2022 Lexus NX 400h Luxury SUV https://youtu.be/FjrXElFOrVY
2022 Lexus NX Redone with New Engines, New Infotainment, and a New Look. The latest NX will come in NX250, NX350, and NX350h versions, and a plug-in-hybrid NX400h+ joins the lineup with the RAV4 Prime's 302-hp AWD powertrain.
The NX is the second-bestselling Lexus model after the RX, so it's no surprise that the company is pulling out all the stops for the new 2022 NX. The second-generation model will arrive this fall with a new design, a new infotainment system, and a significantly broader range of powertrain options including a new turbo four-cylinder gas engine and a newly available plug-in-hybrid model.
The NX lineup starts off with the base NX250, which has the same naturally aspirated 2.5-liter inline-four as the RAV4, producing 203 horsepower and 184 pound-feet of torque. It has an eight-speed automatic transmission and either front- or all-wheel drive. In terms of power output, the next step up is the NX350h, which combines a 2.5-liter gasoline engine with two electric motor-generators for a total of 239 horsepower—20 hp more than the RAV4 hybrid. Lexus claims up to 36 mpg for the hybrid model.
The nonhybrid NX350 features a new turbo 2.4-liter inline-four with 275 hp and 317 pound-feet of torque, which should make it significantly quicker than the previous NX300 and its less powerful turbo 2.0-liter engine. It also has an eight-speed automatic transmission. And sitting at the top is the NX450h+ plug-in hybrid, which shares its all-wheel-drive 302-hp drivetrain with the surprisingly quick RAV4 Prime. Lexus claims the plug-in model will have an estimated electric driving range of 36 miles, compared with the RAV4 Prime's EPA-estimated 42-mile range.
The NX's new exterior design isn't revolutionary, but we think the spindle grille design is better integrated than before. Out back, the NX incorporates a new "Lexus" script across the tailgate with a different font in place of the typical oval "L" logo, which remains in front.
