What Lexus NX do most buyers choose?

The Lexus NX years with the most listings are 2025, 2024, and 2023.

These higher-volume years tend to be the most popular used picks because they give you more inventory to compare and more chances to find the right trim, color, and price. They also sit close enough to the current generation to deliver the NX’s modern styling and tech without jumping all the way to the newest pricing.

What is the Lexus NX's resale value?

Most model years are down year over year, which gives used buyers more room to find value. The declines are generally modest to moderate, with only one year showing a gain. That pattern suggests the NX remains in demand, but recent pricing has softened enough to create opportunities for shoppers.

The 2016 model year is holding steady, with prices close to flat year-over-year.

The 2017, 2016, and 2021 model years have held their value best, with the smallest year-over-year price changes.
