2026 Lexus NX with most futuristic look is coming with exterior and interior changes. Lets find out more about it:
2026 Lexus NX Exterior Design
2026 Lexus NX is going to feature aggressive and modern look. In the front we are going to see changes in signature spindle grille. it likely to have three more three-dimensional appearance.
New headlights are going to be slimmer and will have sharp angles. I like how daytime running lights integrated to provide a cohesive and aerodynamic look to front fascia.
Leaked details reveal that hood will have small creases which i personally think going to enhance the overall front look of 2026 Lexus NX.
Rumored Powertrain Options
Let’s discuss what powertrains we are going to see in 2026 Lexus NX. I am pretty much sure that there will be multiple engine options. Base or standard model is going to feature 2.5L inline-4 engine which is likely to produce 170-200 horsepower and 170-200 lb-ft of torque which i feel not bad for entry level trims.
We also going to get plug in hybrid NH 450h+ which will be producing around 300 horsepower. Getting such performance in hybrid vehicle is quite impressive.
Apart from above two powertrains there are rumors of all electric variants. which would be a first for the lineup. If this happens, Lexus would be serious about capturing EV market.
On the tech side, expect advanced driver assistance systems, including:
- Level 2 semi-autonomous driving capabilities
- Adaptive cruise control
- Lane-keeping assist
- Automatic emergency braking
Interior & Technology
Interior of 2026 Lexus NX is going to feature new things like 14-inch touchscreen infotainment system with latest Lexus interface software with enhanced voice recognition. Yes, Wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto will come standard.
Physical buttons like climate controls below the screen are going to remain same. However, center console is now redesigned for better storage options, and wireless charging pad.
Seats are going to offer more premium synthetic leather to semi-aniline leather in higher trims. I personally like is that heated and ventilated seats are going to be standard and there will be option of massage function.
A panoramic sunroof option further enhances its appeal allowing fresh air intake while driving. New ambient lighting will be more customizable. so you can set the color as per your mood.

Pricing is always a tricky subject, but based on the current market trends and the added features, here’s what we can expect:
- Base Model: Rumored to start at around $40,000
- Hybrid Variants: Likely to start at around $45,000
- Plug-in Hybrid (NX 450h+): Could push $50,000 or more
