For Your Consideration: The 2022 Lexus NX
The Cutting Edge ’22 Lexus NX
The all-new 2022 Lexus NX is creating a buzz around Las Vegas. One of the most popular vehicles in our lineup just received an extensive update built from the ground up with new levels of luxury, technology, performance, and efficiency.
Still not convinced that the all-new 2022 Lexus NX will be your next luxury SUV? Let’s take a look at five reasons why it should be:
DESIGN: The new NX was developed using the Lexus Driving Signature as its foundation and benchmark. From that point, the NX’s design combines many familiar elements from the outgoing NX with new shapes and lines throughout the body. The Spindle Grille is enlarged not just for presence, but to increase airflow into the engine compartment. The new rear design fuses a full-width blade tail lamp unit with a new Lexus badge – a design that you will see on future models.
POWER CHOICES: There are four engines to choose from. The model lineup starts with the NX 250 and its new 203-horsepower 2.5-liter engine. This is designed as an entry point for the NX lineup. The next step is the NX 350 with its all-new 275-horsepower 2.4-liter turbocharged engine. Performance is the primary focus of this model, with a tested 0-60 MPH time of 6.6 seconds. This leads us to our hybrid model, the NX 350h. This powertrain combines a 2.5-liter engine with an electric motor and battery pack, good for a combined 239 horsepower. This driveline can return up to 36 MPG.
NX 450h+ PLUG-IN: We mentioned there are four engine choices for the all-new 2022 NX. This is our finest one yet! For the first time, there is now a plug-in hybrid driveline available on a Lexus Along with a 2.5-liter engine, the electric drive system can be plugged to add an estimated 36 miles of battery-fueled range. The NX 450h+ adds a Predictive Efficient Drive system that combines the navigation system with a way to read how you actually drive your vehicle. It can assist in knowing when you stop the vehicle, as well as how you accelerate and cruise.
SAFETY AND DRIVER ASSISTANCE TECHNOLOGY: To match its new looks, the all-new 2022 NX is now equipped with the enhanced Lexus Safety System+ 3.0. Standard across all models, this suite of driver assistance features includes new elements such as Risk Avoidance Emergency Steer, Left Turn Oncoming Vehicle Detection/Braking, Right/Left Turn Oncoming Pedestrian Detection/Braking, Oncoming Vehicle Detection, and Curve Speed Management. This enhanced package is designed to provide next-level protection from other drivers across the Las Vegas area.
LEXUS INTERFACE: The most eagerly awaited feature that will debut in the all-new 2022 NX is the Lexus Interface next-generation infotainment system. This touch-capacitive system comes standard in a new 9.8-inch screen, with a larger 14-inch version available. You can still control some functions through a set of dials and buttons are still available for the audio system and the climate control.
