2023 Lexus NX 250

The 2023 Lexus NX 250 kicks off the lineup with impressive performance and powerful capabilities. It’s equipped with a 2.5-liter inline four-cylinder engine, generating 203 horsepower and 184 lb-ft of torque. The engine pairs with an eight-speed automatic transmission.

Interior

Inside the SUV, you’ll find a range of premium comfort and convenience features to enhance your driving experience. The Lexus NX 250 comes with durable NuLuxe interior trim, an environmentally friendly material offering the same look as leather.

Like the rest of the Lexus NX lineup, the 250 trim comes equipped with the Lexus Safety System+ 3.0. This state-of-the-art system includes multiple driver-assistance technologies to keep you safe on the Oklahoma City highways. The system includes:

• Adaptive cruise control to keep the SUV a safe distance from other cars.

2023 Lexus NX 350

Next up in the lineup, the 2023 Lexus NX 350 gets a more powerful engine and some other perks, making it a popular choice for many drivers. Underneath the hood, you’ll find a 2.4-liter turbo four-cylinder engine, producing 275 horsepower and 317 lb-ft of torque.

The hybrid system produces a combined 240 horsepower.

The Lexus NX 350 comes with all the same features as the 250 trim level, but it adds active sound control, which transmits the sound of the engine through a dashboard speaker so you can feel acceleration more strongly.

It also comes standard with a 10-inch head-up display.

2023 Lexus NX 450h+

The 2023 Lexus NX 450h+, a plug-in hybrid, offers maximum efficiency without sacrificing power. It uses a 2.5-liter four-cylinder engine and two electric motors to produce a combined 302 horsepower. The plug-in hybrid SUV comes standard with all-wheel drive. With a high-capacity lithium-ion battery, the Lexus NX 450h+ has a 36-mile electric range, and it can achieve a combined 84 mpg equivalent.
