All New LEXUS NX Gets All New Features


Lexus Reveals All New NX Small SUV

NX may look much like the old one launched in 2014, but it is all new. With the new proportions comes a new 2.4L engine, and a new hybrid system, all on a 100% new platform.

From November, the new, larger NX 350h, NX 350 and NX 250 will be in showrooms. Also, that month Lexus’ first fully electric model arrives. It will be called the UX 300e.

NX has a couple of firsts too. It is Lexus’ first plug in hybrid (PHEV), the NX 450h, and will we will get more details for that shortly. It is not yet confirmed for Australia, so fingers crossed.

NX will be loaded with new gizmos such as a cockpit with a 14” central tablet, and digital driver instruments. The new cabin continues the Lexus luxury feel, with quality fittings.

Doors now use electric latches, and will not operate if danger approaches. That’s handy at school drop-off time.

All new NX is quieter, and more rigid, meaning it is a better handler too. The cockpit has a large HUD which is combined with touch buttons on the steering wheel. It promises an all-round better experience.

All driver and safety have had a rethink. They keep you safe at any speed, and in either direction. It will read all road signs, will call SOS in an emergency, and provide tracking if stolen.

NX 350h: The NX hybrid electric vehicle (HEV) has a 2.5-litre petrol engine, and an electric motor with Lithium-ion battery pack. It comes with FWD, or a new AWD system. The E-Four has a constantly variable front/rear driving force distribution from 100:0 to 20:80 percent modes.

NX 350: The all new 2.4-litre turbo four petrol is incredibly efficient and has a new  eight-speed automatic. It also has a new AWD system that constantly varies the front/rear driving force distribution from 75:25 to 50:50 front/rear.

NX 250: The base mode NX has a 2.5-litre petrol engine with an eight-speed automatic. It only comes as a FWD, providing sufficient driving force and a pleasant driving experience with an optimal and rhythmic shift schedule depending on the situation.
