Review: 2021 Lexus NX 300

Several refining tweaks have been made in an effort to continue improving the 2021 Lexus NX 300 five-passenger compact SUV. For starters, the petite luxury vehicle gets Nori Green Pearl as a new paint color option, a steering wheel upgrade includes a horn pad change, and the tachometer gets a red zone modification. Equipment that now comes standard includes power-folding auto-dimming reverse tilt mirrors as well as additional safety features including blind spot monitoring and rear cross traffic alert. With a comfortable and quiet cabin atmosphere and suitably maneuverable driving dynamic, this 235-horsepower subcompact proves that very good things come in small packages.
