2022 Lexus NX
Four Powertrain Options
The 2022 Lexus NX offers a choice of two gasoline models and two hybrid models. The first one uses a naturally aspirated 2.5-litre engine producing 203 horsepower and 184 pound-feet of torque. Paired with an eight-speed transmission and all-wheel drive, it accelerates from 0-100 km/h in 8.8 seconds.
A brand new and exciting addition is the NX 350 2.4 Turbo, which delivers 275 horsepower and 317 pound-feet of torque. Featuring the same eight-speed transmission and AWD combo, it sprints from 0-100 km/h in seven seconds, Lexus claims.
For customers who prefer a hybrid powertrain, the NX 350h (formerly known as NX 300h) packs 239 horsepower and reaches triple-digit speeds from a standstill in 7.4 seconds. Meanwhile, combined fuel consumption of 6.5 L/100 km marks a decrease of 1.0 L/100 km over the outgoing model.
Last but definitely not the least is the new NX 450h+ plug-in hybrid. Rated at 302 horsepower just like the Toyota RAV4 Prime, it provides an EV range of approximately 58 kilometres.
Lexus Interface
Developed in North America, the new Lexus Interface incorporates a standard 9.8-inch or optional 14.1-inch centre touchscreen that is oriented toward the driver. The infotainment system is wirelessly compatible with both Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. A seven-inch digital instrument panel and available 10-inch head-up display—both NX firsts—complete the cockpit.
There is also a new Virtual Assistant to interact with the infotainment system. Designed with dual microphones, enhanced noise-cancellation, seat detection and speaker location capabilities, it enables a voice-first approach to access navigation, media, phone and certain vehicle settings.
Other available technologies include a wireless smartphone charger and over-the-air software updates.
