2022 Lexus NX 350

The handling of the 2022 Lexus NX 350 F SPORT is one of its key defining characteristics, designed to be significantly sharper and more engaging than the standard NX models. The F SPORT Handling package elevates the driving dynamics through a combination of specialized hardware and tuning. Adaptive Variable Suspension (AVS): What it is: This is the crown jewel of the F SPORT Handling package. It's an electronically controlled suspension system that continuously adjusts damping force at each wheel in milliseconds. How it feels: In Normal or Eco modes, the ride is firm but compliant, soaking up bumps better than you might expect from a sport model. Switch to Sport S or Sport S+ mode, and the suspension instantly tightens up, significantly reducing body roll in corners and improving responsiveness. It effectively gives you two cars in one: a comfortable cruiser and a poised corner-carver. Sport-Tuned Springs and Dampers: Even without the AVS active, the physical components of the suspension are stiffer and lower than the standard NX, providing a lower center of gravity and a more connected feel to the road. Direct4 All-Wheel Drive System: What it is: This is an intelligent, electronically controlled AWD system that can vary the front/rear torque split from 50:50 to 20:80 in an instant. How it feels: Unlike traditional AWD that primarily sends power to the front wheels, the Direct4 system can send most of the power to the rear, giving the vehicle a more rear-wheel-drive-like character. When accelerating out of a corner, it pushes power to the rear for better traction and a more engaging feel. This system works seamlessly with the drive modes and AVS to enhance stability and agility. F SPORT-Tuned Electric Power Steering (EPS): The steering is tuned to be more responsive and provide better feedback than the standard model. While it won't match the raw feel of a hydraulic rack from a sports car, it is precise, well-weighted, and communicates what the front tires are doing better than most rivals in the luxury compact SUV segment. Performance Dampers: These are installed to increase body rigidity, which translates to sharper turn-in and less flex during aggressive maneuvers, making the chassis feel more solid and responsive. Exclusive 20-inch F SPORT Wheels and Tires: The model comes with striking 20-inch split-five-spoke wheels fitted with high-performance summer tires (or all-seasons, depending on the market and configuration). Impact: The large, low-profile tires provide exceptional grip and cornering stability but can transmit more road imperfections into the cabin, contributing to the firmer ride. CARFAX One-Owner.
