Lexus NX

Exterior

As discussed above, the Lexus NX is a radical SUV, which looks unique in its own way. To give a brief of the design and styling, the NX looks simply stunning from almost every aspect. The massive spindle grille, sharp cuts, 18-inch wheels, angular headlamps, and all the unconventional design cues come together to make the Lexus NX new model a striking SUV.

Variants

The Lexus NX variants are as follows: 300h Exquisite, 300h Luxury, and 300h F-Sport. Features on the top-spec F-Sport variant include a head-up display, steering-mounted paddle-shifters, an electric tailgate, a 10.3-inch infotainment screen, a 360-degree camera with front and rear parking sensors, auto headlamps and wipers, heated front seats and steering wheel, wireless mobile charging, and eight-way adjustable electric front seats with driver-side memory.

In the safety department, the Lexus NX on-road price gets you eight airbags, ABS with EBD, vehicle stability control, and an anti-theft system.

Interior

The dashboard follows a black and white theme with contrast stitching, yet it carries an unconventional design like the exterior. The materials used are great and the fit-and-finish is simply impressive. The 10.3-inch infotainment screen is mounted on top of the dashboard, which looks great but might be out of reach for some drivers. Moreover, you sit facing a part digital instrument cluster, which misses out on a traditional rev counter for a battery indicator.

The overall space inside the cabin is good. The seats are nice and comfy, especially the front ones. The steering wheel also feels nice to hold, since it comes draped in high-quality leather.
