Even if both hands are full, when carrying the Electronic Key, you can open and close the back door automatically by moving your foot under the rear bumper and out again. Refinements enhance fast, quiet operation, and a buzzer confirms when to move your foot out.
The luggage space provides ample storage with the rear seats up and can be expanded as required by folding one or more of the rear seats down. Convenient side nets enable stowing of small items. Two lamps in the desk sides and one in the back door provide good illumination at night.
Cupholder: With a 75mm diameter base, the cupholders can accommodate a range of cups and tumblers. Slide open tray: The storage and charging tray integrated in the front of the center console features a simple slide opening. Double door console box lid: The lid is designed to provide easy access to the console box from both driver’s seat and the passenger’s seat.
The shift lever is designed to provide a satisfying operating feel with gating that clicks sharply into position. With a short stroke and reduced peak load during shift operation, the lever feels light and easy to use. The shift knob was developed to provide the soft, moist feel of genuine leather, with a shape that is easy to grip and use.
The panoramic glass roof features a sliding design. On the moon roof, the inner glass unit slides open, enabling a more expensive opening when the roof is fully open.
Adopting a hub bolt fastening construction enhances high axle rigidly and reduces unsprung weight, contributing to a crisp steering feel with clear feedback and high quality ride comfort. A black coating enhances the appearance of the wheel and ornamentation.
The 4th generation large capacity hybrid system combines a highly efficient 2.5 liter inline 4 cylinder engine with a high output motor. It effectively combines a highly responsive engine, lithium ion battery with enhanced battery performance, and hybrid system control with revised drive force characteristics were developed to deliver smooth and direct start off/acceleration characteristics in the form of linear vehicle G force in response to accelerator operation, and a continuous acceleration feel at mid accelerator operation.
Development of the NX’s aerodynamics focused on control technologies that utilize aerodynamic forces on the front, sides, rear and even under the floor to enhance driving performance.
Lexus aimed for a composed steering feel with clear straight line stability, and a flat road hugging posture. Suspension bushes feature low torsion characteristics, while the shock absorbers reduce shock and vibration to deliver a quality ride.
Frame saction connections were reinforced and panel joints strengthened by various means, including expanding the area of joints, optimizing the application of bonding technologies and materials in different locations, and the use of high rigidity foam material in the rear pillars. In addition, a twin hood lock construction design that uses the hood as a rigid member provides excellent front lateral flex rigidity, endowing the NX with exceptional body rigidity.
