AutoGuide wages the battle of the fuel-sipping crossovers: the Lexus NX 300h hybrid versus the BMW X3 xDrive28d diesel.

I made a discovery about the Lexus NX at the Texas Auto Writers Association’s 2015 Auto Roundup earlier this week: It’s a real hit here in the Lone Star State.

So you’ve got a new job with the government. You get a Lexus NX of your choice – whether it’s the 300h hybrid or the 200t – as your official work vehicle. Wait a minute. Why does your NX have those weird markings on it? Why’s that guy hooking up a yellow strap to your new ride? Uh oh…

You want to get a crossover and see what your neighbor is always bragging about. You also want to shut him up by bringing home one that’s fancier than his, so you’re either going to buy a Lexus NX200t F Sport or a Mercedes-Benz GLA250 4MATIC.

Finally, the hybrid compact crossover market has found its shot of espresso in the NX 300h.

None of this year’s Super Bowl commercials that focused on cars were real knee-slappers, but a few packed an emotional punch.

Jeremy Clarkson is a polarizing individual. You either love him or you hate him. But you really can’t ignore him. In his latest The Sunday Times review, he tackles the hybrid Lexus NX 300h Premier. I can see you already thinking, “he’s going to hate it.” But really, he doesn’t.
