Unless the NX 300 F Sport's adjustable suspension and tighter seat bolstering are must-haves, we recommend sticking with the more comfortable NX 300.

PROS Generous backseat room Available power-folding rear seat Cabin is very quiet at highway speeds
CONS Remote Touch Interface can be distracting to use Limited rear cargo volume
