The 2026 Lexus NX250 Luxury is a compact luxury SUV that appeals to buyers wanting premium features and reliability without the complexity of hybrid or electric powertrains, with its naturally-aspirated 2.5-litre petrol engine delivering 152kW and 243Nm through an automatic AWD system. Its standout strength is efficiency for the segment-sipping just 6.1L/100km combined-backed by Lexus's reputation for durability and a comprehensive 4-year warranty that keeps running costs predictable at around $2742 annually. One consideration is that you'll trade some performance for frugality; with 152kW, acceleration is modest compared to turbocharged rivals, though the 1800kg kerb weight keeps things reasonably responsive.

The 2026 Lexus NX250 F Sport is a compact luxury SUV that appeals to buyers wanting premium styling and technology without the complexity of hybrid or turbo engines, with its naturally aspirated 2.5-litre petrol delivering 152kW and 243Nm through standard AWD. Its standout strength is fuel efficiency for the class at 6.1L/100km combined, which translates to reasonable running costs around $2742 annually, while the 520-litre boot and 1650kg towing capacity handle genuine family duties. The main consideration is that with 1820kg kerb weight, the naturally aspirated engine feels leisurely compared to turbocharged rivals, though its five-star ANCAP safety rating and Lexus reliability heritage offer peace of mind over four years.

The 2026 Lexus NX NX350h Luxury is a five-seat hybrid SUV with AWD and an automatic, priced from $71,700 RRP, which is before on-road costs. It's rated at 5L/100km combined, has 520 litres of boot space with the seats up, and can tow 1,500kg braked. The 179kW figure is the combined system output from the hybrid setup, with a claimed 0-100km/h time of 7.7 seconds. One thing to weigh up is the 1,500kg braked towing limit, which rules out bigger caravans or boats. It suits a family or couple after a frugal hybrid SUV with a decent boot that doesn't need to haul heavy loads.

The 2026 Lexus NX NX350h F Sport is a 5-seat AWD hybrid SUV with an automatic gearbox, priced from $79,200 RRP, which is the price before on-road costs. Its claimed fuel use is 5L/100km combined, the boot holds 520 litres with the seats up, and it can tow 1,500kg braked or 750kg unbraked. Power is 179kW, and that's the combined system output of the hybrid setup. The 1,500kg braked towing limit is worth keeping in mind if you've got a bigger caravan or boat. It suits a small family or couple after a frugal hybrid SUV that can still handle light towing.

The 2026 Lexus NX NX350h Luxury+ is a five-seat hybrid SUV with all-wheel drive and an automatic, making 179kW as a combined system output. It's priced from $79,200 RRP, which is before on-road costs, so expect to pay more once rego, stamp duty and the like are added. Lexus claims fuel use of 5L/100km combined, there's 520 litres of boot space with the seats up, and it can tow 1,500kg braked. The catch is that 1,500kg braked towing limit, which rules out bigger caravans or boats, so it makes the most sense for families or couples after a frugal, comfortable SUV that only does light towing.

The 2026 Lexus NX450h+ Luxury is a mid-size plug-in hybrid SUV designed for buyers wanting premium comfort with genuine eco-credentials and practicality for families or small businesses. Its standout strength is the 87km EV range, which covers most daily commutes on pure electric power, combined with a 2.5-litre petrol engine backup for longer journeys and excellent fuel efficiency of 1.3L/100km overall. Consider that at 2050kg, it's a weighty vehicle with modest towing capacity of only 1500kg, so if you regularly haul heavy trailers or boats, you may want to look elsewhere.
