Lexus Safety System+ standard on all models

The self-charging hybrid delivers combined fuel use of 5.7-5.9 l/100 km in front-wheel-drive form and 5.9-6.4 l/100 km with E-Four all-wheel drive. Real-world figures stay close to the official numbers in mixed driving.

Official service is due every 15 000 km or once a year, whichever comes first. Intermediate checks cover oil and filters. full services follow at 30 000 km intervals. The Lexus Relax programme adds a free extra year of cover each time the car is serviced at a dealer, up to ten years or 160 000 km.

Euro NCAP awarded the NX five stars, with strong scores for adult and child protection plus safety assist. Every model has the third-generation Lexus Safety System+ as standard, covering pre-collision detection for cars, pedestrians, cyclists and motorcycles, lane tracing, adaptive cruise and road-sign recognition. Higher grades add lane-change assist and front cross-traffic alert.

Living with the car is straightforward: the hybrid system needs little extra attention beyond normal oil changes, the battery sits under the rear seat without eating boot space, and the long warranty keeps ownership costs predictable.
