Photo Gallery: Updated 2018 Lexus NX 300h at Frankfurt Motor Show

Posted by Kevin on September 12th, 2017

The Frankfurt Motor Show was today, and while Lexus didn’t debut anything new outside of their virtual reality press conference, there were some interesting models on display — let’s start off with the updated NX 300h:

The standard NX has been streamlined in this mid-cycle refresh, and looks pure style in this dark shade — love the contrast with the milk white interior.

(Special thanks to my friends at Motor.es for providing these photos!)

I am considering buying a new NX300 this fall/winter to replace my 2011 RX450h. A lot will depend on the trim packages available and the price of course. But I do want a smaller SUV.

The shape of the new headlight is a lot more like the Rav4, IMO, but overall, this is a nice update.

No V6 ... Our IS reminds me how much I miss the larger engine. I'm waiting for the next-gen ES, before I trade our NX on this refresh ...

Not sure I really care much about the exterior changes. The headlights look more like the Rav4, IMO, and the rest of it is pretty static. I also feel like the spindle is a bit too big at this point.

Bigger infotainment screen is very nice, but I wish they'd done more to spruce up the interior like the GLC.

With that said, Lexus can barely keep them in stock, so maybe they don't need to change much at all!

I'm pretty happy with the exterior changes, in particular for North America the updated non F Sport grill without the overbite that I really disliked.

Overbite is about the only way to put it -- didn't care for the standard NX one bit. That said, I'm not a huge fan of the F SPORT refresh, I see too much RC F and it's not a great fit.

Thanks for posting this, Marco!
Marco
Thanks from Italy, Krew.

Excellent update. I can't wait to see it here in Canada and see what colours it will be available in along with any new interior colours. I'm hoping for a good December to remember sale.

Yeah, thanks to US CAFE standards ... we get the overbite! Looks like it might not be as harsh looking though.

This is truly disappointing news. It's better, but not good enough.

I like the bug screen... Nx looks normal these days

It's a very cool feature, indeed! Creates a lot of light in the interior, especially combined with this classy leather color (perhaps just a bit difficult to keep it that clean, especially with kids) o_O
It's a pity though that the panoroof has no opening function and that it doesn't allow you to put any roofracks (f.ex. to put a skibox for winter holidays)...
