The SUV that made history as regards electrified cars, was presented in the new version. Let's find out together.

For the uninitiated the # Lexus NX was truly the vehicle that electrified the whole world. Since it was introduced in 2014, we are talking about a car that has sold as many as 170,000 units.

The majority of these cars sold were also bought by people who were not previously Lexus customers and this means that the product is stronger than any loyalty.

To keep up with the times, Lexus has decided to completely redesign the car. The style has remained unchanged and in fact the human-centered approach has not changed. The car will be launched within the last quarter of this year.

It allows you to perfectly combine dynamic agility with advanced technology. We are talking about a car that has been conceived to satisfy all the needs coming from every single area of the world.

We are therefore talking about electrification, but also about design and driving performance.

As you enter the car, you immediately notice how the cockpit has been designed specifically for the driver in a compact and intuitive way. This car has been built and designed using very advanced digital modeling forms that require and have demanded a high standard in terms of quality.

Not only was the pleasure of the eyes observed, but also the five senses in wholeness.

Compared to the previous version, the length has increased by just 2 centimeters, the wheelbase by 3 and the width by two. The height has also changed but by just 5 mm. In this way the car looks all in all identical to the one previously available but now the space is greater for the rear seat passengers.

The front grille now has stronger play in the term of the design. The frame is thin and therefore accentuates the shape of the grille itself. The sensations that are transmitted are therefore of strength and agility.

The alloy wheels can reach 20 inches and this is certainly an interesting fact for all lovers of sportiness and design declined to sportiness itself. Going back inside the cockpit, however, you immediately notice how everything is designed to envelop the driver. Lexus has made it possible to touch the steering wheel that can be customized to operate the functions preferred by the driver.

The passenger compartment was therefore designed by curving towards the driver and the center console. On it there is an important multimedia screen, which returns the main necessary information.

In terms of comfort, a car has been created that is synonymous with classy lounge. The materials are of the highest quality and look great as well as feel good. The attention to detail is clearly excellent. In terms of engines we have new 4-cylinder petrol engines for Eastern Europe and Russia which allow us to give the car great potential. We are talking about the NX 350 with 279 horsepower in a 2400 cubic centimeter engine with turbocharger and 8-speed automatic transmission and permanent all-wheel drive.

There is also clearly a plug-in hybrid version with 63 km of autonomy in electric mode. All this allows the car to sprint from 0 to 100 km per hour in 7.7 seconds and also have a reduction in emissions of about 10%.
