2021 Lexus NX

The 2021 Lexus NX 300 is available in three trim levels: base, F Sport, and Luxury. The hybridized NX 300h is offered in three trims as well: base, Luxury, and F Sport Black Line. The distinctive black widow black mesh grille gives the NX 300 a sporting personality. The front fascia's check-mark daytime running lights and sharp LED headlights continue its aggressive and modern style, as do the angled grooves along the NX's sides. Opt for an NX 300 equipped with the powered hands-free liftgate to make loading your SUV's rear cargo area easier than ever.

The 2021 NX 300 comes standard with a turbocharged 2.0-liter in-line four-cylinder engine that delivers 235 horsepower and 258 pound-feet of torque. This engine is matched to a six-speed automatic transmission. The hybridized 300h is outfitted with a 2.5-liter in-line four-cylinder engine that produces 194 horsepower and comes paired with a continuously variable automatic transmission.

The 2021 NX 300 comes standard with a front-wheel-drive system but can be upgraded to a traction-boosting all-wheel drive. This includes the NX's hybrid models. Both the NX 300 and NX 300h feature steering-wheel-mounted paddle shifters that let you manually shift through gears. Choose the F Sport models to upgrade your driving experience with the available adaptive variable suspension system. Drive one of the 300h models for next-level fuel efficiency that reduces your footprint on the environment.

Inside the 2021 NX 300, you'll find a luxury-minded cabin that seats up to five passengers. As you progress through the trim levels, each NX 300 has more to offer. The Luxury's seats are upholstered in quality leather and offer available heating and ventilation. For a sporty interior, choose the F Sport's deep-bolstered seats.

In addition to this luxury, the NX 300 also offers an array of technology features that keep you connected and entertained during every drive. The 8-inch screen on the center stack is controllable by a touchpad and is compatible with Apple CarPlay, Android Auto, and Amazon Alexa. These programs allow you to perform thousands of tasks, from shopping online to texting your friends completely hands-free. Opt for the available 14-speaker Mark Levinson sound system to give new life to your favorite songs.

Every 2021 NX 300 utilizes the Lexus Safety System+ 2.0 collection of driver-assist technologies that work with passive safety features to create an all-around safer vehicle. This collection includes the pre-collision system with pedestrian detection, intelligent high beams, lane-departure alert with steering assist, a blind-spot monitor with rear cross-traffic alert, and the pre-collision system with pedestrian detection. Using outboard sensors, these technologies keep you more aware of what other vehicles are up to so you can react faster to potential dangers.
