Why it stands out

The 2018 Lexus NX stands out first and foremost for its design. Lexus gave the NX an angular shape and a dramatic take on the brand’s spindle grille, making it one of the most distinctive-looking compact luxury SUVs of its era. That visual character is matched by a premium feel inside, where the cabin was intended to hold its own against rivals such as the Audi Q5 and BMW X3. It also helped establish Lexus in the compact crossover space with a model that felt more expressive and youthful than the brand’s larger SUV.

What makes the 2018 model year especially notable is the update it received. Lexus added restyled bumpers and headlamp inserts, equipment upgrades, and a larger infotainment display. Safety also took a meaningful step forward, because Lexus Safety System+ became standard and brought a pre-collision system with pedestrian detection, lane departure alert, lane keep assist, radar cruise control, and intelligent high-beam headlamps. That combination of sharper styling, added technology, and stronger safety content gives the 2018 NX a more complete and appealing package than earlier versions.

The NX’s appeal also comes from its powertrain choices and reputation for dependability. The hybrid NX 300h was praised for fuel economy, while the gas NX 200t offered standard all-wheel drive in Canada and a conventional six-speed automatic transmission. At the same time, the NX has built a strong reputation for reliability, which is one of its biggest selling points for used buyers. Its main drawbacks are familiar ones: it is not as rewarding to drive as some rivals, and many desirable features were bundled into option packs rather than included as standard equipment.
