Lexus NX

The Lexus NX brings this Japanese brand's penchant for upscale comfort to the compact luxury crossover class. Lexus's bold styling envelops a cabin that coddles despite the NX's small footprint. The ride is supple and quiet, and power delivery smooth; it's efficient, too, especially when you opt for the available hybrid powertrain. Compared with many competitors, especially those from Germany, the NX is a strong value.
