Is the Lexus NX an SUV?

I saw a Lexus NX on the street the other day, and I was shocked when someone told me it was an SUV. It seems very low-slung. Is the Lexus NX considered an SUV?

Yes, the Lexus NX is a luxury compact SUV. With the rise in popularity of crossover sport utility vehicles, it can sometimes be difficult to tell the difference between a ute and a sedan today. An SUV is loosely defined as a light, truck-like vehicle with four-wheel drive and off-road capabilities.
The NX takes its place near the bottom of the price list in Lexus’ extensive line of SUVs. Here’s a look at the starting prices of all the SUVs on offer by the Japanese luxury carmaker:
  • Lexus UX Hybrid: $35,925
  • Lexus NX: $39,500
  • Lexus NX Hybrid: $42,700
  • Lexus NX Plug-in Hybrid EV: $57,300
  • Lexus RX
    : $47,070
  • Lexus RX Hybrid: $49,870
  • Lexus GX
    : $57,575
  • Lexus LX
    : $88,245
While the NX is among the cheaper Lexus SUVs in the garage, your
Lexus NX car insurance costs
will likely be higher than other mass-market SUVs. That’s because the cost of repairs is higher for luxury vehicles, so insurance companies tend to raise rates to offset expensive luxury car claims.
