2019 Lexus NX 300h

The 2019 Lexus NX 300 continues with a refreshed front fascia, with the upper portion of the grille and the front bumpers redesigned to more fluidly blend into the hood and front doors, resulting in a sleeker overall shape and excellent aerodynamics.

The NX's available headlamps with triple projectors are similar to those equipped on the LC luxury coupe and impart the car with a sportier look.

The 2019 Lexus NX 300 also continues with a refreshed rear. The lower rear bumper cover now involves elements of the grille's spindle motif, and has been broadened to enhance the vehicle's wide stance and low-center-of-gravity look. Also, NX models feature larger chrome-tipped exhaust tips that are integrated into the vehicle's revised bumper cover design and new rear underbody spoiler. For the NX Hybrid, a slotted sectional piece with an L-shaped satin chrome border blends flawlessly into the underbody spoiler.

The interior of the Lexus NX lineup is also reworked to exude a sportier nature, a more luxurious feel, and with enhanced control interfaces. Immediately noticeable is the larger available display on the center dashboard, which has grown from 7 inches to 10.3 inches.

Powering the NX 300 is Lexus' powerful and fuel-efficient turbocharged 2.0-liter four-cylinder, while the NX 300h's hybrid drivetrain continues with a 2.5-liter four-cylinder combined with a pair of electric motors, offering customers class-leading power and fuel economy. Both drivetrains offer customers a richer, sportier engine sound and exhaust note that is reproduced through the speakers by Lexus' Active Sound Control.

While the NX's straight-line performance is essentially the same, significant improvements have been made to the vehicle's suspension tuning to enhance ride and handling.
