  • 2015 Lexus NX Range Revealed Ahead Of Beijing Debut

    2015-Lexus-NX-THUMB2015 Lexus NX exclusive range has just been revealed ahead of its official debut that it is going to make at the Beijing Motor Show in less than 10 days. The line-up has been teased a week ago. However, Lexus did not say much about what the car will boast. Now, we not only have the images of the 2015 Lexus NX F Sport and 2015 Lexus NX 300h, but we have also been provided with some substantial details around those two.

    The sharply styled compact luxury crossover is Lexus’ entry into the mid-size SUV market. It has been based on the LF-NX Concept and looks as stylish and edgy as it. Its striking design is complemented by high-end technologies and luxury treatment.

    In fact, NX has been designed to look as though it is has been cast from a single piece of metal. Its muscular appearance is achieved via the strong, flared wheel arches that house 17 or 18-inch wheels. As in the concept, brand’s signature spindle grille is the main focus here. It has been reinforced by LED headlamps and daytime running lights.

    At the sides, the vehicle has a roofline that’s set towards the rear of the vehicle. Details here include an innovative door mirror design and a world-first door handle mechanism with a concealed key barrel and integrated lighting. At the rear, one can see L-shape combination lamps, fitted with LED lighting. The design also echoes the spindle grille treatment at the front.

    Inside, Lexus NX looks more like a sports car. The highlights here include thick-rimmed sports steering wheel and contrasting trims. The driver will also enjoy intuitive interaction with the controls, instrumentation and HMI technology.

    The company announced that the NX range will utilize a highly efficient petrol-electric hybrid engine in the NX 300h; a Lexus-first 2.0-litre petrol turbo in the NX 200t; and a naturally aspirated petrol unit in the NX 200. Of course, customers will have the option to choose it front or all-wheel drive.

    Some of the technologies that are going to be featured include: Lexus-first wireless charging tray; Lexus Remote Touch Interface with a touch pad control; Panoramic View Monitor; comprehensive multi-information display with a Lexus-first G-sensor; head-up display; Blind Spot Monitor and Rear Cross Traffic Alert.

    2015 Lexus NX’s additional list of specifications and powertrains will be announced ahead of the vehicle going on sale towards the end of this year.

  • Lexus Teases NX Compact SUV Ahead Of Beijing Premiere

    Lexus-NX-Teaser-THUMBLexus NX Compact SUV was announced to be introduced at the 2014 Beijing International Autoshow back in March. Back then we didn’t see any teaser of the car. However, Lexus corrected this today with the reveal of the first picture of its next vehicle that will enhance its luxury rage of cars. The model will be based on the LF-NX concept that debuted last year. In addition, the brand is promising that the NX will bring about striking design, advanced technologies and will carry the signature spindle grille in an SUV form.

    The official premiere will happen at Lexus press-conference on 20th of Apri in the W3 Hall at the China International Exhibition Centre in Beijing. The new SUV will be positioned below the RX in the Lexus product range.

    In 2013 we saw the debut of LF-NX Compact Crossover and it looked amazing. So we are currently wondering whether its production version will look much more different. The concept is only 182.7 inches long and has a wheelbase of 106.3-inch.

    Its bold exterior boasted distinctive and sculpted styling, and featured the redesigned spindle grille of the brand. The aggressive design of the vehicle was additionally strengthened via the wide front track, three diamond-shaped LED headlamps and independent Daytime Running Lights (DRL).

    Another fact that makes us wonder is whether the NX SUV will carry the same full hybrid powertrain as its concept sibling. In particular, the drive system includes a 2.5-liter four-cylinder Atkinson cycle gas engine and a powerful electric motor.

  • Lexus To Reveal The New NX Crossover

    Remember when last year Lexus revealed the LF-NX Compact Crossover at the 2013 Frankfurt Motor Show? Now, the company is surprising us with the great news that the car will go in production and will carry the name Lexus NX.

    The NX Crossover will make a 2014 Beijing Motor Show debut in April, and will also make an entry to the growing segment of premium mid-size crossovers. It will be positioned below the RX in the Lexus product range. We are wondering whether there will be any differences between the concept and the production car.

    LF-NX Compact Crossover Concept is the embodiment of city-compact premium crossovers. It is only 182.7 inches long and has a wheelbase of 106.3-inch. Its exterior is bold and offers more distinctive and sculpted styling, by offering a strong interpretation of the Lexus spindle grille.

    The aggressive appearance is further reinforced by vehicle’s wide front track, three diamond-shaped LED headlamps and independent Daytime Running Lights (DRL). LF-NX concept is equipped with a full hybrid powertrain, and we are probably to see it also in the production version. Precisely, the full hybrid drive system includes a 2.5-liter four-cylinder Atkinson cycle gas engine and a powerful electric motor.
