2022 Lexus NX 350 review

1. Generous interior space

The 2022 NX 250 is only compact on the outside. On the inside, you get loads of room for people and things. With the rear seats in place, you'll find a generous 22.7 cu-ft of cargo space, but fold the rear seats and you max out at 46.9 cu-ft of space to help you master your next big shopping trip. In addition to seating for up to five people, the NX 250 delivers 36.1 inches of rear seat legroom to allow rear-seat passengers to stretch out a bit.

2. Great standard features

You'll be quite impressed with the base trim level of the 2022 Lexus NX 250. It has the latest comfort and convenience features you'd expect, all as standard. You'll find amazing stuff like power-adjustable and heated front seats with simulated leather upholstery, dual-zone automatic climate control, and a 10-speaker audio system. The NX 250 will certainly be a well-equipped addition to your garage.

3. All the tech

If you are looking for the latest technology and connectivity, the 2022 NX 250 has it. You'll get tech like Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto™ smartphone integration accessible via a nicely sized 9.8-inch center touchscreen, plus a suite of driver aids all as standard. Check out the top-spec Luxury trim level if you want to experience the huge 14-inch touchscreen and a heads-up display, while wireless smartphone charging and a 360-degree camera system are standalone options for any trim level.

4. Luxury touches

Naturally, Lexus doesn't skimp on luxury features in the 2022 NX 250. The mid-level Premium trim is a great option if you want ventilated front seats and a sunroof. Meanwhile, if you want to upgrade from the standard synthetic leather seating, the Luxury trim ups the ante with quilted leather upholstery and also adds a classy open-pore wood interior trim.

5. Fuel-sipping credentials

All trim levels are powered by a 2.5L four-cylinder engine making 203 horsepower with the option of all-wheel-drive as well. The standard front-wheel-drive version gets an EPA-estimated 26 city and 33 highway mpg.

Meanwhile, the AWD version gets slightly less at an EPA-estimated 25 city and 32 highway mpg. That means fewer stops on your next epic family road trip.
