They treated with nice coffee, a super luxurious lounge to get some work done and a free replacement car. Last time was UX 250h which I did not like as such, however this time, it was a brand new ES 300H.

Lexus NX300H 1 year ownership, ~205k kms, major annual service updates
It’s been a couple of months and time for another update.
A year and a month of ownership has passed and I got major service done last week, together with a mandatory fitness/roadworthiness check [APK]. I was expecting this to be an easy one, but that was not the case.
Major service (205k kms) included below.
- All scheduled fluid and filter changes
- Hybrid system check
- Wheel alignment
- Fitness [It’s free when major service is done at the same time]
- Exteriors wash
- Front break discs and break pads changed
- Water pump changed (It had a small leak that was slowly expanding).
With that, car including the hybrid system has another year of guarantee and free roadside assistance.
The last two were a bit of unexpected ones and overall it cost way more than what I was hoping the annual major service to cost. But on the other hand, its a 2 lakh run car, and wear and tear replacements are to be expected – it’s also good to see that no other parts including the hybrid system had any issues so far. I also confirmed that break discs and water pump were first-time replacements – so the life of 205k kms seems reasonable to me.
Just like previous times, I went to the Lexus showroom [Louwman Exclusive Cars] and obviously, that is more expensive than other garages, however, their customer service is the best in business.

Louwman Exclusive Cars is a multi-brand showroom and there are always some nice cars worth a walk around.
Time for some numbers:
- Total Kms run: 204955 as of last refuel.
- Overall fuel efficiency: 14.27 KMPL
- Avg Kms per day: 75.4
What is coming up:
Two trips are coming up.
April last week to May first week: Destination not decided but for sure we will have a break as it is school vacation time.May second week: including two holidays + weekend, we have 4 days, planning to head to Dresden which is a nice German city. The Idea is to spend a day in the city and rest at nearby hiking trails.Another minor update is about Dashcam. After some 10 years of service across all the cars I drove so far here in NL, I decided to retire an old but trusty Transcend a few months ago and replaced that with a Red Tiger f7n. However unfortunately it had some sensor issues and I had to return it. I have now just bought another one – Viofo A129 Pro 2CH Duo – I need to get this installed.
That is all that I have for now. See you later!
Thanks,
Dileep
