Lexus NX

The 2027 Lexus NX drops petrol-only power and says almost nothing else

Lexus revealed the 2027 NX on 1 September 2026 and made its compact crossover entirely electrified: the petrol-only NX 250 and NX 350 are gone, leaving the NX 350h hybrid and the NX 450h+ plug-in across Premium, Premium+, F SPORT and Luxury grades. The plug-in gets a newly developed lithium-ion battery with 8 per cent more output and 30 per cent more capacity, DC fast charging as standard, and over 40 miles of EV range on select grades. A new e-Axle integrates transaxle, motor and power control unit to lower the centre of gravity, and the 14-inch Lexus Interface screen is now standard on every grade. Lexus published no total system output, no battery capacity in kWh, no acceleration figure and no prices, and says the car reaches global markets by the end of 2026.
