2025 Lexus NX review
- The Lexus NX has been a solid success in sales charts and has beaten most European rivals in the premium midsized SUV segment.
- This is due to its affordability and electrification options, such as its conventional hybrid model and plug-in hybrid option.
- The 2025 Lexus NX350 F Sport AWD is the turbocharged petrol variant of the SUV being pitched as the driver-focused option and is only available in F Sport guise with AWD priced in Australia from $79,343 plus on-road costs.
- The Lexus NX feels luxurious inside with its vault-like build quality and high-end cabin materials as well as minimal switchgear and prominently placed digital displays.
- The seated position is comfortable with Lexus F Sport seats and a personal highlight of the Lexus interiors is the electrically-adjustable steering column, which also features the seat memory function.
- The boot measures 520 litres with the rear seats in use and 1141 litres when dropped, and it comes loaded with ample equipment, has a five-star ANCAP safety rating, and a good balance between comfort and control.
- The NX350 AWD is the only turbo-petrol engine offering in the lineup. The 2.4-litre turbo-petrol engine offers a buzzy sound and, while it’s sluggish when rolling, it has strong outputs on paper compared to its German competitors.
- The NX350 F Sport AWD requires a little bit of getting used to when using its finicky controls that operate its various driver-assistance systems.
- The Lexus NX is backed by a five-year unlimited-kilometre warranty like the broader Lexus range.
- The NX350 F Sport AWD is a good option as it offers strong value for money in terms of engine specs and standard equipment, but there’s no USP or benchmark aspect to this spec.
