When Is the 2027 Lexus NX Coming Out?

According to Lexus’ official announcement, the newly redesigned 2027 Lexus NX is scheduled to arrive during Winter 2026.

Lexus originally announced on September 1, 2026, that the extensively updated NX was expected to become available across global markets by the end of the year. The official Lexus website subsequently advertised the 2027 NX as arriving in Winter 2026.

However, there is an important distinction between a manufacturer’s projected release window and the date a particular dealership receives its first vehicles.

DISCOVER WHAT’S NEW FOR THE 2027 LEXUS NX

Will the 2027 Lexus NX Have a Gasoline-Only Engine?

No. The traditional gasoline-only Lexus NX 350 is no longer offered in the announced 2027 Lexus NX lineup.

Beginning with the 2027 model year, the new Lexus NX will feature two electrified powertrain options:

2027 Lexus NX 350h Hybrid

The Lexus NX 350h combines a gasoline engine with an electric hybrid system. It does not need to be plugged in or charged from an external power source.

For customers who want improved fuel efficiency without changing their regular driving or refueling habits, the NX 350h is an appealing option.

2027 Lexus NX 450h+ Plug-In Hybrid

The Lexus NX 450h+ combines a gasoline engine with a larger rechargeable battery and electric motors.

It allows drivers to use electric power for shorter trips while retaining the flexibility of gasoline-powered hybrid driving for longer journeys.

The 2027 NX 450h+ also introduces improved electric range and DC fast-charging capabilities.

What if you still want a gasoline-only Lexus NX?

The 2026 Lexus NX 350 remains an available model-year option, subject to dealership inventory. If a traditional gasoline-powered luxury crossover is your preference, you may want to consider a 2026 NX before remaining inventory becomes limited.

What Trim Levels Will Be Available on the 2027 Lexus NX?

Lexus has announced four primary grade choices for the redesigned 2027 NX, available across the hybrid and plug-in hybrid families.

2027 Lexus NX Model	Available Grades
NX 350h Hybrid	Premium, Premium+, F SPORT, Luxury
NX 450h+ Plug-In Hybrid	Premium, Premium+, F SPORT, Luxury

The 2027 Lexus NX 350h Premium and Premium+ grades will offer front-wheel-drive and all-wheel-drive configurations. The NX 350h F SPORT and Luxury grades will be offered exclusively with all-wheel drive.

All announced NX 450h+ Plug-In Hybrid grades will include all-wheel drive.

Depending on your driving needs and preferences, the NX Premium, Premium+, F SPORT and Luxury grades provide different combinations of comfort, styling, technology and equipment.

Additional grade-specific details and final U.S. equipment specifications are expected closer to the vehicle’s on-sale date.

How Much Will the 2027 Lexus NX Cost?

As of October 2026, Lexus has not officially announced U.S. pricing for the 2027 Lexus NX.

The final MSRP for the 2027 NX 350h Hybrid, NX 450h+ Plug-In Hybrid, Premium, Premium+, F SPORT and Luxury grades is expected to be released closer to the on-sale date.

Because the redesigned NX introduces new technology and additional standard equipment, buyers may be wondering whether the 2027 Lexus NX will cost more than the 2026 model.

Until Lexus announces official pricing, it would be premature to predict an exact price increase or decrease.

Should You Wait for 2027 Lexus NX Pricing?

If you’re interested in the latest redesigned NX and have flexibility in your purchasing timeline, waiting for official pricing may help you make a fully informed decision.

However, if you’re shopping for a luxury SUV now, the 2026 Lexus NX already offers gasoline, hybrid and plug-in hybrid configurations with published pricing.

You can also explore current inventory and applicable offers at Lexus of Concord.

Can You Order or Reserve a 2027 Lexus NX?

Customers interested in the redesigned NX may be wondering whether the 2027 Lexus NX is available to order, reserve or purchase before it officially arrives.

As of October 2026, Lexus has not published a confirmed nationwide ordering or reservation start date for the 2027 NX.

Ordering procedures, vehicle allocations, delivery schedules and reservation arrangements may vary by dealership and become clearer as the model approaches its official release.

If you’re interested in a specific 2027 NX 350h or NX 450h+ configuration, consider contacting Lexus of Concord and sharing your preferred model, grade, drivetrain and color choices.

Our team can provide currently available information and explain the next steps once ordering or allocation details are confirmed.

2027 Lexus NX 350h vs. NX 450h+: Which Should You Wait For?

For shoppers deciding between the two announced 2027 Lexus NX powertrains, understanding their differences is essential.

Why Consider the 2027 Lexus NX 350h?

The NX 350h Hybrid is designed for drivers who want the convenience of gasoline refueling combined with Lexus hybrid technology.

It may be particularly appealing to customers commuting around Concord, Walnut Creek, Lafayette, Danville, San Ramon, Oakland and San Francisco.

The NX 350h requires no external charging and offers a straightforward way to enjoy an electrified luxury SUV.

Why Consider the 2027 Lexus NX 450h+?

The NX 450h+ Plug-In Hybrid is designed for drivers who want additional electric driving capability.

Select grades are expected to provide more than 40 miles of manufacturer-estimated electric range, and the new model will include standard DC fast charging.

For customers with access to home charging, workplace charging or compatible public charging stations, the NX 450h+ may provide greater flexibility in how they power their everyday drives.

Which is better?

The NX 350h may be the better fit if you prioritize simplicity and don’t want to plug in.

The NX 450h+ may be worth considering if you want to maximize electric driving opportunities while keeping a gasoline engine for longer journeys.

Final EPA ratings and detailed 2027 specifications will be available closer to launch.

Should You Buy a 2026 Lexus NX or Wait for the 2027 Lexus NX?

This is perhaps the most important question for customers who are currently shopping for a new luxury crossover.

• Already like the technology and design of the current NX.
• Want to schedule a test drive and compare available vehicles in person.

• Want a standard 14-inch touchscreen.
• Are interested in Lexus Safety System+ 4.0.
• Want a plug-in hybrid with DC fast-charging capability.
• Have flexibility in your vehicle purchase timeline.

There isn’t one answer that works for every buyer.
