2015 Lexus NX transmission: CVT or automatic?
Some do: the 2.0L 4-cylinder turbo uses a 6-speed automatic; the 2.5L 4-cylinder hybrid uses a CVT (continuously variable, 6 simulated steps).
Key takeaways
- 4 EPA-certified configurations listed for the 2015 Lexus NX.
- CVTs need CVT-specific fluid - never top one up with ordinary automatic transmission fluid.
- The transmission can differ by engine and drive layout, so match your row by engine size.
