The all-new 2021 Lexus NX SUV

The all new 2021 Lexus NX has been leaked in an online video and seems like a great update over the current one. I quite like the Lexus design aesthetic, which I admit is not for everyone, given I am a current owner of an RX350.

Along with all new deisgn, NX also gets a full length LED strip at the back which is quickly becoming a design feature of the new Lexus's given it is also present on the revised IS sedan which to me is the best looker in its segment.

What else is new:
1. New touchscreen infotainment system. The much maligned remote touch interface is gone and for good.
2. New all digital cluster. Not a fan of these.
3. New engines - 350H which could be the hybrid system out of the larger Highlander Hybrid with 180kw of power and a 450H plug in hybrid which is straight out of RAV4 Prime and is not a bad thing at all.

I am really like it already and if priced sensibly in India this could given the Germans a jolly good run of their money.

Enjoy the video

Re: The all-new 2021 Lexus NX SUV

Did Lexus just remove the touchpad or am I dreaming? The first time I used the touchpads I had nightmares that night about it, Other than that this seems like a good update with the updated infotainment system. I hope the Hybrid comes with more power.

O.T: I wonder why the IS didn't come with this updated interior, it would have complemented the exterior looks of the new IS.

I think they're moving to touchscreen only. The new IS has a touchscreen and the touchpad. The new IS500 is dope! A nicer interior would have nailed it.

Re: The all-new 2021 Lexus NX SUV

2022 Lexus NX debuts, Production starts in the third quarter of 2021.

The exterior styling has an evolved look from the current Lexus NX. There's still the familiar spindle grille but with redesigned headlights that have pointy, arrow-shaped running lights.

The all-new 2021 Lexus NX SUV-2022lexusnx47.jpg

The all-new 2021 Lexus NX SUV-2022lexusnx11.jpg

Three-projector LED headlights are an option.

The rear end gets rid of the brand's traditional L emblem. Instead, there are now bold Lexus letters across the back. The taillights also span the full width of the vehicle, too.

The all-new 2021 Lexus NX SUV-2022lexusnx16.jpg

Inside, there's the overhauled infotainment tech that the company calls Lexus Interface. It comes standard with a 9.8-inch screen, and a 14-inch display is an option.

The all-new 2021 Lexus NX SUV-2022lexusnx35.jpg

Heated front seats are now standard, and there's an option for a heated rear bench.

A panoramic moonroof is available that has openings for the front and rear passengers.

The all-new 2021 Lexus NX SUV-2022lexusnx18.jpg

The Lexus NX comes with Digital Latch push-button door handles with Safe Exit Assist technology.

Other tech in the cabin includes a 7.0-inch high-definition screen in the instrument cluster and an optional 10-inch head-up display.

The all-new 2021 Lexus NX SUV-2022lexusnx31.jpg

The 2022 NX offers four powertrains. The base version is the NX 250 that has a 2.5-liter naturally aspirated four-cylinder making 203 hp and 250Nm paired to an eight-speed automatic and comes in front- and all wheel drive layouts.

The Lexus NX 350 comes with a 2.4-liter turbocharged four-cylinder that makes 275 hp and 430 Nm. It also uses an 8-speed automatic and gets to 60 mph in 6.8 seconds.

The all-new 2021 Lexus NX SUV-2022lexusnx17.jpg

There's also a hybrid NX 350h with a 2.5-liter four-cylinder and an electric motor on each axle. It makes 239 hp and can reach 60 mph in 7.2 seconds

The all-new 2021 Lexus NX SUV-2022lexusnx25.jpg

There's a new plug-in hybrid NX 450h+. At the moment Lexus isn't offering full specs for this powertrain yet. It uses the same 2.5-liter four-cylinder as the NX350h, and Lexus claims there's an EV output equivalent to a 2.0-liter engine.The 0 to 60 mph is estimated at 6.0 seconds, and the range solely on electric power should be around 36 miles (58 kilometers).

The all-new 2021 Lexus NX SUV-2022lexusnx45.jpg

The NX 450h+ comes standard with a 3.3-kilowatt on-board charger. It takes 4.5 hours to recharge. Customers can get an optional 6.6 kW charger which reduces the time to 2.5 hours.

The all-new 2021 Lexus NX SUV-2022lexusnx37.jpg

The F Sport handling package is available for the NX 350 and NX 450h+. It includes an adaptive suspension and rides on 20-inch gloss black wheels.

The all-new 2021 Lexus NX SUV-2022lexusnx14.jpg

The NX benefits from the latest Lexus Safety System+ 3.0. It includes Intelligent High Beams, Road Sign Assist, Lane Assistance, and an updated Pre-Collision System with Oncoming Vehicle Detection which can activate automatic emergency braking to help avoid a frontal collision. Other highlights include Risk Avoidance Emergency Steer Assist, Left Turn Oncoming Vehicle Detection/Braking, Right/Left Turn Oncoming Pedestrian Detection/Braking and Dynamic Radar Cruise Control with Curve Speed Management.

Re: The all-new 2021 Lexus NX SUV

Absolutely love this new NX. Now apart from being a left field choice, i would argue this is the best looking crossover in this class. Lexus's hybrid powertrain has excellent efficiency and performance and the 450h sound amazing. 0-100 in less than 6 second with the efficiency of a small diesel hatchback!

Re: The all-new 2021 Lexus NX SUV

Was waiting for the NX reveal after hearing about the 450h plug-in. Although evolutionary, the car looks really sharp and I've never had any qualms with the spindle grill on their monocoque range. The rear has a bit of an ultra-futuristic Robocop vibe going. They've even gotten rid of that awkward touchpad/joystick business!

I'm surprised Toyota have gone with electronic door latches considering they are usually not quick to adopt new trends, especially ones that are somewhat gimmicky. We can probably expect them to be quite reliable, which I think is everybody's biggest concern with these releases. However, there's a neat physical release integrated into both internal and external door handles. That's some incredible functional design.

I'm not sure if the 450h will even make it to Indian shoes, forget whether it'll be CKD. I really wish FAME made space for plug-ins since many of us might be able to complete our office commute/intra-city runs purely on electric power alone (50 km or 100 km if you have a charging point at your workplace, even the commonplace wall outlet works!). Either way, expect TKM to price it higher than all its competitors. But hey, who knows, this might be a keeper.

Here's Alex from AlexOnAutos at the reveal:

Euro NCAP safety ratings for the Lexus New NX will be published on 3 March 2022. It is hoped that it will renew the previous generation's five-star rating under the new Euro NCAP protocols.

Euro NCAP expresses their surprise at lack of transparency from Lexus in providing data used in the assessment.

The NX has a countermeasure to mitigate against occupant-to-occupant injuries in such impacts and, while this performed well in Euro NCAP's test, Lexus did not provide additional information to demonstrate that the performance was robust and symmetrical.
Hence the NX failed to score any points for protection against front occupant-to-occupant interaction.

Lexus also failed to present an ISO-compliant rescue sheet to Euro NCAP, causing it to be marked down for rescue and extrication.

However, Lexus did present kneemapping data to Euro NCAP:
Quote:
Lexus showed that a similar level of protection would be provided to occupants of different sizes and to those sitting in different positions.
