Where are you finding that information on the Lexus site? When I look, I'm still only seeing information about the 2017 RX and 2017 ES.

I have complained about this many times and even commented to the Lexus Advisory Board in the past. I used to get surveys regularly from the advisory board but nothing in many months. It would appear Lexus no longer wants owners opinions.
I hate the touch pad so much my next Lexus will not have Navigation. That's if i buy another Lexus, I'm shopping elsewhere at this time since my lease is almost up.

I suspect that Lexus is now moving toward a similar naming scheme for vehicles with turbo engines. Thus, they are saying that, for the NX300t it would take a 3.0 liter non-turbo engine to provide the same power as the 2.0 liter turbo engine in the vehicle.

When Lexus has named its hybrid vehicles, the number in the name is supposed to represent an estimate of what the size would be of an ICE that would yield the same power as the combined ICE and electric power output of the hybrid. For example, with the RX450h, they are saying that it would take a 4.5 liter ICE to give the same horsepower as the 3.5 liter ICE plus the electric engine that the car has. With the ES300h, they are saying that it would take a 3.0 liter ICU to give the same horsepower as the 2.5 liter ICE plus the electric engine the car has.

You are correct. In my haste to type the answer, I just started, without much thought, typing an "h" or a "t", after the number of a hybrid or turbo model. I've corrected that error in my earlier post.

Summary that I find new to myself:
New F-Sport Exterior/Interior Option
The F SPORT package exclusively offers perforated Black or Circuit Red NuLuxe, each accentuated by metallic trim. The F SPORT seats feature black accent strips with perforated NuLuxe seat inserts and smooth bolsters. Genuine leather in Crème or Black distinguishes the Luxury package, which also trims the cabin with Linear Black Shadow Wood.
Apple Integration
For Apple iPhone® users, Siri® Eyes Free Mode puts select Siri technology at your service. Siri lets you call contacts, select and play music from iTunes®, get turn-by-turn navigation through Siri and Apple maps, and more. Those with a Qi-compatible smartphone or other device can leave the charging cord home; the NX offers an available Qi wireless charging tray inside the console box.
Lexus Enform Keeps You Connected
Complimentary now for the first ten years on all 2018 Lexus models, Lexus Enform Safety Connect includes an Emergency Assistance Button (SOS), Roadside Assistance, Automatic Collision Notification, and Stolen Vehicle Notification. The Lexus Enform response center operates 24/7/365.
