Lexus NX build years & generations

Coverage 2014-present2 named generationsSUVHYBRID ELECTRIC

The Lexus NX spans several build years and named generations (2014-present). Match a build year to its generation, then see how each group of build years does at its MOT.

Build years & generations, side by side

Find the build years you're looking at and see which generation they are. You'll also see which group of build years the MOT figures come from.

“Figures from” is the group of build years behind each card's MOT figures. Years where one generation gave way to the next can sit in a wider group until there's enough history to split them.

How each group of build years performs

Each card shows MOT results for one group of Lexus NX build years. “Age” means the car's age on the day of its MOT, not its build year. “25+” groups every test on cars aged 25 or older.

A mix of Mk1 (AZ10) and Mk2 (AZ20)

These build years include both Mk1 (AZ10) and Mk2 (AZ20) cars, so the figures are less exact than for a single generation.
