LEXUS' next-generation global core model "New NX"

The first model. Based on Lexus' electrification vision, "Lexus Electrified," the NX, the global core model, is the first Lexus PHEV. Inheriting and deepening the Lexus Driving Signature, basic performance such as driving force control, aerodynamics, and weight reduction have been refined. The lineup includes a variety of powertrains such as 2.5L naturally aspirated and 2.4L turbo. Various advanced technologies have been introduced to the Japanese market, such as pre-reading eco-driving (pre-reading EV/HV mode switching control) that intelligently switches hybrid control, and enhanced connected services.

Various Powertrain Lineup with 6 Types

6 powertrains, including the first Lexus PHEV, have been introduced. By controlling the driving force, deceleration, steering, and acceleration are seamlessly connected in all driving situations, realizing a comfortable ride with a sense of ground contact, a sense of power, and a sense of security.

・2.5L PHEV E-Four ("A25A-FXS" engine + THSⅡPlug-in + rear motor) LEXUS' first PHEV has AWD (E-Four) front/rear driving power between 100:0 and 20:80. optimal control. A large-capacity lithium-ion battery is placed under the floor to lower the center of gravity, resulting in a stable, high-quality ride.

・2.5L HEV E-Four (“A25A-FXS” engine + THSII + rear motor) ・2.5L HEV FF (“A25A-FXS” engine + THSII) HEV also has a highly efficient 2.5L in-line 4 engine and high output motor , and a dedicated control logic achieves both excellent acceleration performance and low fuel consumption at a high level. E-Four optimally controls front/rear driving force distribution from 100:0 to 20:80. In addition, FF is also introduced to meet various needs.

・2.4L-T AWD ("T24A-FTS" engine + Direct Shift-8AT + electronically controlled full-time AWD) Newly developed 2.4L in-line 4-turbo engine, newly developed high-torque Direct Shift-8AT, newly developed electronics Adopted full-time AWD control. In addition to the TNGA high-speed combustion system, the engine is the first Lexus to have a center direct injection system and the close proximity of the turbo and catalyst, etc., in order to comply with exhaust gas and fuel consumption regulations around the world that are becoming stricter year by year, while also being conscious of carbon neutrality. carried out. The transmission achieves comfortable acceleration and deceleration that is faithful to the driver's intentions through newly developed shift control technology and an optimal shift schedule optimized to match the features of the supercharged engine that can generate high torque from low revs. In addition, the electronically controlled full-time AWD optimally controls the front-to-rear driving force distribution between 75:25 and 50:50 according to the scene, and achieves both a high ground feeling and a linear steering feel with its own technology. .

・2.5L AWD (“A25A-FKS” engine + Direct Shift-8AT + electronically controlled standby AWD) ・2.5L FF (“A25A-FKS” engine + Direct Shift-8AT) Highly efficient 2.5L straight 4 engine and Direct Shift -8AT is adopted. The same unique control technology and optimized final gear ratio as the 2.4L turbo engine provide sufficient drive power, while the optimal and rhythmic shift schedule for each scene provides both driving comfort. AWD optimally controls front/rear driving force distribution between 100:0 and 50:50. Contributes to both driving stability and low fuel consumption on slippery roads. In addition to AWD, FF models will also be introduced.

Lexus Driving Signature

While inheriting the unique value of the linear steering feel that Lexus has thoroughly pursued, it focuses on control of driving force. Driving at Toyota Technical Center Shimoyama, we have deepened the "Lexus Driving Signature" that faithfully responds to the driver's intentions. The newly developed electronically controlled full-time AWD has been adopted for the 2.4L turbo model, achieving both the high ground feeling of AWD and the linear steering feel with its own technology.

The new NX adopted and improved the GA-K platform to create a lightweight, highly rigid body and a package with a low center of gravity. The basic performance of the vehicle has been greatly improved, and it inherits the linear response that is faithful to the driver's intentions, which is the unique ride quality of Lexus.

Next-generation LEXUS design that pursues "simplicity"

In addition to a more dynamic skeleton due to a change in platform, the exterior expresses glossy modeling on a large unit basis. The interior is the first to incorporate the Tazuna Concept, a cockpit concept that allows the driver to intuitively connect with the car and concentrate more on driving.

With the new NX, as a challenge to establish the next-generation LEXUS design language, we pursued "uniqueness" rooted in proportions that contribute to driving performance and functionality, and "simplicity" rooted in technology.

Adoption of a new platform provides a dynamic frame and increased rear seat space Front and rear tires have been increased in diameter from 225/60R18 inches to 235/50R20 inches, and the front and rear treads have also been widened. Furthermore, by lowering the hip point of the rear seats, the head clearance has been expanded and the comfortability has been improved.

Proportioned spindle grille that pursues the originality of LEXUS. In addition, the three-dimensional body that rises from the front fender to the cabin intersects with the three-dimensional body that runs toward the rear fender, pursuing the originality of the Lexus.

While the grille surface is set vertically, the bonnet hood is extended to just before the front tip to enhance the sense of mass. In addition, the cooling performance of the radiator is improved by efficiently taking in air on the upright grill surface. By abolishing the plated frame of the grille and emphasizing the presence of the mass, we realized a simple structure and weight reduction. The grille pattern adopts a vertical U-shaped block with a three-dimensional effect, and a slit-shaped opening is provided at the bottom to improve cooling performance and produce a powerful appearance suitable for an SUV. The headlamps are all black to accentuate the L-shaped daytime running lights. In addition, the brand mark has been revamped from the conventional L-shaped logo to the new LEXUS logo, impressing the next-generation LEXUS.

The bonnet hood facing the upright grill surface expresses flexibility. In addition, the rear overhang is shortened to create a sense of agility. In addition, by shortening the straight belt line and emphasizing the kick-up toward the rear, the cabin feels more compact.

Fusing contradictory elements such as sharp character lines and large curved surfaces, pursuing a solid texture that makes them stand out from each other. It is a new design expression of the next-generation LEXUS that is simple yet impressive.

A variety of exterior colors

The lineup includes a total of 11 colors, including Sonic Chrome, which uses LEXUS' unique metal expression technology, Celestial Blue, a straight, high-saturation color, and Blazing Carnelian Contrast Layering, which combines depth and vividness.

Cockpit by "Tazuna Concept" The cockpit was designed based on the "Tazuna Concept", which was inspired by the "bridle" used by people to control horses. It is possible to control navigation, audio, drive mode selection, etc. while concentrating on driving. The layout of the information display system that connects the head-up display to the meters and the configuration of the operation system that connects the head-up display to the center display enable smooth line of sight movement while driving. In addition, driving systems such as the start switch, shift lever, and drive mode select switch are placed around the steering wheel for smooth operation.

The latest technologies and services based on human-centered thinking

The new NX adopts the advanced Lexus Safety System +. By expanding the detection range of the millimeter-wave radar and monocular camera, the performance of each function has been improved and new functions have been added to support on general roads. The aim is to prevent accidents, further reduce traffic accident casualties, and reduce the burden on drivers. It is also equipped with Lexus Teammate Advanced Park, an advanced driver assistance technology that supports safe, secure and smooth parking. In addition, it has a new function that allows you to park remotely using a smartphone. In addition, Safe Disembarkation Assist (with door open control), which links the e-latch system that electronically controls door unlatching and blind spot monitor sensors, supports safe and secure disembarkation.

The latest Lexus Safety System + includes pre-crash safety, radar cruise control (with all-vehicle tracking function), and other functions that warn the driver if the driver remains inactive during lane tracing assist control. Equipped with compatible systems.

By installing a dedicated smartphone app, a "digital key" is adopted that allows you to use your smartphone as a digital key. If you have a smartphone with you, you can lock and unlock the doors and start the engine without operating the screen. Digital keys can be exchanged between smartphones, making it easier to rent and borrow vehicles between family members and friends in remote locations.

Completely renewed multimedia system and connected services

In addition to adopting a larger, higher-resolution 14-inch touch wide display, the latest multimedia in pursuit of intuitive usability Develop system. A connected navigation system that uses map information on the cloud to obtain traffic information and parking space availability information in real time was adopted. It also supports Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. The "My Setting Function", which allows you to register your personal settings in the vehicle, can now identify the driver not only with the smart key, but also with a digital key or Bluetooth device (smartphone, etc.).
