Hi Geraldine,

Irish and UK specifications for the NX 300h are both five strong – here, they run S-design, Sport, Executive, F Sport and then Premium, while in the UK they are SE, Luxury, Sport, F Sport and then F Sport with Premier Pack. In the UK, the trims are independent of whether the NX is two- or four-wheel drive, whereas in Ireland all S-design and Sport models are front-wheel drive, all F Sport and Premium models are four-wheel drive and only on the Executive trim grade is there a choice between the two.

UK and Irish trims are broadly analogous, so a UK SE is similar to an Irish S-design, but there are some crucial differences – for instance, no UK model rides on anything smaller than 18-inch alloy wheels, whereas our S-design sits on 17s, while all UK NX models gain the 10.3-inch infotainment display and full Lexus Premium Navigation, whereas you need to start at Sport level here in Ireland to get the same luxuries. Once you’re at Sport level and above, it’s broadly all the same stuff fitted to the ascending NX trim grades, from one country to the other.
