Used 2021 Lexus NX 300h SUV Trims Comparison

Trim level differences

The 2021 Lexus NX 300h is a five-seat compact hybrid SUV that's available in three trim levels: base 300h, Luxury and F Sport Black Line. All trim levels come with a hybrid system that includes a 2.5-liter four-cylinder engine and delivers a total of 194 horsepower. The NX 300h is available only with all-wheel drive.

Standard equipment on the base 300h includes:

  • LED headlights, foglights and running lights
  • Automatic dual-zone climate control
  • Power-adjustable front seats and a power-adjustable steering wheel
  • Simulated leather upholstery (Lexus' NuLuxe)
  • 60/40-split folding and reclining back seat

For tech features, the base 300h includes:

  • Apple CarPlay and Android Auto compatibility
  • 8-inch infotainment display with a touchpad interface (Remote Touch)
  • Eight-speaker sound system

Standard safety features include:

  • Adaptive cruise control (maintains a driver-set distance between the Lexus and the car in front)
  • Forward collision mitigation (warns you of an impending collision and applies the brakes in certain scenarios)
  • Lane keeping assist (steers the NX 300h back into its lane if it begins to drift over the lane marker)
  • Blind-spot monitor (alerts you if a vehicle in the next lane over is in your blind spot)

The Luxury trim level comes with:

  • 10.3-inch display with navigation
  • Upgraded leather upholstery
  • Heated and ventilated front seats
  • Power-sliding moonroof

On top of the base items, the F Sport Black Line adds:

  • Sport-tuned suspension
  • Unique exterior trim including a unique front grille and color-matched fenders
  • Blue interior accent stitching and sport front seats
  • Heated and ventilated front seats
  • Front and rear parking sensors
  • Heated steering wheel

Most options are available across all trim levels in packages or as stand-alone items and include: 

  • Towing package with a 1,500-pound towing capacity
  • 360-degree parking camera
  • Adaptive headlights
  • Power-folding and -reclining rear seats
  • 10-speaker premium or 14-speaker Mark Levinson audio system

Which NX 300h trim does Edmunds recommend?

The base NX 300h offers quite a bit of standard equipment, especially in the form of driver safety aids, so that's the trim level we recommend. You'll also have access, either in packages or à la carte, to most of the options from the upper trim levels if you want to step things up a bit.
