Beyond the new paint color, the 2025 NX also sees the inclusion of several additional standard features across various trims. Notably, these enhancements encompass rain-sensing wipers, a convenient power liftgate, and intuitive parking assist with automatic braking. Moreover, the Luxury grade now offers the option of a new Macadamia interior, further diversifying the customization possibilities for buyers.
Complementing these revisions are the inclusion of two USB Type-C ports in the front center console, catering to modern connectivity needs. Furthermore, all trims now come equipped with a wireless smartphone charger, ensuring convenient charging on the go.
While these updates may appear modest, the entry-level NX model boasts a generous array of standard equipment. NuLuxe upholstery, heated front seats, and a leather-wrapped steering wheel enhance comfort and luxury. The 9.8-inch infotainment system, paired with a 10-speaker audio system, delivers a sophisticated entertainment experience. Additionally, 18-inch wheels contribute to the NX's stylish exterior appeal.
Under the hood, buyers have a choice of four distinct powertrain options. The lineup includes a 2.5-liter four-cylinder engine generating 203 hp and 249 Nm of torque, as well as a turbocharged 2.4-liter engine delivering 275 hp and 429 Nm of torque.
For those inclined towards hybrid technology, the NX 350h features a 2.5-liter four-cylinder engine, coupled with a twin-motor hybrid system and a rear-mounted electric motor. This configuration not only yields 240 hp but also achieves an impressive combined fuel economy rating of 39 mpg.
Elevating the hybrid experience further, the NX 450h+ plug-in hybrid variant introduces a larger lithium-ion battery and an upgraded powertrain. As a result, drivers can enjoy a robust 304 hp output and an electric-only range of 60 km, offering enhanced efficiency and environmental sustainability.
