2023 Lexus NX 2.5 Hybrid 4WD SUV

Description

So, I’ve been driving this 2023 Lexus NX for a few months now, and honestly? It’s been a solid ride. I bought it new, only done 9,635 miles — not much on the clock, which means it’s still in great shape.

It’s a hybrid, petrol and electric combo, which gives it a bit of that electric-savvy feel without being too flashy. The 302bhp isn’t all show — it pulls when you need it, and the fuel efficiency is actually decent for a hybrid SUV, especially in mixed driving. I’ve been using it for city stuff and weekend trips, and it handles both without fuss.

The interior is clean and modern — leather gearshift, leather steering wheel with paddle shifts, and that 9.8-inch touchscreen feels sharp and responsive. Apple CarPlay and Android Auto are both working well, and I’ve actually used the wireless charger a few times. The DAB radio and audio system are solid too — not the loudest, but clear enough for music or calls.

I love the 18-inch alloy wheels — they don’t look too flashy, but they give it a bit of presence. The seats are comfy, especially the front ones with heating, and the rear seats fold down easily. The 60/40 split is handy if you’re hauling gear or just need a bit more space.

Safety features are top-notch — LED daytime running lights, parking sensors with pedestrian detection, lane change flasher, and all the airbags you’d expect. I’ve used the hill assist and traction control a few times, and they really help when driving on hills or wet roads.

There’s also a lot of practical touches: cup holders, storage bins, USB ports (two front, two rear), tie-down hooks, and even child seat anchors. The boot has a few hooks and a rear armrest with cup holders — small things, but useful.

It’s not a daily driver in the traditional sense — I don’t go crazy fast or drive long distances every day — but it’s reliable, quiet, and feels premium. I’ve had it in all four driving modes (Normal, EV, Eco, Sport), and I’ve found the EV mode works well when I’m not going far.

I’m based in Bridgnorth, Shropshire, and I’ve kept it mostly in one place. If you’re interested, I’d be happy to show it around — just call ahead, as not all cars are on-site.

It’s not a cheap car by any stretch — I bought it for £41,995, and it’s now sitting at about £37,795.50. But it’s been well-maintained, and I’ve only used it for personal trips. If you’re looking for something that feels both smart and capable, this one’s been a solid fit for me.

Let me know if you’d like to see it — happy to chat.
