Luxury in Motion: What’s New for the 2026 Lexus NX

A Fresh Chapter for Lexus NX: Elevating Hybrid Excellence in 2026

Lexus continues to exceed expectations by expanding the NX lineup with three striking new electrified models. Showcasing Lexus’s unwavering focus on performance, comfort, and Canadian craftsmanship, the 2026 NX range welcomes two new F SPORT grades for the hybrid NX 350h, plus an all-new F SPORT grade for the plug-in hybrid NX 450h+ - now available in Canada with a starting MSRP of $54,830.

Sculpted Design That Inspires Movement

Bold and athletic, the 2026 NX design exudes motion even when stationary. The signature spindle grille makes a bold statement, while rear blade lamps leave a lasting impression. Select models elevate the aesthetic further with triple-beam headlamps and bespoke 20-inch wheels that reinforce their dynamic presence.

Cabin Crafted for Connection and Comfort

Inside, luxury meets thoughtful design. Drawing on the Lexus Tazuna concept, the cockpit enhances the bond between driver and road. With Takumi craftsmanship and Omotenashi hospitality at the forefront, the cabin projects warmth, precision, and intuitive connectivity. Many models offer multi-colour ambient lighting and panoramic moonroofs to elevate ambiance and comfort.

Performance That Speaks to the Canadian Spirit

With Canadian winters in mind, all NX models come with all-wheel drive. The 2026 lineup includes three flexible powertrains—gasoline, hybrid, and plug-in hybrid - tailored for every driving preference. Each package is built to deliver the seamless and refined Lexus Driving Signature.

Enhanced F SPORT Packages: Power Meets Precision
