What it is: The NX is the second smallest of the five-member Lexus SUV family, and for all intents and purposes the Lexus version of the Toyota RAV4. The vehicle dimensions are almost identical, but the Lexus is 1 inch wider and 3 inches shorter. This is not simply a new badge thrown on an existing car, in fact the NX was released a few years before the new RAV4 came out. The NX was first introduced as a 2015 model and it comes with two engine choices: a turbocharged 2.0-liter four-cylinder with 235 horsepower and 258 lb-ft of torque and a 2.5-liter hybrid that gets 31 MPG combined driving.
