So, when it comes to value, the hybrid and the turbo could work out to be pretty similar. But if you enjoy the task (or is it the "art") of driving, there's only one version to look at, and it ain't the hybrid
Lexus NX hybrid a winner despite a couple of annoyances
The good news is that my favourite Lexus has received some tweaking for 2018, and the Japanese luxury brand has wisely refrained from messing too much with the successful NX SUV/crossover.
The bad news is that doesn't mean there's nothing to whine about, which comes in handy for a reviewer who doesn't want to seem overly hyperbolic about a vehicle. And in this case, one of my complaints is easy enough to correct: buy the turbo gas engine version rather than the hybrid, with its whiny continuously variable transmission.
