New Lexus NX 2026 FIRST LOOK – Everything You Need To Know!

We've had an unique first look at the brand-new Lexus NX. Lexus has offered its hybrid premium SUV a substantial update for 2026– but what's changed, and is it enough to keep the Audi Q5 and BMW X3 at bay?

In this video, we get up close with the new NX 450h+– winner of our Plug-in Hybrid of the Year award in 2022 and 2023– ahead of the order books opening in October.

You'll discover:
– Real-world range: how the larger 23kWh battery raises the NX 450h+'s electric range to a claimed 62 miles– more than the BMW X3 and equivalent to the Audi Q5 e-hybrid
– Charging: the new-found capability to fast charge from 10-80% in around half an hour, plus a 1500-watt socket in the boot
– Design: the frameless spindle grille, new adaptive LED headlights and L-shaped light signature
– Interior: forged bamboo trim, a 14in infotainment screen throughout the variety, and a "sensory concierge" complete with an aroma generator
– Practicality: rear passenger area and boot capability
– Efficiency: power up from 288hp to 303hp in the plug-in hybrid, dropping the 0-60mph time

    So after YEARS of other manufacturers being told “We want controls & buttons” Lexus decide to delete the buttons and controls!! WHY is Toyota running 5 years behind the competition?

      It’s available to order in October – but yes it’s the new 27 model year car.

    i miss when the cars would have their actual logo, and there was the universal blue logo highlights to indicate hybrid energy 😭😭❤❤

    Just update minor changes of exterior. I see the parallel daylights look a lot like ones in MG Hector Tomahawk/ Wulling Starlight 560 😀

    Disappointed with the updates. Came close to buying the 450+ 2 years ago but the variable transmission drove me bonkers. What should be a refined car made a racket when overtaking, no word of that being overhauled in the video. Disappearance of the hvac physical controls also disappointing, they were easy to use.

    Looks good for Lexus but why would you remove physical switches. The old dash layout was a plus and sign of quality for me.
