CarTell take

We haven't driven the NX yet. On paper, NX450h+ PHEV from $84,630 plus on-roads pushes into electric-only Polestar 4 and EX30 territory. The rear seat room also trails the larger X3 and GLC.

Why consider it

  • Four powertrain options across the range, including the 87 km WLTP PHEV.
  • 14-inch Lexus Interface plus wireless CarPlay and OTA updates.
  • 10-year hybrid battery cover subject to servicing.

What to know

  • 4-year base warranty trails Genesis (5), Mercedes (5) and BMW (3+2 paid).
  • NX 250 entry is FWD only and short on power against turbo German rivals.

Who it suits

PHEV buyers, hybrid first-timers and couples who want a polished luxury medium SUV. Four powertrains cover every use case, and the 450h+ PHEV delivers a real city electric commute.
