Lexus NX (2022-present) Pros and Cons

Pros	Cons
Smooth, comfortable ride	Petrol engine sounds thrashy when pushed
Feels refreshingly different from German rivals	Too much body lean in corners
Enviable reputation for reliability	Rear-seat area is a little dark

Quick Summary

The Lexus NX (2022-present) is a premium mid-size SUV, with the NX 450h+ plug-in hybrid (PHEV) leading the range. As a distinctive alternative to German rivals like the Audi Q5 and BMW X3, this generation builds on the success of its predecessor with all-new underpinnings and a refined design. Crucially, the PHEV offers a practical all-electric range of over 40 miles and boasts a generous 521-litre boot, which unlike in many rivals, is not compromised by the hybrid system's battery pack.

The NX prioritises a relaxing and comfortable driving experience over sporty dynamics, with a smooth ride and quiet cabin that make it an excellent long-distance cruiser. While the hybrid powertrain provides effortless and brisk acceleration, the 2.5-litre petrol engine can sound strained under heavy load. Inside, the cabin is well-equipped and features a large, user-friendly 14-inch touchscreen on higher trims. Running costs for the PHEV are low for drivers who can charge regularly at home, while a self-charging hybrid model offers a sensible alternative.

Best for: Drivers who value comfort, reliability, a premium feel without the German badge, and the benefits of a well-executed plug-in hybrid system.

Not ideal for: Buyers seeking a sporty, dynamic driving experience, those who dislike CVT gearboxes under hard acceleration, or those who find the rear cabin a bit dark.


Comparison vs Key Rivals



The Verdict

You should buy the NX if: You prioritise comfort, a high-quality interior, and proven reliability, and are looking for an efficient plug-in hybrid with a distinct style.

Consider alternatives if: You want a more engaging, sporty driving experience or dislike the sound of a CVT gearbox under hard acceleration.

Competitive Position: The Lexus NX is a very appealing premium SUV that successfully carves its own niche. It's a compelling choice for those who value comfort, intelligent design, and hybrid efficiency over the sportier feel of its German rivals. With a well-crafted interior, impressive technology, and Lexus's renowned reliability, it stands as a strong and refreshingly different contender in a competitive market.
