The Lexus NX is a compact luxury SUV aimed squarely at buyers who want premium refinement and brand prestige in a practical, right-sized package. Now in its second generation covering model years 2022 through 2024, the NX competes in one of the most crowded segments in the industry, going up against rivals like the BMW X3 and Mercedes-Benz GLC. It appeals to urban professionals and small families who prioritize comfort and brand cachet.
The 2024 Lexus NX has not been crash-tested by NHTSA, so it carries no Safety Index. Its safety record here is built from 4 recalls and 37 owner complaints on file, giving it a moderate recall and complaint burden.

Reviewers generally praise the second-generation NX for its significantly upgraded interior quality, with noticeably more refined materials and a modern infotainment experience compared to its predecessor. Driving dynamics are described as composed and comfortable rather than sporty. Most reviewers position it as a strong value within the compact luxury SUV segment, though some note the cabin space is tighter than certain rivals.
