Lexus NX partial improvement lineup expansion, new grade “OVERTRAIL” added, released on February 29, 2024

Lexus will make some improvements to its new crossover SUV, the NX, and will add the OVERTRAIL to its lineup, which will go on sale on February 29, 2024.

About the new Lexus NX partial improvement 2024 model

In line with the change in specifications and the rise in raw material prices, the manufacturer’s suggested retail price will be revised.

The body color “Sonic Copper” is available. Sonic Copper is a symbolic color that Lexus has pursued to express a metallic texture. Copper is also called red copper. Lexus’ unique Sonic technology combines the expression of a metallic texture with a rich harmony of colors to create a powerful and elegant look that will stand the test of time.

The interior color is “Hazel.” This popular interior color, previously only available on the “Version L,” is now also available on the “F Sport.” The brown interior color is stylish.

“Advanced Park” is now standard equipment on the NX350 “F SPORT” . Using cameras and sonar, it controls steering, accelerator and brake operations, and assists with parking until the vehicle is completely parked while monitoring the surroundings. After stopping next to the space where you want to park, press the Advanced Park switch to confirm the parking position. Then, when you press the start switch, the system will assist with steering, accelerator and brake operations while monitoring the surroundings to complete the parking (shift operation is manual). In addition to parallel parking, exiting and perpendicular parking in parking lots separated by lined parking lots, by registering the parking position in advance, it can also assist with parking in parking lots without lined parking lots or in environments with no adjacent vehicles.

Lexus NX Partial Improvement 2024 Model New Grade “OVERTRAIL”

The new grade “OVERTRAIL” adopted for the Lexus ” GX ” is also newly adopted for the NX. It is an off-road oriented model. Equipped with off-road parts. The vehicle height has also been increased and the tires have been changed.

The exterior design features black-colored items for the grille, window frames, door handles, outer mirrors, and roof rails, creating a sharp impression. The off-road-friendly 18-inch all-terrain tires for the “OVERTRAIL” and a ground clearance 15mm higher than the standard model enhance off-road performance.

There are seven exterior colors available, including the new Moon Desert color exclusive to the “OVERTRAIL.”

The interior color “Monolith” is exclusive to the “OVERTRAIL”. A new coordination combines a black base with a low-saturation monolith, and natural-colored ornament panels are used. This creates a high-quality off-road space.

Lexus NX Partial Improvement 2024 Model Body Rigidity Further Strengthened, Suspension Tuning

Body rigidity has been further strengthened and the suspension has been tuned to improve handling stability and ride comfort . Engine noise has been reduced and drivability has been improved, resulting in a comfortable driving feel and improved quietness.

To improve the directness of steering and realize “driving exactly as you want,” braces have been added to suppress deformation of the rear body, improving body rigidity. At the same time, the suspension tuning has been refined through extensive driving, achieving a high level of ride comfort.

In pursuit of a comfortable ride that allows the driver to feel one with the car, and to achieve smooth starts and linear vehicle speed control in response to accelerator operation, improvements have been made to the driving control (NX450h+, NX350h, NX350) and the front/rear torque distribution at the start of driving has been revised (NX350).NV specifications for the body and engine suspension systems have been revised to improve cabin quietness.

Lexus NX Partial Improvement 2024 Model: Disappointing Points

It seems that the “12.3-inch full LCD meter” will not be available in this improvement . Since it is adopted in the lower class “LBX”, it will likely be changed in the next annual improvement.

About the new Lexus NX partial improvement 2023 model

With this latest improvement, aiming to further deepen the driving experience unique to Lexus, “Lexus Driving Signature,” body rigidity has been further strengthened based on the Always On concept, and the suspension has also been optimally set to further bring out the car’s potential. For the exterior, the high-mounted stop has been changed to a surface-emitting type. For the interior, the color scheme has been renewed, and to create a more glamorous and high-quality space, the door trim, glove box, and passenger-side console side panel are the same color as the interior theme, and the color scheme has been renewed (excluding black and the black exclusive to “F SPORT”).

The NX350 has improved drivability by improving starting response and torque feeling, and changing the engine and transmission control. 20-inch standard tires are available on the “version L” and “F SPORT” models (manufacturer option). The aluminum wheels on the “version L” are painted gray metallic, while those on the “F SPORT” are painted black.

The functions of the “Lexus Safety System +,” which contributes to a safe and comfortable drive , have been expanded, and the pre-crash safety’s low-speed acceleration suppression function, which helps avoid collisions or mitigate damage at low speeds, has been enhanced . In addition to pedestrians, cyclists, and vehicles directly in front of the vehicle, it can also recognize structures such as walls, making it suitable for a wider range of situations . Proactive Driving Assist (PDA), which provides unobtrusive driving support , now includes steering and deceleration support for pedestrians, cyclists, and parked vehicles, deceleration support for preceding vehicles , and deceleration support for curves, as well as deceleration support when turning right or left at signalized intersections .

The NX450h+ “F SPORT” is also equipped with Lexus Teammate Advanced Park (with remote function), which is compatible with various parking scenarios such as forward parking in parallel parking, backing out, and forward exiting, and the Parking Support Brake (surrounding stationary objects) [PKSB], which mitigates collisions caused by mistaking the brake for the accelerator and contributes to reducing damage . (The NX450h+ “version L” and NX350h are already equipped.)

A dashcam (front and rear) is installed (manufacturer option) . Camera footage from the front and rear of the vehicle is constantly recorded in memory. Recorded footage can be played back on the display in the center of the instrument panel, allowing for quick review. Video data can be transferred to a smartphone or USB memory for easy portability. The “digital inner mirror with front and rear recording function” was indeed adopted in the new Toyota “Harrier,” so it is likely to be standardized. It will likely be chosen because it eliminates the need for an aftermarket dashcam. I also own a “Harrier” and use the “digital inner mirror with front and rear recording function.” It has high resolution, is very easy to see, and is very user-friendly, so I highly recommend it.

In addition to improving system efficiency at highways, intermittent engine operation is enabled even at high vehicle speeds, improving high-speed fuel economy.

Key Features of the Second-Generation Next-Generation Lexus Safety System+ for the 2021-2022 Fully Redesigned Lexus NX

All vehicles come standard with the second-generation “Next Generation Lexus Safety System+.” It also features the advanced driving assistance technology “Lexus Teammate Advanced Park.” Laser radar and cameras are used to ensure excellent recognition performance and reliability, and the collision avoidance support systems PCS, LDA, and AHB are packaged together. It ensures collision avoidance and damage mitigation performance that is compatible even at high speeds. It also comes equipped with “Pre-Collision Safety,” which can detect bicycles during the day and pedestrians at night, and “Lane Tracing Assist (LTA),” which assists with steering operations necessary to keep the vehicle in its lane when “Radar Cruise Control,” which maintains a constant distance from the vehicle ahead, is activated. Software updates over the air (OTA) allow software updates to improve the performance of advanced safety equipment without the need to visit a dealership.

Pre-crash Safety (PCS) with pedestrian detection detects obstacles ahead using laser radar and a camera, and if there is a risk of collision, it first alerts the driver with a buzzer and a display to urge them to brake. If the driver notices the risk of a collision and applies the brakes, powerful brake assist is activated. Even if the driver does not apply the brakes, for example, if the vehicle is traveling at 30 km/h toward a stopped vehicle, the automatic brakes will slow the vehicle by approximately 30 km/h to help avoid a collision. The automatic brakes operate over a wide speed range, from approximately 10 to 80 km/h, and cover more than 80% of actual rear-end collisions. For pedestrians, the PCS automatic brakes are now also activated at night, within the same speed range of approximately 10 to 80 km/h .

The Road Sign Assist (RSA)　 has expanded its detection targets, and now also reads major roadside traffic signs such as “speed limit,” “stop sign,” “no entry,” and “no crossing” and displays them on the instrument panel.

The Lane Departure Alert (LDA) camera recognizes the white and yellow lines in the driving lane, and if it detects the possibility of lane departure, it alerts the driver with a buzzer and a visual display, helping to avoid collisions caused by lane departure.

Adaptive High Beam Assist (AHS)　 is a system that precisely controls the on/off of LEDs to automatically block only the areas of light that would otherwise hit preceding or oncoming vehicles. This increases the frequency with which you can drive with your high beams on, ensuring excellent nighttime visibility.

Radar Cruise Control　 : This vehicle employs radar cruise control, which uses millimeter-wave radar to detect the distance between vehicles and the vehicle ahead, and adjusts its speed to match the speed of the vehicle ahead within a set speed range, allowing it to maintain a certain distance while following. Millimeter-wave radar and a camera detect lane changes by the vehicle ahead, allowing for smoother acceleration and deceleration control. Toyota aims for the ultimate goal of a mobility society: zero traffic fatalities and injuries. Toyota is researching and developing various safety equipment and systems based on its “Integrated Safety Concept,” striving to “develop safer vehicles and technologies,” and strengthening a wide range of traffic safety initiatives through “participation in traffic environment improvement” and “traffic safety awareness activities for people.”

Lane Tracing Assist (LTA) Lane Tracing Assist (LTA), featured in the new Lexus LS series, is being adopted for the first time in the next-generation Toyota Safety Sense P. When driving on a highway or expressway and radar cruise control is activated, turning on the Lane Tracing Assist (LTA) switch provides steering assistance necessary to keep the vehicle in its lane.

Leading vehicle departure notification function　 If you are stopped behind a vehicle in front of you at a traffic light or in a traffic jam and do not notice the vehicle in front of you starting to move, a buzzer will sound and a message will appear on the display to notify you.

Lexus New “NX” Full Model Change 2021-2022 Model Preventive Safety Equipment

New functions added: Intelligent Parking Assist 2 (with collision warning function + back guide monitor function + voice guidance function).

Intelligent Clearance Sonar (Parking Support Brake) is a system that helps mitigate collisions caused by accidentally pressing the accelerator or pressing it too hard, thereby reducing damage. The “Clearance Sonar” displays and sounds a buzzer when approaching stationary objects while parking, and now has an added function to mitigate contact with stationary objects. The sonar can also accurately detect glass at convenience stores and other locations. When driving at low speeds (below 15km/h), if a stationary object is detected in the direction of travel, the hybrid system output is reduced, and if the distance becomes even shorter, the brakes are applied automatically.

Drive Start Control　 This suppresses sudden acceleration when shifting, helping to reduce damage in the event of a collision.

Emergency brake signal (hazard lights flashing type) When you apply the brakes suddenly, the hazard lights will automatically flash.

Digital inner mirror: Images from a camera mounted on the rear of the vehicle are displayed on the rearview mirror.

By installing a dedicated application on a digital key　smartphone, the smartphone can be used as a digital key for vehicles that have this function. As long as the smartphone is with you, you can lock, unlock, and start the engine without operating the screen, and even if you own multiple cars that are compatible with the digital key, you can operate them with just one smartphone. Digital keys can also be transferred between smartphones, making it easy to lend and borrow vehicles between family and friends in distant locations.

Advanced Park Remote function: Operation guidance is provided by the screen display and voice/buzzer sounds, and assistance is provided for reversing into a target parking position confirmed on the screen or for exiting from parallel parking by operating the steering wheel, shift position, accelerator and brake.In addition, a dedicated smartphone app is available, allowing parking to be performed remotely from outside the vehicle.

Lexus’ new “NX” full model change 2021-2022 model T-Connect DCM package comes standard on all vehicles.

Equipped with a T-Connect SD navigation system and DCM, it offers three years of free car monitoring, map-on-demand, agent, and operator services .

Only the 9.8-inch display audio is different from the higher grades in terms of the LCD meter (this can be changed as an option). Interior illumination is not included as a standard feature. The Mark Levinson Premium Surround Sound System, the Forward Emergency Steering Assist (FCTA) to help avoid head-on collisions, and the Lane Change Assist cannot be equipped.

Version L equipment

The exterior features triple LED headlights. 20-inch aluminum wheels are standard equipment. Genuine leather seats, driver’s seat position memory, and ventilation for the driver and passenger seats are also included. Heated seats are also included in the rear seats. Wood grain is used for the door panels, etc. Hazel (brown) is available as an interior color. (Version L only) Electric reclining and folding rear seats are standard equipment. A head-up display is also standard equipment.

F SPORT equipment

The exterior adopts an exclusive exterior design for the “F SPORT”. In terms of driving performance, it adopts a performance damper and NAVI AI-AVS (electronically controlled suspension). A head-up display is standard equipment.

Points to note

Triple LED headlights and AHS are optional. Electric reclining and folding rear seats are optional. “Mark Levinson” Premium Surround Sound System is not available.

NX450h

The NX450h+ is available only as an AWD (4WD) model. The NX450h+ “F SPORT” is more expensive, but the NX450h+ “version L” comes standard with optional triple LED headlights and heated rear seats, making it the top-of-the-line model, but it is also expensive due to the various options that come as standard.

Points to note

The panoramic roof cannot be equipped. The Advanced Park Remote function is only available on the NX450h + “version L”. It is strange that it can be selected on the NX350h “F SPORT” but not on the NX450h + “F SPORT”. It uses the same engine and motor as the RAV4 PHV, but this one uses high-octane fuel. It does not support quick charging. It does not support the DC external power supply system that supplies electricity to the entire house.

What grade do you recommend?

The 2WD models of the “NX350h “F SPORT”” and “NX350h “version L”” will likely be the most popular. These two will undoubtedly be the most popular due to their hybrid grade and the freedom of option selection. The 2WD “NX250 “version L”” will likely be even more popular. It is the only gasoline model and its exterior design and equipment are almost impeccable, so it will likely be popular.
