Hey everyone! I just finally took delivery of my new Lexus NX 450h+ and I am absolutely loving the drive so far. Since this is my first plug-in hybrid, I am a bit overwhelmed by all the add-ons available. I really want to find things that actually add value or protect the interior without looking cheap.
Specifically, I am looking into:
Are there any specific brands or hidden gem accessories that you guys swear by for the NX PHEV? I would love to hear what is actually worth the money!
Jumping in here to add a few things that usually fly under the radar for new owners. For the cargo area, definitely check out TuxMat Custom Car Floor Mats for Lexus NX 450h+. Most people go for the standard rubber trays, but these look way more high-end and cover almost all the carpeted bits, which is great if you're hauling messy gear. Regarding the charging setup, safety is key so dont just let the cable dangle. I use the Megeche EV Charger Cable Organizer with J1772 Dock to keep the stress off the wall outlet and the cars port. Its a small investment to prevent expensive electrical wear later. For resources, i highly recommend bookmarking the ClubLexus NX subforum. Its basically the ultimate library for us. If the other screen protectors dont work for you, RUIYA 14 Inch Matte Screen Protector for 2024 Lexus NX has been great for reducing glare during midday driving. Enjoy the new ride!
Just saw this. If youre comparing cargo liners, the WeatherTech FloorLiner HP for Lexus NX 450h+ uses high-end TPE that stays flexible in cold weather, unlike the rigid Husky Liners WeatherBeater for Lexus NX. For cable management, the Grizzl-E Heavy Duty EV Charging Cable Organizer is solid aluminum, which is way more durable than those plastic J-hooks that tend to snap under the weight of a heavy 24ft Level 2 cable.
Welcome to the club! I have been driving my NX 450h+ for about a year now and honestly, the biggest thing I learned early on is that the piano black trim and the trunk area take a beating if you are not careful. I actually went a slightly different route than the usual OEM stuff for protection. Quick tip for your cargo area: if you find the factory tray a bit too slippery, I switched over to the WeatherTech Cargo Liner for 2024 Lexus NX 450h+ because it has a more rubberized grip. It keeps my gear from sliding around during cornering way better than the hard plastic variants. Regarding the screen, I actually preferred the Vancro 14-inch Anti-Glare Screen Protector because the texture feels a bit more like paper and handles fingerprints slightly better than the thicker glass ones in my experience. One technical thing I learned the hard way tho: these PHEVs have surprisingly small 12V batteries compared to the big traction battery. If you are gonna install a dash cam or any always-on electronics, make sure you use something like the BlackVue Power Magic Pro to prevent it from draining your 12V system while parked. I had a dead battery once because I did not realize how sensitive the electronics are when the car is just sitting. Enjoy the car, it is seriously a beast in EV mode once you get the hang of the regen braking!
Congrats on the 450h+. For the trunk, the Lexus Genuine Cargo Tray PT924-76220-20 has the best tolerances for the PHEV floor height. For that 14-inch screen, get the Spigen Glas.tR Slim EZ Fit Matte to cut glare. Also, the Lectron J1772 EV Charger Nozzle Holster is basically the most effective way to manage cable tension and protect those connector pins.
