Since its launch in 2014, the Lexus NX crossover has quickly established itself as a key part of the Lexus range – combining luxury, cool, contemporary design with intelligent and thoroughly enjoyable driving dynamics – with full hybrid and petrol-electric engines plus front and all-wheel drive options. | top 10s |

To build on its success, we’ve made a series of careful improvements; from exterior and interior styling to safety features and upgraded equipment and technology. The revised NX makes its European debut at the Frankfurt International Motor Show (IAA). | top 10s |

The signature spindle grille has a powerful look that aligns it more closely with Lexus’ SUV models, the RX and LX. The design features a series of horizontal bars that extend all the way down to the lower lip. Wider spacing between the bars below the central pinch-point of the spindle emphasises the car’s width and adds a sense of strength to the NX’s frontal appearance. This effect is accentuated by the introduction of larger, deeply recessed lateral air intake ducts, angled to emphasise the car’s broad stance. | top 10s |

Reshaping of the upper part of the front bumper creates a more fluid blending of the styling into the bonnet and front doors, creating a sleeker overall shape with excellent aerodynamics. | top 10s |

The LED headlamp units have an internal arrangement to accommodate the Adaptive High-beam System (AHS), part of the Lexus Safety System + package that is available for the NX. The look is sporty and echoes the lighting design of the new LC luxury coupe. Sequential turn indicators are also added, both at the front and rear. top 10s

At the back, changes to the lower section of the rear bumper introduce elements of the spindle grille shape, amplifying the sense of a wide stance and low centre of gravity. The rear lamp clusters have an elongated shape with a black garnish that adds emphasis to the L-shaped lenses. | top 10 |

On the petrol models – now re-named NX 300 – there are larger, chrome-framed exhaust outlets, while larger satin chrome trims have been added on the full hybrid NX 300h to accentuate the spindle motif. | top 10 |

Two 18-inch alloy wheel designs are featured for Luxury and F SPORT models, both with a striking combination of bright machined and dark metallic finishes. | top 10 |

The interior of the NX benefits from detailed changes that project a sportier character and an even more luxurious feel. There is also a focus on improving the ease of use, convenience and comfort of the equipment features, faithful to Lexus’ commitment to the principles of Omotenashi hospitality. | top 10s |

The most prominent change is in increase in size for the central multimedia display. In the case of the Lexus Premium Navigation, the screen has grown from seven to 10.3 inches, while for the Lexus Display Audio; the increase is from seven to eight inches. | top 10 |

The climate control panel in the centre console has been rendered more ergonomically efficient with a number of buttons being replaced by four easy-to-operate toggle switches. These have a high tactile quality with a raised pattern of small metallic Lexus L motifs. | top 10 |

On the centre console, the NX features the latest generation touchpad control, larger in size for easier operation. The USB ports have been moved to a handier central position and have higher amperage for faster charging of devices. On models equipped with a head-up display, the unit is now seamlessly integrated into the instrument panel, creating a smooth surface across the top of the dashboard.| top 10 |

The NX now has a power rear door with “no-touch” opening and closing function – when you approach the vehicle with the key on your person, all you need to do to open the door is move your foot beneath the rear bumper, where the motion will be picked up by a sensor. The tailgate can be closed with a similar action. A lock reserve button next to the tailgate grab handle automatically locks the vehicle. Top 10s

We’ve also furnished the NX with the latest Lexus Safety System +. This equips the car with a range of active safety and driver assistance features including a Pre-Collision System, Dynamic Radar Cruise Control, Adaptive High-beam System, Lane Departure Alert and Road Sign Assist. Intelligent Clearance Sonar is also available.
