Used 2023 Lexus NX 450h+ SUV Trims Comparison

Trim level differences

The 2023 Lexus NX 450h+ is offered in two trim levels: base and F Sport Handling. Both models are powered by a plug-in hybrid drivetrain consisting of a 2.5-liter four-cylinder gas engine and two electric motors (one front, one rear), which produce a combined 304 horsepower. All-wheel drive comes standard. Feature highlights include:

NX 450h+
The base NX 450h+ comes just about fully loaded with features, such as:

  • 20-inch alloy wheels
  • Sunroof

Advanced driver assist features (as part of Lexus' Safety System+ 3.0) include:

  • Adaptive cruise control (maintains a driver-set distance between the NX and the car in front)
  • Forward collision mitigation (warns you of an impending collision and applies the brakes in certain scenarios)
  • Lane departure warning (alerts you if the vehicle begins to drift out of its lane)
  • Lane keeping assistance (steers the NX back into its lane if it begins to drift over the lane marker)
  • Evasive steering assistance (enhances the forward collision mitigation system with steering-based collision avoidance)
  • Intersection turn assist (warns you of an impending collision during a left turn and applies the brakes in certain scenarios)
  • 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)
  • Parking sensors (alert you to obstacles that may not be visible in front of or behind the vehicle when parking. Can also automatically brake to avoid bumping into objects)
  • Automatic high beams

F Sport Handling
The F Sport builds on the base model's generous equipment list with:

  • 20-inch wheels
  • Adaptive sport-tuned suspension
  • More aggressive-looking front and rear styling
  • Black roof rails
  • F Sport front seats with enhanced bolsters

Significant options for the NX 450h+ include:

  • Wireless smartphone charger
  • Digital rearview camera
  • Surround-view camera system (gives you a top-down view of the NX and its surroundings for tight parking situations)
  • Automated lane change (with adaptive cruise control engaged, automatically changes lanes after driver briefly holds turn signal)
  • Front cross-traffic warning (warns of oncoming cross-traffic at intersections)
  • 6.6-kW onboard charger (allows for quicker recharging)
  • Automated parking system (base model only)
  • Lexus Digital Key (turns your smartphone into the vehicle's key)

Which NX 450h+ trim does Edmunds recommend?

Unless you like the darkened look of the F Sport, we recommend sticking with the base trim. The NX 450h+ comes with all the best standard and optional features from the NX lineup, though there are a handful of useful stand-alone options. The 6.6-kW onboard charger is worth considering for quicker charging times.
