Great buy for the price and well equipped!

The 4-cylinder turbo has a lot of power for a 4-cylinder. It drives like a v6, has plenty of get up and go! I also love the fact that a base model does not have to have the navigation included! The scroll knob is very easy to use and does not take long to get use to using. I highly recommend this vehicle!

Interesting negative feedback.

My Lexus is big enough for my 2 teenage kids, a large dog and myself. There is plenty of space for legs, backpacks in the back as well plenty of space for groceries in the trunk. Gas mileage is amazing, I do not know the exact numbers but I am pleased with how much miles I get with one full tank. My only negative feedback is about the pad to use to select options with on the control board. It is a pain to work with it. Not stable, jumps all over the place, super frustrating when you are driving.

It has good gas mileage for a compact suv, which means less trips to the gas station & saving money.

Good compact suv with ability hold a good amount of cargo; good gas mileage; reliable car manufacturer

The Lexus NX is a luxury crossover SUV with technology advancements and functionality advantages.

I like my vehicle. Crossover SUV that's not too small but also not too big. Very sporty and handles similar to a small coupe. Only complaint is I wish the in-car navigation system was more user friendly.

My care is reliable and dependable.

It is reliable and safe. I like the interior design. The exterior is modern.

Esther D

The value is fantastic! It is priced so well.

I love the size! It feels like an SUV while also small enough that it does not feel like a truck. I love that it is a lexus, but for the price of something cheaper. It is really nice!

High performance, great quality, luxury SUV.

Great performance and smooth ride! Sport mode is such a great feature on this car. I am looking forward to purchasing the same make in another SUV car in the future. Downside is having to use premium gas. Have not had any problem within 20,000 miles driven. I am happy with my purchase.

It feels like riding on a pillow

My vehicle is a beauty inside and out. I like the comfort, quiet ride and feeling of luxury it provides.

It is a very good deal for a small size sub.

Trunk is too small and I always hit my head on the trunk when it is open. It is very reliable and easy to maneuver. It is a good car for driving in the city. It gets good gas mileage. Has good pickup. It is a little small inside. The backup camera is a nice feature along with the Bluetooth. I wish the side mirrors would move when the engine is off.

Lexus nx f sport was amazing.

The Lexus nx was amazing. It was incredible especially for me and my dog. I was able to travel long distances and feel at peace. I never had issues with this vehicle. The f sport package was awesome to drive. I felt I am control at all times and very safe.

2017 Lexus nx review. Overall, nice vehicle.

I love the backup camera, the navigation, leather seats and sunroof. Do not like that the mirrors do not have the option to fold in. The stereo system is not the greatest. Could use a little more room on the inside and trunk space. I do like how you can select economy or sport mode for driving. Overall, nice vehicle.
