The interior of the Lexus NX is pleasant and feels well-built with flush joinery, thick soft touchpoints and premium materials throughout.

Seating is comfortable and well-padded, cabin noises are at a minimum and everything is user-friendly.

The dashboard is headlined by a 9.8-inch touchscreen multimedia display but is upgraded to a 14-inch display on higher grades.

Standard accessories in the Lexus NX include keyless entry/ start, rain-sensing wipers, dusk-sensing LED lights, daytime running lights, dual-zone climate control, a leather steering wheel, a reversing camera, front/rear parking sensors, a powered tailgate, electric front seats with heating, a power-adjustable steering wheel column, a touchscreen multimedia display, four USB-C ports, two 12-volt sockets and a wireless charging pad.

The Lexus NX250 has a 2.5-litre four-cylinder petrol engine, which produces up to 152kW of power and 247Nm of torque.

The Lexus NX350h F Sport has a 2.5L four-cylinder petrol engine and single electric motor, which produce up to 179kW of power, but Lexus doesn't quote the combined torque figure.

The Lexus NX450h+ F Sport has a 2.5-litre four-cylinder petrol engine paired with dual electric motors, which produce up to 227kW of power, but Lexus doesn't quote the combined torque figure.

The Lexus NX is offered with five seats in a 2/3 configuration.

All models enjoy electric front seats with heating, and on base models a synthetic leather upholstery is standard.

Cooling functionality and leather upholstery in a variety of colours are available on higher grades.

The rear seat has a 60/40 split and features a fold-down armrest with two cupholders.

None of the Lexus NX grades have an official 0-100km/h sprint time, but the NX250 can achieve it in around eight seconds, and the NX350h F Sport can do it in around seven seconds. The NX450h+ F Sport can manage it in around 6.3 seconds.

Top speeds sit around 200km/h.

The Lexus NX250 has an official combined fuel cycle figure of 6.9L/100km and a 55L fuel tank, giving it a theoretical driving range of up to 797km.

The Lexus NX350h F Sport has an official combined fuel cycle figure of 5.0L/100km and a 55L fuel tank, giving it a theoretical driving range of up to 1100km.

The Lexus NX450h+ F Sport has up to 87km of pure-electric driving range, and and official combined fuel cycle figure of 1.3L/100km and a 55L fuel tank — but real-world figures wouldn't reflect the theoretical '4230km' driving range that would give you.

A minimum of 95 RON unleaded petrol is recommended for all models.
