When searching for a fuel-efficient SUV in the North Andover, Peabody, or Danvers, MA, area, why not get a model with tons of panache? Perhaps something like the 2021 Lexus NX would suit you, especially since it has several versions to choose from.
Not only does every new rendering of this luxury model have a lot to provide in style and features, but Lexus continues to offer impressive fuel economy ratings from 28 highway MPG all the way up to 30 highway MPG on optional trims. How does the Lexus NX achieve these high ratings?
Keep reading through our Lexus NX MPG guide to see the bigger picture, then contact the team at Ira Lexus of Danvers to experience these ratings firsthand!
The 2021 Lexus NX 300 achieves an EPA-estimated 22 city/28 highway MPG. This is when the vehicle is equipped with this trim’s standard 2.0L 4-cylinder engine, offering:
Whichever drivetrain you opt for, you can cruise around for a long time before needing to stop to refuel, especially with the 15.9 gallons of gasoline in the fuel tank.
There are a lot of features that contribute to this vehicle’s impressive fuel economy ratings, one of them being Drive Mode Select. This system is comprised of multiple settings, including ECO mode, which will adjust the throttle response and engine power output to increase fuel efficiency.
Plus, as we mentioned before, this model is available with AWD. If wheelspin is detected, this system can deliver up to 50% of available torque to the rear wheels. As a result, you’ll have maximum traction and efficiency to help you get home safely.
Enjoy the same MPG ratings with more interior luxury features—like heated and ventilated front seats as well as a driver memory system—with the optional Lexus NX 300 Luxury trim.
Next up is the 2021 NX 300 F SPORT, which achieves the same ratings mentioned above when equipped with FWD. Switch to AWD, however, and you’ll get a similar EPA-estimated 22 city/27 highway MPG.
In addition to having the same engine as the NX 300 trim with the same impressive horsepower and torque, the F SPORT trim comes with exclusive lateral front and rear performance dampers for optimized performance.
An available Adaptive Variable Suspension features 650 levels of damping, which can automatically adapt to changing conditions. Altogether, this gives you extra driving control to go along with the drive modes you choose, keeping you in charge wherever you drive.
Next, we have the Lexus NX 300h and its optional 300h Luxury trim. This hybrid model, in both standard and luxury design, achieves an EPA-estimated 33 city/30 highway MPG so you can really go the distance.
Jump from 0 to 60 MPH in 9.1 seconds with the NX 300h’s 2.5L 4-cylinder engine with an electric-drive motor. With this engine under the hood, enjoy:
Drive Mode Select now provides an additional setting: EV mode. That’s right, battery power. This mode lets you drive for short distances at low speeds on battery power alone. Since the gasoline engine doesn’t get used with this setting, the vehicle doesn’t consume any fuel and tailpipe emissions are eliminated, providing a clean ride for hours on end.
The Lexus NX has always been ready to provide quality EPA-estimated miles per gallon. From 2016 forward, we see the MPG estimates have remained consistent, promising:
| EPA-estimated MPG: City | EPA-estimated MPG: Highway | |
| 2016 Lexus NX | 22 MPG | 28 MPG |
| 2017 Lexus NX | 22 MPG | 28 MPG |
| 2018 Lexus NX | 22 MPG | 28 MPG |
| 2019 Lexus NX | 22 MPG | 28 MPG |
| 2020 Lexus NX | 22 MPG | 28 MPG |
| 2021 Lexus NX | 22 MPG | 28 MPG |
With Lexus, you know you’re getting into a car that can take you the distance. They’ve kept to their roots by delivering a drive that you deserve. And with their latest model, the 2021 Lexus NX, you’re in for a powerful, efficient luxury drive.
You don’t just buy a Lexus for the high-powered engine and luxury drive. You also want a car that’s fuel efficient for more than just your own comfort. Conscious about the environment, you want to do what you can to keep our planet a clean, green place for years to come.
Luckily, the Lexus NX receives high emission ratings on all trims.
|
Trim Level |
Emission Rating |
| Lexus NX 300 | Certified Ultra-Low Emission Vehicle (ULEV III) |
| Lexus NX 300 Luxury | Certified Ultra-Low Emission Vehicle (ULEV III) |
| Lexus NX 300 F SPORT | Certified Ultra-Low Emission Vehicle (ULEV III) |
| Lexus NX 300h | Certified Super Ultra-Low Emission Vehicle (SULEV) |
| Lexus NX 300h Luxury | Certified Super Ultra-Low Emission Vehicle (SULEV) |
For the 300, F SPORT, and 300 Luxury trims, drive with peace of mind with the Certified Ultra-Low Emission Vehicle (ULEV III) emission rating.
All of the Lexus NX hybrid trims come with a Certified Super Ultra-Low Emission Vehicle (SULEV) emission rating. As one of the higher tiers of the federal rating systems, this means you’re not only sustaining your gas mileage, but you’re also helping the environment as you drive.
Aside from the features on the individual trims, there are a few other benefits to the Lexus NX that aid its high MPG estimates.
For example, the NX comes standard with an AI Shift Control. This system monitors both the road conditions and your driving habits to predict when the gear needs to be shifted and will automatically shift the transmission for you. This type of transmission helps reduce excess emissions and preserves your gas/power.
The optional turbocharger on the 2.0-liter engine moves quickly between the engine’s cycles. Reach top speeds with the fast shifts and, as with the AI Shift Control, use less unnecessary gas.
As you can see, every version of the 2021 Lexus NX offers impressive fuel economy ratings. With its drive modes, favorable emission ratings, and high performance, is it any surprise?
Now, you just need to decide which one is right for your trips around North Andover, Peabody, or Danvers, Massachusetts.
