3 Things to Know About the Lexus NX 350h
Here is a look at other specifications that make the hybrid car a popular pick:

Engine and design
This car is a conventional hybrid that pairs a gas engine with an electric powertrain. You get a standard all-wheel-drive system. The engine generates 240 horsepower, and you get a dual-cam, 16-valve valvetrain with continuously Variable Valve Timing with intelligence. The subcompact SUV is also a certified ultra-low-emission vehicle. Further, the Lexus NX 350h has independent MacPherson struts with coil springs, gas-pressurized shock absorbers, and a stabilizer bar for the front suspension. The rear suspension is an independent double wishbone type with coil springs and has gas-pressurized shock absorbers and stabilizer bars. These specs keep the vehicle stable and in control while driving. The braking system consists of four-wheel power-assisted discs with a four-sensor, four-channel anti-lock braking system, brake assist with regenerative braking, and electronic brakeforce distribution to enhance safety. As for the steering, you get the Electronic Power Steering system. The car goes from 0 to 60 mph in 7.2 seconds, which works well for those who want a car that mainly runs on city roads. Here, the SUV meets the need for a comfortable ride and can overlook the slightly slower acceleration.

Styling
When it comes to the design, you get a cargo space of 22.7 cubic feet in the Lexus NX 350h, which is about 5 cubic feet more than that of its predecessor. The trademark spindle grille makes a comeback in this model, but Lexus has made a few changes to the design. The turn signals are a part of the headlights now, adding to the exterior’s distinctive style. The SUV has standard 18-inch 15-spoke alloy wheels with a dark gray and machined finish; however, you can also for 20-inch 20-spoke alloy wheels with a silver finish.

Add-ons
You can opt for add-ons offered as standalone features or packages. These add-ons are conveniences that you would want in a modern subcompact SUV. Here is what you can expect from each package:

Premium package: Starting at $3,050, this package offers key features like heated and ventilated front seats; Lexus Memory System for the driver’s seat, outside mirrors, and the steering wheel; power tilt and slide moonroof; rain-sensing windshield wipers; Power Rear Door with Kick Sensor, Black prism interior trim, intuitive parking assist with automatic braking; a power tilt-and-telescopic steering column.

Luxury package: Priced at $7,450, the Luxury package offers all the conveniences that the Premium does. Exclusive features include 20-inch, 20-spoke alloy wheels with silver finish; a perforated leather-trimmed interior that comes with exclusive chevron seat quilting; door courtesy lamps; thematic ambient illumination; black open-pore wood trim; 10-inch head-up display, 10-way power adjustable driver’s seat with 4-way power lumbar adjustment; 8-way power adjustable passenger seat. Further, you get a 14-inch touchscreen display and a 3-year trial of the Drive Connect feature, which includes cloud navigation, intelligent assistant, and destination assist (available only when you buy a subscription). Lastly, you can get Bi-LED headlamps with an adaptive front lighting system and daytime running lights in your Lexus NX 350h.

The Lexus NX 350h does not have other variants or trims; however, experts suggest that the SUV has replaced an outgoing NX model, which had a slightly weaker engine performance and less room for passengers and cargo.
