the front overhang is quite well resolved.

it is possible because of the low front wheel/fender ratio. it is much harder to do well on a sedan as the ES.
Great job by Lexus. The exterior design is stellar, they have really nailed down their design language, and continues from where the new IS started. It’s the best looking Lexus SUV.
I love the new infotainment, it looks very modern, and they’ve even thought about future proofing it with OTA updates. It’s also great that they’ve branded it as Lexus Interface, somehow it evokes Intersect by Lexus as well. I think they’ve made a mistake by offering two screen sizes, the 14 inch screen should be standard.
The interior does look nice, with interior design moves we saw in the Lexus LF-1 concept. But again, they somehow forgot to design the passenger side. You can see that they’re not proud of it in their marketing photos, they focus on the driver side only whereas most marketing of car interiors show the entire front cabin. See the 3rd photo in this Instagram post.
No exposed exhaust on any of the models.I think it looks great inside and out one question I haven’t seen the exhaust on the NX 350 do they still have exhaust pipes? It’s the one thing I hate about the Audis where they don’t have those on some models just looks bad. I don’t mind it on hybrid but regular should have it. Maybe they are there and I don’t see it. The only other thing which we always say about Lexus 0-60 times are always behind the competition. Now maybe we have a future F performance version (doubt a Full F) which would help but they are always behind in that department. For the company as a whole the NX is a major success but hell just my two cents on being nit picky. It will sell like hot cakes tho and a great entry car!

Thank you! I was expecting/hoping for more, but it’s exactly the same as the RAV4 Prime.450h+ 302 horsepower
Yeah I don’t like that. Might just be me but I just think the car misses something not having exhaust pipes.No exposed exhaust on any of the models.
Yeah apparently it has 2 miles less in all electric range and is going to be a bit slower bc the NX is a little heavier. I’m hoping there are dramatic improvements to the way it handles to make up for the carry over power train. Overall I think it’s great and going to sell very well.Thank you!

Only disappointment is 6.8s 0-60 for 350. I don't really understand it
I have a hard time believing that, personally. I’m guessing it’s going to be a bit heavier than the RAV4 Limited, so let’s say 3,850lbs?
Full time AWD.
317 lb-ft of torque.
If won’t surprise me to see the NX 350 in 5.8 - 6.2 seconds. For what it’s worth, Lexus told us they aren’t even done tuning the engine yet, which is why the numbers are estimated.
3,700 lb ES 350 with 50 less lb-ft of torque, wheel spin from FWD (worse launch) and soft gearing does 0-60 in 6 seconds flat.
