2026 Lexus NX Trims Comparison
Which 2026 NX trim does Edmunds recommend?
Lexus hasn't released official information on the 2026 NX as of this writing. We'll update our recommendation if anything changes, but based on last year's model, the NX 350 with the Luxury package is the sweet spot in the NX's diverse lineup. Its turbocharged engine nicely balances power and efficiency, and the Luxury package gets you some worthy luxury features such as leather upholstery, a bigger center touchscreen and ventilated front seats.
2026 NX trim level differences
[Editor's note: The following unofficial information is based on last year's NX. We expect the 2026 model will have a similar lineup and we'll update this section once we have complete information.] The Lexus NX is a compact luxury SUV that is offered in four 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. 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).
