This unveiling took place on September 1, 2025, and the vehicle is set to launch globally by the close of 2026. The NX, introduced in 2014 as Lexus' inaugural compact crossover SUV, has solidified its position as one of the brand's core SUV offerings. As of the end of July 2026, cumulative sales of the NX had reached around 1.9 million units, distributed across more than 90 countries and regions.\n\nThe latest iteration of the NX aims to enhance driving performance through an all-new hybrid system while maintaining the balance of sportiness and utility that has defined previous generations. The design has been refreshed both externally and internally, complemented by new technologies that promise a more personalized driving and passenger experience.\n\nThe development of the NX was guided by the philosophy \"DISCOVER—Imitate No One,\" emphasizing innovation and the creation of distinctive customer experiences. This theme was further reflected in the development objective \"DISCOVER YOUR EDGE,\" which encourages customers to explore new possibilities and enrich their everyday experiences. Chief Engineer Kunihiko Endo highlighted the NX's mission to transcend the conventional aspects of transportation, aiming to inspire drivers to explore and feel an expansion of their world and possibilities.\n\nWith an emphasis on electrification, performance, design, flexibility, and comfort, the new NX preserves its distinctive character while introducing advancements. It features a horizontal interior design to create an open and relaxed atmosphere, alongside a \"Sensory Concierge\" system that personalizes lighting and fragrance to enhance occupants' comfort. This hybrid powertrain not only boosts performance but also offers enhanced charging flexibility. Ultimately, Lexus envisions the NX as a vehicle that unlocks new possibilities for drivers, delivering fresh experiences and excitement on their journeys.",
