Lexus LX F-Sport, NX PHEV set for North American debut

MANILA: Lexus will showcase the all-new LX 600 and NX at the 2021 Los Angeles Auto Show.

Scheduled to arrive at US dealers in the beginning of 2022, the LX 600 stands as the brand’s flagship SUV. With an all-new 3.5-liter V6 twin-turbo gasoline engine, the LX 600 offers seamless power and efficiency. The full-size luxury SUV is supported by a new body-on-frame platform.

Lexus will showcase the first-ever Lexus LX Ultra Luxury and Lexus LX F Sport grades in Los Angeles, which are two of five grades available. The Lexus-first four-seat Ultra Luxury grade pays special attention to the rear passenger space and ambiance. The LX F Sport is set to impress with its unique design touches and handling.

The all-new NX boasts an entirely new platform, making it longer, wider, and taller for more passenger and cargo space. The NX will offer four new powertrains, which include a new 2.5-liter inline four-cylinder engine and the first-ever Lexus plug-in hybrid electric vehicle, the NX 450h+.

The NX delivers a long list of Lexus firsts, including next-generation Lexus Safety System+ 3.0 technology and Digital Latch with Safe Exit Assist to alert the driver and passengers to avoid the risk of accidental door contact with vehicles or cyclists.

New for 2022, the North America-developed Lexus Interface multimedia system allows the LX and NX to seamlessly integrate the following tech enhancements: Voice Assistant with voice recognition, cloud-navigation with Google Points of Interest (POI), and wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto.

With the Lexus Interface User Profile feature, the driver’s personalized settings such as screen mode and preferences such as audio favorites, can be retained in the cloud and accessible on the go in other Lexus Interface equipped vehicles.

The LA Auto Show will commence at the Los Angeles Convention Center from November 19 to 28.
