Now in its second generation, the NX is only available with a hybrid powertrain, and it incorporates some unique styling features to set it apart from the competition.

Lexus NX generations
Second Generation (2021 to Present)
With the release of the second-generation NX, the vehicle's appearance remained very similar even though most elements had been changed. As the premium relative of the Toyota RAV4, the NX shares a platform with the Highlander. In terms of the styling changes, the most notable is an expanded spindle grille that matched some others from the Lexus lineup.
Lexus modernised the cabin with high-tech upgrades, and the powertrains were upgraded to ensure maximum efficiency and power.

First Generation (2014 to 2021)
Lexus recognised that a smaller vehicle than the RX was needed, so the company released the NX in 2014. While it maintained nearly the same level of comfort as its larger sibling, it was more compact and could fit into parking spots better. The design followed suit with the RX's third-generation models for a cohesive appearance.
In 2017, an update was released with a reshaped front bumper and LED headlights that included built-in turn indicators. From the back, there was a new lower bumper installed. Lexus also offered a few different alloy wheel styles, ensuring a more stylish look.

Used Lexus NX information
Used Lexus NX FAQ's
Which is the most popular engine in the Lexus NX?
While there was a non-hybrid petrol engine available for a short time, the self-charging and plug-in hybrid powertrains are more popular. There has been an option between the self-charging 300h and 350h, along with a plug-in hybrid known as the 450h+, with the 300h proving popular among NX owners for its power and fuel economy.
Which are the most popular model variants?
Lexus offers the NX in several models, including Urban, Premium, Premium Plus, F Sport and Takumi. F Sport models tend to be the most popular among used models, with the newest lineup offering standard 20-inch alloy wheels, a larger 14.0-inch touchscreen display and adaptive high-beam headlights.
What optional extras should I look out for?
Customers should look out for heated leather seats, which make the drive more comfortable, while a wireless charging pad is helpful for those who spend a lot of time in the vehicle. There's also a panoramic roof to allow in more sunlight and an upgraded Mark Levinson stereo system for better sound quality.
Is the Lexus NX a good family car?
Yes, the NX may be smaller than the RX, but it offers plenty of room for a family. The boot space is also accommodating, ensuring that a family can carry luggage for a holiday weekend.
Is there a hybrid version of the Lexus NX?
While there used to be a petrol-only configuration, all NX models now include hybrid technology as standard. The 350+ is a self-charging hybrid that creates 238bhp, while the 450h+ Plug-in Hybrid produces 304bhp and offers up to 55 miles of electric-only driving.
Is the Lexus NX available as an automatic?
Most NX models come with a standard automatic transmission, as is the case with most hybrid engines. When there was a petrol motor available, it was offered with a manual gearbox, but this model is more difficult to find among used cars.
Is there a four-wheel drive version available?
Yes, the majority of NX models come equipped with all-wheel drive for better traction and control. However, there are a few front-wheel drive NX models available among used cars, which offer slightly improved fuel economy.
