Redefining the Art of the Everyday Commute

Explore the categories below to discover more about the features of the Lexus NX.

POISE

Lexus NX

However your week unfolds, the Lexus NX adapts with effortless confidence. From the quiet morning commute to dynamic weekend rides, the NX delivers power and poise in equal measure.

The Grace of Power

No two days are the same. While some call for comfortable cruising, others require a little extra punch. A standard 2.4L turbocharged engine delivers graceful power with 275 horsepower (HP) and 317 lb-ft of torque —output that strikes the perfect balance between calm and fierce.

Paired with an 8-speed Electronically Controlled Transmission with intelligence (ECT-i), the Lexus NX responds to performance input and anticipates by monitoring driving habits. Near-instant power shifts make merging onto highways seamless.

Race-inspired paddle shifters create a strong, tactile connection between driver, vehicle, and road. By overriding automatic transmission adjustments, they let you take control into your own hands. With each shift under your command, you direct the on-road experience.

Performance That Responds

Every mile on the road is met with tailored efficiency. The EPA-estimated 21 city/28 highway MPG rating makes mindful use of every drop of fuel, letting you take full advantage of the Lexus NX’s capabilities. Notable standard and available performance enhancements include:

  • Drive Mode Select: With three standard modes, including ECO for optimized fuel efficiency and Sport for an athletically tuned driving experience.
  • Adaptive Variable Suspension: Uses advanced sensors to automatically adjust the vehicle’s height to smooth out road imperfections.
  • 2,000-pound maximum towing capacity: Delivers the strength to haul a utility trailer when moving across town.

When the performance output and use of paddle shifters simply aren't enough, select trim levels feature a Sport S+ mode. When optionally equipped, this selectable mode maximizes performance responsiveness with a tighter suspension and steering feel and quickens the throttle response time. The result is a pulse-quickening commute and the perfect mid-week reward.

STYLE

Lexus NX

Simply put, the Lexus NX commands attention, not with flash but with presence. Its striking exterior features a long, wide stance, sloping lines, and sharp, angled contours. Inside, you'll find a sumptuous interior to match. The NX leaves a lasting impression on onlookers and those lucky enough to snag a seat inside.

A Statement in Motion

With eight eye-catching color options and three distinct wheel designs, the Lexus NX feels less like a standard SUV and more like an extension of your personal style. Perhaps your aesthetic lies in classic colors like Ultra White, Caviar, Cloudburst Gray, or Atomic Silver. If you prefer a statement-making shade, lean into one of these stunning hues:

  • Infrared: A deep, radiant red that captures attention with bold elegance and a touch of modern passion.
  • Grecian Water: A serene, blue-green hue that evokes the calm beauty of coastal waters under a Mediterranean sky.
  • Copper Crest: A warm, metallic bronze that reflects light with subtle sophistication and timeless richness.
  • Nori Green: A deep, earthy green with understated allure, inspired by nature’s quiet luxury.

Standard 18-inch 15-spoke alloy wheels with a Gray Metallic machined finish complete the poised stance, while the available F SPORT trim adds dynamic 20-inch Black wheels, among other sport-tuned accents, for athletic elegance with edge.

Bi-LED headlamps and LED blade taillamps ensure you're seen arriving and remembered leaving. These brilliant lights cut through even the darkest streets with precision, providing total visibility wherever you go to help you see and ensure you're seen coming and going.

Refinement in Every Detail

Step inside the Lexus NX and feel the shift from busy to balanced. Its driver-centric cockpit caters to your every need, ensuring complete comfort from the moment you slip behind the ergonomic leather-trimmed steering wheel until you arrive at your destination. With luxury at the heart of this SUV, there’s an abundance of standard and available features that redefine comfort, including:

  • 8-way power driver’s seat with 2-way power lumbar
  • NuLuxe® or perforated leather interior trim
  • Heated and ventilated front seats
  • Panorama glass roof
  • Thematic Ambient Illumination

Inside the NX, every passenger experiences first-class comfort thanks to an 8-way power front seat and available heated, power-folding rear seats.

But the interior of the NX proves to be just as functional as it is sophisticated. The 22.7-cubic-foot trunk provides ample room for stowing golf clubs or weekend luggage. When it’s time to transport home a statement rug or floor lamp you found while antiquing, fold down the rear seats to open a maximum cargo area of 46.9 cubic feet.

INTELLIGENCE

Lexus NX

What you see with the Lexus NX is only part of the total package. Intuitive, behind-the-scenes technology seamlessly provides a luxurious ride. From a human-centered interface to instinctive safety features, the NX works to keep you connected and protected.

Smart By Design

Connectivity is seamless with the Lexus NX, starting with the intuitive Lexus Interface. Alongside wireless Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto™ integration, a 9.8- or optional 14-inch central touchscreen makes it easy to access maps, music, apps, and more. Touch, tap, and swipe the screen as you would your phone, or use the built-in Voice Command or Intelligent Assistant to make cabin adjustments using natural-speech voice commands.

Standard and available tech features that make every ride feel easier include:

  • Wireless phone charger: Keeps devices charged without cluttering the cabin with charging cables.
  • Wi-Fi Connect: Turns the SUV into a mobile hotspot, making it easy to stream music without using your phone’s data.
  • Lexus Premium Sound System: Equips the cabin with 10 speakers for a crisp listening experience.

Audiophiles can upgrade to the Mark Levinson® PurePlay Surround Sound system. Featuring 17 strategically placed speakers and 1,800 watts of audio output, this available system transforms the NX’s cabin into your own personal concert hall where every note is crystal-clear.

Luxury Meets Safety

Safety is paramount. That's why every Lexus NX features the advanced Lexus Safety System+ 3.0 driver-assist suite. Sophisticated monitoring technology is placed around key areas of the NX. These cameras and sensors constantly scan for easy-to-miss hazards and deliver an audible or visual alert. When conditions are met, gentle braking or steering assistance may occur to help avoid a collision.

Features included with Lexus Safety System+ 3.0 are:

  • Full-Speed Range Dynamic Radar Cruise Control
  • Pre-Collision System with Pedestrian Detection
  • Lane Departure Alert with Steering Assist
  • Road Sign Assist
  • And more!

A standard Blind Spot Monitor with Rear Cross-Traffic Alert keeps watch in those hard-to-see areas to ensure safe passing, merging, and backing out of driveways and parking spaces with complete peace of mind.
