A hybrid SUV like the 2024 Lexus NXh at your Lexus dealer is a perfect vehicle for urban and suburban drivers. With its diminutive size and sophisticated standard features, this hybrid is designed to meet your daily demands as a city dweller or a commuter. 

The base NX hybrid is the NX 350h and has a 2.5-liter four-cylinder hybrid engine that can produce 239 horsepower. This SUV has a standard AWD drivetrain and hill start assist, which can prevent rolling backward on city hills. The base trim can tow up to 2,000 lbs. This model has an amazing fuel economy of 41 MPG in the city, 37 MPG on the interstate, and 39 MPG combined. 

Flexible Cargo and Seating

The five-seat SUV offers a cargo volume of 46.9 cubic feet. This model has a flexible cabin with a folding second-row seat that allows you to back extra gear when you need to or keep the seats folded up to maximize the seating capacity of the SUV. On the topic of seats, this model has power-adjustable front seats for optimal comfort, too. 

Convenience and Comfort

The NXh cabin is full of comfort and convenience features to make your ride more efficient and organized. Drivers can enjoy a luxurious leather-wrapped tilting and telescoping steering wheel, which can be adjusted to reduce steering wheel fatigue. The steering wheel also has standard controls so you never have to take your hands off the wheel. 

As for the exterior, standard convenience features include power-folding side mirrors, rain-detecting windshield wipers, and fog lights. The fog lights engage to cut through mist and smog, while the rain-sensing windshield wipers automatically turn on to keep the front windshield clear even during very heavy rain. Standard roof rails make it easy to install a genuine Lexus roof accessory for additional storage space. 

Safety Technology

The NX 350h also comes with standard safety technology that makes city driving a breeze. A feature such as pedestrian detection can prevent accidents if a pedestrian unexpectedly crosses the road in front of your vehicle, while blind-spot alert helps avoid impacts during lane changes. A collision warning system can also prevent fender benders in difficult traffic situations. 

A hybrid like the NX 350h is perfect if you want to drive an eco-friendly vehicle to optimize fuel consumption in the city. Book a test drive at Lexus of Kingsport in Kingsport, TN.
