A look at the 2023 Lexus NX

The 2023 Lexus NX returns this year with minimal changes after having been completely redesigned last year. The new Lexus NX features multiple powertrain options and also delivers remarkable safety features and the versatility you want out of your compact luxury SUV. The latest generation of the Lexus NX provides a range of electrified powertrains as well, with a hybrid and a plug-in hybrid model on offer. This is in addition to the base turbocharged four-cylinder engine found in every Lexus NX model. Let's take a look at what sets the 2023 Lexus NX apart from its competition.

Impressive hybrid powertrains

We have to start here because the 2023 Lexus NX truly is a unique SUV in its class with its hybrid and plug-in hybrid engine options.

The Lexus NX Hybrid is one of the few models of its kind in its class to offer a traditional hybrid engine. The Lexus NX 350h stands out by offering exceptional efficiency without requiring the driver to change his or her driving habits. Moreover, with 240 hp under your right foot, you don't have to sacrifice performance to enjoy the impressive 6.0-litre per 100 km average fuel consumption of the Lexus NX 350h.

The 2023 Lexus NX also comes with an available plug-in hybrid powertrain which delivers an impressive 304 hp, making it one of the most powerful luxury SUVs it is price range. Better yet, thanks to an advanced plug-in hybrid powertrain, you enjoy roughly 60 km all-electric range in the 2023 Lexus NX 450h. This gives you the ability to get through your daily commute without needing a single drop of fuel. Imagine the savings at the end of the year.

Base powertrains

Even the entry-level powertrain in the 2023 Lexus shines both with its efficiency and with its performance. The entry-level 2.5-litre four-cylinder delivers 203 horsepower while the available 2.4 L turbocharged four-cylinder engine gives you 275 hp.

Both engines provide ample performance with the base model also providing the kind of fuel consumption you won’t find in a traditional luxury compact SUV. As for the impressive turbocharged engine, it gives you the accelerations you're looking for from a stoplight or the performance you want when accelerating to pass another vehicle on the highway. The ample low-end torque improves confidence and makes every drive more enjoyable, and you get more horsepower than what you find in most competitors.

Safety

The 2023 Lexus NX also stands out in terms of its advanced safety features. The Lexus compact SUV delivers an impressive blend of driver assistance technologies that make every journey more enjoyable and a range of passive safety technologies that protect you should an accident occur. These safety technologies involve monitoring the road and protecting you from potential danger by intervening to apply the brakes or adjust your direction.

That said, the advanced Lexus Safety System+ 3.0 on the 2023 Lexus NX never takes away from the driving experience and it is never intrusive. It is the latest generation of Lexus safety with advanced features such as Left Turn Oncoming Vehicle Protection and Oncoming Vehicle Detection. Moreover, the NX can also detect curves ahead and adjust speed to navigate them safely when the adaptive cruise control system is activated.

Space

The other element that stands out about the 2023 Lexus NX is the interior space. The interior space is evident both inside the cabin with generous legroom front and back as well as generous headroom for the driver and passengers. There is over 900 mm of rear leg room, making the NX one of the most welcoming compact luxury SUVs in its class. There is also over 1,300 L of rear cargo space which is more than enough for your active lifestyle.

Reliability

Last but not least, the 2023 Lexus NX shines as one of the most reliable luxury vehicles in its class. Luxury and reliability rarely go together, but the Lexus NX delivers on both counts.
