Appearance
The NX has an elegant yet sporty look. It has a lean, arched roof and a tapered hood. Definition lines flow across the hood and sides. The tall, A-frame grille is accented by a chrome bar. The triangular LED headlights and the lower air inlets follow the grille's shape.
The larger RX is dramatically styled with a steeply raked hood and side windows. The wheels have a tooth-style spoke design. The smooth door panels have a powerful look with a small swell that expands as it rounds over the back fenders. The A-frame grille's mesh pattern shows off tightly stacked linear elements while the powerful air inlets angle inward. Pointed headlights are designed with a bolt-like LED element for a sharp touch.

The Lexus NX 350 is well-appointed with features like parking sensors, auto braking, a digital key, a Mark Levinson premium sound system, a surround-view camera, a wireless device charger, a panoramic glass roof, heated front and rear seats, leather upholstery, a head-up display, adjustable ambient cabin lighting, and more.
