Used 2022 Lexus NX for Sale nearMinneapolis, MN

How much does the 2022 Lexus NX cost?

Prices have softened 5.19% compared to this time last year, making it a favorable time to shop this model year.

There are 895 listings available, which gives you a decent amount of inventory to compare before you buy.

Is the 2022 Lexus NX a good car?

Yes — the 2022 Lexus NX earns a 5/5 user rating and a 7.83/10 expert rating. The standout strength is Safety at 10/10.

The redesigned NX is aimed at a young, affluent, diverse, and tech-savvy buyer, and its strongest appeal is easy to see in the stylish design, impressive technology, and standard advanced safety features. Those strengths make it a strong fit if you want a premium compact SUV that feels current and well equipped.

The trade-offs are just as clear: it is noisy, it has poor off-road capability, and it lacks a physical tuning knob. Even so, the NX’s modern identity and feature-rich presentation make it compelling if style and tech matter more to you than simplicity or ruggedness.

36.6% of listings are priced as good or great deals, which suggests there are still some attractive opportunities in the market.

Is the 2022 Lexus NX reliable?

Owners rate it 5/5, a strong signal of long-term satisfaction.

The 2022 NX is built around Lexus’s emphasis on advanced technology, electrification, and Lexus Driving Signature, and the expert evaluation describes it as a more dynamic improvement over the previous model. It also emphasizes a composed, capable feel on the road, which supports the case for solid everyday dependability.

The performance writeup also points to a turbocharged 2.4-liter engine that feels rewarding and a platform tuned for a lower center of gravity and reduced curb weight. On the ownership side, the tech suite includes Service Connect with maintenance reminders, which is a useful convenience for staying on top of routine care.

For used buyers, the main long-term risk is that a feature-heavy, highly integrated SUV can be more frustrating if neglected, so condition and maintenance history matter.

What should I look for when buying a used 2022 Lexus NX?

Accident-free inventory is solid at 78.5% — always verify the vehicle history report.

You should still check the history report carefully, because a clean listing percentage does not replace a proper records review. Prioritize a pre-purchase inspection that focuses on electronics, infotainment operation, and any signs of uneven wear or poor repair quality. It also makes sense to confirm that the vehicle’s controls, displays, and driver-assistance features all work as intended.

Key things to evaluate:

• Trim level: The NX lineup includes base, Premium, F Sport, and Luxury trims, and the base model is the one most likely to leave you wanting more equipment. The Luxury trim adds real leather and open-pore wood trim, while the F Sport brings sport-bolstered seats, a black headliner, unique instrumentation, and other sporty touches.
• Powertrain: The NX 250 uses a 2.5-liter four-cylinder with front-wheel drive and an available all-wheel-drive option, while the NX 350 uses a turbocharged 2.4-liter four-cylinder with standard all-wheel drive. The NX 350h hybrid and NX 450h+ plug-in hybrid are also part of the broader lineup.
• Safety package: Lexus Safety System+ 3.0 is standard and includes Risk Avoidance Emergency Steer Assist, Oncoming Vehicle Detection, Oncoming Pedestrian Detection, Curve Speed Management, Emergency Driving Stop System, blind-spot warning, rear cross-traffic warning, and Safe Exit Assist. Rear pedestrian detection is added with Premium trim, and a Vision Package brings a panoramic view monitor, front cross-traffic alert, and lane-change assistance.
• Infotainment: A 9.8-inch touchscreen is standard, with a 14-inch screen available. Wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto are standard, along with OTA software updates, Voice Assistant, and connected-service capability.
• Fuel efficiency: The NX 350h is rated at 39 mpg combined, and the NX 450h+ is estimated to deliver 36 miles of electric range. The NX 350 is estimated at 25 mpg combined.

Which 2022 Lexus NX trim should I buy?

The 2022 Lexus NX is offered in 4 trim levels: base, Premium, F Sport, and Luxury.

Here's the short version:

• base: This is the entry point, and it gives you the redesigned NX’s core strengths without the added cost of the higher trims. It makes sense if you want the new tech and safety foundation at the lowest price.
• Premium: This is the best-value trim if you want more comfort and safety equipment without jumping all the way to the top end. It adds rear pedestrian detection, an adaptive front lighting system, rain-sensing wipers, semi-autonomous parking assist with automatic braking, and rear cross-traffic braking.
• F Sport: Choose this if you want the sportiest look and feel. It adds a unique mesh-pattern grille, body-color fender trim, 20-inch gloss black wheels, black mirrors, sport-bolstered seats, a black headliner, and extra drive modes.
• Luxury: Pick this if you want the most upscale cabin. It adds real leather and open-pore wood trim, and it suits you best if comfort and premium materials matter more than sporty styling.

The safety package is strongest once you move beyond the base trim, so if advanced driver-assistance features matter most, compare Premium carefully against the lower trims.

Is now a good time to buy a used 2022 Lexus NX?

This looks like a moderate, selective buyer’s market, so you should shop carefully and be ready to move when you find a strong listing.

• Deal availability: 36.6% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
• Inventory: There are 895 listings available.
• Price trend: Prices have softened 5.19% compared with last year.
• Clean inventory: 78.5% of listings are accident-free.

If you find a listing below $35,270, that's toward the low end of the year-round range and worth acting on quickly.

What is the 2022 Lexus NX's resale value?

The current average of $35,513 sits slightly below last year's $37,458.

That price movement suggests the market has already adjusted downward, which can help you as a buyer today but may limit upside if you plan to resell soon. If you buy at a strong price and keep the vehicle in excellent condition, you can reduce the impact of that softer market.

The NX’s strong feature set and premium positioning should help it remain appealing to shoppers who want a modern luxury SUV. Vehicles with strong owner satisfaction ratings, like this model year's 5/5, tend to retain buyer demand, which supports resale value over time.

If you're weighing the 2022 against nearby model years, here's how to think about it:

Choose the 2022 if:

• 36.6% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
• Accident-free inventory is solid at 78.5% — always verify the vehicle history report.
• Price trend: Prices have softened 5.19% compared with last year.
• Owners rate it 5/5 — a strong satisfaction signal.
• The redesigned NX brings bold design, advanced technology, and standard advanced safety features.

• It offers a stylish design and a comfortable ride.

The bottom line: If you want the newer design, stronger tech, and standard safety upgrades, the 2022 is the better all-around choice. If your priority is spending less up front, the 2021 is the smarter value play, especially if you can live with its older-generation feel.
