NX in 2026 — what's new
No 2026-specific Lexus NX update is indicated, so the SUV carries into 2026 unchanged. The latest Malaysian range change is the arrival of the NX 350h Luxury in 2025, bringing a 2.5-litre naturally aspirated hybrid with two-motor AWD. It joins the NX 350 F Sport, which remains the 2.4-litre turbo-petrol choice. Both are five-seat AWD automatics.

Which variant to buy
Most buyers should take the RM395,888 NX 350h Luxury. It is the lower-priced petrol-hybrid model and is listed with 317 hp from its 2,487 cc powertrain. The RM415,888 NX 350 F Sport costs RM20,000 more, gets a 2,393 cc turbo-petrol engine and is listed with 275 hp. Choose the F Sport only if the turbo-petrol drivetrain is specifically what you want; the available information does not set out equipment differences between the two.

Lexus NX buyer's guides & reviews
Verdict
The Lexus NX is a premium-priced compact executive SUV rather than a budget route into the class. It costs substantially more than the Zeekr 7X, Tesla Model Y and Mazda CX-60, while sitting close to the Mercedes-Benz EQE SUV, BMW X4 and Audi Q5 Sportback. Its case rests on the choice between hybrid and turbo-petrol power, standard AWD and a five-seat SUV format.
