Lexus NX 300 Trim Levels, Pricing, and Basic Info
The 2021 NX 300 is available in five different trim levels (NX300, NX300 F Sport, NX300h, NX300 Luxury, NX300h Luxury) that range in price from $38.635 to $47,635. While other “small SUVs” feel more like a hatchback on steroids, the height and width of the NX 300 remind drivers that although it’s smaller than some of the more monstrous vehicles in this segment, you’re still driving an SUV.
Revolutionary Exterior Design
If driving a vehicle that turns heads anywhere you go is your thing, you’ll love the neck-jerking reactions this SUV evokes. Lexus takes the concept of a bold front grille and does something that no other carmaker has the bravery to do, and pulls it off beautifully. The rest of the vehicle is just as eye-catching and aesthetically pleasing. 17-inch wheels come standard with the base model, whereas the higher trim levels sit atop 18-inch wheels.
High Powered Gas and Hybrid Engines
The two engine options of the NX 300 deliver plenty of power, making this compact SUV a great vehicle for drivers looking for something quick off the go. The gas-powered option is a 2.5L turbocharged four-cylinder that generates a respectable 235 horsepower. The Hybrid engine packs a little less punch and delivers 194 horsepower with the same engine combined with an electric motor.
Superb Performance
The NX 300 engine options are paired with a six-speed automatic transmission that shifts gears effortlessly as the turbo kicks in and accelerates when driving on the highway. The NX 300 is easy to maneuver on city roads thanks to its precise steering and sharp brakes. Front-wheel drive is standard on all trims, but drivers can upgrade to all-wheel drive.
Plush Interior
The cabin of the NX 300 delivers luxury and modern design, with high-quality materials used throughout the vehicle’s interior. Both driver and passengers will feel pampered thanks to the incredibly comfortable seats, while the head and especially legroom are well above average for a small SUV. The steering wheel is heavy and has several easy-to-use functions built into it, and aluminum pedals add great accents to the already charming interior.
Outstanding Safety Rating
The Insurance Institute for Highway Safety chose the 2021 NX 300 as a Top Safety Pick+. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration also gave it high praise for the array of standard safety features it comes with.
