2023 Lexus NX: Powertrains — and More —for Every Need

The adage "variety is the spice of life" certainly applies to the 2023 Lexus NX. Available with four distinct powertrains that distinguish its various trims, the Lexus NX appeals to both traditional and eco-friendly motorists. With a base MSRP of $39,755, the new Lexus NX is an SUV that boasts a spacious cabin and desirable features regardless of its powerplant.

Powertrain Options

Drivers who want to visit our Lexus dealership near Los Angeles, CA, to test-drive the Lexus NX must first decide which powertrain they want to try out. The SUV's base Lexus NX 250 trim relies on a 2.5-liter inline-four engine for power, delivering 203 horsepower and 184 lb-ft of torque.

Next is the Lexus NX 350 model, which sources its power from a turbocharged 2.4-liter inline-four engine. The latter engine generates 317 lb-ft of torque and 275 horsepower.

Two hybrid powertrains are also available in the SUV's venerable lineup. A traditional hybrid setup powers the Lexus NX 350h trim, and it produces 239 horsepower. The Lexus NX 450h+ model is a plug-in hybrid electric vehicle that charges through its regenerative brakes and an external power source, coming through with 302 horsepower the moment the vehicle's electric motors engage.
