Overview

The 2016 Lexus NX 200tSUVis a proud member of the compact SUV segment, locking horns with cars like the Honda CR-V, the Lincoln MKC, and the Acura RDX. Spread across a single trim, the Lexus NX 200t starts off at a base price of MSRP of $34,965 and carries on to $36,365. Its 2.0L turbocharged inline-4 engine and 6-speed automatic transmissiongive the SUV 235 horsepower and 258 lb-ft of torque. With that, it manages a 0-60 of 7.3 seconds and boasts a towing capacity of 2,000 pounds. Moving to fuel economy, the Lexus NX 200t manages to get a combined EPA rating of 24 MPG, a number that is great for the class, and highly improves the Lexus NX 200t's practicality.

Buying Advice

The 2016 Lexus NX 200t receives broader smartphone connectivity through the Lexus inform products, other than that the SUV remains the same as the last year. The single offered has an AWD option which we highly recommend. Along with that, the luxury package ($4,725) includes features like the heated leather steering wheel and seats that have memory foam, heating, and ventilation system brought all together with that nice Linear Black Shadow wood trim.
