• The Lexus NX went through a substantial mid-lifecycle update.
  • The Japanese SUV gains fresh looks and an overhauled interior.
  • It also benefits from improved hybrid and PHEV powertrains.

Lexus has unveiled a facelifted version of the NX, five years after the debut of the second generation. The second-best selling Lexus behind the RX gains a sharper face, an overhauled interior and important updates under the skin heralded by improved hybrid and plug-in hybrid powertrains.

Starting with the exterior design, the aggressive headlights adopt a new LED lighting signature and connect to the sculpted Spindle grille and the triangular bumper intakes. The profile looks familiar but the new alloy wheels and the removal of chrome accents freshen it up.

At the rear, the updated taillight graphics feature an L-shaped motif flanking the illuminated badge. The F Sport trim adds piano black accents to the exterior including subtle aero upgrades, complemented by 20-inch wheels with red brake calipers. Finally, the color palette gains new shades including the Sonic Platinum, the Sonic Tellus khaki green, and the F Sport-exclusive Titanium Carbide Grey.

Inside, the dashboard has been completely redesigned, taking cues from the new Lexus ES sedan. The centerpiece is the free-standing 14-inch infotainment display running the latest Lexus Connect software. It is combined with a 12.3-inch digital instrument cluster, a cleaner center console and new physical controls with haptic feedback that disappear in the dashboard trim when not in use.

Under the skin, mechanical and powertrain upgrades over the outgoing model are equally substantial. The TNGA-K architecture benefits from increased structural rigidity, accompanied by revised suspension tuning and enhanced noise isolation. More importantly, both the HEV and PHEV powertrains have been upgraded to the sixth generation of Lexus hybrid technology, with greater efficiency and performance.

Availabilty

The facelifted Lexus NX is scheduled to roll out in global markets towards the end of the year, with European deliveries starting in spring 2027. US pricing and availability are expected to be announced in the coming weeks/months.

Lexus has sold approximately 1.9 million units of the NX since the debut of the original in 2014, making it a core model in its SUV lineup. The premium sibling of the Toyota RAV4 competes with the likes of the BMW X3, Audi Q5, Mercedes GLC, and Volvo XC60.
