* Based on opinions and should be considered as general guidance only.

  • Reliability (5)
    5 out of 5 stars
    Lexus has an excellent reputation for reliability, and the 2018 NX 300 is no exception. Owners generally report very few mechanical issues, and the vehicle is built to last. This makes it a dependable choice for long-term ownership.
  • Maintenance (4)
    4 out of 5 stars
    Routine maintenance costs for the Lexus NX 300 are generally reasonable for a luxury brand. Parts are readily available, and Lexus dealerships are known for their quality service. It's not as inexpensive as a non-luxury brand, but it's competitive within its segment.
  • Technology (3)
    3 out of 5 stars
    While the NX 300 comes with a decent array of standard tech features, the infotainment system's Remote Touch interface is clunky and distracting to use while driving. Apple CarPlay and Android Auto were not standard in this model year, which is a notable omission compared to competitors.
  • Comfort (4)
    4 out of 5 stars
    Comfort is a strong suit for the NX 300. The cabin is well-insulated from road and wind noise, providing a serene environment. The seats are supportive and comfortable, making long journeys pleasant. The ride quality is generally smooth, absorbing most road imperfections effectively.
  • Dynamics (3)
    3 out of 5 stars
    The 2018 Lexus NX 300 Base offers a competent but uninspiring driving experience. The handling is secure and predictable, but it lacks the sporty engagement found in some rivals. The turbocharged engine provides adequate power for daily driving, though it can feel a bit strained when pushed hard.

2018 Lexus NX 300: A Refined Compact Luxury SUV

The 2018 Lexus NX 300, formerly known as the NX 200t, represents Lexus's stylish and comfortable entry into the highly competitive compact luxury SUV segment. It aims to blend everyday practicality with a premium feel and a healthy dose of modern technology.

Highlights

  • Engine: The NX 300 is powered by a 2.0-liter turbocharged inline-four engine, delivering a respectable 235 horsepower and 258 lb-ft of torque. This engine is paired with a six-speed automatic transmission, providing smooth and responsive power delivery. The engine is known for its quiet operation and adequate performance for daily driving and highway cruising. All-wheel drive (AWD) is standard on all 2018 NX 300 models, enhancing traction and stability in various weather conditions.

  • Safety Features: Lexus prioritizes safety, and the 2018 NX 300 comes equipped with a comprehensive suite of active and passive safety technologies. Standard features include:

    • Lexus Safety System+: This advanced suite includes:
      • Pre-Collision System with Pedestrian Detection: Uses radar and cameras to detect potential frontal collisions and can automatically apply the brakes to mitigate or avoid impact.
      • Dynamic Radar Cruise Control: Maintains a set speed and distance from the vehicle ahead, automatically adjusting speed to keep pace.
      • Lane Departure Alert with Steering Assist: Warns the driver if the vehicle begins to drift out of its lane and can provide gentle steering correction.
      • Intelligent High Beams: Automatically switches between high and low beams based on surrounding traffic conditions.
    • Backup Camera: Provides a clear view of the area behind the vehicle when reversing.
    • Eight Airbags: Including front, side, curtain, and knee airbags for enhanced occupant protection.
    • Advanced Traction and Stability Control: Helps prevent skidding and maintain control during challenging driving situations.
  • Trims: The 2018 Lexus NX 300 is primarily offered in a single, well-equipped trim level, but can be enhanced with several notable option packages that effectively create distinct variations:

    • NX 300 (Standard): Offers a strong foundation of luxury and technology.
    • NX 300 F SPORT: This is the sport-oriented trim. It visually distinguishes itself with a more aggressive front fascia, unique grille design, sport-tuned suspension, and sport seats with enhanced bolstering. Interior appointments also receive a sportier treatment.
    • Luxury Package: Adds features like perforated leather-trimmed seating, heated and ventilated front seats, and a power tilt-and-telescopic steering wheel for enhanced comfort and convenience.
    • Navigation Package: Includes an 8-inch Lexus Enform Display infotainment system with navigation, voice command, and smartphone integration capabilities.
  • Other Notable Aspects:

    • Stylish Exterior Design: The NX 300 features Lexus's distinctive spindle grille and sharp, modern styling that sets it apart from many competitors.
    • Comfortable and Quiet Cabin: The interior is exceptionally quiet and well-built, showcasing high-quality materials and excellent craftsmanship.
    • User-Friendly Infotainment (with Navigation): While the base infotainment system can be a bit dated, the optional navigation system with the larger screen offers a more intuitive and feature-rich experience.
    • Impressive Resale Value: Lexus vehicles are generally known for holding their value well, and the NX 300 is no exception.

What to Expect

A typical ownership experience with the 2018 Lexus NX 300 is characterized by reliability and refinement. Lexus has a strong reputation for building durable vehicles, and the NX 300 is generally expected to be low-maintenance. Routine maintenance, such as oil changes, tire rotations, and filter replacements, will be standard.

  • Maintenance: Expect scheduled maintenance intervals to be typical for luxury vehicles, with an emphasis on quality fluids and parts. Lexus dealerships offer premium service, but independent mechanics familiar with the brand can also perform maintenance. Overall, maintenance costs are generally considered reasonable for a luxury vehicle.

  • Insurance: Insurance premiums for the 2018 NX 300 will likely fall within the average range for compact luxury SUVs. Factors like your driving history, location, and chosen coverage levels will significantly impact the final cost. The vehicle's safety features and Lexus's reputation for reliability may contribute to slightly lower insurance premiums compared to less safe or less reliable competitors.

Potential Considerations

While the 2018 Lexus NX 300 offers a compelling package, there are a few aspects potential buyers should be aware of:

  • Infotainment Controller: The Remote Touch controller for the infotainment system, especially the older touchpad iteration, can be less intuitive and more distracting than touchscreen interfaces found in some rivals. While the optional navigation system improves usability, it's a point of contention for some users.

  • Rear Seat and Cargo Space: Compared to some of its more boxy rivals, the NX 300's rear passenger legroom and overall cargo volume can be somewhat limited. While adequate for daily use, families with older children or those who frequently haul large items might find it less accommodating than other compact SUVs.

  • Engine Power: While the 2.0-liter turbo engine is smooth and efficient, its 235 horsepower may feel a bit underpowered for those seeking a truly sporty driving experience. It's competent for daily commuting but won't offer the exhilarating acceleration of some more performance-oriented competitors.

  • Ride Comfort (F SPORT): While the F SPORT trim enhances handling, the sport-tuned suspension can result in a slightly firmer ride compared to the standard NX 300. This is a trade-off for improved agility.

Overall Summary

The 2018 Lexus NX 300 is a sensible and stylish choice for buyers seeking a compact luxury SUV that prioritizes comfort, safety, and reliability. Its refined interior, quiet ride, and comprehensive safety features make it an excellent daily driver. While its infotainment controller and rear-seat space might not be class-leading, its overall quality and the strength of the Lexus brand make it a compelling option in its segment, particularly for those who value a premium ownership experience and a vehicle known for its longevity.
