Pros: Range (Electric + gas), powerful powertrain, updated multimedia interface, more standard safety features
Cons: Premium fuel required, PHEV can get pricey
Exterior Style: The exterior was refreshed with an increased overall size and new proportions. New design elements include the removal of the Lexus badge in back and updates to the signature spindle grille.
Interior: Inside is a more modern, youthful appearance with a layout that is driver-centric. The multimedia system is all-new and much more simplified with wireless integration for Apple CarPlay and Android Auto.
Performance: The 450h+ AWD is equipped with a 2.5L turbo i4 paired with electric power that delivered 304 total system horsepower. Acceleration is impressive with an estimated 0-60 time of 6.0 seconds, the fastest of all NX models
Family Friendly: Interior space for passengers is improved and on the larger side of the compact class. There are two sets of LATCH connectors and tether anchor in the middle to accommodate child safety seats. There is 22.7 cu.ft. of cargo space behind the rear seats and 46.9 cu.ft. with the seats folded down. These numbers are average for the class.
Value: The NX previously scored well with predicted reliability and with the new updates should continue to do so. Hybrid models start at $43,105 while plug in variations start at $57,705. There's a long list of standard features and history of reliability that make this a strong value proposition.
Final Statement (+): The NX 450h+ is a great alternative to a full electric vehicle. With nearly 40 miles of electric range it is suitable for many commutes, but comes without the fear of range anxiety. Tasteful updates modernize this compact crossover both outside and in. The new infotainment system is a big step forward and is intuitive. The icing on the cake is the lengthy list of standard safety features. In a booking segment, the new NX is near the top of the list.
