NX 350h vs RX 350h: Which Hybrid Model Do You Choose?

The future of motoring is changing as we become more focused on finding greener, more sustainable ways of moving from point A to point B. Hybrid cars are going to play a major role in this. At the forefront of hybrid development is Lexus, which has some of the most luxurious hybrid cars on offer today.

The Lexus NX 350h and the Lexus RX 350h are both highly efficient hybrid cars, delivering outstanding performance, lower emissions, and all-round practicality, with absolutely no compromise on quality or luxury. But which one do you choose?

At Al-Futtaim Lexus, we sell both models, with new and Pre-Owned examples available to suit all budgets. Let’s take a look at each of these exceptional hybrid cars and help you make that final choice between the NX 350h and the RX 350h.

The Lexus NX 350h

One look at the sublime Lexus NX 350h, and you know instantly that this is a very special car. Inspired by Beauty is its moniker, and it's easy to see why. Those flowing, aerodynamic lines, the dominating pinched grille and the sleek profile all speak of a car that cuts easily through the air and makes light work of bends or corners. The NXh is the hybrid cousin of the Lexus NX and is the most advanced NX ever. The emphasis is on a personalised driving experience by combining state-of-the-art technology with a dynamic powertrain. The result is a real 'driver's car' that excites and inspires.

At its heart is a 2.5Ltr engine combined with a lithium-ion battery. Balancing performance and efficiency in perfect harmony, the hybrid engine ensures you produce zero emissions around town, yet has the ‘legs’ to tackle longer journeys with ease. This self-charging hybrid uses an 8-speed Direct Shift Continuously Variable Transmission to keep fuel consumption down to 21.5km/Ltr, making it one of the most fuel-efficient Lexus cars on the road.

The Lexus RX 350h

 The RX has proven to be a perennial favourite among discerning motorists. Giving you that spine-tingling performance and authentic driver experience, it's also a smart, dynamic and practical choice for families. Its spacious cabin is exquisitely comfortable for passengers, with plenty of legroom and headroom. The Lexus RX 350h has a driver-focused cockpit, where every control is at your fingertips, embellished with hand-crafted materials, and flawlessly finished to the highest standards.

Power-wise, the Lexus RX 350h and the Lexus NX 350h are evenly matched. The RX 350h also has the same 2.5Ltr engine combined with a lithium-ion battery. With 246Hp at your disposal, the RX 350h is a powerful performer with exceptional fuel efficiency, too.

So which do you choose? The best way to find out if you prefer the RX 350h or the NX 350his to take them for a test drive. They’re both evenly matched when it comes to performance, but what it will ultimately boil down to is how each one makes you feel.
