1 - Four versions

We touched on this after the virtual presentation, but we come back to it because it's worth mentioning. The 2022 NX will come in four different versions, which tells us a lot about the company's intentions for its popular compact SUV.

We will be getting two gasoline versions - the 250 (2.5L naturally-aspirated 4-cylinder) and 350 (2.4L turbocharged 4-cylinder) - and two hybrid versions, the 350h and 450h+. The engine for those variants is a 2.5L 4-cylinder aided by two electric motors. In the case of the 450h, that aid will substantial enough that an actual electric range will be offered, as with the Toyota RAV4 Prime.
