The 2027 Lexus NX gets a meaningful refresh, with new electrified powertrains, a sharper exterior, and an all-new interior. In this first look, we spend time with the NX 350h Premium Plus front-wheel-drive model, covering its updated hybrid system, revised styling, larger standard screens, easier-to-use climate controls, new center console, rear-seat comfort, cargo space, and refined driving experience. The NX remains smaller than many luxury compact crossover rivals, but it counters with a smooth, efficient powertrain, a quieter ride, useful technology, and a comfortable cabin. Lexus has not announced final pricing yet, but this early-production example is expected to start around $47,000–$48,000 including destination. We also look at the compromises, including limited cargo space, less rear-seat room on paper, and interior materials that may not feel as warm or substantial as some European competitors.
