Lexus NX review
Exterior
The head
Seen from the front of the Lexus NX 2023, the most prominent is the signature spindle grille. The internal structure has been refreshed with longitudinal spokes to optimize engine cooling efficiency while creating a feeling that the front end looks longer.
The two sides of the grille are air intakes with integrated fog lights that change to a vertical black border, contributing to a bunker look for the "face" of the NX 2023.
The front light cluster is refreshed with two separate LED bulbs and an integrated projector. The LED daytime running lights are no longer separate but integrated into the front light cluster and are refined to be slimmer.
The body
Moving to the hips, the embossed ribs are renewed, no longer extending throughout but shortening at the rear door handle to create a dynamic look when viewed from the side.
Supporting the entire chassis is a set of sharp new multi-spoke wheels ranging from 18 to 20 inches. The veins in the four-wheel arches are emphasized more than before, enhancing the strong look of the body.
The rear
Looking at the new taillights of the NX 2023, customers will easily think of Porsches with a seamless LED strip design that stretches to the car's rear.
In addition, the Japanese automaker also added the words "LEXUS," which is quite similar to Porsche cars. Below are two vertical sports painted black air vents; it would be more perfect if it were equipped with a double exhaust system.
Interior
The Lexus NX interior promises to bring customers a "technological sky" with many expensive upgrades. Many new materials are also added to help bring a more luxurious and high-class look.
The refreshed interior lighting system includes 14 themes that can nicely simulate rainforests, waterfalls, or sunsets. Sound insulation has also been improved by 15% compared to before, thanks to optimizing heat-insulating and sound-absorbing materials.
The Cockpit
The most notable upgrade is the 9.8-inch central entertainment screen in the standard version and up to 14 inches in the high-end version. The instrument cluster behind the steering wheel has also been upgraded to a 7-inch digital form.
In front of the driver, there is also a 10-inch HUD screen to help the driver focus more on driving. All seats on the car are covered with high-quality leather with optional color tones such as black, Black / Rich Cream, Palomino, or Rioja Red NuLuxe.
To increase the cabin's luxury, Lexus also uses Black Open Pore and Black Prism wood trim details. In addition, this car is also equipped with a rearview mirror integrated with a large screen displaying a modern reversing camera.
The Cabin
The legroom in the rear seats is improved, more spacious than before thanks to the wheelbase being extended by 30 mm, reaching 2,690 mm. The space is also much more airy thanks to the car's roof integrated with a panoramic sunroof.
Engine
Besides, this Lexus NX Philippines also has two versions using hybrid engines.
The first is the NX 350h version using a 2.5L engine combined with a rear electric motor for a total capacity of 239 horsepower, allowing the car to accelerate from 0-100km / h in 7.2 seconds. The average fuel consumption of this version reaches 6.5L / 100km.
