The 2025 Lexus NX 250, NX 350, NX 350h hybrid and NX 450h+ plug-in hybrid are compact luxury SUVs with a distinctive size and powertrain lineup.
Pros: Hybrid and PHEV are efficient and fun; sharp styling; lots of standard tech; top safety scores; good cargo space Cons: Some of that tech is frustrating to use ; less back seat space than some rivals Lexus clearly sees value in zigging where others zag when it comes to the size of its various SUVs. The 2025 Lexus NX is technically a compact SUV given its exterior dimensions, lining up with the Mercedes GLC, for instance, but inside it’s more like a GLA or various subcompact luxury SUVs.
That unfortunately does include issues with the tech, however. The infotainment system features either a standard 9.8-inch screen with dedicated physical climate control toggles or an optional 14-inch unit that incorporates a dedicated blend of touch-sensitive and physical comfort controls blended into the screen’s lower bezel. No matter which you choose, you get a physical volume knob.
What are the NX fuel economy and performance specs? The NX comes with four available engines and is offered in both front- and all-wheel-drive configurations. Ultimately, the most appealing and distinctive powertrain option is found in the NX 450h+ plug-in hybrid. Its electric motor provides the smooth, effortless punch expected of a PHEV thanks to its 304 total system horsepower. EPA estimates have the electric-only range at 37 miles. The miles-per-gallon-equivalent rating used to estimate a PHEV's fuel economy comes in at 84 MPG-e.
