2 Answers
Differences between the Lexus NX and RX: Different vehicle positioning: The Lexus NX is a mid-size SUV; the Lexus RX is a mid-to-large-size SUV. Different body dimensions: The length, width, and height of the Lexus NX are 4640mm, 1845mm, and 1645mm respectively; the length, width, and height of the Lexus RX are 4890mm, 1895mm, and 1690mm respectively. Different powertrain systems: The Lexus NX is equipped with a 2.0L naturally aspirated engine, a 2.5L hybrid system, and a 2.0L turbocharged engine; the Lexus RX is equipped with a 2.0L turbocharged engine and a 3.5L hybrid system.
The differences between the Lexus RX and NX are quite significant. The RX is noticeably larger, with a length close to five meters, offering a particularly spacious interior where three adults can sit comfortably in the back row. For families like mine with children and frequent outings with elderly relatives, the RX's trunk can easily accommodate two strollers plus luggage. The NX, on the other hand, is more compact, measuring just over 4.6 meters in length, making it more suitable for small families or couples. In terms of power, the RX features a 3.5L hybrid system that delivers smooth acceleration and low fuel consumption, while the base NX comes with a 2.5L naturally aspirated engine that feels less powerful on highways. Another small detail is that the RX's suspension is softer, reducing bumps over speed bumps, whereas the NX's sportier suspension makes it feel a bit rougher on uneven roads. If budget allows and space and comfort are priorities, I'd choose the RX; for daily city commuting, the NX is more agile and easier to park.
