The new Lexus NX: a different steering wheel, and for the first time, a fast-charging hybrid #photo

Lexus has refreshed its popular sports crossover, the NX, with significant updates to its electrified powertrain systems. The most notable change is the introduction of a larger lithium-ion battery in the plug-in hybrid NX 450h+, increasing its electric range by nearly 40% and allowing it to travel over 100 kilometers on electricity alone without engaging the gasoline engine. This model now supports fast charging via direct current (DC), enabling a charge from 10% to 80% in approximately 30 minutes. The updated NX also features improved performance, including enhanced acceleration and towing capacity up to 1,500 kilograms. Other models like the NX 350h received lighter batteries and improved electrical components. Design changes include a new version of Lexus’s signature grille, reduced air resistance, and more digital controls inside the vehicle, such as replacing physical switches with digital interfaces. The car also includes ergonomic improvements like a lower driver seat, smaller steering wheel, and advanced suspension developed at the Nürburgring.
