Lexus NX trim levels explained

By CarWhere Research · Updated November 5, 2026

The 2026 Lexus NX comes as the NX 350h hybrid (240 hp, FWD or AWD), the turbo NX 350 (275 hp, AWD) and the NX 450h+ plug-in (304 hp), in Standard, Premium, Luxury and F SPORT Handling grades. Prices run $44,175–$62,830 before a $1,395 delivery fee. For 2027 the NX goes hybrid-only.

Current NX trim levels: NX second generation (2022–present)

The second-generation NX rides on the GA-K platform. For 2026 the NX 350h added a front-wheel-drive version, F SPORT Handling became available on the hybrids, and the plug-in NX 450h+ gained a cheaper Premium grade; the NX 250 is no longer in the price list. Lexus has shown a heavily updated 2027 NX that drops the gas NX 350: it comes as the NX 350h (244 hp) or NX 450h+ (324 hp, more than 40 miles of estimated EV range, DC fast charging) in Premium, Premium+, F SPORT and Luxury grades. Lexus says 2027 pricing will come closer to the on-sale date, so the prices below are for 2026.[1][2]
