I bought a used 2018 NX 300 and I love it.

I bought a used 2018 NX 300 and I love it. The only drawback is the gas mileage is not good. Overall it’s a classy vehicle.

Very Disappointing

I bought mine used and drove it for 2 years. Overall, I was very disappointed. The car is very cramped for it's size. The ride is rough. It takes premium gas and I was getting around 23MPG which seems very low for a 2.0L 4Cyl even considering the AWD. No programmable seat positions in a "luxury" car!? The infotainment system is nearly useless. The worst part is that many features are by subscription only, including remote start for $85/yr! The Lexus app takes forever to sign-in and it's incredibly inconvenient. This was my first and last Lexus.

2018 Lexus NX 300 review: Our expert's take

By Aaron Bragman

CARS.COM

Competes with: Audi Q5, Lincoln MKC, BMW X3, Mercedes-Benz GLC

Looks like: An angry Pokemon

Drivetrains: Turbocharged 2.0-liter four-cylinder or 2.5-liter hybrid-electric four-cylinder engine; six-speed automatic or two-speed continuously variable transmission; front- or all-wheel drive

Hit dealerships: TBD

Lexus has taken the wraps off its new NX compact SUV at the 2017 Shanghai auto show, the first refresh of the popular luxury model since its introduction three years ago. For the 2018 model year, Lexus has kept the updates simple: lightly updated styling, a mildly redone interior, some new displays and new interior trim. A sportier looking F Sport trim is available with more aggressive jet-black trim, exclusive wheels and metallic interior trim.
