Advanced Hybrid Technology from Lexus

The Lexus Hybrid Drive system combines a gasoline engine with electric motors to deliver smooth acceleration and improved fuel economy.

Unlike traditional hybrid systems, the Lexus NX uses an electric rear motor for its all-wheel drive system, which automatically distributes power when additional traction is needed.

This advanced system helps deliver:

  • improved traction in wet or slippery conditions

  • responsive acceleration

  • reduced fuel consumption

  • quieter operation during city driving

Drivers throughout Contra Costa County and the Bay Area appreciate how seamlessly the hybrid system transitions between gasoline and electric power.

Beyond the hybrid powertrain, the Lexus NX Hybrid offers several performance technologies that enhance the driving experience.

Key performance features include:

  • Available F SPORT Handling package

  • Adaptive Variable Suspension

  • Drive Mode Select with multiple driving modes

  • Electronically controlled braking system

  • Predictive efficiency assist

These technologies allow drivers to customize their driving experience while maintaining the refined comfort Lexus vehicles are known for.

Premium Interior Technology

Performance is only one part of the Lexus NX experience. Inside the cabin, the NX Hybrid offers advanced technology designed to keep drivers connected and comfortable.

Available technology features include:

  • 14-inch touchscreen display

  • Wireless Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto™

  • Lexus Interface voice assistant

  • Mark Levinson® premium audio system

  • Digital rearview mirror

  • Cloud-based navigation

The driver-focused cockpit makes the NX Hybrid both intuitive and enjoyable to drive.

Cargo Space and Everyday Versatility

Despite its hybrid powertrain, the Lexus NX Hybrid maintains excellent cargo space for everyday use.

Drivers can expect:

  • 22.7 cubic feet of cargo space behind the rear seats

  • Up to 46.9 cubic feet with seats folded down

This makes the NX Hybrid ideal for commuting, road trips, and daily errands throughout the Bay Area.
