Toyota Prius Vs Lexus NX, Which Is More Reliable?

1. Toyota Prius

The Toyota Prius is a 4 door, 5 door full hybrid electric automobile developed and manufactured by Toyota. It has been in production since the year 1997. The Toyota Prius is the first ever hybrid car to be produced and it is also the best of the best among all hybrid cars. The Toyota Automobile Company made the Toyota Prius in a way that, it stands out and unique from every other car in the world. The car has an electric motor to assist the petrol motor.

The one major reason why the Toyota Prius is very popular is because, the Prius uses about half as much fuel as an equivalent sized car. The car did not win the hearts of many people because it is best looking or eye catchy, but due to good grades, leadership abilities, and exceptional talent. When idling, the petrol motor shuts off all together.

If you are interested in buy a hybrid or an electric car, there is no other choice than the Toyota Prius. It gives you a smooth ride and unbelievably good fuel economy ratings. It also has more cargo room than most competitors.

Back view of the Toyota Prius

The Toyota Prius is expected to last about 200, 000 miles if you take very good care of it. Now because the car lasts longer, some people will think the car' s value depreciate easily. No. Unlike other car companies, even a second hand or used Toyota Prius is still worth the money. What this means is that, if you have a Toyota Prius and you fed up so you want to sell it, you can still sell it at a higher price because it is worth it.

The only reason why you wouldn' t buy a Toyota Prius car is because of the tires. The tires of the Toyota Prius are designed for getting good mileage and enjoying the ride but not for absorbing every shock in the road. The Toyota RAV4 can be bought in place of the Toyota Prius. According to Toyota Automobile Company, the Toyota RAV4 Hybrid sold 92, 525 units in 2019, beating out the Toyota Prius, which sold 69, 718 units which means the Toyota RAV4 is the best selling hybrid but it still doesn' t make it the best.

2. Lexus NX

The Lexus NX is a compact luxury crossover SUV sold by Lexus, a luxury division of Toyota. It was first introduced in late 2014 as a 2015 Model. The name NX stands for Nimble Crossover. Anytime we mention Lexus and Toyota, people begin to say Lexus is just a fancy Toyota. It may be true but let me tell you something. Supposing you have a house which is 3 storey building and you try to build a new house at a new site. You try as much as possible to make sure the new house you are putting up overcomes the old one. So maybe you then build it as a 4 storey building just to make the new one superior than the old one. And I guess that is what Toyota did.

Toyota put in all their best to build the Lexus company and now the Lexus car brand is rated as the best car company in the world in terms of reliability with Toyota been the second best car company to produce reliable cars. The Lexus cars also edges out Toyota cars even though they might be built by the same people or staffs. They might be made by Toyota Automobile Company but most of the Lexus cars are totally designed differently and have different engines, suspension systems which makes them different from Toyota.
