Lexus NX 350

Lexus launched the second-generation NX in 2022, and with its fresh styling, updated driver-assist features, and improved technology, it became the NX 350. (A base-level NX 250, hybrid NX 350h, and plug-in hybrid NX 450h+ are covered separately.) High-quality materials are found throughout the cabin, and the NX 350 offers ample space for front- and rear-seat passengers. Perhaps the most significant improvement over its predecessor is the new Lexus infotainment system. The standard 9.8-inch or available 14-inch display uses a touchscreen system (unlike the previous version) and an intuitive natural voice interface. A full suite of advanced driver-assist systems comes standard on every NX 350, including adaptive cruise control with curve speed management and oncoming pedestrian detection and braking.

Powering the NX 350 is a 2.4-liter turbocharged engine delivering a healthy 275 horsepower, representing a considerable bump over the previous version. An eight-speed automatic transmission and all-wheel drive come standard on all NX 350 trims, with EPA-estimated fuel economy as high as 29 mpg on the highway.^†
