Used 2022 Lexus NX 250 SUV Trims Comparison

Trim level differences

The 2022 NX 250 comes in one of three trim levels: Base, Premium and Luxury. All models are powered by a 2.5-liter four-cylinder engine (203 horsepower, 184 pound-feet of torque). Front-wheel drive comes standard and all-wheel drive is optional. The more powerful NX 350 and hybrid 350h and 450h+ are reviewed separately. Feature highlights for the NX 250 include:

Base
Kicks things off with:

  • 18-inch wheels
  • Power-adjustable, heated front seats
  • Simulated leather upholstery
  • 9.8-inch center touchscreen
  • Apple CarPlay and Android Auto integration (includes wireless connectivity)
  • Dual-zone automatic climate control
  • 10-speaker audio system

Every NX 250 also has the advanced driver-assist features:

  • Forward collision mitigation (warns you of an impending collision and applies the brakes in certain scenarios)
  • Lane departure alert (alerts you if the vehicle begins to drift out of its lane)
  • Lane keeping assist (steers the NX 250 back into its lane if it begins to drift over the lane marker)
  • Adaptive cruise control (maintains a driver-set distance between the NX 250 and the car in front)
  • Blind-spot monitor with rear cross-traffic alert (warns you if a vehicle is in your blind spot during a lane change or while in reverse)

Premium
This mid-level trim introduces extra features such as:

  • Ventilated front seats
  • Power-adjustable steering wheel
  • Sunroof
  • Rain-sensing windshield wipers
  • Power rear liftgate with kick sensor
  • Parking sensors with low-speed automatic braking

Luxury
At the top of the NX 250 lineup, this model offers:

  • 20-inch wheels
  • Head-up display (displays important information in your sight line on the windshield)
  • Open-pore wood interior trim
  • Quilted leather upholstery
  • 14-inch center touchscreen
  • Ambient cabin lighting

Notable standalone options include:

  • 17-speaker Mark Levinson sound system
  • Wireless smartphone charging pad
  • Power-folding, heated rear seats
  • 360-degree camera system (gives you a top-down view of the NX and its surroundings for tight parking situations)
  • Panoramic glass roof

Which NX 250 trim does Edmunds recommend?

A long list of standard features makes the base NX 250 an excellent choice for value-conscious shoppers. It comes with a sizeable center touchscreen and a comprehensive suite of driver aids. Do also consider the NX 350 and NX 450h if you're left underwhelmed by the NX 250's power.
