Default NX 500h performance with updated RX grill

Considering how much better the front grill looks on the RX, am expecting the NX midlife 2024 refresh to have this grill. Also the hybridised version of the 2.4 l turbo as a performance model.

They update after just 2 years? The RX also comes with a spare.

​​​​@anoop ,the NX is a much better car the RX ( if you need me to enumerate why the NX is better just let me know ) and if a spare tire is of concern to you then the is always Modern Spare.

Peace to all, by the way OP , @miop4000 , okay performance NX ... with 6 speed manual option and quad exhausts ? the only reason I ask is because besides different damping and better road- handling management F-Sport offers no performance.

YMMV,

My comment was about the 2023 RX. Are you talking about the 2023 RX too? Motormouth did a preview on YouTube in which they showed it had a spare.

OP wasn't talking about the RX at all , just said NX500h would have a different grill, a grill from RX ..so I am not sure how RX ever got into the thread discussion ? ?

I thought OP was saying NX will get refreshed in 2024 with the 2023 RX grill. I just pointed out in addition to the better grill it also has a spare. But I think I might have misinterpreted what they said, so forgive me.

35% tariffs are due to kick in on products from Canada tomorrow: https://www.washingtonpost.com/busin...gal-challenge/

It sounds like there was an arbitrary bump, that people had expected "only" 25%.

No idea how this will affect RX/NX (and several Toyota models) produced there, if/how Toyota will address the added costs.

As of now, anything covered under the CUSMA deal that trump negotiated is not affected. Major impact is on steel and aluminum, which aren't covered under that trade deal. That's really hurting US stamping/assembly plants as the specialty (for autos) steel and aluminum comes from Canada. Ford is really hurting with all the aluminum in the F150. As for the Toyota/Lexus product, there will be some impact but it's not clear yet how much. Safe to say the price will go up as tariffs are a tax paid by the consumer.
