Overview
The Lexus NX is a compact executive SUV with five seats, positioned for buyers who want a premium SUV with a choice of petrol hybrid or turbo petrol power. This AZ20 generation arrived in Malaysia in 2022, and the current range starts from RM395,888 for the NX 350h Luxury.
NX in 2026 — what's new
For 2026, the Lexus NX carries on without a specific model-year update. The current Malaysian range is the NX 350h Luxury and NX 350 F Sport. The latest change is the arrival of the NX 350h Luxury in 2025, using a 2.5-litre naturally aspirated petrol hybrid setup with two-motor AWD; the F Sport continues with the 2.4-litre turbo petrol powertrain first detailed at the second-generation launch.

Which variant to buy
Most buyers should start with the NX 350h Luxury at RM395,888. It is the cheaper car here and gives you the petrol hybrid drivetrain, five seats and a conventional automatic. The NX 350 F Sport costs RM415,888, so the RM20,000 gap mainly buys the 2.4-litre turbo petrol engine with 275 hp. Pay more only if you want that stronger petrol powertrain; check the equipment list because the basic figures do not show a clear kit advantage.

Verdict
The NX is a costly compact executive SUV, not a cut-price alternative. It starts above the Zeekr 7X, Tesla Model Y and Mazda CX-60, and sits close to Land Rover Discovery Sport and Mercedes-Benz EQC/EQE SUV money. What it does give is a simple two-car choice: the lower-priced 350h Luxury hybrid or the more powerful 350 F Sport turbo petrol.
