Vehicle Detail

SkillanNaylor Car Company are pleased to offer this 2019 Lexus NX300h 2.5 Sport Premium 5Dr Auto seen in Graphite Black Metallic with Black/Ivory Leather.

The Lexus NX300h is one of those cars that makes a great deal of sense in the real world, combining the comfort and refinement of a premium SUV with Toyota/Lexus hybrid know-how and the added reassurance of four-wheel drive. Finished in sophisticated Graphite Black and paired with a striking bi-colour Black/Ivory leather interior, this 2019 Lexus NX300h 2.5 Sport Premium looks suitably upmarket while offering the sort of specification, practicality and effortless driving experience that makes it an exceptionally easy car to live with.

Under the bonnet sits Lexus’ proven 2.5-litre petrol-electric self-charging hybrid powertrain, producing a combined 197 HP and driving through a smooth automatic transmission. Crucially, this is a non plug-in hybrid, meaning there are no charging cables, no wallboxes and none of the day-to-day ‘faff’ associated with remembering to plug the car in. Simply add petrol and drive; the hybrid system automatically manages the relationship between its petrol engine, electric motors and battery, recovering energy under braking and using electric assistance whenever conditions allow. Around town it can frequently move under electric power for short periods, while on longer journeys the petrol engine provides the range and convenience of a conventional car.

The NX300h also benefits from Lexus’ intelligent E-Four all-wheel-drive system, giving additional traction when conditions become slippery without the complexity of a conventional mechanical 4WD arrangement. That makes it particularly well suited to year-round Isle of Man motoring, whether dealing with wet winter roads, rural lanes or simply providing a little extra reassurance when the weather turns against you.

The Sport Premium specification adds plenty of desirable equipment, including heated front seats, a rear-view camera and smart 18-inch alloy wheels. Inside, the Black/Ivory bi-colour leather gives the cabin a considerably more distinctive and luxurious appearance than an all-black interior, while Lexus’ typically excellent build quality is evident throughout. The driving position is commanding and comfortable, rear-seat accommodation is generous and the five-door SUV body provides plenty of useful luggage space, making the NX equally convincing as a family car, commuter or long-distance cruiser.

With 197 HP, performance is strong enough to make the NX feel effortless without compromising the relaxed character that suits the car so well. Around town the electric assistance makes progress quiet and smooth, while out on the open road there is ample performance for overtaking and motorway driving. Lexus has deliberately prioritised refinement and ease of use rather than trying to turn the NX into an oversized sports car – and it is all the better for it.

Perhaps one of the biggest attractions of the NX300h is that it offers a very straightforward route into electrified motoring. There is no need to plan journeys around charging points and no change required to the way you use your car. You simply drive it like any conventional automatic and allow the hybrid system to do the work in the background. For someone who likes the idea of hybrid efficiency but isn't interested in plugging a car in every evening, it is an extremely compelling solution.

Finished in Graphite Black with Black/Ivory leather, equipped with four-wheel drive, heated seats, rear camera and 18-inch alloys, this NX300h Sport Premium combines genuine premium-SUV presence with Japanese engineering and refreshingly uncomplicated hybrid technology. Comfortable, practical, refined and reassuringly easy to own, it is a luxury SUV designed for people who want the benefits of electrification without the faff that can come with it.
