If you’re wondering how the 2026 Lexus NX 350 and NX 350h compare to each other, then you’ve come to the right place. Our team here at Jim White Lexus of Toledo have prepared this article to go over what each of these compact SUV variants has to offer and what they have in common.
Interior
As you’d expect from their names, the NX 350 and NX 350h share a lot of features, especially within the cabin. Both models feature a standard 8-way power-adjustable driver's seat that includes 2-way power lumbar adjustment to keep you comfortable on long commutes down Route 51. If you’re sharing the vehicle or teaching your teen how to drive, then the available Lexus Memory System will come in handy. This feature in both models can save your preferred settings for the driver's seat, steering wheel, and outside mirrors. Regardless of variant choice and outside weather, you’ll travel in comfort with the available heated and ventilated front chairs. Lastly, you’ll enjoy the available thematic ambient illumination that can set the mood for any drive.
Performance
The biggest difference between the 2026 Lexus NX 350 and the 2026 Lexus NX 350h is beneath the hood. The conventional 2.4L turbocharged 4-cylinder can be found in the first vehicle and is able to produce up to 275 horsepower1 and 317 lb.-ft. of torque. The NX 350h has instead a 2.5L 4-cylinder hybrid engine that works with a permanent electric motor to reach up to 240 total combined horsepower1. Additionally, AWD comes as an available feature for the hybrid model while it’s standard on the combustion variant. What the NX 350h lacks in muscle, it makes up for with efficiency since it achieves a 42/38/40 MPG city/hwy/combined2 fuel economy rating with FWD. The NX 350 is still efficient with its 28/21/24 MPG city/hwy/combined2 fuel efficiency score that will still mean your trips around Toledo aren’t interrupted with frequent gas station stops.
Technology
Whether you want the efficiency of the hybrid or the power of the combustion engine, there’s plenty of advanced technological features in both. When you reach your destination, you can use the available Advanced Park3 system in both vehicles to squeeze into any tight spaces. The NX 350h also has available Remote Park3 capabilities, so you can step outside the vehicle and have it park on its own. It’s not one sided, however, since the NX 350 has standard Active Sound Control, which can adjust the volume of your music to keep it clear. Features like the 10-speaker Lexus Premium Sound System come standard in both variants for concert-like listening experiences.
