Lexus NX300h 2018

The 2018 Lexus NX 300h range of configurations is currently priced from $45,887. Our most recent review of the 2018 Lexus NX 300h resulted in a score of 7.4 out of 10 for that particular example.

Carsguide Senior Journalist Richard Berry had this to say at the time: The standard of the SUVs in the mid-sized premium segment is so high – high in terms of features and tech, high for practicality and comfort, but also high for the way they drive, and this is an area in which the Lexus NX300h F Sport falls short. At the same time, apart from the much pricier Volvo XC60 T8, it’s the only hybrid among its rivals and the fuel saving is not to be dismissed. Still this is a premium good-looking package at a great price.

Lexus NX300h 2018 Interior

The Lexus NX certainly has a unique interior. As these images show, its dashboard juts out at the driver, making most of its physical controls easier to access, but it also means its multimedia system is set further back. There's also plenty of silver trim to brighten things up, while supple leather adorns the major touchpoints.

Lexus NX300h 2018 Q&As

Check out real-world situations relating to the Lexus NX 300h here, particularly what our experts have to say about them.

  • I am considering both Volvo XC60 B5 Inscription or Lexus NX300h F-Sport. I am wondering which is more reliable and suitable for long-term value?

    Although both these cars are similar in many ways, there’s one area where they take difference philosophies. And that’s in the way their hybrid systems are configured and prioritised.

    While the Lexus is more of a conventional hybrid with the electric motor doing a lot of the heavy lifting, the Volvo is what’s called a mild hybrid., As the name suggests, that means the electric power is limited to a 10kW boost when taking off or when the driver requires maximum acceleration.

    A mild hybrid layout does still operate the stop-start function and can harvest energy when slowing down, so it’s still a worthwhile slice of tech, but it won’t affect fuel consumption as much as the Lexus’ full hybrid system.

    Reliability is a bit of an unknown with any new car, but it’s fair to say that the Lexus’ reputation will count for something come trade-in time. Not to mention that, as the more hybrid-focussed of the pair, the Lexus might also be a little more future-proof.

  • Good pick for new SUV?

    There are lots of fresh contenders in that class, including the Porsche Macan — which has an 18-month waiting list. The pick is the Land Rover Discovery Sport. I give it The Tick and rate it well ahead of the NX for comfort, quietness and class.
