the water pump thoroughly and get the system refilled with the right amount of coolant.

Steam coming out of the alternator

When the engine of the car is overheated, you will notice that the presence of steam is produced from the front part of the engine system. Moreover, the steam coming out of the alternator is a common symptom of failed water pump in a car.

Generally, driving a car with an overheated engine is very dangerous and leads to complete engine failure. If you notice any of the above signs in your car with steam coming from the alternator, then consult a mechanic to check out the water pump.

Conclusion

Neglecting the complete failure may cause engine failure. At this point, you have to consult with a reputed mechanic for replacing the water pump by consulting with a premium OEM-quality manufacturer. If you are currently living in Louisville, then consult with a reputed service center for diagnosing the water pump and replace it with a new one in Audi Q3.

2021 Lexus NX 300h isn't new, but it's still good

New Post has been published on https://appradab.com/2021-lexus-nx-300h-isnt-new-but-its-still-good/

2021 Lexus NX 300h isn't new, but it's still good

The current-generation NX might not be long for this world, but it’s still uniquely positioned as is.

Andrew Krok/Roadshow

For 2021, Lexus hosted a key party of sorts for its 6-year-old NX compact crossover. Previously, you could get an NX hybrid and an NX F Sport, but you couldn’t combine the two. That makes the arrival of this NX 300h F Sport Black Line about as much of a surprise as Monday following Sunday, though it’s a special-edition model limited to 1,000 units. Even so, at its heart, the latest NX mashup is plenty comfortable and competent.

Sharper looks than standard hybrid

Darn decent efficiency

Don’t Like

Expensive for an aging vehicle

Cursed infotainment

Why can’t they all look like this?

Honestly, the F Sport should be the NX’s de facto face. Not only is this mesh-style grille far more appealing than the standard one, the F Sport body kit adds some weight to the lower front bumper, which has a pretty aggressive upward angle on the regular NX 300h and looks like somebody forgot to draw in a chin. Throw in some F Sport-specific 18-inch alloy wheels and you’ve got a solid looker, even though the NX has been around for a bit now.

It might not carry the flashy looks of its newer, harder-edged Teutonic competition, but the 2021 Lexus NX 300h F Sport’s interior is still a damn fine place to spend time. Unique touches inside are limited to contrasting blue stitching, a heated steering wheel and aluminum pedals, but there’s no sense messing with success. The seats have superb cushioning and support, and the center console’s raised setup means glances take less time away from the road ahead. It’s a little old-school in that physical switchgear absolutely dominates the NX’s interior, but the controls have good tactility and are dead simple to use with very little distraction. Cubbies and stash spots abound, including my favorite one, nestled just ahead of the center armrest and covered by a small removable vanity mirror. The automotive world needs more weird little touches like that, where nobody’s really quite sure why it’s there. I mean, there’s still a mirror in the sun visor, so who’s it for? The back row?

Speaking of, some compact crossovers choose to sacrifice interior space in the name of aesthetics, but not the Lexus NX. It doesn’t have the flat, wagon-ish roof of, say, a BMW X1, but my 6-foot frame doesn’t have any issues in the back seats, and with almost 43 inches of legroom, I definitely have room to stretch the ol’ gams. If you’re just one person or have a small family, the NX’s 16.8 cubic feet of cargo space should be plenty, although the hybrid system takes up a bit of space, shrinking the total capacity down from 17.7 cubic feet in gas-only variants. While that’s more storage than the Mercedes-Benz GLA-Class can muster up, it falls well behind competitors like the Audi Q3 (23.7 cubic feet) and BMW X1 (27.1 cubic feet).

Smoothness over sport

Lexus creates some of the quietest, smoothest-driving vehicles in the luxury segment, and even its second-littlest crossover really swings for the fences in this regard. While F Sport models do gain a sharper suspension, the NX Black Line is still among the most comfortable vehicles in the segment. Whatever bumps aren’t dispatched by the dampers transmit little movement to the cabin, and in traditional Lexus fashion, there’s a decent amount of sound-deadening material throughout the body, keeping most unwanted road noises at bay. Gobs of pedal modulation make limo stops a breeze, and the steering turns the car, which I imagine is the extent to which its future owners care about that.

It’s good that the brevity-averse 2021 Lexus NX 300h F Sport Black Line is a smooth operator, because it sure ain’t a quick one. Like all other NX hybrids, the Black Line gets its forward motion from a 2.5-liter inline-four mated to Lexus’ hybrid hardware for a net 194 horsepower. It’s a regular old hybrid, not a plug-in, so its battery is limited to a couple miles of electric-only operation at sub-highway speeds, but leaving the NX in Eco mode really puts that nickel-metal hydride to work. On one suburban jaunt, with speed limits never eclipsing 40 mph, I ran largely on electricity for a few dozen miles, resulting in an impressive 45 mpg. That’s an edge case, though — the EPA rates this NX variant at 33 mpg city and 30 mpg highway, which is OK for an electrified all-wheel-drive SUV, but I was able to beat both figures with little more than a light foot. The continuously variable transmission is so well tuned that I basically forget it exists, which is about all you can ask for.

There are driving modes beyond Eco, even though that is my clear favorite. Eco is all about efficiency, so throttle inputs are dulled and the powertrain does its best to be in its most economical range at all times. Normal, the default mode, has a firmer throttle response that does a better job of providing post-stoplight acceleration, but it eats into efficiency a bit. There’s a Sport mode, too, but why bother? Yes, the NX 300h F Sport does offer some semblance of sportiness, but it’s clear that the underlying Lexus still wants to be cool and collected as often as possible. The Black Line also includes Lexus’ fake-engine-sound synthesizer, which thankfully has a proper Off setting.

Lexus’ leather game is on point. Those seats are even more comfortable than they look.

Out, damned touchpad, out, I say!

One day, I won’t have to write about Lexus’ accursed infotainment system, which has been kicking around in various iterations for almost a decade now. Its current method of manipulation, a touchpad on the center console, remains as odd and unintuitive as the day it came out, as the cursor “snaps” to various parts of the screen while your finger tracks along. It’s hard to manipulate sitting still, nevertheless while driving.

An 8-inch screen, which is what my tester has, is standard and it’s fine, rocking the same old aesthetic Lexus has relied on for years. A 10.3-inch screen is available on other trims, which adds navigation, but it’s not standard on the Black Line, despite it being the most expensive NX variant available. Thankfully, Apple CarPlay and Android Auto are still along for the ride no matter what. Just add touch capability, for crying out loud, it’s already available on the LS. Who cares if you have to move the screen closer so people can actually reach it? A second, smaller info display lives between the speedometer and power delivery gauge, relaying relevant information about tire pressures, fuel economy or the trip meter.

If there’s one corner of in-car tech that Lexus has down pat, it’s safety. All NX models come standard with the Lexus Safety System Plus 2.0 array of passive and active technologies. This bundle features lane-keeping assist, forward-collision warning with automatic emergency braking, pedestrian and cyclist detection, lane-departure warning and full-speed adaptive cruise control. Blind-spot monitoring and parking sensors are included in the NX Black Line, as well. Parent company Toyota has had plenty of time to refine these hands-on systems, and it shows in their operation.

I can only hope that the next generation of NX gets rid of this touchpad once and for all.

Down to brass tacks

In its press materials, Lexus says the NX Black Line prioritizes its customers’ desire for “exclusive styling and value,” but the latter claim is iffy, given that it’s the most expensive variant by base price, starting at $47,835 including destination. My tester rings in at $48,745 with some fripperies like door edge guards and illuminated doorsills, which is quite the pill to swallow for a compact luxury crossover that’s due for a replacement. But in context, it’s about on par with its competitors, all of which offer similar base prices and similar chances to load the cars up to high heaven with all manner of options.

The 2021 Lexus NX 300h F Sport Black Line’s hybrid powertrain and focus on proper old-school luxury help set it apart from the crowd. If what you’re after is comfort and efficiency, you’d be hard-pressed to find a better fit in the compact SUV segment.
