Understeer Control "ACA" Standard on All Models



The key focus of this Lexus NX refinement is the enhancement of its safety features. Specifically, the standard "Lexus Safety System+" pre-collision safety package has been upgraded.

In Pre-Collision Safety, the performance of the monocular camera and millimeter-wave radar has been improved. It can now detect cyclists during the day and pedestrians at night. Additionally, features such as "Lane Tracing Assist," which provides steering assistance to keep the vehicle centered within its lane when using Radar Cruise Control on highways, have been incorporated.

Furthermore, Active Cornering Assist (ACA), which suppresses understeer that can occur when accelerating through a corner, is now standard on all models.






For body colors, a new optional finish, Blazing Carnelian Contrast Layering, has been introduced, inspired by the rich hue of red earth and its vibrant appearance in sunlight. Inside, the "version L" grade features a Black & Accent Sunflare Brown interior, while a new Black & Accent Master Yellow is available exclusively for the "F SPORT" model.

The powertrain options include either a 2.5-liter inline four-cylinder hybrid or a 2.0-liter inline four-cylinder turbo. Pricing for the hybrid model, the "NX300h," ranges from 5,057,345 to 5,977,309 yen. The 2.0-liter turbo "NX300" is priced from 4,425,055 to 5,345,018 yen.
