The NX is for those who crave luxury and tech but can forgive a cramped rear seat.

Luxurious interior materials · Smooth, refined ride
Rear seat feels cramped · Infotainment takes time to master

The 2026 Lexus NX stands out as a luxurious compact SUV that wraps you in a cocoon of premium materials and tech-forward features. The ride is as smooth as a jazz saxophone on a Saturday night, effortlessly absorbing road imperfections. What surprised us most was the variety of powertrains, including a plug-in hybrid that adds a layer of efficiency without sacrificing performance. However, the rear seat feels a bit like an afterthought, especially for adults. Buyers who prioritize front-seat luxury and a refined ride will find the NX to be a compelling choice.

Our pick: NX 450h+ Premium AWD (PHEV) ($59,105)
vs. 2026 Mercedes-Benz C-Class: The C-Class edges out with rear seat comfort, but the NX wins on tech and powertrain diversity.
