The new 2025 NX 350 AWD from Lexus is another great small luxury SUV in the line. The exterior has been slightly updated for this year, and the engine has been greatly improved. This makes it a great choice for drivers who want both style and speed.
For the 2025 NX 350 AWD, Lexus has gone for a more aggressive design, but the general shape is still the same. The signature spindle grille gets a new mesh design and a darker finish that hints at how powerful it is. The new, thinner headlights on either side of the grille make the car look sharper. Lexus isn't saying much about any other changes they might be making to the outside, but reports say that darker window trim and new wheels with a two-tone finish might be on the way. To go with the darker parts, chrome accents will likely be used rarely to add a touch of elegance and contrast. The new headlights are also a secret, but rumors say they will have a more horizontal shape that shows off the NX's width and stable stance.
Under the hood is where the 2025 NX 350 AWD changes the most. The well-known 2.0-liter turbocharged engine is getting an upgrade. There are reports that the displacement could go up to 2.4 liters. This means a big rise in power; rumors say it will go up to around 275 horsepower, which is a good boost from the current model's 250 horsepower. The 8-speed automatic transmission should stay the same, making gear changes smooth and quick. Lexus may also come out with a better all-wheel-drive system that will make the car easier to drive and handle in any weather.
Lexus hasn't said how much the 2025 NX 350 AWD will cost yet. Though, well-informed guesses say the starting price will be around $45,525, which is the same as the present model. The public reveal is likely to happen later this summer, and deliveries will start in the fall of 2024.
