New Lexus NX midsize SUV for SA soon

THE new Lexus NX midsize SUV is set to land in South Africa soon, and the premium Japanese carmaker has released pricing before the launch.

The vehicle will initially be available in two flavours, with the normally aspirated 2.5-litre 250 EX model retailing at R860 000 and the 2.4-litre turbocharged F-Sport variant commanding R1 075 400. There’s a full line-up of hybrid models on the way later this year.

The NX 250’s 2.5-litre motor powers the front wheels only and produces 152kW and 239Nm, while the allwheel drive F Sport’s 2.4T unit is good for 205kW and 430Nm.

The new Lexus NX also introduces a new 35cm touchscreen infotainment system. Standard features on the base model include 18-inch alloy wheels, LED headlights with auto high-beam, dual-zone climate control and powered and heated front seats.

Both models are sold with a seven-year/105000km warranty and full maintenance plan.
