Lexus has positioned the NX line between the compact UX and mid-size RX, corresponding to Toyota's XA40 RAV4 and XU60 Harrier models on the new MC platform.
The Lexus NX line has been quite successful and continues to thrive. Starting with the 2022 model, Lexus launched the completely redesigned second-generation AZ20 NX based on the TNGA-K platform.
While related to the XA50 Toyota RAV4, it's also considered a sibling model to the Toyota Venza and Harrier.
Like its best-selling mainstream sibling models, the Lexus NX offers gasoline, hybrid, and plug-in hybrid powertrains.
In the U.S. market, the NX 250 model starts at $42,140, while the top-of-the-line 2025 NX 450h+ F Sport Handling AWD plug-in hybrid model reaches $63,505.
Recently, international media outlets have released unofficial and speculative renderings of the 2026 Lexus NX.
Lexus is expected to launch the NX mid-cycle refresh facelift alongside the 2026 Toyota RAV4 to create synergy in the mainstream market.
The released renderings show subtle changes in the new NX facelift, featuring a refreshed front fascia, redesigned taillights, and a modified interior.
