Lexus NX
While not quite as popular as some of its German rivals in the compact luxury SUV segment, the Lexus NX still brings a lot to the table. Its selection of four-cylinder powertrains is diversified, with gasoline, hybrid and plug-in hybrid options to choose from. The latter is reserved for the NX 450h+, which serves up 304 hp and enables a pure electric range of 60 km. The NX further stands out with a smooth ride, but cargo space is limited. The larger RX offers a roomier interior.
