On the test was an NX 300h AWD car in the top of the range Exclusive. I will briefly list all the most significant things in the car: parking sensors, headlight washers, LED headlights for low and high beam, LED fog lights, LED lights and room lighting, smart key, side mirrors with auto-dimming, panorama, 18-inch wheels, wireless charging phone, navigation, two-zone climate, leather interior made of leatherette, heated steering wheel, the "Nold" system appears (with the help of which you do not need to keep your foot on the brake when stopping).
The car immediately fell in love with its excellent appearance - the exterior is really what you need. As for the interior, it is obvious that such a car is full of innovations and various electronics. On the highway, the car drives excellently, although the suspension is a little stiff, but as for me, this is quite normal, because in return I get a lot of all sorts of different pleasant things. For example, a powerful engine and a spacious luggage compartment. By the way, some say that their suspension is falling - everything is fine with me after one hundred thousand km. mileage. After sixty thousand km. my machine glitched a little, but I quickly corrected it from the master. Pleases economical fuel consumption - no more than nine liters per hundred square meters in the combined cycle. I definitely advise you to purchase, but only after a test drive, because the cost of the car is quite high.
