Specs at a Glance

If you are searching for a high-end luxury crossover that refuses to hold back on character, the 2026 Lexus NX is a standout option. Many buyers find themselves comparing the NX 350 Base with the NX 350 Premium. Here is a look at how these two trims stack up against each other to help you decide which is right for your driveway.

Performance

Each trim utilizes a lively 2.4-liter turbocharged four-cylinder engine. It generates a powerful 275 horsepower and 317 lb-ft of torque, paired with a seamless eight-speed automatic transmission for agile performance. All-wheel drive is standard on both the Base and Premium models, ensuring a stable and confident driving experience regardless of the conditions.

Appearance

With its chiseled, sporty profile, the NX 350 is designed to turn heads. Both versions feature the signature spindle grille, a dramatic roofline, and bright LED headlights that provide an unmistakable presence on the road. While the Base trim comes with elegant 18-inch alloy wheels and several striking paint choices, the Premium trim maintains this sophisticated styling for a consistently upscale look.

Features

The NX 350 Base is packed with high-quality standard amenities. Inside, you will find premium NuLuxe upholstery, heated power-adjustable front seats, and the advanced Lexus Interface system. Modern drivers will especially appreciate:

  • A 9.8-inch touchscreen featuring cloud-based navigation.
  • A high-fidelity 10-speaker audio system.
  • Wireless connectivity for your smartphone.
  • The full Lexus Safety System+ 3.0 suite of driver-assist tech.

Moving up to the NX 350 Premium adds extra layers of luxury to the cabin. This trim includes ventilated front seats for improved comfort in the summer, along with driver’s seat memory settings, a power-adjustable steering column, and a power sunroof to brighten the interior.
