Lexus India today announced the price of its newly launched NX 300h hybrid SUV which will retail at an initial price starting from Rs. 53.18 lakh (ex-showroom India). The company had announced the launch of the new Lexus NX 300h last month on November 17, 2017, but, back then, it did not reveal the price of the car. In fact, the company has launched the new Lexus NX 300h at a much lesser price than we had expected. The SUV will be offered in two variants - the regular NX 300h and the sportier NX 300h F-Sport that comes with a price tag of Rs. 55.58 lakh (ex-showroom, India). However, deliveries for the car will only commence next year, from March 2018.
