The NX'a total system output is 243hp, not 426hp as shown in the graphic. Apologies for the error!

It's sad to see such an awesome car be priced this high due to unreasonable taxes on hybrids.

[pallavmishra]

In the US, the NX 2022 comes at about Rs 38 lakhs with premium package, about 22 lakhs less than the base package in India. Wish India gave tax credits for hybrids and EVs.

'Hybrid theory' just remind me of album of Linkin Park by the way what a gorgeous car GLA owner will do backflips in driver seat if they see one

[araaz]

Much better than the Mercs, BMWs, and Audis. The only reason most people buy those cars is just because they are popular brands.

Looks dashing, fantastic infotainment system, terrific mileage with that hybrid powertrain, very smooth and comfortable, stands out from the crowd and has that legendary, unbeatable Toyota reliability. What's not to like here?

[srs.shashank]

It looks very compact more like a competitor to GLA/X1 rather than GLC, but yea looks way better in terms of quality and yes its a hybrid.

Love the car. Also love your Linkin Park reference. Being both LP and Lexus fan. Loved it. #ripchester

When you love IC engines but hike in petrol price.... All I could think is of Hybrid engines🥰🥰

[prakhar.december]

Weren’t the Lexuses supposed to be cheaper than their German rivals?

[praddzzz]

Love the way the wheels look. Remind me of the Lexus LFA ones.

They added alot of curves to the exterior that a existing owner of the current NX will probably get jealous.

Love the idea of the anti static mat on the door. I hate that electric shock so i push on the glass to close the door.

I think they have removed analog clock 🕰 from interior which was a classic for them.

I like the Linkin Park reference - Hybrid theory 😌💖

[vfrfandom]

If you are sick of the high running costs of German brands, Lexus is the car - the most reliable, luxury car. It's a fact, not a statement...when you realise how the Japanese literally kicked "Germans" with this awesome car.Lexus Toyota could even roll out the 2022 UX 200 her in india.

I really find the e-latch for the doors very interesting, but i would rather go with the conventional pull type door handles....

[gat]

Hybrid Theory? I can sense a Linkin Park reference in the title 😉

[biswaranjansahoo]

Maha comparison between Lexus nx vs Volvo xc60 vs Jaguar f pace vs merc glc vs bmw x3 vs Audi q5 vs discovery sport

[params]

where is this road.. where you tested this car... can someone tell

[ashleygreen]

Push button gearshift should be installed at this price range!!

[vivekgopinathan]

No point having all the quirks when the soul of the vehicle, one of them being the gearbox & engine calibration being clumsy. Never been a fan of Lexus except its big boy

[chevvakulasrikanth]

How many kilometres does this drive per litre?

[raajesh]

LS400 classic cars are the best looking Lexus ever made
