2026 Lexus NX

The redesigned 2022 Lexus NX looks much like the outgoing model, but beneath that familiar design is a raft of improvements. The cabin is completely transformed, with a more modern instrument panel, larger infotainment screen, and increased passenger space. There are four powertrains available: a base engine that's less powerful than before, a stronger turbocharged choice, a hybrid, and a plug-in hybrid. A 9.8-inch infotainment screen and wireless phone connectivity is standard, and there is an available 14-inch screen. Both options use Lexus new next-gen multimedia interface. An optional 10-inch head-up display is new, putting key travel information right in the driver's view. Lexus claims that head- and legroom have increased for all passengers. Every 2022 NX comes standard with the Lexus Safety System+ 3.0 suite of active driver assistance features, including FCW, AEB with pedestrian detection, BSW, and RCTW. Several previously optional features became standard for 2025 including a power liftgate, auto rain-sensing wipers, and Lexus Intuitive Parking Assist -- a system which warns drivers of approaching objects while parking and can apply the brakes to reduce the risk of a parking collision. Lexus also added two USB type-C ports to the front console. The base NX 250 was dropped after the 2025 model year.
