2027 Lexus NX 350h F Sport Introduces Revised Hybrid System
Lexus has unveiled the 2027 Lexus NX 350h F Sport, introducing revised exterior styling, upgraded hybrid technology and chassis improvements to its compact luxury crossover.
The updated NX range moves entirely to electrified powertrains, comprising the NX 350h hybrid and NX 450h+ plug-in hybrid.
For the NX 350h F Sport, the changes extend beyond appearance. Standard all-wheel drive, revised suspension tuning and a more responsive hybrid system form part of the update.
New Front Design and F Sport Aerodynamics
The 2027 NX receives a redesigned mesh grille, with headlights incorporating a dual-line signature for the daytime running lights and turn indicators.
F Sport versions add exclusive front under spoilers, side pontoons and rear corner aerodynamic devices.
Piano Black finishes appear on the roof side rails, roof spoiler and rocker panels, replacing the lighter exterior accents seen on other configurations.
At the rear, the new Double L Signature taillights are accompanied by an illuminated Lexus emblem.
The F Sport colour palette also introduces Incognito, offered exclusively on this grade.
20 Inch Wheels and Adaptive Suspension
The NX 350h F Sport retains the crossover's established silhouette, with its wide stance emphasised by revised exterior detailing.
Exclusive lightweight, high-rigidity 20-inch aluminium wheels distinguish the model, while red brake calipers are available.
F Sport also receives Adaptive Variable Suspension, a feature reserved for this grade.
Lexus has reinforced the front and rear body structure, introduced a new floor cross member and redesigned the suspension towers.
Steering revisions include a smaller 14.2-inch steering wheel and variable-ratio steering hardware.
Redesigned Interior With 14 Inch Touchscreen
Inside, the F Sport features an all-black instrument panel with contrast stitching.
A 12.3-inch digital instrument cluster sits alongside the standard 14-inch Lexus Interface touchscreen.
The redesigned steering wheel carries horizontal Lexus lettering, while translucent climate controls are integrated into the dashboard.
Radiant Red joins the upholstery options exclusively for F Sport.
Sensory Concierge is standard, coordinating cabin lighting, audio, climate, seat temperature and fragrance across three selectable modes.
Updated 244 HP Hybrid With E Four AWD
The NX 350h combines a revised 2.5-litre petrol engine with electric motors and updated power electronics.
Preliminary combined output reaches 244 hp, four horsepower more than before.
Its front motor develops 160 hp, while the rear electric motor produces 54 hp.
E-Four all-wheel drive is standard, with revised controls enabling continuous AWD operation during straight-line driving.
Lexus estimates combined fuel economy at 38 mpg for the F Sport, pending final EPA certification.
Availability and Market Positioning
The NX 350h F Sport sits alongside Premium, Premium+ and Luxury grades in the 2027 hybrid lineup.
Lexus Safety System+ 4.0 is standard, bringing updated collision avoidance and driver-assistance functions.
Production of the NX 350h takes place in Canada and Japan.
