What Owners Say
"It's fun to drive!"
Anonymous, TX (2017 Lexus NX)"Very powerful and smooth engine compared to other small suvs"
Gail M., ON (2017 Lexus NX)"My wife loves the styling, acceleration, and handling of this vehicle. Plus, it is easy to get in and out of -- the distance from the seat to the ground is not too low and not too high. I love the gas mileage we are getting from the hybrid engine."
Dennis M., LA (2017 Lexus NX)"With turbo, there is a lag during acceleration but the Sport feature helps minimize that."
Anonymous, BC (2017 Lexus NX)"The vehicles handles well the acceleration iscacceptable"
John S., IL (2017 Lexus NX)"handles great and moves like a little rocket"
Anonymous, CT (2017 Lexus NX)"It is fast and hugs the road."
Anonymous, GA (2017 Lexus NX)"When driving, the touch pad can be a pain to use safely. I had the audio speakers changed in the car and am using the existing factory Amp/Controls to power/control them. The sound is noticeably improved."
Anonymous, GA (2017 Lexus NX)"needs better acceleration"
Lucien C., FL (2017 Lexus NX)"Crisp and responsive handling. Top notch handling for a compact crossover. Great driving experience."
Ken K., UT (2017 Lexus NX)"There is a lag in the start of acceleration from the turbo function, expected. I expect that some future model will have the dual turbo system possibly developed by Borg Warner which eliminates this problem."
Anonymous, FL (2017 Lexus NX)"For a vehicle getting 32 mpg, it is very responsive with respect to both pickup and handling. Plus, the plethora of warning signals and safety features adds to our feeling of security when driving it."
Dennis M., LA (2017 Lexus NX)"Overall exterior quality makes this NX Fsport stand out. Body integrity along with quality of interior makes the NX Fsport worth the money."
Anonymous, CA (2017 Lexus NX)"It does not feel like a quality car. Too thin and light."

Anonymous, TX (2017 Lexus NX)"great acceleration and handling"
Anonymous, NJ (2017 Lexus NX)"The vehicle is very responsive to the throttle and has very good acceleration even at mid-throttle, more akin to a V-6. Sometimes however the downshifts are a bit clunky and too abrupt."
