Lexus don begin remove di cover from dia NX, and di timing no be small matter. E don be five years since di second generation land, and now dis model wey be di brand’s second best-seller for North America dey get mid-cycle refresh. Di full unveiling go happen on September 1, and two teaser clips wey dem post for August 29 and 30 don show small bits of di front, rear, side, and inside for shadow.
Dem no don release any specs before di time, but di shadow wey dem show don give us something to yarn about. Di profile for di teaser look close to di current crossover, so dis na facelift, no be new design from scratch. Dem expect di front to borrow from RX, with di spindle grille and sportier bumper intakes. Di headlights go also get new look, maybe horizontal or L-shaped daytime running lights wey go extend further into di fenders.
For outside, di shape dey stay similar to wetin we don already know. But there go be new green paint option and dark multi-spoke wheels wey go do di main visual work. Inside, di biggest change na di steering wheel wey dem take from ES sedan. Instead of di old “L” badge, e go carry full LEXUS wordmark. Di dashboard also look cleaner, with new climate vents and controls around a large central touchscreen.
Di teaser suggest di display go be like di 14-inch unit wey dey for NX range now, but Lexus no don confirm am. Dem still dey keep quiet about di TNGA-K architecture and di turbo gas, hybrid and plug-in hybrid options wey dey available today. Wetin we sabi be say dis na visual and interior update wey go make NX align with RX and ES siblings.
Motor1 take na say dis tweak go refresh di NX look, but no go change di drivetrain. Dat go make di model familiar for buyers wey like proven mechanics. Pricing and trim choices go decide wetin di update go mean for di market. Make we watch whether Lexus go make di new tech standard or optional. Di full answer go come on September 1 for Japan.
