Do you know what the differences are from the UK and U.S. version?
Only thing I can guess that would be different are the cup holders, us mericans need bigger ones.

Big enough to fit the ridiculous Double Big Gulp from 7-11. lolDo you know what the differences are from the UK and U.S. version?

What made you choose the hybrid over the gas versions?
Thanks for the comments. UK/Europe vs US spec? Not sure, though I've seen some discussion about the US modification to front-end styling to enable the NX to qualify as a light truck for reasons apparently to do with corporate average fuel economy! And each market seems to create its own grades from the specs that Lexus offer. F-sport versions here have the adaptive suspension option which I understand isn't available in the US? Not sure about Canada.Big enough to fit the ridiculous Double Big Gulp from 7-11. lol

Hybrid vs gas? Here the NX200t is only available in F-sport, but as I'm a long-term hybrid driver there was no going back.
In Europe the NX competitors - Q5, X3 - mostly sell as diesels for reasons partly to do with CO2-emission-based taxation. With growing concern about air quality due to diesel particulates, Lexus's decision to emphasise hybrids here looks like a good long-term bet.
I didn't realize there were quite so many differences as far as what was offered between NA and Europe.
We might even see a growing amount of hydrogren lexus vehicles along with hybrids. Hydrogen is what they're pushing with toyota.Thanks for the comments. UK/Europe vs US spec?

Are there any hydrogen vehicles actually on sale right now though? Isn't it just one that is only available in California?We might even see a growing amount of hydrogren lexus vehicles along with hybrids. Hydrogen is what they're pushing with toyota.

$57,000? That's not the worst, but I am more curious about what the deal is with re-fueling. I imagine that you won't be traveling too far since I don't think there are hydrogen stations on every corner yet.
Their promo video does make it sound pretty cool though, and I think that it may be an actually more environmentally friendly option than electricity. How do they get the hydrogen, and am I correct in saying the only bi-product is water?

Depending on how well that goes I bet next up we could see a hydrogen SUV, crossover, or something bigger.
