. The new model features a striking design and high-end technologies that will set new standards for future models.

The design of the production NX was strongly influenced by the two  LF-NXLF-NXLexus LF-NXJapan, 2013 > 2013 concept vehicles shown at last year's Frankfurt and Tokyo Motor Shows. Comparing with both concepts the final design has been simplified, however it still looks bold, with angular lines, fleeing from the conservative looks of other models in the class. Lexus hopes that the new model will be able to  bring new customers to the brand.

On the outside, the NX features an enlarged version of Lexus’sspindle grille flanked by slim headlights and strips of LED daytime running lights. The wheel arches are filled with 17-inch alloys in regular versions and 18-inch wheels in F Sport versions. A heavily sculpted bonnet, a sloping roofline and the angular rear look are some of the other exterior design features.

According to Lexus the interior of the new NX SUV has been inspired on a sports car. It features a  sculpted dash panel, at the same time complementing the angular styling of the exterior. The cabin includes a thick-rimmed leather-wrapped steering wheel, a full-leather finish for F Sport models, and a large central screen out of the dashboard for the infotainment display.

The Lexus NX introduces a highly efficient petrol-electric hybrid in NX 300hNX 300h S FWDLexus NX 300h S FWDJapan, 2015 > present, a Lexus first 2.0-litre petrol turbo in NX 200tNX 200tLexus NX 200tJapan, 2015 > present, and a naturally aspirated variant of the same engine in NX 200NX 200Lexus NX 200Japan, 2015 > present. Each engine will be available in both front and all-wheel drive versions.

Other technological features of the new NX include a Lexus-first Wireless Charging Tray to enable a portable device to be charged, the new Lexus Remote Touch Interface with a touch pad, Panoramic View Monitor and a Multi-information Display including a G sensor and boost meter, Head-Up Display, Blind Spot Monitor and Rear Cross Traffic Alert.
