= Powertrains =
The first-generation NX is available in three powertrains; which are designated NX 200t/300, NX 300h, and NX 200.
The NX 200t/300 is powered by a 2.0-liter 8AR-FTS turbocharged four-cylinder direct injection engine that can run on both Otto and Atkinson cycles. This engine has Lexus' Economy with Superior Thermal Efficient Combustion (ESTEC) direct injection with turbo (D-4ST) fuel injection. With separate twin injectors for both direct and port injection, ESTEC D-4ST could perform high-pressure direct injection into the cylinder and conventional intake port injection, or direct cylinder injection only, according to engine speed. Mated to a 6-speed automatic transmission, this engine produces {{convert|175|kW|hp PS|abbr=on|0}} at 4,800–5,600 rpm and {{convert|350|Nm|lbft|abbr=on|0}} at 1,650–4,000 rpm. The NX200t name was used until the September 2017 facelift, after which the car was marketed as the NX 300 instead so as to unify marketing efforts with the 300h.
The NX 300h is powered by a 2.5-liter 2AR-FXE engine mated to an electric motor and CVT that puts out a combined power output of {{convert|145|kW|hp PS|abbr=on|0}}.
In addition, the NX 200 with a 2.0-liter 3ZR-FAE naturally-aspirated four-cylinder engine producing {{convert|110|kW|hp PS|abbr=on|0}} is available in the Russian market{{cite web |url=http://wroom.ru/en/news/2578 |title=Lexus NX crossover will cost from 1 448 000 rubles |date=30 August 2014 |website=Wroom.ru |access-date=2 September 2014 |archive-date=14 March 2016 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160314170204/http://wroom.ru/en/news/2578 |url-status=dead }} and in China.

The AZ20 second-generation Lexus NX is a completely new model underpinned by a new platform, the GA-K shared with the mechanically identical Toyota Venza/Harrier and the fifth-generation Toyota RAV4.
Revealed on 11 June 2021, the AZ20 is the first Lexus vehicle to be developed at the Shimoyama Technical Centre.{{cite news |url=https://www.drive.com.au/news/2022-lexus-nx-revealed-australian-launch-due-november-2021/ |title=2022 Lexus NX revealed, Australian launch due November 2021 |work=Drive |location=Australia |date=2021-06-12 |access-date=2023-09-01}} Its exterior dimensions were enlarged by {{convert|20|mm|in|1|abbr=on}} in length and width, while the {{convert|2690|mm|in|1|abbr=on}} wheelbase is {{convert|30|mm|in|1|abbr=on}} longer than before.
The NX incorporates Lexus' new design philosophy, which includes overlapping L shape daytime running lamps that were first introduced onto the RC and UX in 2018. 3-LED headlights are standard. According to Lexus, the hood section has been extended to the edge of the front end, while the grille surface has been raised vertically to create a visually longer front end, which also enables more efficient air flow and cooling.{{Cite web |date=2021-06-12 |title=2022 Lexus NX officially revealed - second-gen SUV gets PHEV, 2.4 Turbo; new rear logo, interior concept - paultan.org |url=https://paultan.org/2021/06/12/2022-lexus-nx-officially-revealed-second-gen-suv-gets-phev-2-4-turbo-new-rear-logo-interior-concept/ |access-date=2023-07-11 |website=Paul Tan's Automotive News |language=en-US}}
A first in a Lexus production model, the 'L' badge in the rear has been replaced by a spaced out Lexus logotype. This change was done last-minute during development, as a leaked marketing material video in February 2021 shows the vehicle using older 'L' rear badge.{{Cite web |last=Hilliard |first=Justin |date=2021-02-25 |title=2022 Lexus NX accidentally leaked!

The suspension consists of MacPherson struts in front and a trailing arm, double-wishbone design at the rear with extra tuning for the shock absorbers. The F Sport package comes with Adaptive Variable Suspension (AVS) as standard. Except for the plug-in hybrid model, the steering adopts Lexus’ first variable rack gear to improve high speed stability and quicker cornering response, in addition to easier low speed handling. NVH improvements was done, with Lexus claiming that the air flow and wind noise entering into the cabin has been reduced by around 15 percent.
F Sport models receive the driving modes: Normal, Eco, EV, Sport, Sport S+.{{cite web|url=https://www.carscoops.com/2021/12/europes-2022-lexus-nx-detailed-in-massive-photo-gallery-uk-pricing-revealed/|title=Europe's 2022 Lexus NX Detailed In Massive Photo Gallery, UK Pricing Revealed|first=Thanos|last=Pappas|date=December 10, 2021|website=CarScoops}}

At launch, models were equipped with a 9.8-inch screen, whereas higher-end models came equipped with a 14-inch screen. Apple CarPlay and Android Auto are standard and operate via wireless connection. Lexus Climate Concierge, Lexus Connected Services, and the "Hey Lexus" interface are all standard. A head-up display and wireless smartphone charging are both optional. 10-speaker stereo is standard and a 17-speaker Mark Levinson system is available on Luxury and Premium packages. Emergency braking with pedestrian detection, lane-keeping assist, and adaptive cruise control are all standard.{{cite web|url=https://www.caranddriver.com/lexus/nx-2022|title=2022 Lexus NX|website=Car and Driver|first=Drew|last=Dorian|date=27 September 2022 |access-date=September 1, 2023}}{{cite web|url=https://www.lexus.com.au/models/NX/overview|title=Lexus NX Overview|website=Lexus Australia}} The interior design was based on the 'tazuna' concept that was previewed by the LF-30 Electrified concept car. The word tazuna is derived from the “reins” used to control horses.
Remote connectivity features allow the driver to enable and disable features from their smartphone, such as air-conditioning and lighting. The air conditioning system utilises a deodorising and pollen removal clean-air filter. The Lexus Climate Concierge essentially identifies which seats are occupied based on the opening and closing of doors, and ventilates which seats are occupied.
Ambient lighting is available on F Sport and Sports Luxury models for Australia.
In 2023, for the 2024 model year, the NX 350h and NX 450h+ receive remote parking features, while the NX450h+ F Sport is now available with either a regular sunroof or a panoramic sunroof.{{cite news |last=Dorian |first=Drew |title=2024 Lexus NX |url=https://www.caranddriver.com/lexus/nx |access-date=2023-09-01 |work=Car and Driver |location=US}}
