All-wheel drive is standard, and the seats are described as adult-friendly. With an estimated fuel economy rating of 84 MPGe or 36 mpg, the 2022 Lexus NX PHEV checks all of the boxes. It also snagged the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety Top Safety Pick Plus award, which means it performed well on all crash tests.
