Lexus NX300h FAQs

• Is the Lexus NX300h a good car?

  Small luxury SUVs are a hot commodity at the moment, and the new Lexus NX300h is well worth considering if you value a refined and premium car that ticks a lot of criteria. Reliability is fantastic, comfort is a delight, handling is composed, while the engine punches with impact. The NX300h also comes without the excessively high price-tag as that of other makes and models in the premium segment, which is a bonus for those who might not be able to extend their budget quite as far.

• What is the difference between the Lexus NX300 and NX300h?

  When it comes to separating these two units, the first port of call is to look at the drivetrain powering both cars. The Lexus NX300 is powered by a turbocharged petrol engine, and configured in either a front-wheel drive or all-wheel drive set-up. On the other hand, the NX300h is a hybrid variant, not only running off a sturdy four-cylinder petrol motor, but the backing of electric motors and Lexus' intelligent all-wheel drive system.

• Is the Lexus NX or RX better?

  Size is one of the biggest differences between the Lexus NX and RX, with the former considered a compact crossover seating five, compared with the larger RX. Both models have a comparable and impressive level of reliability, while the NX, despite not being quite as dynamic on paper as its bigger sibling, still delivers fantastic ride quality and comfort. You can secure the NX at a more affordable price-point, making it an accessible entry-point into Lexus' premium models, although for sheer performance credentials and heightened amenity, the RX edges ahead.
