Why it stands out

The 2020 Lexus NX stands out for blending a distinctive, angular design with the kind of luxury feel Lexus buyers expect. Its styling was a major part of its appeal from the start, and the NX’s reputation for reliability has remained one of its strongest selling points. It also has a premium cabin character, though Lexus did not make the model especially generous with standard equipment, so many desirable features were tied to option packs.

What makes the NX especially appealing is its broad mix of powertrains and its efficiency-minded hybrid option. The lineup included a 2.0-liter turbocharged four-cylinder with 235 horsepower and 258 lb-ft of torque, plus a hybrid that combined a 2.5-liter inline four-cylinder engine and an electric motor for 194 horsepower. The hybrid was the thriftier choice, with EPA combined figures of 33 mpg for FWD versions and 32 mpg for AWD models, compared with 25 mpg and 24 mpg for the turbocharged model. Lexus also gave the NX a sporty F Sport trim with firmer suspension and cosmetic changes, which broadened its appeal beyond buyers simply looking for comfort and efficiency.

For 2020 specifically, the NX benefited from the 2018 model-year update that brought restyled bumpers and headlamp inserts, equipment upgrades, a larger infotainment display, and the first availability of a head-up display. Safety was also strengthened with Lexus Safety System+ as standard, adding features such as pre-collision braking with pedestrian detection, lane-departure alert, lane-keep assist, radar cruise control, and intelligent high-beam headlamps. The main tradeoff is that the NX was not as rewarding to drive as some rivals, and its features could be frustratingly dependent on packages rather than standard equipment.
