The Lexus NX 350h is powered by a refined 2.5-liter, four-cylinder petrol engine coupled with a high-torque electric motor and a lithium-ion battery. This self-charging hybrid system delivers a combined output of 240 hp, providing a balance of responsive acceleration and exceptional fuel efficiency. The powertrain is mated to an electronically controlled Continuously Variable Transmission (e-CVT) and an intelligent All-Wheel Drive (AWD) system that automatically distributes torque between the front and rear wheels based on driving conditions.
For the 2026 model, Lexus has optimized the hybrid control system to offer a more natural acceleration feel that matches the engine speed with the vehicle's pace. The NX 350h features multiple drive modes, including Eco, Normal, and Sport, allowing the driver to tailor the vehicle's responsiveness. Additionally, an EV mode enables short-distance driving on pure electric power, perfect for silent, emission-free maneuvers in residential areas or heavy city traffic.
