The Lexus 2.0 L turbocharged engine with Dual VVT-i is capable of cranking out 235 hp and 258 lb-ft of torque, while delivering multiple levels of performance.

The driver of the NX takes command of the road with the sport-tuned suspension. The aluminum sport pedals, Adaptive Variable Suspension, drive mode selector, and wheel-mounted paddle shifter let you feel the full character of the turbo engine. The 6-speed automatic Super Electronically Controlled Transmission (ECT) adds to the sporty feel and fuel efficiency of the vehicle.

Unlike some manufacturers who farm out their turbo research, Lexus engineers do their own development and refining.

You get a splendid engine with the turbo NX that provides a fuel economy of 22 mpg city and 28 mpg highway. Actually, I averaged over 30 mpg for my week’s driving.
