Just "spotted" the base model (most likely North American version) NX on a Lexus sponsored ad.

Maybe they didn't wanna reveal it yet, as I wasn't able to find anything on the 2018 model on the official website. But anyways, here it is, enjoy!

 

Hate that nose on the base. Why can't Lexus just release it like the actual base where the nose isn't shaped like a boat.

 

Before the refresh (2017 and earlier), I believe it was rumored due to the CAFE regulations, which is a thing in the N.A.

 

Agree hate the base front end. I was at dealer today for service. The NX base in showroom absolutely looks like something is missing, sitting next to IS, ES, LX, GS, etc.
Doubt anyone will notice my 'dated' FSport front end has been revised.
Its the back end that looks blah.
I am thinking the 18 will look much better with wider tail lamps, but not yet seen good pic.
