What are the running costs?
Only two engines on offer here, and we’ll kick things off with the plug-in. Running costs with a PHEV depend mostly on your charging behaviour, so the combined WLTP figure of up to 313.9mpg for the 450h+ is a little meaningless.
But CO2 emissions as low as 21g/km mean Benefit-in-Kind tax is extremely low, even among similar plug-in hybrids.
The traditional hybrid comes in two-wheel drive and four-wheel drive configurations, with the former promising higher mpg.
We’ve only tested the 4WD model so far. Officially its figures are 44.1-47.9mpg and on a mixed test route we achieved 42mpg, which is very good.

Servicing and warranty
Service intervals for all models are every 10,000 miles or annually, whichever comes first.
As standard, the NX comes with a three-year/60,000 mile warranty. But this can be extended to an industry-leading 10-year/100,000 mile warranty.
Reliability
- Too new to tell
- Lexus is known for reliability
- Huge warranty shows company’s confidence
As this is a new car, it’s too early to write anything meaningful about its reliability.
But the previous model only accrued two recalls in the seven years it was on sale.
