The NX 300 is a compact luxury vehicle from Lexus. The SUV stands out for its top-notch safety amenities, which it gets even more of in 2021. This year, Lexus adds blind-spot monitoring to its list of standard safety items. Auto-dimming side mirrors are also a new safety item for the Lexus this year. Other than the new safety tools, the Lexus is essentially the same as it was in 2020.

The NX 300 comes in three trim levels, from the NX 300 to the NX 300 Luxury base model. The NX 300 gets plenty of standard features, including Amazon Alexa, while the Luxury trim tops the line with an even longer list of upscale amenities. Both trims seat five people and have a comfortable, classy, and well-appointed interior.

Performance

The Lexus NX 300 has one engine that powers both the base trim level and the Luxury trim. The engine is a turbo four-cylinder that uses gasoline. All trims of the NX 300 have a maximum power output of 235 HP with the engine, which has a 2.5L displacement and 16 valves. The NX 300's engine produces up to 258 LB-FT in torque at a range of 1,650 to 4,000 RPM. The regular NX 300 engine is a low-emission engine. A hybrid version of the NX 300 is also available with minor variations in performance.

LED headlights are standard starting on the NX 300 base trim. This trim gets LED taillights as well, and daytime running lights are included for optimal visibility.
