Engine Performance

The 2021 Lexus NX gets its power from a 2.0L four-cylinder turbocharged engine that puts out 235 horsepower and 258 pound-feet of torque. This engine gets paired with a six-speed automatic transmission and throws its power to front-wheel drive.

If you are looking to be more environmentally conscious, the Lexus NX comes in the NX 300h, which is a hybrid version. This hybrid uses both a gas-powered engine and a battery pack to reduce the amount of harmful emissions you put out when driving down US-10 in Santa Monica.
