The New Lexus NX Hybrid is like an all-new model joining the lineup, given that it makes several changes in the latest model year. They include more available powertrains, a refreshed exterior and interior, plus plenty of safety and driver assistant features, most standard in the lineup. The new Lexus NX Hybrid is the modernized crossover to consider if you want to finance one.
Its interior is well-articulated with several high-end materials that will have the attention of luxury seekers. It is a two-row crossover that features a seating capacity of five tops. The cabin is well-designed to filter out road and wind noise. The legroom and headroom don't disappoint, making it suitable for traveling with taller passengers. The cold-warm weather package is optional, and it adds heating and cooling surfaces, including the seats, steering wheel, and armrests. Leather upholstery and power-adjustable front seats come as standard, so is the illuminated locking glove box and a urethane gear shifter. You can opt for paddle shifters on the steering wheel for a more engaging ride. Not to forget its spacious cargo hold that measures 17 cubic feet with the rear seats upright.
Unlike the previous model, this new model comes with a 9.8-inch center display as standard and a 14-inch unit as optional. Each unit is meant to function well to inputs, and both have user-friendly menus. Apple CarPlay, Amazon Alexa, HD radio, Android Auto, and a Wi-Fi hotspot come standard on both units, except the navigation system offered on the optional center display. An audio system is also provided, and it can either be accompanied by ten speakers or 17 speakers, depending on the trim level. Push-button start, wireless device charging, and dual-zone automatic climate control are other tech features you'll come across in the trim lineup. The head-up display is also included, acting as a safety tech.
Its exterior is refreshed than most of its rivals around El Cajon and Escondido. It now gains a spindle grille and refined automatic headlights with high beam assist. An impression of depth at the front fascia is witnessed thanks to the U-shaped grille. Some lettering has replaced the L emblem at the rear fascia. Modernized bumpers also come along with black roof rack rails. Each trim gets massive alloy wheels that range from 18-inch to 20-inch.
The following safety features accompany the new Lexus NX Hybrid:
It comes with a non-turbo four-cylinder engine that feels punchy and suitable for daily commuting. The four-cylinder manages to pump out 203 horsepower. The optional turbo-four gives 275 horsepower. Both are mated with an eight-speed automatic. The engines can either be had with a front or all-wheel drive. As you move up the trim level, you'll get a hybrid variant that offers all-wheel-drive as standard since it comes with two electric motors.
This vehicle handles each driving scenario with composure, mainly around turns, thanks to its well-tuned steering wheel that delivers quick responses and an excellent braking system. Its massive wheels, suspension, and sufficient ground clearance also do their work in off-road situations, thus resulting in a smooth and delightful ride. The electric driving range with the hybrid variant is 36 miles.
Each engine offers great gas mileage ratings as long as you don't opt for the all-wheel-drive system, which is well-known to lower the ratings.
