Every 2020 Lexus NX is equipped with a good deal of useful features, plus one that aggravates us to no end. Overall, we rate the 2020 NX at 6 out of 10 for its features. (Read more about how we rate cars.) 

The 2020 NX comes in two basic flavors -- NX 300 and NX 300h -- that are largely equipped the same, although only the base version can be had with front-wheel drive. 

The lineup starts at about $38,000, which buys active safety tech, power-adjustable front seats wrapped in synthetic leather, an 8.0-inch display, power-folding exterior mirrors, and keyless ignition. 

Most NXs on dealer lots probably have either F Sport trim or Luxury trim, which add a few goodies and elevate the price. We think the Luxury trim is the smartest buy. For around $45,000, it nets leather upholstery, heated and cooled front seats, and a few more items, and it buys access to additional extra-cost options such as a surround-view camera system, a power liftgate, and Mark Levinson audio. 

The NX hybrid costs about $900 more than the base engine. 

The standard 8.0-inch screen is bright, and the optional 10.3-inch display is even better, but they’re both stuck with a controller that’s annoying at best. Apple CarPlay and Android Auto compatibility come standard. 

Lexus service comes in for kudos in terms of customer handling, but its 4-year/50,000-mile warranty is now just average among luxury cars.
