2026 Lexus NX350h Review in 4K: Why So Popular?

The Lexus NX is like the middle child in a large family. It’s quite a lot more expensive than the UX but not as plush or spacious as the RX. And Yet, this is one of the most sought after Lexus models here in Canada.

The 2026 NX350h is powered by a 2.5L naturally aspirated 4-cylinder that produces 240 net hp (179 kW). As per usual, Toyota/Lexus won’t say the net torque but the engine torque is rated at 167 lb-ft (226 Nm). From behind the steering wheel, this engine feels as though it has enough of a pep. When commuting to work, it doesn’t feel underpowered and it responds quickly enough when you demand a burst of acceleration while performing an overtake maneuver on a highway. But when it’s fully loaded with cargo and people, it can feel as though its struggling to go up a steep hill. However, if you switch the NX to Sport mode, the throttle response is much sharper and it feels a little bit more eager to get going.

The 2026 Lexus NX350h is rated for 5.7 L/100km (41.2 MPG) in a city and 6.4 L/100km (36.7 MPG) on a highway. I managed to get 6.1 L/100km (38.5 MPG) during my time with the car which is slightly worse fuel consumption than when I last drove the NX350h. Granted, the last time I reviewed this car, it was Spring and I drove it more often in a city environment. This time around, it was late November, which means lower temperatures, and I drove it roughly half in a city and half on highways. But either way, it’s still good fuel economy figures.

The 2026 Lexus NX350h starts at $57,675 CAD ($45,470 USD, FWD). This demo vehicle had the Ultra Luxury package equipped which raised the price to $65,782 CAD ($48,945 USD, Premium AWD). That is quite a bit of money for something that has less space than the German rivals but at the end of the day, you are paying less than the competitors and saving more fuel.
