What’s New for the 2027 Lexus NX?
The 2027 Lexus NX brings some of the biggest changes the model has seen in years. Here are the highlights you need to know:
- Hybrid-only powertrain. The gas-only NX 350 has been discontinued. Every 2027 NX now comes with either a hybrid (NX 350h) or plug-in hybrid (NX 450h+) powertrain. This means better fuel efficiency across the entire lineup.
- More power. The NX 350h now produces 244 net combined horsepower, which is four more than the previous model year. The NX 450h+ plug-in hybrid delivers 304 net combined horsepower.
- Bigger touchscreen standard. Every 2027 NX comes with a 14-inch Lexus Interface touchscreen and a 12.3-inch digital gauge cluster as standard equipment. No trim level is left out.
- Simplified trim structure. The lineup now offers four clear grades: Premium, Premium+, F SPORT, and Luxury. Each grade is available in both the NX 350h hybrid and NX 450h+ plug-in hybrid.
- New Sensory Concierge feature. On F SPORT and Luxury grades, a new Sensory Concierge system adjusts the cabin environment by syncing the ambient lighting, music, climate control, seat temperature, and even an in-car fragrance system across three preset modes: Inspire, Radiance, and Revitalize.
- Improved steering and handling. A new Variable Rack Gear with a responsive variable steering ratio has been added across all grades for a sharper, more confident feel behind the wheel.
- Nine exterior color options. Three new colors have been added to the palette, including Sonic Platinum and F SPORT-exclusive hues.

2027 Lexus NX Hybrid and Plug-In Hybrid Options
For 2027, every Lexus NX is a hybrid. That is not a coincidence. Lexus made this change because the hybrid system simply delivers a better driving experience in a vehicle this size. You get more efficiency, smoother power delivery, and a quieter ride compared to a traditional gas engine.
NX 350h: The Self-Charging Hybrid
The NX 350h is powered by a 2.5-liter four-cylinder engine working together with two electric motors. The combined output is 244 horsepower. You never need to plug it in because the battery charges itself through regenerative braking and the engine while you drive. Front-wheel drive and all-wheel drive configurations are both available.
NX 450h+: The Plug-In Hybrid
The NX 450h+ steps things up with 304 combined horsepower and the ability to charge from a standard outlet or a Level 2 home charger. When fully charged, it can cover daily commutes and errands on electricity alone, then seamlessly switch to hybrid mode for longer trips. All-wheel drive is standard on the 450h+. For drivers in the New Orleans metro area who want to reduce fuel costs on daily driving, the NX 450h+ makes a compelling case.
