THE ALL-NEW LEXUS NX
EXCLUSIVE PEDIGREE
The new Lexus NX replaces a model that has sold more than 170,000 units since its introduction in 2014. To build on this achievement, Lexus has carried out a total reinvention. Ambition and commitment are demonstrated in big advances in performance, handling and efficiency, and in a staggering 95% of the vehicle’s parts being new. Digital modelling and computer techniques have been applied for smarter engineering that can achieve a higher level of quality assurance. Takumi-led skills of the human hand, ear and eye remain essential to achieving the highest sensory quality.

TESTED FOR QUALITY
Professional racing drivers were used to help hone the car’s dynamic performance – particularly steering and braking – in track testing at Lexus’ Shimoyama facility. There was also a focus on early adoption of new technologies for safety and comfort, while containing costs to ensure affordability for customers.

EVOLUTION OF DESIGN
The new model advances the avant-garde appeal of the original NX, but also presents a more sophisticated, dynamic and mature appearance and a more muscular character. Functional beauty is evident in details produced in collaboration between the NX’s designers and performance engineers to control airflow over and under the body, such as flush side mouldings and a new engine undercover design.

FEEL MORE CONTROL
The new Lexus NX marks the first application of the Tazuna concept for the driver’s cockpit design. Taken from a Japanese word describing a rider’s control of their horse using the reins, it focuses on giving the driver direct, intuitive control of the vehicle, following the principle of ‘hands on the wheel, eyes on the road’. It makes the driver feel confident and in control of their vehicle and surroundings.
“The new NX is designed to meet the diverse lifestyles of customers around the world with a complete renewal of its key strengths, including electrification, design, driving performance and advanced technologies.”
Chief Engineer, Takeaki Kato

THE LEXUS DRIVING SIGNATURE
The new Lexus NX’s dynamic performance is focused on delivering the Lexus Driving Signature – an ideal combination of ride comfort with steering, throttle and braking performance that is faithful to the driver’s intentions at every moment, generating confidence and a rewarding sense of connection with the car. Central to achieving this is the use of Lexus’ Global Architecture K (GA-K) platform which enables a lower centre of gravity.

MORE CONNECTED

The new multimedia system in the Lexus NX uses an impressive 14-inch display.

ADVANCED SAFETY AND DRIVER ASSISTANCE
The new Lexus NX includes the third generation of Lexus Safety System +. This introduces new features and upgrades with systems tuned to operate in a way that feels more natural to the driver. Improvements include further expansion of the Pre-Collision System’s capability and changes to Adaptive Cruise Control so that it recognises traffic cutting in front of the NX more quickly. The new e-latch electronic entry and exit system warns of any traffic or cyclists approaching from the rear and prevents the door from opening to avoid an accident.
