Lexus Australia has adjusted the asking price of its NX mid-size SUV as part of a wider range price readjustment.
UPDATE, 28/08/2023 – Lexus has released an updated statement regarding its price protected orders. We have updated this statement and included it below.
“Customer orders taken up until May 31 and built during May are protected from the GPI. Vehicles ordered or built from June 1 are subject to the GPI,” a spokesperson from Lexus Australia told CarExpert.
Certain Lexus NX variants have had their asking price increased by up to $850, whereas others had the price reduced by up to $680.
The 2023 Lexus NX range now starts at $62,275 before on-roads for the NX 250 2WD, and extends to $90,948 before on-roads for the NX 450h AWD F Sport plug-in hybrid (PHEV).
It’s worth noting the latter still can’t be ordered, with customers only able to place an expression of interest for the vehicle as Lexus clears its backlog of the variant.
A Lexus Australia spokesperson told CarExpert the new pricing reflects Luxury Car Tax (LCT) adjustments and “general price increases”.
The luxury car tax threshold increased in July 2023. Fuel efficient vehicles that produce less than 7.0L per 100km and are priced under $89,332 are now exempt from LCT.
Vehicles that fall outside the fuel consumption threshold and are priced less than $76,950 will also be LCT exempt.
All prices are before on-road costs.
The 2023 Lexus NX comes with a range of petrol, hybrid and plug-in hybrid powetrains.
The NX 250 uses a 2.5-litre naturally aspirated four-cylinder engine with 152kW of power and 243Nm of torque. This is mated to an eight-speed automatic transmission with drive sent to the front wheels only.
The NX 350 uses a 2.4-litre turbocharged four-cylinder engine with 205kW and 430Nm. This is mated to an eight-speed automatic transmission with drive sent through an all-wheel drive system.
The NX 350h has a 2.5-litre four-cylinder petrol-electric hybrid powertrain with a system output of 179kW. Lexus lists maximum torque figures of 239Nm for the engine, 270Nm for the 2WD model’s electric model, and 391Nm for the AWD model’s electric motors.
The NX 450h+ mates a 2.5-litre four-cylinder petrol engine with two electric motors and an 18.1kWh lithium-ionbattery, with a total system output of 227kW. It has an electronic continuously variable transmission (eCVT) with drive sent through an all-wheel drive system.
The 2023 Lexus NX uses 6.9L/100km in NX 250 guise, 8.1L/100km in the NX 350, and 5.0L/100km in the NX 350h.
The plug-in hybrid NX 450h+ has an electric-only range claim of 87km, and a 1.3L/100km combined cycle fuel economy rating.
The Lexus NX 450h+ comes with a Type 2 AC charging port, with charging from the high-voltage battery from 0 to 100 per cent at 240V (32A) claimed to take two hours and 30 minutes.
All 2023 Lexus NX models have a 55 litre fuel tank.
The 2023 Lexus NX measures 4660mm long, 1865mm wide, and 1640mm tall with a 2690mm wheelbase.

The entire range has a maximum braked towing capacity of 1000kg besides the NX 350h which has a 1500kg braked towing capacity.
The Lexus NX is covered by a five-year, unlimited-kilometre warranty, with electrified models featuring a 10-year, unlimited-kilometre high-voltage battery warranty.
Logbook servicing is required every 12 months or 15,000km, whichever comes first. The first three services are capped at $495.
