Overview

Belonging to the compact luxury SUV segment, the 2024 Lexus NX competes against the Audi Q3, the BMW X1, and the Mercedes-Benz GLA Class. With just a single trim on offer, the 2024 Lexus NX starts off with a base MSRP of $40,305. The standard engine is a 2.5L I-4 producing 203 hp and 184 lb-ft of torque. The engine is mated to a standard 8-speed automatic transmission that drives the front wheels of the vehicle. With this powertrain setup, the NX 250 reaches 60 mph within 8.8 seconds. Moving to the fuel economy, the standard engine delivers a combined fuel economy of 33 MPG.

Buying Advice

The Lexus NX 250 comes with a generous list of standard features right from the base trim. However, we’d like to recommend the Premium trim. It further adds some useful features to the list such as a sunroof, a kick-activated power tailgate, automatic windshield wipers, memory settings for the driver’s seat, and a power-adjustable steering column.
