Lexus NX 300 F SPORT 4dr SUV Exterior Shown

When it comes to providing a quiet and comfortable ride experience, the 2020 Lexus NX 300 excels among luxury crossover SUVs. Performance places it midpack in the segment, and its smaller cargo capacity and high cost compared to more capable and spacious SUVs knock it down a few more pegs. But the biggest drawback is the frustrating infotainment interface, which might be the worst in the industry

LEXUS NX is a sweet spot for many...

Smart Buyer , 11/26/2019

2020 Lexus NX 300 4dr SUV (2.0L 4cyl Turbo 6A)

Very refined smaller SUV that feels bigger when operating; terrific quality as usual from LEXUS; base model feels well equipped with power tilt telescoping steering wheel, power rear door & power folding exterior rear view mirrors..safety features are great but we feel blind spot monitors and heated seats should be standard. Don’t miss the sunroof, rarely used anyway; eminent white over …

Checks off all the boxes

2020 Lexus NX 300 Luxury 4dr SUV (2.0L 4cyl Turbo 6A)

The 2020 NX300 Premium package checked all the boxes that my wife wanted. Motion activated tailgate [she calls it the hands full feature], parking assist, lane keep assistance.

Originally she …

We wanted an SUV that wasn’t too big in order to avoid struggling with parking since we live in the city so this size was …

2020 Lexus NX 300 4dr SUV (2.0L 4cyl Turbo 6A)

I considered several more expensive brands like Mercedes and BMW in this price range and chose the Lexus NX because of its' reliability and resale value. I've had it for 18 months and have experienced no problems. The touch pad is not as bad as it's made out to be. You get used to it. The ride is pretty smooth as long as you are on decent roads. The most valid criticism I've heard is …
