REFINED, SPIRITED, PLUG-IN HYBRID PERFORMANCE, NO-ACCIDENT, ONE-OWNER, NONSMOKER, LUXURY WITHOUT COMPROMISE! The 2022 Lexus NX 450h F SPORT arrived as Lexus's first plug-in hybrid, and it remains one of the more interesting ways to step into the brand's compact luxury lineup. It pairs everyday livability with genuine electric-only commuting range, all wrapped in the athletic, driver-focused character that has made the F SPORT badge a favorite among Lexus enthusiasts. This particular example wears Ultrasonic Blue Mica paint over its F SPORT styling, and with just over 30,000 miles on the odometer, it presents as a well cared for, low-mileage example of Lexus's newest hybrid technology. Underneath the F SPORT badging sits Lexus's electronic all-wheel-drive system, which uses a dedicated rear electric motor rather than a traditional driveshaft to send power to the rear wheels the instant traction is needed. Owners appreciate the seamless, largely unnoticed way it works in the background, adding confidence in rain or light snow without ever calling attention to itself. WHY SHOPPERS BUY THIS MODEL The Lexus NX has long been one of the brand's best-selling models, and it earned that position by delivering exactly what compact luxury SUV buyers actually want: a comfortable, quiet ride, genuinely useful technology, and the long-term dependability Lexus is known for. It slots neatly beneath the larger RX while still feeling every bit as refined inside. With the 450h variant, Lexus extended that same reputation into plug-in hybrid territory. Rather than treating electrification as an afterthought, the NX 450h borrows its high-output hybrid architecture to deliver both genuine electric-only commuting capability and some of the quickest acceleration in the NX lineup, all while retaining the smooth, unhurried driving manners Lexus owners expect. It's a compelling case for buyers who want to explore electrification without giving up the flexibility of a gasoline engine for longer trips. AUTOMOTIVE PRESS AND INDUSTRY RECOGNITION Reviewers have consistently praised the redesigned NX generation for its quiet cabin, upgraded technology, and the added confidence its standard all-wheel-drive system brings to everyday driving. The NX 450h specifically drew attention for combining strong real-world efficiency with genuinely quick acceleration, a combination not many compact luxury SUVs can match.

STANDARD FEATURES The F SPORT trim gives this NX a noticeably sportier personality than a standard Luxury model, adding a firmer, more responsive suspension tune, quicker steering response, and paddle shifters that let the driver hold gears longer through corners. A dedicated Sport S drive mode sharpens throttle response and steering weight for a genuinely engaging back-road experience. Owners also get the F SPORT's distinct visual identity, including its unique grille treatment, sport-bolstered front seats, and aluminum-trimmed pedals, all of which reinforce that this is the performance-minded choice within the NX lineup. INSTALLED OPTIONS This NX was ordered with a thoughtful mix of factory options that add genuine everyday value beyond the standard F SPORT equipment list. Smart Phone Convenience Package Digital Key Lets the driver lock, unlock, and start the NX directly from a compatible smartphone, handy for sharing access without handing over a physical key. Wireless Charger Keeps a compatible phone topped off on the go without fumbling for a cable. Standalone Features Triple Beam LED Headlamps with Washers and Cornering Lamps Improves nighttime visibility and keeps the lenses clear in wet or salted-road conditions, with cornering lamps that illuminate the path through turns. 6.6-Kilowatt On-Board Charger Roughly doubles the standard charging speed, cutting a full 240-volt Level 2 charge down to about two and a half hours instead of nearly five. Premium Paint (Ultrasonic Blue Mica) A deeper, more dimensional finish than the standard color palette. Panoramic View Monitor, Lane Change Assist, and Front Cross-Traffic Alert Gives the driver a full 360-degree view around the vehicle for tight parking situations, plus added awareness when changing lanes or backing out of a busy driveway. Illuminated Door Sills A nice touch of after-dark polish every time the doors open. Rear Puddle Lamp / Side Puddle Lamp Lights the ground near the doors at night, a small but appreciated convenience. CHARGING, RANGE & ELECTRIFIED POWERTRAIN The NX 450h is EPA-estimated to travel up to 37 miles on electricity alone before the gasoline engine ever needs to switch on, enough for many owners to handle their daily commute without burning a drop of fuel. Once the battery is depleted, the NX simply behaves like any other efficient hybrid, so there's never any range anxiety on longer trips. Level 1 (120-Volt): With the factory-installed 6.6-kilowatt on-board charger, a full charge from a standard household outlet takes roughly 12 hours, making an overnight charge in the garage an easy habit to build. Level 2 (240-Volt): The same 6.6-kilowatt charger cuts a full charge on a 240-volt home or public charging station down to approximately two and a half hours, roughly half the time of the standard charger. MECHANICAL FEATURES The NX 450h pairs a 2.5-liter four-cylinder engine with a pair of electric motors and a lithium-ion battery pack for a combined output of around 304 horsepower, making it the quickest NX in the lineup with a 0-to-60 time of about six seconds. The continuously variable transmission keeps power delivery smooth whether accelerating from a stoplight or merging onto the highway. Lexus's electronic all-wheel-drive system uses a second electric motor to independently power the rear axle rather than a mechanical driveshaft, giving this NX confident, well-balanced traction in poor weather while also improving overall efficiency. EXTERIOR FEATURES This NX wears the bold, signature Lexus spindle grille alongside the F SPORT's more aggressive lower fascia and unique wheel design, giving it a noticeably sportier stance than a standard NX. The Triple Beam LED headlamps add a sharp, modern lighting signature up front, while the rear and side puddle lamps a
