Which Lexus NX has leather seats?
Leather seats are available on the Lexus NX lineup, with genuine leather most commonly found on higher trims and synthetic leather (Nuluxe) on base models. Availability can vary by model year and market, so checking the specific configurator or window sticker is recommended.
Leather seating by trim: a general guide
Here is a general guide to where leather seating surfaces tend to appear in recent NX models. Availability can change with updates or regional packages.
- Base NX models (for example NX 250 or NX 350): Typically come with Nuluxe synthetic leather as standard; genuine leather seats are usually offered only with higher trims or as part of a package, depending on year and market.
- Mid-range and higher trims (such as NX 350 with Luxury or F SPORT): Genuine leather seating is commonly included or offered as a standard feature or part of a leather/interior package, depending on the year and market.
- Hybrid variants (NX 350h) and plug-in variants: Upholstery generally follows the same pattern as gasoline models—synthetic leather on base configurations and genuine leather on higher trims or with interior packages.
Note: Lexus uses the terms Nuluxe for its synthetic leather and Leather for genuine leather seating. Always verify the exact material on the window sticker or the official Lexus configuration for your model year and region.
How to confirm leather seating for a specific NX
To confirm whether a particular Lexus NX has leather seating, use the following steps when shopping or ordering:
- Consult the official Lexus build/configurator for your model year and market to see upholstery options.
- Check the window sticker (Monroney label) on the vehicle you test-drive or intend to purchase, which lists the upholstery and materials.
- Ask the dealer to confirm whether the specific trim includes genuine leather or synthetic leather, and whether leather is standard or optional.
- During a test drive, physically check the seat material and note the feel, stitching, and labeling (Nuluxe vs Leather) if visible.
Verifying upholstery before purchase helps ensure you get the leather seating configuration you want, as options can vary by year, market, and package.
Summary
Leather seating in the NX lineup is typically reserved for higher trims or interior packages, with Nuluxe on base configurations. For buyers seeking genuine leather, look to the Luxury or F SPORT trims or inquire about available interior upgrade options for the specific model year and region. Always verify using the official configurator or window sticker.
