Lexus has released more teaser images of the next-generation NX. Lexus USA mentions June 11, 11pm EDT as the global reveal time. EDT is Eastern Daylight Time in the US, covering New York and eastern states. That’s 12pm on June 12, Japan time. We’re one hour behind Japan, so it’s 11am on June 12 for us.
Following last week’s glimpse of the new NX’s rear end – where we saw the LED light strip and the new Lexus logotype that replaces the rear L mark, as seen on the LF-Z Electrified concept – the premium brand has released two more teaser images. One shows the silhouette of the NX, which does nothing much but to confirm that the car in question is an SUV. There’s a hint of the rear LED lights but not much.
The latest teaser image shows the new NX on a beach, zoomed in on the wheel. The multi-spoke rim is two-tone, and if you squint hard like we did, you’ll see that the tyre is a Bridgestone Alenza RFT (run flat) in 235/50 R20 size, which means that the wheels are 20-inch items. That’s two inches larger than the original NX’s biggest launch wheels.
Wheel aside, we can see the slightly squared off arches with a slim piece of black plastic cladding, similar to the outgoing NX. Based on the leaked pics from February, the next-gen SUV will look very much like the NX that we know, but with a collection of slightly softer lines for a more matured look. While not origami like the latest Hyundais there’s still a sharp crease or two – unique ones are around the rear door/D-pillar area.
The bigger change is inside, where the NX gets a new concept altogether – big touchscreen angled to the driver and the exclusion of the brand’s Remote Touch interface, which is far from the most intuitive system around.
In the engine department, expect naturally aspirated and turbocharged units alongside a hybrid. What’s new for this round is the debut of Lexus’ first ever plug-in hybrid model. This “NX 450h+” could share the RAV4 Prime’s PHEV system, which combines a 178 PS/228 Nm 2.5 litre Atkinson-cycle engine with an electric motor for total system output of 306 PS. In the RAV4, the electric range is 60 km.
Not long now. See the leaked pics below for an idea of what to expect.

According to Govt, ekonomi Malaysia semakin kukuh. More and more ppl buying luxury brands, Lexus incl. Tengkiu kerajaan pn …even menteri go all the way dari Kedah ke penang mse PKP3.0
Ppl who envy our gomen achievements only know to talk bad and tell lies.
Since when this new generation Lexus NX is the achievement of a government when this vehicle is a product designed & manufactured by an automotive company?
Maruah goes up as more and more people buy luxury cars. PaulTan ACE 2021 sold RM 80mil shows us Malaysians are affluent lot and country is making progress despite their complaints every time.
Are all the 561 cars worth a total of RM 80.5 million which were booked during ACE2021 actually luxury models? The price of each of those 561 cars would average RM 143,493.76. Is that the average price of a luxury car in Malaysia when the current generation Lexus NX retails from RM 306,117.00 in the same country? If those 561 car buyers at ACE 2021 are really an affluent lot, how many of them actually paid the full amount for their new set of wheels instead of paying via hire-purchase like the common budget to mid-level car buyer?
paultan.org reported that a total of 561 cars worth RM80.5 mil were sold at ACE 2021. Since you say that those 561 buyers are affluent Malaysians, do you have a breakdown of the luxury brands and models which they had purchased at ACE 2021?
Since this will most likely be a CBU model, Malaysians can expect a car with lower spec car selling at 300k+
Current RX real value around 25xk only. Tax propel it to 400k+. Gila
dear lexus the whole world knows what it looks like
