The 2018 Lexus NX doesn’t skimp on the features just because it’s a base model. Get top-notch amenities at an affordable price when you choose the NX model. Here are some qualities you’ll experience behind the wheel of this superior mid-sized SUV.
High Performance
The turbocharged 2.0L I4 engine with intelligent variable valve timing earns the Lexus NX its certified ultra-low emissions rating. This engine puts out 235 horsepower and 258 pound-feet of torque with a zero to 60 climb in 7.2 seconds and a top speed of 124 mph, impressive stats for a base-model SUV.
In the standard configuration, you’ll get four-wheel drive and a six-speed intelligent transmission offering different drive modes with the turn of a dial. Choose between ECO, normal, and sport to get the performance you want in every situation. ECO mode delivers the best fuel efficiency, normal mode harmonizes efficiency and performance for a perfect balance, and sport mode changes the powertrain for more responsive handling.
New Technology
Lexus Enform 2.0 is the infotainment system featured in the NX model. Access the best apps, like Pandora, Yelp, and more, follow the score of the game, and even keep an eye on your stocks from your vehicle. Passengers can connect to in-cabin WiFi with as many as five devices.
Control your music, interior climate, navigation, and more without reaching forward to the screen. A remote touchpad on the lower center console, next to the cup holders offers extra ease. Download the Lexus Enform app on your smartphone to start your engine, lock doors, and even check fuel levels.
Enjoy a high-definition, color screen with an option for a 10.3-inch display that shows a full-screen map when using navigation, so you can see exactly where you’re going. This smart system will also alert you to gas stations nearby when it recognizes your tank is running low.
Fuel Efficiency
A 15.9-gallon fuel tank with estimated 22 mpg in the city and 28 highway will keep fuel stops to a minimum. Choose the available hybrid model with a combined 31 mpg for even fewer stops.
Comfortable Room
Don’t sacrifice comfort for space. The rear seats fold down for added cargo space, but they also recline to offer a little luxury to backseat passengers. The rear door has a power, hands-free liftgate that opens when you move your foot near the sensor for easy loading. The 40/60 spilt in the rear seats gives you versatility.
Total Safety
Lexus Enform Safety Connect puts roadside assistance right where you need it with just the push of a button. A full, surround-view camera offers a bird’s-eye view of the vehicle and its surroundings for easy parking and safe maneuvering. Avoid collisions with blind spot monitoring and rear cross traffic alert systems. In the case of an accident, the cabin is filled with eight different airbags ready to protect precious cargo.
