Our take on the Lexus NX 300 H
A 2021 Lexus NX 300 H typically advertises at €38,950 and a 2016 one at €21,950, so it loses roughly 11% of its value a year at that age. It's sold here mainly as a petrol. At the NCT, the 2015–2021 cars do better than other cars the same year. The 2.5 hybrid is the most common engine (100% of those with a known engine), and it usually lasts around 400k km.
