The Lexus NX is a compact crossover of the premium segment that has tried on a new corporate identity: an exterior replete with sharp edges, announced as an example of the LF-NX concept. In accordance with the “L-Finesse” design philosophy, the rather aggressive appearance of the front part is emphasized by the Lexus-specific spindle-shaped grille, large air intakes of a characteristic shape and long “arrows” of LED daytime running lights. The name comes from the combination of the first letter of the word "nimble" (agile, agile) and X, which means Crossover. Lexus NX is built on the new MC platform, common for Toyota RAV4 and for the model of the domestic market Toyota Harrier (third generation). With a wheelbase of 2660 mm, it has 4630 mm in length with a total height of 1645 mm and a width of 1845 mm. In the Japanese market, the model is offered in two versions: the NX200t with a two-liter turbo engine and the hybrid NX300h.
 Lexus NX200t standard equipment includes 17 "alloy wheels, LED fog lights, rear-view mirrors, power tailgate, interior access and keyless entry system, dual-zone climate control, power front seats, full power accessories, 7 "LCD monitor, 8-speaker audio system and rearview camera. In options: heated front seats and steering wheel, all-round visibility, parking sensors. These functions are available for the “I Package”, and in the form of options: leather interior, memory of the driver's seat and steering column. Premium F Sport and Version L trim levels also offer 18-inch wheels, enhanced finishes, Mark Levinson audio systems and more. The “F Sport” version is distinguished by a sports exterior and interior, adaptive adjustable suspension and body vibration dampers.

 The compact crossover Lexus NX200t offers a turbo engine with direct injection of two liters and a capacity of 238 liters. with. The new engine is interesting in that it uses a water-cooled exhaust manifold built directly into the cylinder head. Another innovation is the twin-scroll turbocharger. The so-called "turboyama" is practically absent, while the maximum torque is available in the zone of 1650-4000 rpm. Accordingly, the dynamics are also impressive: 7.2 seconds of acceleration to 100 km / h. In addition, the NX200t is quite economical: according to the accepted criteria in Japan, it is capable of driving 12.4-12.8 km per liter of fuel. The engine is paired with a 6-speed "automatic", providing for manual gear shifting using paddle shifters. The chassis includes an independent McPherson suspension at the front, multi-link independent at the rear, disc brakes (front ventilated), complemented by an electric parking brake. Steering - rack and pinion type with electric power. The standard 225 / 65R17 tires in the F Sport and Version L trim levels were replaced with 235 / 55R18 and 225 / 60R18 tires respectively. In those versions that are equipped with an all-wheel drive system, under normal conditions, the torque is transmitted to the front axle, which ensures economical consumption, and when the front wheels slip, up to 50% of the moment is transmitted to the rear. The multi-plate rear axle clutch has the ability to lock (at a speed of not more than 40 km / h).

 Lexus NX200t demonstrates a very high level of security. The standard equipment includes 8 airbags, seat belt pretensioners for front and rear side seats, anti-lock braking system with emergency brake booster and electronic brake force distribution, traction control, directional stability system, rear view camera, radar cruise control. In the options - a monitoring system for "blind spots", a assistance system when leaving the parking lot in reverse. The head-up display displays the most basic information directly in front of the driver, which also increases safety. The car received the highest rating in JNCAP crash tests.

 The compact Lexus NX crossover has become a good alternative for those buyers who do not consider the older Lexus RX model to be their choice, but would like to get a crossover with a high level of equipment corresponding to the Lexus brand. In Japan, sales began in May 2014. At the same time, as usual for the domestic market, the car was presented with the widest possible choice of equipment, in particular, the NX200t provides eight options depending on the level of equipment (four equipment) and the type of drive (front or full).
