Model & Year Overview

Lexus NX 350h 2022

The 2022 NX 350h reintroduced a self-charging hybrid to the NX lineup as part of the third-generation platform launch. A 2.5-litre Atkinson-cycle four-cylinder combines with front and rear electric motors to produce a system output of 239 horsepower, with AWD delivered mechanically by the rear motor — no rear driveshaft required. Fuel consumption in combined Canadian conditions regularly falls between 6.5 and 7.5 L/100 km, a compelling improvement over the NX 350's conventional powertrain. The transition between electric and combustion operation is near seamless at city speeds. Lexus Hybrid Drive's well-established reliability record — now spanning two decades of production — reassures buyers concerned about hybrid battery longevity in cold Prairie winters. The 14-inch touchscreen and interior design are shared with the NX 350; the hybrid powertrain is the principal differentiation. The CVT-like e-CVT transmission provides smooth, uninterrupted acceleration without discrete gear changes — an acquired preference for some buyers accustomed to traditional automatics.

Frequently Asked Questions

01

What are the performance and fuel economy figures for the 2022 Lexus NX 350h in Canada?

The 2022 Lexus NX 350h debuts as part of the all-new second generation NX, combining a 2.5L naturally aspirated 4-cylinder with a fifth-generation self-charging hybrid system for a total system output of 239 hp. The E-Four AWD system uses a rear-axle electric motor that operates independently without a mechanical driveshaft — an advantage for long-term reliability. Natural Resources Canada rates combined fuel consumption at approximately 6.1 L/100 km, compared to roughly 9.7 L/100 km for a comparable non-hybrid luxury compact SUV. The sprint from 0 to 100 km/h takes approximately 7.3 seconds. MSRP in Canada started at approximately $50,900 for the NX 350h AWD Standard trim, with the Luxury AWD reaching approximately $64,000 well-equipped. Compared to the outgoing NX 300h (184 hp), the 2022 NX 350h gains 55 hp while maintaining similar fuel efficiency. On the Montreal-Quebec City run (approximately 250 km), the fuel saving versus a gasoline-only compact SUV represents a difference of roughly $12 to $15 per trip at $1.80/L for regular gasoline.

02

What are the key improvements of the all-new second-generation 2022 Lexus NX 350h over the outgoing model?

The 2022 Lexus NX represents the most comprehensive redesign since the nameplate launched in 2014. For the NX 350h specifically, the major changes include: an entirely new TNGA-K platform offering significantly improved structural rigidity and more responsive handling dynamics; a new fifth-generation hybrid powertrain (239 hp vs 184 hp in the outgoing NX 300h); a fully redesigned interior featuring a 14-inch touchscreen — the largest in its class at launch — or 9.8-inch depending on trim; the replacement of the Remote Touch haptic trackpad with a genuine touchscreen interface, eliminating a long-standing customer complaint; wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto as standard equipment; a redesigned multimedia system with improved ergonomics and response times; and a sharper exterior design featuring a three-dimensional spindle grille. The hybrid battery is now positioned under the rear seats rather than in the cargo floor, recovering approximately 50 litres of cargo volume. The 2022 NX 350h represents a true generational leap that fully justifies the upgrade for owners of first-generation models.

03

How reliable is the 2022 Lexus NX 350h for long-term ownership in Canada?

The 2022 Lexus NX 350h presents a very reassuring long-term reliability profile for Canadian owners, even as an all-new generation vehicle. The Lexus/Toyota self-charging hybrid technology is among the most proven in the world, with over 25 years of development tracing back to the original Prius. Toyota-Lexus hybrid powertrains consistently show very low failure rates in long-term reliability studies from Consumer Reports and J.D. Power. The new-generation NiMH hybrid battery (with lithium-ion optional on some trims) is covered by a dedicated 8-year/160,000 km warranty. The NX 350h's brakes experience reduced wear compared to conventional vehicles due to regenerative braking during deceleration, lowering pad replacement frequency. Lexus Canada's Complimentary Maintenance program covers the first 2 years/32,000 km of scheduled service at no charge; annual ownership costs beyond that are estimated between $700 and $1,200 for an NX 350h at 20,000 km/year. The only reasonable caution when buying a first-year production vehicle is monitoring for technical service bulletins — Lexus dealers address these under warranty as a matter of routine.
