For the 2018 model year, Lexus rebranded the previous 'NX 200t' to the 'NX 300' to better reflect its refined performance, alongside introducing a refreshed exterior, an upgraded interior interface, and a heavily enhanced standard safety suite.

It is the ultimate choice for the professional who wants a vehicle that stands out elegantly in a valet line while delivering the world-class reliability and resale value for which Lexus is legendary.Under the hood, the NX 300 F SPORT is powered by a punchy 2.0-liter Twin-Scroll Turbocharged inline 4-cylinder engine, producing 235 horsepower and a robust 258 lb-ft of torque. This torque-rich powerplant is mated to an intelligent 6-speed automatic transmission with steering-wheel-mounted paddle shifters. Available in both a nimble Front-Wheel Drive setup or an Electronic AWD system, the NX 300 sprints from 0 to 60 mph in a crisp 7.0 seconds. The turbocharger features an integrated exhaust manifold that virtually eliminates turbo lag, providing an immediate, linear surge of power that makes highway merging and spirited city driving incredibly engaging.The driving experience is significantly enhanced by the exclusive F SPORT chassis upgrades. It features a sport-tuned suspension with front and rear performance dampers that minimize body roll through aggressive corners, offering a much more planted and athletic feel than the standard NX models. The Drive Mode Select system allows the driver to toggle between ECO, NORMAL, and SPORT modesinstantly reconfiguring throttle response and steering weight. For an even more immersive feel, the F SPORT includes Active Sound Control, which subtly channels the natural, sporty frequencies of the turbocharged engine into the cabin.On the exterior, the 2018 NX 300 F SPORT is an absolute head-turner, showcasing:An aggressive, jet-black F SPORT mesh spindle grille paired with a unique front bumper and lower valanceStriking, split LED headlights and signature L-shaped daytime running lightsF SPORT exclusive gloss-black side mirrors and distinctive front fender badgingLarge 18-inch split-five-spoke alloy wheels wrapped in premium performance tiresA sleek rear bumper accented by chrome-tipped dual exhaust outletsInside, the cabin swaps traditional wood trims for a high-tech, driver-centric cockpit wrapped in authentic racing-inspired details.
