2027 Lexus NX revealed with new look and more hybrid power

Lexus has revealed an updated version of its NX SUV for 2027, introducing changes to both the way it looks and the way it drives, according to multiple reports. The NX sits just behind the larger RX as Lexus's second best-selling model, making this refresh significant for the brand's line-up.

Inside, the cabin has been reworked with a new dashboard layout that brings more technology into the driver's environment. The steering wheel is smaller than before, and the driving position has been lowered, which together aim to give the experience a more driver-focused feel. These are the kinds of changes that tend to make a real difference to how a car feels on a long journey or during everyday town driving.

The electrified powertrain options have also been updated, with multiple reports pointing to meaningful improvements in hybrid output. The NX has always leaned heavily on its hybrid credentials, and this revision appears to push that further rather than simply carry over what was there before.

For UK drivers interested in the premium SUV market, the NX competes in a segment that also includes the Toyota RAV4, which shares its platform. Pricing and exact UK specifications had not been confirmed at the time of the reveal, but the 2027 model year update positions the NX as a more capable and better-equipped proposition than its predecessor.
