Lexus RX And NX SUVs Updated For 2019
There is a range of updates that can be found in the newest RX and NX SUVs by Japanese luxury carmaker Lexus. For the 2019 model year, the large and the mid-size SUVs, the Lexus RX and the NX, respectively, will receive a range of new trim and technology.
Lexus’ three-tier trim structure will dominate the changes in the SUVs. The structure gives customers the option to choose a base model (RX or NX), a mid-range model (F Sport), and a top-of-the-line (Takumi).
The Lexus RX, the base model, will come with 18-inch alloy wheels, leather upholstery, heated and cooled front seats, an eight-inch infotainment system, and front and rear parking sensors. There’s only one engine available for this range and it’s going to be a 3.5-liter V-6 petrol-hybrid that makes 308 horsepower and is fuel efficient at a rate of 37.4mpg.
The RS F Sport models add a heated steering wheel, adaptive suspension, a powered hands-free tailgate, an aluminum pedal set, F Sport steering wheel and a revised grille. It has a starting price of £55,200 ($69,800), sans options. The range-topping Takumi models, on the other hand, will come with a hefty price tag of £61,700 ($78,000). That price will get you power-folding and heated rear seats, a head-up display, a 15-speaker Mark Levinson stereo, blind spot monitoring system, automatic LED headlights and memory settings for the electric seats, steering wheel, and door mirrors.
The new NX has the same trim levels as the RX with the base model arriving with standard features such as 18-inch alloys, heated front seats, and an eight-inch touchscreen display. A 2.0-liter turbocharged four-cylinder petrol-hybrid that produces 192 horsepower will be its powertrain. Economy fuel rating is pegged at 54.3mpg.
Finally, the NX F Sport has a starting price of £41,500 ($52,530) and adds an F-Sport steering wheel, a set of F-Sport 18-inch alloy wheels, a range of F-Sport exterior styling details, LED headlamps, a powered tailgate and leather upholstery.
The Takumi trim is priced at £45,500 (57,590) and comes with a panoramic roof, heated and ventilated front seats, a head-up display, a 14-speaker Mark Levinson stereo, blind spot monitoring, and a 360-degree view camera.
