Lexus Australia has increased pricing on its NX by up to $4300.
The range now opens at $63,400 before on-road costs for the NX 250 2WD and extends to $95,248 before on-road costs for the NX 450h+ AWD F Sport Plug-in Hybrid.
“The adjustments to NX are necessary due to increased materials and manufacturing costs and inflationary pressure incurred by both our parent and local operations,” a spokesperson from Lexus Australia told CarExpert.
The NX 450h+ plug-in hybrid is subject to a stop-sale as a result of high demand and strangled supply. Lexus Australia confirmed nearly 12 months ago the move would allow its dealers to focus on delivering vehicles to customers who have already placed orders.
