Compact Luxury and Performance in the 2020 Lexus NX
February 26 2020, Lexus Laval
The Lexus NX is a luxury compact crossover that features the same craftsmanship, attention to detail, and performance pedigree that’s featured in larger Lexus SUVs. Two models comprise the lineup for 2020, including the NX 300 and NX 300h (hybrid). The flexibility of the drivetrains and capabilities make both trims fun to drive while meeting different needs.
The exterior of the NX blends style with capable equipment. This includes: 17-inch alloy wheels; wheel locks; LED daytime running lights, fog lamps, and clearance lamps; headlamp washers; roof-mounted spoiler; heated exterior mirrors; integrated external mirror signal lamps; variable windshield wipers and de-icer; and more.
Gas or Hybrid, the 2020 Lexus NX is about performance and efficiency
Two advanced engines help both trims carve out unique roles in the NX line. The AWD NX 300 is driven by a 2.0L turbocharged four-cylinder engine that produces 235 hp. Along with a six-speed Super Electronically Controlled Transmission, the 300 also includes Dynamic Torque Control System for added performance. Both NX trims also feature Drive Mode Select and Traction Control System. Drivetrain efficiencies help the NX 300 attain a fuel consumption rating of 10.7/8.5 L/100 km (city/highway).
For drivers who want to save at the pump and reduce their carbon footprint, the NX 300H combines the strength of a 2.5L four-cylinder Atkinson Cycle engine and the Lexus Hybrid Drive to create the best possible efficiency while generating 194 net hp. Paired with a continuously variable transmission for added efficiency, the 300H earns a fuel efficiency rating of 7.2/7.9 L/100km (city/highway).
The 2020 Lexus NX surrounds you in space, comfort, and convenience
Once inside the NX, the environment helps transition you to a better place. You can stretch out after a long day in the office with 1,088 mm of front legroom. And there’s 1,455/1,405 mm of front/rear shoulder room for more personal space. The 60/40 split rear seats go up and down to provide up to 1,545 litres of cargo volume for long trips and other tasks.
The standard-equipped eight-speaker audio system fills the cabin with your favourite soundtracks from the radio, your mobile device, and more. This combines with comfortable, luxurious seats and detailed trim to help you relax and establish a home away from home.
