Concept car that NX is based off.

2017 just came out in Oct-Nov, and that was tight lipped about what was new about it. Lexus will likely be the same with 2018.

We might expect to see a refresh for the 2018 or 2019MY since Lexus seems to be on a 3-4 year cycle. Might see a bigger infotainment screen like in the 2017 IS.

Just speculation though...

The picture you list above is actually the concept for NX and I have see that since first NX was out. So far no news out yet and I was in dealership to ask. They said 2018 will likely be similar as before. no major change. maybe 2019 one will have a refresh.

2018 model year for NX will be a mid-model refresh. Slight change in the front and rear and maybe a few small changes on the inside. Lexus safety system and Enform will be standard options for Canadian market.

+1 it's my guess too based on the IS' upgrade and the fact that the RX's 12.3" optional screen makes for too large a gap from the NX's current 7".

Interesting... so this is why we're getting it (finally) up here in Canada?

Might see an NX300 with the detuned V6? Or may be an updated version of the 2.0T producing 255 hp like sources mentioned in the upper coming Supra.

Hope. The dealer told me. A cycle of NX is 10 years and facelift ver is 5 years. Maybe the nx facelift will release in 2019
i want full led rear light. The current brake, tail light, signal light, reverse light look so stupid. I dont know why lexus make them like that. Full led at the front but the rear look so ugly when you brake.
I want a big screen, 7 inch is so small. Can not see 360 camera when it split the screen.
Update new OS like carplay or android auto
Bigger wheel and tires (255/45/r20 front and 285/40/r20 rear)

Really? You think Lexus is going to put a staggered fit 255/285's on an NX? There's just no way. You'd be lucky to see even 245's as an OE option.

Staggered tire setup for a car that is primarily FWD makes a lot of sense...

In addition to the updated front fascia and rear lights I also hope for an upgrade to the transmission, to 8 speed and an increase to the output of the 2.0 turbo engine.

Dealer is misinformed. NX is on the RAV4 platform which, like many Toyota/Lexus shared-unibody platforms, is typically on a 6 year lifespan. In addition, at the speed the way technology, quality, features, fuel economy, and design are advancing in the car industry, a 10-year lifecycle is a death-sentence for the NX - a near impossibility seeing how hot the compact CUV market is not only in N.A. but globally.

As dchar and no1SomeGuy posted, staggered setups are for RWD platforms, the NX it is not. Expect same wheel/tire size offerings throughout its current lifecycle.
