With multiple gasoline, traditional hybrid, and plug-in hybrid powertrains, there’s a version of the 2026 Lexus NX for everyone. The 2026 Lexus NX Hybrid may be a better fit for drivers looking for a more efficient commute, while the dominant 2026 Lexus NX PHEV has more power for pure driving fun. Compare these models for yourself at Fields Lexus of Glenview — with these exciting features, it’s a tough choice.
What’s Unique about the 2026 Lexus NX Hybrid?
The 2026 Lexus NX Hybrid uses a traditional hybrid setup, meaning that the electric battery is totally powered by the gasoline engine and regenerative braking. Between the gas engine and electric motors, this powertrain delivers up to 240 horsepower combined, making it roughly equivalent to the 270-horsepower gasoline powertrain. With a responsive, efficient drive, this powertrain is perfect for anyone who wants to spend less time at the gas pump.
What’s Unique about the 2026 Lexus NX PHEV?
The 2026 Lexus NX PHEV is a true plug-in hybrid, so you can drive this SUV for up to 37 miles on all-electric power. The responsive electric motors give it more driving power in hybrid mode, too, with up to 304 net combined horsepower. Plus, unlike the traditional hybrid model, every 2026 Lexus NX PHEV has all-wheel drive for slippery Illinois winters.
What Do the Models Share?
While the 2026 Lexus NX PHEV has more power and more luxurious features, both SUVs feature a refined interior that makes the drive melt away. Stylish details like a leather-trimmed steering wheel, a fast-response interior heater, and heated front seats all come standard on both models. Plus, whether you’re using the 9.8-inch touchscreen on the traditional hybrid or the massive 14.0-inch touchscreen on the PHEV model, you’ll enjoy connected features like standard wireless Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto™ and hands-free voice control.
