The foundation of the NX’s responsive sporty handling is a lightweight, high rigidity body structure made from hot-stamp, high-tensile steel and aluminum, with strategically positioned reinforcements. The use of innovative production technologies including laser screw welding and body adhesives, together with extensive spot welding, enhances the rigidity of panel joints, and contributes to the excellent handling, refined comfort and quiet ride.
The electronically-controlled system continually varies distribution of drive power to the rear wheels, switching from front-wheel drive to AWD to realize handling stability to suit the driving conditions, together with excellent fuel economy.
The newly-developed, super intelligent 6-speed automatic transmission features advanced drive-force-on-demand control logic that calculates the required engine torque to realize a high level of vehicle control in line with accelerator operation, together with a sophisticated acceleration feeling. Multi-mode Automatic Transmission and G AI-SHIFT control further contribute to driving pleasure.
Drive mode select provides integrated control of multiple systems to let you tune performance to suit your driving style. You can select and change between four modes: Normal, Eco, Sport and Sport+ Modes.
This newly-developed engine delivers a sophisticated fusion of exhilarating driving performance and excellent fuel efficiency. The compact high-efficiency twin scroll turbocharger is combined with an Atkinson Cycle engine with Dual VVT-iW. To realize optimum combustion, the innovative D-4ST features both direct and port injectors. This advanced Lexus engineering helps generate high torque from low through to high rpm ranges, high level responsiveness, as well as enhancing fuel economy.
The distinctive Lexus L-shaped lamps look like a brilliant crystal, even in daytime. The wide LED sequential turn signal lamps illuminate from the inner to the outer side of the lamp to intuitively convey the turn direction.
LED lamps integrated into the front bumper reduce power consumption while providing a bright beam, contributing to excellent visibility for safe driving in low light and at night.
The ultra-small 3-eye Bi-Beam LED headlamps combine advanced design with excellent light distribution. LEDs in the sequential turn signal lamps illuminate sequentially in a flow from the inner side to the outside of the vehicle.
