This is a Motormouth couple car comparison of the new Lexus RX35oh versus the new Lexus NX350h hybrid SUVs.
Two Lexus Hybrids battle it out in our comparison this week. NX 350h vs. RX 350h, which one would you choose? The Lexus NX and RX hybrids have the same powertrain, a 2.5L 4-cylinder with Lexus hybrid drive matched to an ECVT with a combined 240 horsepower for the NX and 246 horsepower for the RX, standard AWD. The Lexus RX hybrid can go further on a full tank of gas, it gets about 996 km/619 miles to every fill, the NX 911 km/566 miles.The Lexus NX gets a little better fuel economy at 5.7L/100 km, 41 MPG city and 6.4L/100 km, 37 MPG highway. The RX 6.3L/100 km, 37 MPG city and 6.8L/100 km, 34 MPG highway. The Lexus RX is 9” longer and just over 2” wider than the NX but it doesn’t offer a lot more passenger space. They have the same front row legroom, but the RX has a little more second row legroom, just over an inch more. The RX offers more cargo space behind the second row at 29.6 cubic feet, the NX 22.7 cubic feet. Overall cargo space is about the same in both the NX 46.9 cubic feet and RX 46.2 cubic feet.
The Lexus NX starts at $53,725 CAD/$43,805 USD and the Lexus RX $63,425 CAD/$50,150 USD that’s an extra $9,700 CAD/$6,345 USD for the RX. Both the Lexus RX and Lexus NX come with similar standard features, a 7” multi-information display, a 9.8” touchscreen, available 14”, wireless Apple Carplay and Android Auto, Nuluxe heated front seats, a heated steering wheel and a power driver’s seat.
The Lexus RX gets a few more standard features including, driver seat memory, a power rear door, ventilated front seats and a moonroof. In the US, the heated steering wheel is not a standard feature on RX and NX models. There is one feature the RX offers which the NX doesn’t, ventilated rear seats. Top trim to top trim, the Lexus RX will cost you an extra $9,650 CAD/$6,895 USD with similar features except the RX does have ventilated rear seats and a 21-speaker Mark Levinson sound system vs. 17-speakers in the NX. Is it worth the extra $$$?
