Nx only offers dual zone climate control.  I guess they have vents for the rear seat?   The Envision Prem has tri-zone climate that is adjustable from the back seat or the driver can adjust the rear climate.

No one cares.

Buick doesn't offer faux leather like Lexus. Nor does Lexus NX have available vented seats or heads up display. 

Most Buick owners do not see the dealership after their first two, free oil changes.

That's not a dependability study. That's a dealership satisfaction study. If you go to the dealer multiple times because your car is unreliable, but are happy with the service department...the service department scores high.

You're confusing this with dependability.

Or they are happy to see the dealership for their two free oil changes.  Who wouldn't be happy with free stuff?

Our rear seat riding dogs would say otherwise on a hot day.  My black Lab would put his head on seat edge right by the vent.

My 1985 Audi 5000 had rear seat vents.

No power torque vectoring, only brake based even on the Fsport trim.  Funny Car & Driver compared the NX to the X1, GLA, Q5, and Q4
30, saying the only cuv with sport in its name but the least sporting in comparison.

If you’re only here to bash the NX and provoke confrontation, please leave. There is an Envision thread you can sing praises about your car to your heart’s desires.

I can't even realistically use this dude as a basis for generalization - he's in a category of one (albeit with a series of successive forum handles).

Do you guys actually enjoy this sh!t?
The stupid comments my NormT is getting past annoying point to me.
Why do you need a tri zone climate control in a compact car? Do you need a rearview mirror in a cargo van w/o rear windows?

wow, and I thought my bias towards Italian cars was bad...

If driving an Alfa does not restore vitality to your soul, then just pass the hospital and park at the morgue to save everyone time.

Now drives a Jaaaaaaag...and thus will not pay for anything during an outing...but it is OK, because....I drive a Jaaaaaag.
