The 2018 Lexus NX 300 is part of the compact luxury crossover’s first generation, launched in 2014. It comes with a 2.0L turbo four-cylinder engine, developing 235 horsepower, paired with a six-speed automatic transmission. Front-wheel drive is standard, but all-wheel drive is available for those who demand more road grip. The NX 300 is available in two trims - base and the sport-themed F Sport. Key safety features in the Lexus Safety System+ offer pre-collision warning with pedestrian detection, lane departure alert, and adaptive cruise control. The NX 300 also includes a navigation system, an 8-inch display with the Lexus Enform infotainment platform, voice controls, and compatibility with Scout GPS Link. For 2018, the model received a light face-lift that updated the exterior and interior design, along with suspension tuning changes aiming to improve handling and ride comfort.
