The 2022 Lexus NX

We are excited to share the all-new 2022 Lexus NX with our Guests for many reasons,” said Martin Gilbert, Director of Lexus Canada. “First, because it sets a new standard in the luxury crossover market with innovations in electrified powertrains, modernized design, intuitive cockpit, driving dynamics and safety. Second, because it offers our Canadian Guests a choice of exciting powertrains – including a more powerful self-charging hybrid, an all-new 2.4L Turbo and the first Lexus plug-in hybrid. And third, because starting in 2022, most of the NX models we sell in Canada will also be built here in Canada.”

Power And Performance

All-New Lexus NX 350h Hybrid Combines Performance and Fuel Economy

With the all-new Lexus NX 350h, which will be the volume model in Canada, Guests can have both great performance and fuel economy. With a combined 239 horsepower (a 20 percent increase over the current model) and impressive manufacturer estimated combined fuel consumption of 6.5 L/100 km (a decrease of 1.0 L/100 km over the current model), the NX hybrid brings a powerful performance that illustrates the brand’s hybrid leadership. Guests will also notice the quicker 0-100 km/h time of 7.4 seconds, which is 1.7 seconds faster compared to the previous generation.
The Lexus Hybrid Drive system pairs the D4-S fuel injection 2.5-litre 4-cylinder gasoline engine with two high-torque electric drive motor-generators for strong acceleration and passing performance. Instead of transfer gears and a driveshaft to the rear wheels, the AWD system employs a second, independent electric motor to drive the rear wheels when it detects it is needed to help maintain optimal traction.

Driving Performance All-New NX 350 2.4L Turbo Engine

In a first for Lexus, the all-new plug-in hybrid vehicle (PHEV) system brings Lexus Electrified to life through performance and the signature quietness of a PHEV model. The NX 450h+ has a manufacturer-estimated 58 km range on electric power only, made possible by the newly developed, high-capacity lithium ion battery. The system achieves the EV output equivalent to a 2.0-litre engine. When combined with the newly developed hybrid transaxle, a 2.5-litre inline 4-cylinder engine delivers on the performance luxury Guests are seeking with an estimated 6.2 second 0-100 km/h time.
A high-output, high-efficiency system designed to reduce power loss when converting from AC power to DC power, results in shorter charging times. Using the maximum charging current of 240V, the Lexus N X plug-in hybrid can be fully charged in approximately two-and a-half hours when equipped with the standard 6.6 kW Expedited Onboard Charger.

All-New NX 250 AWD

The NX 250 provides a naturally aspirated gas engine to round out the options for Guests interested in a 2.5-litre 4-cylinder gas engine with start/stop functionality. With an eight-speed transmission, this AWD model delivers an estimated 203 horsepower and 184 lb. ft. of torque., combined results in 0-100 km/h times of 8.8 seconds.

F SPORT HANDLING: PERFORMANCE AND STYLE

Available with both the turbo and PHEV powertrains, the F SPORT Handling model turns up the driving dynamics with a sporty feel that is amplified by the Active Variable Suspension and front and rear performance dampers. Exclusive to the F SPORT family, Dark Graphite Aluminum ornamentation, a unique meter, sport seats, a newly developed steering wheel, and aluminum pedals and scuff plates all set it apart. With perforated interior trim in Black, White and Circuit Red NuLuxe, the sport-inspired materials are integrated on the seats, steering wheel and centre console.

A dedicated F SPORT grille and front/rear bumpers make a bold first impression. The 20-inch gloss black aluminum wheels are framed by colour-key overfenders increase curb appeal and add to the sporty appearance. Topped with black roof rails and daylight opening garnishes, exclusive F SPORT colours include Redline, Ultra White, Cadmium Orange and Ultra Sonic Blue Mica 2.0.

The all-new 2022 NX will start production in the fourth quarter of 2021.

Lexus NX Design

Powerful Design For The Future

From the refined spindle grille to the new full-width blade tail lamps and LEXUS rear badging, the all-new 2022 Lexus NX emits a powerful message to those approaching the luxury crossover. Made up of tall U-shaped blocks, the spindle grille is designed for a three-dimensional effect and creates a sense of depth while expressing a strong impression. Framed on top by the L-shaped daytime running lights, the optional three-projector headlamps create balance with a more subdued impression.

In the rear, the Lexus logo has been redesigned to create an advanced and modern expression. The use of the L emblem has been replaced by a new, unified LEXUS logo located at the centre of the vehicle. A full-width blade rear lamp (similar to the Lexus UX and IS) and L-Shaped combination lamps on the rear fenders are separated to make the expression unique to the NX. The light bar lamps are constantly illuminated at night to function as a taillight and illuminate the rear brand signature.

Guests can select from a variety of fresh NX colours to suit their taste, including
▪ Nori Green Pearl ▪ Cloudburst Gray ▪ Grecian Water.

For colours exclusive to F SPORT models, the palette includes
▪ Redline ▪ Ultra White ▪ Cadmium Orange ▪ Ultra Sonic Blue Mica 2.0.

Driver Focused Cockpit Design

The NX’s driver-centered cockpit has been meticulously designed with a focus on connecting the driver to the vehicle. The 7-inch Multi-Information Display (MID) and optional 10-inch Head Up Display, both NX firsts, are designed to convey vehicle information, alerts and updates, within the driver’s line of sight. The MID’s single meter layout is made more visible by a high-definition screen. Most driving-related functions are concentrated on the steering wheel to allow for intuitive operation while keeping the driver’s eyes on the road.

Lexus Interface: An All-new Refined, Intuitive And Desirable Connected Multimedia System

For 2022, the Lexus NX also features standard wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto capability. Guests can charge and stream wirelessly with the new optional wireless charger which can be stowed away to maximize storage.

Illuminating the way: Inside And Out

The 2022 NX delivers on the brand’s well-known interior cabin noise reduction with additional updates made to reduce road noise and exterior distractions. Inside, drivers can create an oasis with nature-inspired Thematic Ambient Illumination, an optional feature that bathes the NX interior in a choice of 14 themes. Each has been carefully selected to express ephemeral emotions and evoke nature-inspired feelings, with themes including Rain Forest, Waterfall, and Sunset.

Newly designed standard heated front seats and optional heated rear seats add comfort throughout the cabin. Guests will also notice increased head and legroom with the adoption of the Lexus GA-K platform. Additional storage space has been added in the rear cargo area.

Interior seat and console colours include: ▪ Black ▪ Black with Rich Cream ▪ Palomino ▪ Rioja Red NuLuxe

Black Open Pore wood adds an opulent touch on certain models. Newly developed Black Prism, an advanced looking Piano Black texture, features a three-dimensional fractal that is gradually carved more densely toward the rear so that it changes its expression with transitions of sunlight, creating a high-tech feel.

In a first for the NX, the panoramic moonroof gives both the front and rear passengers the ability to see the sky with just the push of a button. Its smooth gliding opening and closing motion provides easy stargazing or additional airflow on a sunny day.

The following will be added to the current Lexus Safety System + features for NX:

The all-new Digital Latch system enables doors to open smoothly at the touch of a button when entering or exiting the vehicle. And by scanning the environment, Safe Exit Assist alerts the driver and passengers to avoid the risk of accidental contact with vehicles and cyclists, helping ensure safe openings and closings. The new, optional Digital Mirror provides a clear view of obstacles behind the vehicle.

Pre-Collision System

Pre-Collision System – provides the potential to detect a preceding vehicle, pedestrian or cyclist in low-light situations.

Adaptive High-beam System

Road Sign Assist

Road Sign Assist – uses a built-in camera to help provide road sign information in the instrument panel or even on the available Head-Up Display. The system can also alert the driver of certain detected signs that otherwise might have been missed.

Ushering in a new era of luxury, Lexus is embracing electrification, intuitive technology, performance, and design. The all-new 2022 Lexus NX delivers a long list of firsts, including the all-new Lexus Interface multimedia system designed with the North American market in mind.
