Overall Rating
The Lexus NX 200t is the latest offering from Lexus. It is equipped with a smaller yet powerful engine that provides great performance.
The Lexus NX 200t is the latest offering from Lexus. It is equipped with a smaller yet powerful engine that provides great performance. The NX 200t is not particularly quick but provides decent fuel economy. The interior is spacious and is adorned with high-quality materials that give it a premium feel, but the available cargo capacity is the lowest in comparison to its rivals.
As there is only one trim option available, there is nothing to recommend as such. The base trim, available at $34,480, is feature packed and provides great value for the money spent. But along with that, there is an option to opt for the Comfort, Premium, Luxury, and Navigation packages at an additional cost.
