2025 Lexus NX — Something for everyone



NX to feature four powertrains
including two hybrid electric models

    
(March 21, 2024) PLANO, Texas — For the 2025 model year, the NX line sees minor changes. Two new color options are available: Copper Crest (exterior) and Macadamia (interior, Luxury grade only). Inside, two USB Type-C ports are now included in the front console and a wireless charger is available on all grades. And Intuitive Parking Assist with Automatic Braking, Auto Rain Sensing Wipers, and Power Back Door are now standard.

The NX is offered in four grades: Standard, Premium, Luxury, and F SPORT Handling. For a full breakdown of the standard and available features by grade, please see the NX Specifications.

Under the “Lexus Electrified” vision, the NX line provides customers with a diverse mix of powertrains, including two hybrid electric models.

The NX 250 features a naturally aspirated, 2.5-liter 4-cylinder engine with start/stop functionality mated with an eight-speed transmission. This setup, available in both FWD and AWD options, has an EPA-estimated 28 combined MPG rating. The powerplant produces 203 horsepower and 184 lb. ft. of torque., resulting in 0-60 times of 8.2 seconds (FWD) and 8.6 seconds (AWD), and has an EPA-estimated 28 combined miles per gallon rating.



The NX 350h brings power and fuel economy improvements, pairing the D4-S fuel injection 2.5-liter, 4-cylinder gasoline engine with two high-torque electric drive motor-generators for strong acceleration and passing performance. Instead of transfer gears and a driveshaft to the rear wheels, the AWD system employs a second, independent electric motor to drive the rear wheels when it detects it is needed to help support traction.

The hybrid powertrain produces 240 combined system horsepower, a 0-60 time of 7.2 seconds and has a combined EPA-estimated 39 MPG rating.


The NX 450h+ has an EPA-estimated 37-mile range rating on electric power only, made possible by the high-capacity lithium-ion battery. The system has an EV output equivalent to a 2.0-liter engine for an EPA-estimated combined 84 MPGe rating. When combined with the hybrid transaxle, a 2.5-liter inline 4-cylinder engine delivers on the performance luxury customers are seeking with an estimated 6.0 second 0-60 time.
