Lexus NX Engines and Transmissions

Lexus NX engine options include the front-wheel-drive gasoline 2.0 CVT, all-wheel-drive hybrid 2.5 CVT and all-wheel-drive gasoline 2.0 AT. Among these examples, the variable transmissions adjust their ratio without conventional gear changes, while the automatic shifts between fixed ratios. Try both transmission types to see which response you prefer.

Lexus NX Trims and Equipment

Lexus NX trim levels include Luxury and Exclusive for the all-wheel-drive 2.5 CVT hybrid. These equipment configurations share the named powertrain, so your choice also depends on cabin comfort and convenience. Check the individual vehicle’s fitted equipment rather than assuming a trim name guarantees every feature you want.

Lexus NX Battery

The front-wheel-drive 2.5 CVT hybrid uses a metal hydride battery to support electric assistance. It recovers energy during braking and requires no plug-in charging. When considering Lexus NX battery capacity, remember that this hybrid stores energy for use alongside the gasoline engine, rather than for extended electric-only journeys.
