Comprehensive changes to the Lexus NX, including new hybrid and plug-in hybrid powertrains, revised exterior styling and an all-new interior, will be shown at the Nitto ATP Finals in Turin, which runs from 15 to 22 November. The SUV accounts for almost one third of the brand’s annual sales in Europe.
It will be displayed on the tournament’s main court and in the Fan Village Square on the Piazzale Grande, next to the Inalpi Arena. Lexus has been a Platinum Partner and Official Automotive Partner of the ATP Tour and the Finals since 2023, and is supplying a fleet of hybrid, plug-in hybrid and battery electric vehicles to transport players, officials and guests.
Lexus NX exterior design changes
The silhouette is unchanged, but a new frameless spindle grille blends into the bodywork, flanked by headlights with an Adaptive High-beam System, cornering lights and cleaners. Daytime running lights and indicators sit in double parallel bars, while the tail lights form a repeated L-motif. F Sport versions add piano black trim, 20-inch twin-spoke wheels and red brake callipers.
New NX cabin and Sensory Concierge
Inside, a horizontal instrument panel lines up a 12.3-inch driver’s display with a 14-inch multimedia screen. Responsive Hidden Switches, offered with full functionality for the first time, stay concealed in the dashboard until a hand approaches, then light up and give physical feedback when touched.
The Lexus Sensory Concierge appears on the model for the first time in Europe. It links lighting, music, climate control, seat temperature and in-car fragrance across three modes, Inspire, Radiance and Revitalise, with 50 lighting shades. Fragrances developed with Givaudan come in three cartridges housed in the glove box.
NX 450h+ and NX 350h powertrains
The plug-in NX 450h+ moves from an 18 to a 23kWh battery, raising output to 292bhp (296 DIN hp) and cutting the 0-62mph time to 6.1 seconds. Expected electric range is more than 60 miles, and it is the first Lexus plug-in hybrid to accept DC fast charging, with a 10 to 80 per cent charge taking around 28 minutes.
For the NX 350h, the battery is lighter with fewer cells, and maximum power is now 188bhp (190 DIN hp).
Lexus NX arrival and UK pricing
The new NX is due in showrooms in spring 2027. Pricing and specifications for the United Kingdom will be announced later.
