1. It’s a powerhouse
With a combined 304 horsepower, it scoots to 60 mph in under 6 seconds. Plenty quick!
2. It can be an EV
With a full charge of the battery pack, you can go up to 36 EV-only miles before the hybrid system kicks in.
3. It has a shift lever.
Ok, maybe a small thing, put with pushbutton transmission controls (Acura), stalk controls (Hyundai) becoming more popular, we’re still thrilled to find an actual shift lever in a vehicle!
4. It has a volume knob
Yeah, like the shift knob, we’re sticklers for certain old-school tech that still works best. So, we’re plenty happy Lexus still serves up an actual volume knob.
5. The F SPORT is the one to get
While some manufacturers up the sport level to harsh and punishing, the NX F SPORT gives you great sport seats, aggressive looks and responsive handling – all while still providing the smooth ride and luxury details that make it a Lexus.

Ben Lewis grew up in Chicago, and after spending his formative years driving sideways in the winter – often intentionally – moved to sunny Southern California. He now enjoys sunny weather year-round — whether it is autocross driving, aerobatics, and learning to surf.
