Used Lexus NX: the years to buy and the years to skip
Every Lexus NX from 2015 to 2025, across 2 generations: what each year typically sells for (about $18,500 to $46,500), its crash rating, and whether it's a year to target or skip. The best bets are 2015–2025.

Worth knowing

The trim we'd park in our garage
Look for the NX 350h or an NX 350 Premium: the hybrid brings strong mileage with AWD, and Premium trims add heated and ventilated seats and a sunroof.
