A prototype of the next-generation Lexus NX crossover has been spotted while testing in Colorado — here are a selection of photos from Motor1:
The Lexus NX shares its platform with the Toyota RAV4, and the similarity shows even through the camouflage — the proportions are near identical, though the NX looks to affect a more sloped rear line. There’s also a generous helping of the UX crossover in the front design, though that’s hardly a bad thing.
The expectation has been for the next-generation NX crossover to debut some time this year, though who can really tell what the coming months will bring?
To me, these NX spy shots looks different from the mystery CUV shown with the Direct4 announcement a month ago.
NX:
Mystery CUV:
Between the two:
NX:
A pillar is more swept back
Curved greenhouse and roofline
More rounded fenders
Spindle goes into the bottom of the fender with no open space
Mystery CUV:
A pillar is more upright
Roofline is more flat
Fender flares are more square and bulbous
Open horizontal area below spindle
