Used 2022 Lexus NX for Sale nearNew York, NY

How much does the 2022 Lexus NX cost?

Prices have softened 6.19% compared to this time last year, making it a favorable time to shop this model year.

There are 877 listings available, which gives you a meaningful amount of inventory to compare.

If you find a listing below $35,284.69, that's toward the low end of the year-round range and worth acting on quickly.

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 it backs that up with stylish design, impressive technology, and standard advanced safety features. It also feels more dynamic and more technologically advanced than the model it replaces.

The trade-offs are that it can be noisy and it lacks a physical tuning knob, and the tech-heavy cabin can take some getting used to. Even so, it fits you well if you want a compact luxury SUV with a modern presentation and a strong feature set.

35.7% of listings are priced as good or great deals, which suggests there are still some attractive opportunities if you shop carefully.

Is the 2022 Lexus NX reliable?

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

The 2022 NX is presented as a more refined and more technologically advanced redesign, and Lexus leans heavily on its brand pillars of bold design, advanced technology, electrification, and Lexus Driving Signature. That combination points to a vehicle built to feel modern and well integrated rather than dated or stripped down.

Its performance tuning is described as composed and capable, and the brand’s emphasis on advanced technology and safety suggests a well-developed ownership experience. The standard maintenance reminder service also helps keep routine upkeep on track.

For used buyers, the main long-term risk is that a feature-rich, highly integrated cabin can be more frustrating if you prefer simpler controls or want fewer electronic dependencies.

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

Accident-free inventory is solid at 77.5% — always verify the vehicle history report.

You should still check the history report carefully, because accident-free listings are strong but not universal. A pre-purchase inspection is especially important on a tech-heavy luxury SUV like this, since you’ll want to confirm that the touchscreen, driver-assistance systems, and cabin electronics all work as intended. Focus on overall condition, too, because the NX’s appeal depends heavily on how well it has been maintained.

Key things to evaluate:

• Trim level: The NX lineup includes base, Premium, F Sport, and Luxury trims, and the base model already brings a strong safety and technology foundation. The Luxury trim adds real leather and open pore wood trim, while the F Sport brings a more aggressive look with sport-bolstered seats, a black headliner, unique instrumentation, and 20-inch gloss black wheels.
• Powertrain: The NX 250 uses a 2.5-liter four-cylinder with 203 horsepower and front-wheel drive, while the NX 350 uses a turbocharged 2.4-liter four-cylinder with 275 horsepower and standard all-wheel drive. The NX 350h hybrid and NX 450h+ plug-in hybrid broaden the lineup further, with the hybrid delivering 39 mpg in combined driving and the plug-in hybrid offering 36 miles of electric range.
• 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 comes with Premium trim, along with adaptive front lighting, rain-sensing wipers, semi-autonomous parking assist with automatic braking, and rear cross-traffic braking.
• Infotainment: A 9.8-inch touchscreen is standard, and a 14-inch screen is available. Wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto are standard, along with OTA software updates, Voice Assistant technology, and connected services support.
• Fuel efficiency: The NX 350h offers 39 mpg in combined driving, and the NX 450h+ delivers 36 miles of pure electric range before switching to hybrid operation. The NX 350 is estimated at 25 mpg in combined driving.

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 value play if you want the NX’s core strengths without stretching for extras. You still get the redesigned cabin, standard wireless smartphone integration, OTA updates, and the full Lexus Safety System+ 3.0 suite.
• Premium: This is the best-value trim if you want the most meaningful safety and convenience upgrades without jumping all the way to the top. It adds rear pedestrian detection, adaptive front lighting, rain-sensing wipers, semi-autonomous parking assist with automatic braking, and rear cross-traffic braking.
• F Sport: Choose this if you want the NX to feel more athletic and visually distinct. It adds sport-bolstered seats, a black headliner, unique instrumentation, a G-force meter, dark interior trim, alloy pedals, scuff plates, and a more aggressive exterior treatment.
• Luxury: Pick this if you want the most upscale cabin presentation. It adds real leather and open pore wood trim, making it the most premium-feeling version of the NX described here.

Lexus Safety System+ 3.0 is standard, but Premium trim adds several extra safety and parking features.

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

What is the 2022 Lexus NX's resale value?

The current average of $35,557 sits slightly below last year's $37,904.

That softer pricing suggests the market has already adjusted downward, which can help you buy at a more favorable point in the cycle. If you plan to sell later, the current discount may limit some near-term upside, but it also means you’re entering ownership at a lower cost basis.

The NX’s strong feature content and broad appeal should help it remain attractive to used shoppers. Vehicles with strong owner satisfaction ratings, like this model year's 5/5, tend to retain buyer demand, which supports resale value over time.

Should I buy a 2022 Lexus NX or consider a different year?

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

Choose the 2022 if:

• 35.7% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
• Accident-free inventory is solid at 77.5% — always verify the vehicle history report.
• Price trend: Prices have softened 6.19% compared with last year.
• Owners rate it 5/5 — a strong satisfaction signal.
• The redesign brings bold design, advanced technology, electrification, and Lexus Driving Signature together in one package.

Consider the 2021 if:

• At $28,700, the 2021 costs less than the current year's $35,557 average.
• It stands out for good looks, a high-quality interior, and agile driving dynamics.

The bottom line: If you want the newer design, stronger tech, and standard safety depth, 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 compromises.
