Few brands are as committed to quality and value as Lexus, and that commitment was recently recognized by U.S. News, which named the 2016 Lexus NX a 2016 Best Cars for the Money winner for the Luxury Compact SUV class.

The Lexus NX launched in 2015 and has quickly become one of the most sought-after Lexus models available. Its striking design has resonated with consumers who desire a vehicle that will stand out, while its exhilarating performance has garnered praise from drivers and automotive experts throughout the country.

That potent mix of style, comfort, and performance has served the NX well, earning the vehicle U.S. News’ Best Cars for the Money Award, which covers 23 automotive categories and highlights a single vehicle in each class that provides consumers with the very best combination of quality and value.

The 2016 Lexus NX can be equipped with an advanced turbocharged 2.0-liter engine and can be paired to either a front or all-wheel-drive system. While the turbocharged 2.0-liter is one of the most capable in its class, drivers seeking a good mix of fuel economy and performance are encouraged to check out the NX hybrid model.

Adding to the lineup's versatility is the performance-focused NX F Sport. The NX F Sport feature a bolder grille and more aggressive styling, bolstered sport seat, and other sporty touches such as drilled non-slip aluminum pedals and Active Sound Control, the latter of which augments the engine’s note for a throatier in-cabin experience.

Are you ready to treat yourself to a new Lexus? Perhaps the time is right to upgrade your existing vehicle to something more fun? If so, you may want to give the award-winning 2016 Lexus NX a look.
