Thanks zema. The NX looks great. For the interior, it would be interested to see if previous rumours are true such as electrical automatic rear folding mirrors, 4 cameras, etc.

At a glance, the NAV screen looks standard. I would think it is about the same size as the one in IS which is 7".

This is another link related to the pictures.

Looks quote impressive so lets summarize

- With RC they learned that spindle grill should be a lot wider in ratio to height, so they found a proper scale and now cars look very aggressive. IS and especially GS look like shy girls compared to RC and NX

- Proper L shaped LED cluster

- LED tubes at the back

- Best looking CUV

- Interior is very funny, good god it looks like so many steps or waves. How many angles are there on that center pillar?

- Talking about pillars did anyone notice that after GS, ES and LS horizontal interiors Lexus is going back to center pillar design on IS, RC and now NX?


Overall awesome design!

Wow, considering the graininess of the photos, it is looking really great.

Love it. Looking forward to the official hi-res pics. I may ditch my RX for this NX.

I think the horizontal design is more muted in the IS and RC because their interiors are smaller and too much horizontal bulk can feel claustrophobic. I get that feeling inside the 3 series, personally.

They do have some elements of the traditional Lexus waterfall dash, mixed with the horizontal shelf:





The NX, though, so far looks like a throwback to the late 90s Lexus interiors with that upright water fall dashboard. I look forward to seeing the rest of it soon!

Could not agree more! But I'm still going to buy this if the F-Sport is only on the 200t for the N.American market as i did with the IS.

I hear you. I'm just happy the NX is finally here (almost )

I'm looking very forward to seeing the specs on both powertrains. I think the NX may be the first time that a Lexus vehicle has debuted two brand new engines at the same time...granted, the 2.5L Hybrid has been available on the IS 300h for a while, just not in the States.

I'm hoping for ~220 hp from the 300h and ~245 hp from the 200t.

What's with all the black trim? Black rear view mirrors, black wheel well cladding, black around the taillights, black around the rear window. Is this an F sport thing?

Black rear view mirrors are really ugly.

That pic is helpful. Didn't get that depth from the original pics.
