Interesting to hear they re-invested time and effort tackling NVH and fuel economy to improve them on the NX. It sounds like the 2.5L hybrid engine in the NX is not exactly the same as that in existence in the Camry, Avalon, and ES, hence we can expect very close mileage numbers compared to its sedan counterparts.

    Yep. Noticed that and my first thought was how refined and responsive this engine will be - heck it's Lexus and they will have taken close to 10 years to develop and launch this engine! :)
