The quickest Lexus NX on record is the 2022 Lexus NX NX 450h+ F Sport PHEV, which runs 0–60 mph in 5.5 seconds and clears the quarter-mile in 14.10 seconds at 99.4 mph.
The slowest recorded Lexus NX is the 2016 Lexus NX NX 300h Hybrid, which takes 8.8 seconds to reach 60 mph and runs 16.80 seconds in the quarter.
Averaged across all 17 verified runs, a Lexus NX reaches 60 mph in 7.28 seconds and completes the quarter-mile in 15.56 seconds at roughly 90.2 mph.
We have verified test data for 6 model years. Each year shows every recorded run, the publication that measured it, and the trim-level details.
Every figure is sourced from published road tests by Car and Driver, Motor Trend and Motor Week. We don't use manufacturer claims — only independently timed runs — so the numbers reflect what the car actually does.
0–60 and quarter-mile results depend on driver technique, ambient temperature, tire condition, road surface, altitude, and testing instrumentation. A published figure is a single sample, not an absolute — which is why we show the range of verified runs rather than one number.

0–60 and quarter-mile times vary with driver, weather, tire temperature, and wear. We collect every verified run we can find — so you see the range of what a Lexus NX can do, not a single marketing claim.
