Not only is the NX one of the most distinctively styled vehicles in this segment, it’s also the most identifiably SUV-like. Despite its large size, the NX is compact enough to park in tight spaces.

What’s New for 2018?

To differentiate it from last year’s model, Lexus has revised the NX’s front grille, front and rear bumpers, and taillamps. New wheel designs sporting a darker sheen look fresh, too, and a new color-called Caviar-joins the palette. The nonhybrid NX200t receives a new name for 2018 (NX300), and exterior badging on this model reflects its new moniker.

2017 Lexus NX

Longer, wider, and taller than its competitors, the NX won’t be confused for a hatchback or a station wagon as might some of its rivals. Its tall roof, tapered front bumper, and black lower-body cladding make it look like an SUV, but its dimensions still qualify for easy city parking. Its sharp creases and pinched body lines are unique; the NX300h hybrid adopts the same styling, plus hybrid badging along the bottoms of the rear doors.

Exterior Features

Our F Sport test car came with the optional sunroof. Rivals such as the BMW X1, the Lincoln MKC, and the Mercedes-Benz GLA250 offer panoramic sunroofs so that both rows of passengers can enjoy the sun.

The NX’s exterior styling may be groundbreaking, but its key fob certainly isn’t. With the black plastic square in your pocket, the NX will illuminate its door handles to greet you as you approach, and push-button start is provided once inside.
