2024 Lexus NX 350 Base

The 2024 NX 350 is a compact luxury SUV that slots between the UX and RX in Lexus's lineup. It competes with the BMW X3, Audi Q5, and Volvo XC60 in the crowded compact luxury segment. The turbo four pulls strongly from low revs, making the NX 350 feel quicker than its numbers suggest. The ride is composed and quiet on the highway, though the F Sport Handling trim firms things up noticeably. The cabin is well built and spacious for four, with a large touchscreen and comfortable front seats. Standard heated front seats and the 9.8-inch touchscreen set the Base apart from the Premium and F Sport trims above it. The 2.4L I4 makes 275 horsepower and 317 lb-ft of torque, routed through a eight-speed automatic to all-wheel drive, good for 24 mpg combined. You get Drive Mode Select with Sport, Normal, and Eco settings, and the ride stays composed over broken pavement.
