2026 Lexus NX 350 Trims and Pricing: The Gas-Powered Lineup

Lexus restructured its compact luxury crossover for the 2026 model year, and the change that matters most for gas-engine shoppers is straightforward: the naturally aspirated NX 250 has been discontinued. The turbocharged NX 350 is now the entry point for gas-powered models, so every gas NX starts with the brand’s more powerful 2.4-liter turbocharged engine. You can browse our new 2026 Lexus NX inventory to see what is currently in stock.

The gas NX 350 is offered in four grades, all with standard all-wheel drive: the NX 350, Premium, Luxury, and F SPORT Handling. Beyond the gas lineup, the NX is also available as a self-charging NX 350h hybrid and an NX 450h+ plug-in hybrid; for those powertrains, see our 2026 Lexus NX hybrid trims and pricing guide.

What’s New for the 2026 NX 350

The headline change for gas shoppers is the discontinuation of the naturally aspirated NX 250, which makes the turbocharged NX 350 the new entry point to the gas lineup. Lexus also expanded color availability for 2026, adding Infrared to the palette and offering Ultra White across the lineup.

Gas Powertrain: One Engine Across the Lineup

Every gas-powered NX 350 shares the same drivetrain. It uses a 2.4-liter turbocharged four-cylinder producing 275 horsepower and 317 lb-ft of torque, paired with an eight-speed automatic transmission. The NX 350 earns an EPA-estimated 21 mpg city, 28 mpg highway, and 24 mpg combined, and when properly equipped it can tow up to 2,000 pounds. All-wheel drive is standard on every gas grade, adding all-weather confidence for drivers across Temecula, Murrieta, and along the I-15 corridor toward Corona. Full specifications are published on the official Lexus NX model page.

EPA-estimated fuel economy figures are for comparison purposes only. Your actual mileage will vary depending on driving conditions, how you drive and maintain your vehicle, battery age/condition, and other factors.

Maximum towing and payload capacity figures are based on properly equipped vehicles and vary by configuration. Do not exceed any weight rating. See your owner’s manual and the vehicle’s door-jamb label for specific capacities.

The 2026 Lexus NX 350 Gas Trims

The gas lineup is structured across four grades, letting you choose exactly how much refinement and equipment you want. Because the powertrain is shared, stepping up the ladder is about comfort, technology, and style rather than performance.

The NX 350 is the well-equipped starting point. It comes standard with NuLuxe synthetic leather seating, 18-inch wheels, LED headlights, heated front seats, a digital instrument cluster, a 9.8-inch touchscreen with wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, a 10-speaker audio system, a power liftgate, and the full Lexus Safety System+ 3.0 suite.

The NX 350 Premium builds on that with a power moonroof, a hands-free power liftgate, heated and ventilated front seats, ambient interior lighting, and a power tilt-and-telescoping steering column.

The NX 350 Luxury elevates the cabin with genuine leather upholstery, a larger 14-inch touchscreen with integrated navigation, a head-up display, a digital rearview mirror camera, and upgraded LED headlights.

The NX 350 F SPORT Handling is built for a more athletic feel, adding a sport-tuned Adaptive Variable Suspension with adaptive dampers, Sport S, Sport S+, and Custom drive modes, a heated steering wheel, a monochromatic exterior with body-color fender trim, and distinctive 20-inch dark-finish wheels.

Safety and Driver Assistance

Every 2026 NX 350 comes standard with Lexus Safety System+ 3.0. The suite includes a Pre-Collision System with pedestrian and bicyclist detection, automatic emergency braking, adaptive cruise control, lane-tracing assist, emergency steering assist, road-sign recognition, and automatic high beams. Blind-spot monitoring, rear cross-traffic alert, and rear automatic braking are also standard.

In independent testing, the 2026 Lexus NX earned the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety’s Top Safety Pick+ award, its highest honor. The NX received Good ratings, the top score, in the small overlap front, updated moderate overlap front, and updated side crash tests, along with a Good headlight rating and a Good rating for front crash prevention. You can review the full results on the IIHS 2026 Lexus NX ratings page.

Available driver-assistance upgrades include a head-up display, standard on Luxury and F SPORT Handling, a 360-degree camera view offered on every grade except the base NX 350, and automated parking on the Luxury and F SPORT Handling grades.
