Overview
- Lexus held the NX world premiere on September 1, 2026 and confirmed the 2027 model will reach global markets from late 2026 with some regions, including Australia, expected in 2027.
- The entire NX line is now hybrid‑only, dropping petrol‑only variants and offering three electrified models: NX300h, NX350h and the plug‑in NX450h+.
- The NX450h+ receives the largest mechanical change with about a 30% increase in battery capacity in some markets, DC fast‑charging support and a targeted WLTP electric range above 100 km.
- Under the skin Lexus introduced an integrated e‑Axle and silicon‑carbide (SiC) inverter semiconductors to cut electrical losses, lower weight and improve hybrid efficiency and performance.
- The cabin gets a horizontal ES‑inspired dash with a 14‑inch screen, a 12.3‑inch instrument panel, hidden touch controls and a new Sensory Concierge system while structural stiffening and revised suspension aim to boost handling and refinement.
