Used Lexus NX for sale in Europe

About the Lexus NX

The Lexus NX is a compact premium SUV that sits below the RX in the Lexus range. It has been sold in two generations since 2014. It suits buyers who want a well-equipped five-door car with a quiet cabin and a choice between petrol and electrified drivetrains.

The first generation was offered with a turbocharged 2.0-litre petrol engine and a 2.5-litre petrol hybrid. Front-wheel drive and all-wheel drive were both available, depending on engine and market. Hybrids use an automatic e-CVT-type transmission. Petrol models use a conventional automatic.

The second generation arrived in 2021 with a new platform and updated interior technology. In Europe it centres on a 2.5-litre hybrid and a plug-in hybrid. Our listings also include some LPG cars, which are normally aftermarket conversions, so check their paperwork.

Generations

• First generation, AZ10 (2014-2021) — Launched with a turbocharged 2.0-litre petrol and a 2.5-litre hybrid, and updated around 2017.
• Second generation, AZ20 (2021-present) — Built on a newer platform, with a 2.5-litre hybrid and a plug-in hybrid that has an 18.1 kWh battery.

Typical prices

Asking prices in our listings rise steadily with model year. A 2016 car has a median asking price of €20,600, and a 2021 car has €29,900. The step to 2022 is much larger, at a median of €43,000, which coincides with the arrival of the second generation. Cars from 2026 have a median of €58,900. Within each year the gap between lower and upper quartiles is fairly narrow, so trim level, drivetrain and mileage explain much of the remaining difference. These are asking prices in our listings on 2026-11-10, not a valuation.

What to check when buying a used Lexus NX

Ask for the full service history and see the car in daylight. Check that every warning light goes out after start-up, then test the car cold and at motorway speed.

• Service history and recalls

  Look for regular servicing, ideally by a Lexus or Toyota-network workshop. Ask whether any open recall or software campaign has been carried out. A registration check with an authorised dealer can confirm this.

• Hybrid system health · Hybrid versions

  Check that the hybrid warning lights stay off and that the car switches smoothly between electric and petrol running. Ask whether the hybrid battery has ever been inspected or replaced, and request any workshop report.

• Turbo petrol engine · First generation petrol (2.0 turbo)

  Listen for unusual noises on a cold start and check for smoke under load. Look for oil leaks and confirm that servicing was done on time, as turbocharged engines are sensitive to oil condition.

• Charging equipment · Plug-in hybrid

  Inspect the charging port for damage or corrosion. Check that the original cable is included and charges normally. Ask how the owner used the car, since regular charging and hybrid-only use affect wear differently.

• Drivetrain and tyres · All-wheel drive versions

  Check that all four tyres are matched and wear evenly. Uneven wear can point to alignment problems or drivetrain faults. Listen for rear-axle noise or vibration when pulling away and turning.

• Infotainment and electronics

  Test the screen, touchpad or touchscreen, camera, parking sensors and driver-assistance features. Make sure phone connection and navigation work. Replacing faulty electronics can be costly, so confirm everything responds as it should.

• LPG conversion papers · LPG-converted cars

  Ask for the conversion certificate, installer details and tank inspection records. Check that the car runs normally on both fuels and that the conversion is accepted for registration in the country where you plan to use it.
