2015 LEXUS NX 200T F-SPORT & 300H: FULL REVIEW

EV Channels Review

The 2015 Lexus NX 200t F-Sport AWD is presented as a radically styled, all-new compact luxury SUV. The review highlights its aggressive, angular design language, particularly the bold spindle grille and distinctive LED lighting. Performance-wise, the 200t model features Lexus's first turbocharged 2.0L four-cylinder engine producing 235 hp and 258 lb-ft of torque, paired with a six-speed automatic transmission. The hybrid 300h variant offers a combined 194 hp from a 2.5L four-cylinder and battery, paired with a CVT. The F-Sport trim, while visually distinct with its mesh grille and sportier body kit, does not offer powertrain upgrades but includes a sport-tuned suspension. Interior technology is a strong point, with the new Lexus Inform system controlled via a remote touchpad and featuring navigation, app integration, and various information services. The F-Sport specific interior details, such as the steering wheel and gauges, are noted. Practicality is addressed with ample cargo space and standard safety features, though ventilated seats are not available on F-Sport models. Overall, the NX is praised for its unique styling and tech-forward interior, with the F-Sport package enhancing its aggressive aesthetic.
