2024 Lexus NX SUV Trims Comparison

Trim level differences

The 2024 Lexus NX is a compact luxury SUV that is offered in for main versions: NX 250, NX 350, NX 350h and NX 450h+. This lineup can seem a little confusing at first, but in most cases, the only difference is the engine. The NX 250 is powered by a naturally aspirated 2.5-liter inline-four making 203 horsepower. It is the only NX available with front-wheel drive; the rest are exclusively all-wheel-drive. Keep reading for more information on the other NX models as well as our rundown of the NX's most significant standard and optional features.

The NX 350 employs a turbocharged 2.4-liter four-cylinder that generates 275 horsepower. Despite having a similar model designation, the NX 350h uses a version of the same 2.5-liter engine from the 250, but here it gets hybrid assistance and a total system output of 240 horsepower. In the NX 450h+, the 2.5-liter is joined by more powerful electric motors and a larger battery pack enabling 304 hp and an EPA-estimated 37 miles of electric range. The non-hybrid NXs use an eight-speed automatic transmission. Hybrid models have a continuously variable transmission (CVT).

Aside from their powertrains, the NX 250, 350 and 350h have the same standard equipment. There are also three main optional packages for the NX: Premium, Luxury and F Sport Handling.

Base NX
As noted above, standard equipment is the same for the NX 250, 350 and 350h. It includes:

  • 18-inch wheels
  • LED headlights
  • Keyless entry and push-button start
  • Dual-zone automatic climate control
  • Synthetic leather upholstery
  • Power-adjustable front seats
  • Heated front seats
  • 9.8-inch touchscreen
  • Cloud-based navigation system (subscription-based)
  • Android Auto and Apple CarPlay smartphone integration (both with wireless connectivity)
  • 10-speaker sound system

Lexus' Safety System+ 3.0 is also standard on every NX. It includes:

  • Adaptive cruise control (maintains a driver-set distance between the Lexus and the car in front)
  • Forward collision warning with automatic braking (warns you of an impending collision and applies the brakes in certain scenarios)
  • Intersection collision mitigation (warns you of an impending collision during a left turn and applies the brakes in certain scenarios)
  • Emergency steering assistance (provides additional steering input to help avoid a collision)
  • Lane keeping assistance (steers the NX back into its lane if it begins to drift over the lane marker)
  • Blind-spot warning with rear cross-traffic warning (alerts you if a vehicle is in your blind spot during a lane change or while in reverse)

Available on the NX 250, 350 and 350h, the Premium package adds:

  • Power liftgate
  • Sunroof
  • Ventilated front seats
  • Driver's seat memory settings
  • Power-adjustable steering column
  • Front and rear parking sensors with automatic braking

On the NX 350 and 350h, the available Luxury package includes:

  • Features from the Premium package
  • 20-inch wheels
  • Adaptive headlights (swivel as you turn the steering wheel for better illumination in curves)
  • Leather upholstery
  • Adjustable ambient cabin lighting
  • 14-inch touchscreen

Add the F Sport Handling package to either the NX 350 or the 450h+ and you'll get:

  • Adaptive sport suspension
  • Black 20-inch wheels
  • Adaptive headlights
  • Special grille and styling details
  • Sport seats with additional side bolstering
  • Head-up display
  • 14-inch touchscreen

Notable stand-alone options on the NX include:

  • Automated parking
  • Heated steering wheel (standard on the NX 450h+)
  • Wireless smartphone charger
  • Digital key (allows you to use your smartphone as a key to enter and drive the vehicle)
  • 17-speaker Mark Levinson audio system
  • Surround-view camera system (gives you a top-down view of the NX and its surroundings in tight parking situations)
  • Heated rear seats
  • Panoramic glass roof
  • More powerful onboard charger (NX 450h+)

Which NX trim does Edmunds recommend?

For all-around value, you'll likely be content with the standard NX 350 equipped with the available Premium package. It's one of the lesser-priced NX configurations but doesn't skimp out too much on appealing luxury features.
