Exterior Style

The front of the brand new theory is dominated by an interpretation of the Lexus spindle grille.

The top edges of the grille create strong lines which explain the bonnet edges, although the foundation is underscored by means of a chromefinished undertray which expresses the crossover concept's offroad qualifications.

Extremely expressive, touch front lighting attributes three diamond-formed LED headlamps and also the independent Daytime Running Lights (DRL) first seen in the new IS sedan. The DRLs are underscored by fulllength LED strip turn-signal lamps.

This separates the fender in the front wing having an intense vertical cut depth that narrows to a point underneath the headlamp clusters.

Both front and back wings are formed by means of a group of muscle, concave and convex curves. And also the wheel arches comprise black-painted trim, hinting at an urban crossover is typified by the protective finish which.

The belt line forms a conspicuous diamond shape in plan type. This reaches its widest point next to the B-pillar before as it flows astern narrowing. Underneath, the door cills create an even more competitive, angular interpretation of the increasing crease line first observed in the theory.

Over the belt line, the traditional Lexus side glazing profile combines with a built-in spoiler and steeply raked tailgate to make the shape of an athletic coupe.

The back of the Lexus LF-NX is dominated by exceptionally articulated lamp clusters which produce an immediately identifiable light touch. They extend the complete depth of the fender, developing a sharp, aerodynamic trailing edge element.

The broad lower bumper is blatantly detailed with no noticeable exhaust system, in acknowledgement of the complete hybrid powertrain's environmentally -friendly credentials.

The Lexus LF - NX notion is completed in a fresh Brushed Metal Silver outside color which provides the impact the body-shell has-been carved from one billet of solid steel.

Home Design

In a continuation of the 'Individual Oriented' L-finesse design theory realised in both LFA and new IS, the inside mirrors the LF-NX's exceptionally sculpted, angular exterior styling. It features bold, strong kinds which produce a cockpit inside an ergonomically perfect environment.

The console extends the full-length of the cottage to bisect the back seats. Its exceptionally threedimensional framework's vibrant, brushed alloy finish has been put on the driver's instrument meters, the controls, the seat construction and also the overhead console.

Intuitive interaction together with the vehicle's switchgear, instrumentation and Human-machine Interface (HMI) technologies is right at the center of Lexus interior-design. And the LF-NX cottage features the perfect, upper screen zone and reduced operation zone dashboard format perfected over consecutive Lexus generations.

The top screen zone features a special driver's device meter style.

The lower operation zone enables use of the brand new Lexus Remote Touch-interface (RTI and also a fresh generation of touchsensitive, electrostatic switches). This combines a touch tracer display with an adjustable arm-rest and a fresh touch pad design, for comfort and sleek, intuitive simplicity.

Powertrain

Strengthening Lexus' dedication to the potential of full hybrid drive technology, the LF-NX notion includes a complete hybrid powertrain tuned for SUV functionality.

The entire hybrid drive system combines a 2.5 litre, fourcylinder Atkinson cycle petrol-engine with a strong electric motor to drive.

The LF-NX's highly-efficient complete hybrid power-train targets efficiency on a level with conventionally powered rivals, although returning excellent fuel consumption and category-leading CO2 emissions.
