2026 Lexus NX 350h Premium

The NX 350h is the hybrid version of Lexus's compact SUV, slotting between the UX and RX with a focus on efficiency and refinement. It competes with the BMW X3, Audi Q5, and Volvo XC60, but its hybrid drivetrain gives it a clear edge in fuel economy. The hybrid system delivers smooth, seamless acceleration around town, and the CVT keeps the engine hushed unless you press hard. The ride is composed and quiet, though the F Sport Handling trim's firmer suspension trades a bit of comfort for sharper cornering. Inside, the NX offers a modern cabin with a large touchscreen, comfortable seats, and generous passenger space for a compact SUV. The Premium sits between the base and Luxury trims, adding a power liftgate, heated and ventilated front seats, and a moonroof over the standard NX 350h. Its 2.5L I4 hybrid makes 240 horsepower routed through a CVT to front-wheel drive, and you'll see 40 mpg combined in real-world driving. The Premium's heated and ventilated front seats with driver memory are a step up you won't find on the base or Premium AWD trims.
