2020 Lexus NX 300h AWD CVT

Model Highlights

The Lexus NX is available in two basic guises, NX 300 and NX 300h. The NX 300 is powered by a turbocharged 2.0L, 4-cylinder engine that makes 235 horsepower. Power is sent to the front wheels via a 6-speed automatic transmission. All-wheel drive is an option across the entire NX lineup. The NX 300h is powered by a 2.5L, 4-cylinder engine that is assisted by an electric motor. Lexus has developed a "kick-down" feature for its hybrid system, which allows for more immediate power delivery on the highway. The NX is a Lexus in every sense of the word and comes accordingly with a nice list of standard equipment. This includes a smart key with easy access entry, a push-button start, dual-zone automatic climate control, one-touch power windows, Dynamic Radar Cruise Control, a leather-wrapped steering wheel and shift knob, an 8-inch LCD display with an optional 10.3-inch touchscreen display in the center dash, an 8-speaker premium sound system and Lexus' Enform Safety Connect system along with a host of advanced Lexus safety features. Several option packages are available to help steer the NX toward either additional comfort or a sportier driving experience. The F SPORT package includes stiffer suspension, a racier interior with various "F" badges, a more aggressive front grille, perforated leather on the steering wheel and shift knob, a black headliner, a boost gauge, steering wheel mounted paddle shifters and 18-inch alloy wheels. The Luxury package takes the NX in the opposite direction by adding a heated steering wheel, perforated leather seating surfaces, wood interior trim, heated and ventilated front seats, rain sensing wipers and a power rear door. A Premium package features heated and ventilated front seats, a power operated moonroof, a blind spot monitor with rear cross traffic alert and 18-inch wheels. The Navigation package features a voice-activated navigation system, but also adds a touchpad to help control the system, as well as a host of other technology features. These include Lexus' Enform app suite, a 10-speaker premium sound system, SiriusXM satellite radio and an additional USB port.
