LEXUS NX SPECIFICATIONS

NX Engine Specs

With poised handling and ample power, the 2022 Lexus NX is a great everyday SUV. It comes with an available 2.4L turbo in-line engine that delivers 275 horsepower and 317 lb-ft of torque. Plus, it’s equipped with an 8-speed Electronically Controlled Transmission for a refined, quiet, and smooth-shifting powertrain.

The vehicle can go from 0 to 60 MPH in 6.6 seconds. It also achieves an EPA-estimated 22 city/29 highway MPG. Not only can you zoom down the highway, but you can do it for longer on a single tank of gas.

When it comes to your drivetrain, you’ll have a standard front-wheel drive and available all-wheel drive.

If you’re looking for even more efficiency, opt for the available NX hybrid. This model has a 2.5L In-line 4-cylinder engine with Lexus Hybrid Electric Drive. The engine is paired to an Electronically controlled Continuously Variable Transmission and helps the car achieve an EPA-estimated 41 city/37 highway MPG.

2022 Lexus NX Performance Specs

Additionally, the Lexus NX offers the freedom to tailor your overall driving experience. With Drive Mode Select, a simple turn of a dial can make your vehicle more responsive or efficient through the following driving modes:

• Sport Mode: Alters the powertrain for quicker gear changes and a more dynamic throttle mapping.
• Sport S and Sport S+ Modes: These modes are featured in the Lexus NX 350 F SPORT and provide the vehicle with a responsive performance at its most dynamic.
• ECO Mode: Throttle response and engine output are moderated for increased fuel efficiency.
• Normal Mode: Provides that optimum balance of efficiency and performance.
• EV Mode: Featured solely in the NX hybrid trims. It lets you drive for short distances at low speeds on battery power alone.
• Custom Mode: Featured on the F SPORT model. Allows you to combine different drive mode settings for an even more personalized driving experience.

As we mentioned before, the NX has an available AWD system. If wheelspin is detected, up to 50% of available torque will be distributed to the rear wheels. On the hybrid model, the system has an additional electric motor that delivers instant torque to the rear wheels when needed. As a result, you can handle the slick surfaces with greater ease.

Moreover, the vehicle offers Premium Triple-Beam LED headlamps and available Adaptive Front Lighting System. The headlamps feature a three-projector design that creates an eye-catching L shape. With the addition of the Adaptive Front Lighting System, steering and speed sensors are used to direct the angle of light toward any curve that you make.

Plus, the vehicle makes it easy to access the cargo area, even when your hands are full. With the available Power Rear Door with Kick Sensor, you simply swipe your foot under the rear bumper, and the liftgate will automatically open.

2022 NX Interior Features

Not only is the Lexus NX interior spacious, but it’s quite comfortable, too. It offers many helpful amenities, such as heated and ventilated front seats along with a heated steering wheel. With these features in place, you can quickly warm up or cool down with just the touch of a button.

There are also high-end technology features that’ll help keep you connected, entertained, and safer. One feature you’re sure to appreciate is the standard Lexus app. It lets you access your favorite apps right on the vehicle’s display screen. As a result, you can listen to live radio, check fuel prices, and more, without touching your phone while driving.

Furthermore, the vehicle comes standard with the Lexus Safety System+ 3.0, which is an intelligent suite of driver-assisting technologies. It was designed to react to obstacles you might miss while driving to help prevent an accident from occurring.

One of the features included in this safety suite is All-Speed Dynamic Radar Cruise Control. It helps you maintain a preset speed and a safe following distance from the car in front of you with the help of radar and camera technology. If it detects that you’re getting too close to another car, it can automatically apply the brakes, so you don’t get into a collision.
