Although the Lexus NX shares its mid-size SUV platform with the Toyota RAV4, it has much loftier aspirations.
Introduced in 2015, the NX has become one of Lexus’s top selling nameplates. It competes alongside rivals in the premium segment like the BMW X3, Mercedes-Benz GLC, Jaguar F-Pace and Audi Q5.
Currently the NX ranges from the $57,500 NX NX300 Luxury (fwd) to the $79,088 NX NX300H Sports Luxury Hybrid (awd).
The NX has always been available with parent company Toyota’s Hybrid tech on at least one variant in the range. The NX was available from launch with either a 2.0-litre turbo or a 2.5-litre hybrid, both petrol in front- or all-wheel drive.
