A Surprising Crossover: 2021 Lexus NX 300

In our week with the 2021 Lexus NX 300 we became fond of this little crossover. Initial impressions left us wanting more, but the power to weight, the power delivery, the transmission, and the suspension tuning really won us over. With an all-new 2022 version just around the corner, this 2021 is the last of the analog NX models. New versions ditch this 2021’s trackpad-based infotainment in favor of a large touchscreen. It ditches the clean analogue gauges for digital ones. The new version even ditches the idea of door handles as we know it. So, we investigate whether a 2021 is a good buy, or if you should wait for the 2022. Here are some quick stats on the 2021 Lexus NX 300: • 2.0L Turbocharged Inline 4-Cylinder Engine • Full-time All-Weather Drive • 6-speed Multi-Mode Automatic Transmission • 235 horsepower @ 4,800 – 5,600 rpm • 258 lb-ft of torque @ 1,650 – 4,000 rpm • 0-60 mph in 7.0 seconds • Fuel Economy: 22/28/24 for the AWD (City/Hwy/Combined) • 17.7 cu. ft. of cargo space behind rear seats • 54.6 cu. ft. of cargo space with rear seats folded • Starting Price: $45,360 • Price as tested: $52,025 Be sure to subscribe for more Lexus content as well as more videos for your viewing pleasure.
