Trims and Powertrain

Drivers interested in the 2026 Lexus NX 350h will have four trims to choose from: Standard, Premium, Luxury, and F Sport Handling. A 2.5-liter four-cylinder engine and two electric motors (one for each axle) to form a powertrain that puts out 240 total horsepower. Each trim is also available with standard front-wheel drive (FWD) or optional all-wheel drive (AWD). Both drivetrains are managed by an electronic continuously variable transmission (eCVT).

According to the EPA, the estimated fuel economy for all trims is 42 mpg in the city and 38 mpg on the highway (FWD), or 41 mpg around town and 37 mpg on the open road (AWD). Cargo capacity starts at 22.7 cubic feet with both rows in use, but that can be expanded to 46.9 cubic feet behind the first row. The towing limit for the NX 350h is 2,000 pounds.

Standard Equipment by Trim Level

The Standard trim has NuLuxe leatherette upholstery, heated front seats, a power liftgate, eight-way power front seats, LED headlights and fog lamps, and dual-zone automatic climate control. It also gets proximity keyless entry, push-button start, a leather-trimmed steering wheel, roof rails, a cargo cover, heated power side mirrors (with auto-dimming and auto tilt-down in reverse functions), rain-sensing windshield wipers, a windshield wiper de-icer, six USB ports, and 18-inch alloy wheels. The comfort and convenience amenities increase with the Premium, as Lexus adds a power moonroof, heated and ventilated front seats, a hands-free liftgate, a driver's memory system, a power tilt-and-telescopic steering column, and ambient cabin lighting.

Upscale elements are the hallmark of the Luxury, led by perforated leather upholstery, triple-beam LED headlights (with washers and cornering lamps), a head-up display, a digital rearview mirror, upgraded ambient lighting, and open-pore wood trim. The F Sport Handling emphasizes driver engagement with an adaptive variable suspension and front and rear performance dampers. Along with most of the Standard trim’s equipment, it adds a heated steering wheel, a head-up display, a digital rearview mirror, triple-beam LED headlights with washers and cornering lamps, a power tilt-and-telescopic steering column, ambient cabin lighting, and 20-inch alloy wheels. Its appearance is distinguished by an exclusive front fascia and grille insert, F Sport-specific exterior accents and interior details, and color-keyed overfenders.

Driver-Assist Technology

Every 2026 NX 350h gets front and rear parking sensors with automatic braking, eight airbags, anti-lock brakes, stability control, traction control, Smart Stop Technology (to limit unintended acceleration), and a rearview monitor. But the main protective technology is found within the Lexus Safety System+ 3.0. This important driver-assist suite consists of adaptive cruise control, automatic high beams, automatic emergency braking with pedestrian detection, a blind-spot monitor, rear cross-traffic alert, forward collision warning, lane departure alert with steering assist, lane tracing assist, proactive driving assist, road sign assist, and safe exit assist. The Premium, Luxury, and F Sport Handling qualify for an optional surround-view monitor.

Staying Connected

The Standard and Premium are outfitted with a 9.8-inch infotainment touchscreen, while the Luxury and F Sport Handling move up to a 14-inch touchscreen (an option for the Premium). Wireless smartphone connectivity (Android Auto and Apple CarPlay) is standard, as are Bluetooth, SiriusXM satellite radio, Wi-Fi hotspot capability, Lexus app integration, and subscription access to Lexus connected services for cloud navigation. Lexus equips all trims with a ten-speaker sound system, but Luxury and F Sport Handling buyers may opt for a Mark Levinson upgrade with 17 speakers.
