Lexus NX

The Lexus NX isn’t going to appeal to those looking for a punchy, lively drive or massive interior space, but if you value excellent fuel efficiency and rock-solid reliability, this is an interesting, left-field option. It is set up for those looking for a comfortable drive, as not only is the powertrain tuned to be very linear, but the ride and handling balance is also well judged and delivers a comfortable feel. This latest version also gets a much-needed tech upgrade, with a large and responsive touchscreen, among other features. Moreover, basic servicing needs can be carried out at most Toyota service centres, only adding to the hassle-free ownership experience.
