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 is the sweet spot for shoppers who want the heated and ventilated front seats and memory settings without stepping up to the Luxury trim. The Premium adds a power moonroof and a hands-free power liftgate, features that make daily errands noticeably easier.
