The 2026 Lexus NX in a Nutshell
It actually took some time before Lexus expanded its crossover lineup. It took the company 14 years before it came up with a smaller alternative to the RX in the form of the NX. It’s safe to say that it’s been a huge success for Toyota’s luxury division, quickly becoming one of it’s best-sellers.
Introduced in 2014, the NX was fully redesigned for the 2022 model year. Like the previous generation, the second-generation model uses the same underpinnings as the RAV4. It’s been a few years since that generation has been revealed, although it still haven’t been given a facelift. Still, the 2026 model gets some significant adjustments in trims and options.
