Opinion on 2.4L turbocharged 4 Cylinder??? Are turbocharged engines any good? Model is Lexus NX.

Just realize it’s a fairly new (several years old) turbocharged engine with 3 thermostats (more complexity) and won’t last as long as a naturally aspirated engine - assuming you wanted to keep for a very long time and rack up the miles well past 100/150,000 miles. Aside from that they are decent vehicles and I trust Toyota’s turbocharged engines over the luxury competition. But personally I’d go for the Lexus RX350 with the true and tried naturally aspirated V6 OR the Toyota RAV4 (which only have naturally aspirated engines - and not turbocharged engines) for longevity over the Lexus NX. Now, if you plan to get rid of before 150,000 miles then it’s probably fine.
Depends on how they’re designed and if quality parts are used. Lexus so Toyota, the Japanese are excellent engine builders that tend to fix and improve upon mistakes to design a solid product.
