2017 Lexus NX

The NX has been deemed the best 2017 luxury compact SUV for the money because of a combination of overall quality and value, as well as substantial long term value based on the low cost to own and impressive gas mileage. According to EPA estimates, the NX gets 22 mpg in the city and 28 mpg on the highway, which is very good for the class.

Making the most of every cubic inch of its 2.0-liter engine, the turbocharger relies on advanced twin-scroll technology and the ability to seamlessly move between conventional and Atkinson cycles, pairing quick acceleration with greater efficiency.

The exterior of the new NX has been given an aggressive style, highlighted by sporty shapes, hard edges, and a wide open black grille. The interior has a much softer appeal, with the status luxurious materials and high end technology features. Soft to the touch materials are cushy and forgiving, and sport chic contrast stitching. Wood trim and a modern analog clock are subtly classy touches. Lexus dives deeper than any other compact SUV on the market and offers us heated mirrors, automatic dual climate control, eight way power adjustable seats with lumbar support, an eight speaker sound system, and all of the standard technology features that their competitors offer as well. The overall design and plethora of amenities within really make the NX shine.

The NX also comes with some exceptional safety features this year. Dynamic Radar Cruise Control can help maintain a preset distance from the car traveling in front of you by automatically reducing the throttle and even applying the brakes at speeds above 25 mph. Once the road clears, the NX returns to its preset speed. Other helpful features include blind spot monitoring, rear cross traffic alert, intuitive parking assist, and a rearview camera. The NX features are top of the line and ensure optimum safety on the road.

Luxurious features and convenient amenities work in harmony with the outstanding value to provide a stellar choice for anyone in the compact SUV market. The NX is a clear winner for us, but you wont know for sure until you take it for a test drive! Receive updates on the NX or schedule a test drive with us here.
