The 2018 Lexus NX: before you buy
We are a rental company, not a dealer, so there is no 2018 Lexus NX for sale by us right now. Here is what to know about the 2018 Lexus NX before buying one.
What to check on the NX
NHTSA lists 1 recall campaigns for this model; ask the seller for proof each one was fixed. A pre-purchase inspection at a shop you choose is money well spent. Look at the tires, brakes and battery; they are costly to replace. Owners filed 26 complaints with NHTSA, most often about fuel/propulsion system, service brakes and engine; have those parts checked.
What the specs mean
Under the hood: the 2.5L 4-cylinder hybrid and all-wheel drive. As a hybrid, it does best in stop-and-go traffic, where the electric motor does more of the work. All-wheel drive sends power to all four wheels, which helps on snow and wet roads; good tires still matter most.
A combined rating of 7.5 L/100 km works out to about 23 litres per 300 km. At our price setting, driving 100 km costs about $11.63, and a 300 km weekend about $34.89. At US fuel prices, the EPA estimates US$2,150 a year for 15,000 miles.
The NX in everyday use
It offers the space of an SUV with the height that makes loading easy.
Who it is for
It suits people curious about the model who want to drive it before they buy. Families, skiers and anyone with bulky luggage.
Try before you buy
A test week in the NX tells you more than any review. Rent the NX for a week and see how it fits your life. If it is in our fleet, rent it; if not, a similar car gives you a feel for the class.
Running costs
A 1,000 km month costs roughly $116.30 at our price setting. The EPA estimates US$2,150 a year in fuel for 15,000 miles at US prices. At our price setting, 100 km costs about $11.63 in fuel.
Picking a year and a trim
Look at a few listings of the same year and trim to get a feel for fair prices. Decide what matters most first: fuel use, space, or the price you can pay. A newer year is not always better; check what changed before paying more for it.
Still deciding?
Ask about renting first, and buy with a clear head.
Rent it for a week before you buy
A week of your own driving tells you more than a test drive: the commute, the parking, the fuel. Rent a 2018 Lexus NX from us first.
