Lethalstrike 5,623 Supercharged February 24, 2021 Finally they dumped the super outdated infotainment system. This looks pretty similar to Mercedes's MBUX, - Touch pads on both sides of the steering wheel (I assume left pad controls instrument cluster, right pad controls the touch screen on the centre console) - Voice activated command? - Much bigger touchscreen on the centre console and what looks like an all-new infotainment interface Exterior wise, pretty much expected of Lexus so no big surprises here. At least I still can easily tell the difference between UX, NX & RX at first glance. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Heartbreakid 1,984 5th Gear February 25, 2021 Looks great. The dashboard with the huge LCD screen looks much cohesive together. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
t0y0ta 5,391 Supercharged February 25, 2021 Video was accidentally leaked around yesterday afternoon (night time in USA) - within couple hours they forced Youtube to take down all the postings. I watched it just before it disappeared. But too late as many copies now in other streaming sites and screenshots also. A bit disappointed in the looks (too similar to current) and interior (too Toyota-ish; not elegant enough). Would have prefered the looks to be a lifted version of the new IS. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kobayashiGT 18,457 Moderator February 25, 2021 WOAH! I like how the infotainment looks! But hor, the rear light a bit ugly in my opinion. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Carbon82 225,412 Moderator February 25, 2021 I would say the new NX is quite well proportioned, and the design element are more cohesive. The tail light is simple and elegant looking, although some may say it look BMW-ish or Audi-is. The only concern I have is with the button and spacing on the center console. As a driver, it will be challenging to make adjustments using the relatively small and closely spaced button (physical or touch sensitive) while driving. 6 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It's still not too bad lah, I still can see they kept aircon temp control knobs. Everyone is migrating to touch screens and cutting down on physical buttons for that sleek look, new C-Class, Porsche Taycan, Ferrari Roma etc. To hell with tactile feedback from physical switches/knobs, in which Audi used to be very proud of last time. On a Tesla, you want to pay extra for physical buttons on the steering wheel or centre console also don't have! 😂 Edited February 25, 2021 by Lethalstrike 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Unfortunately is because even for simple things such as climate control etc, we will prefer to have physical buttons. No need to take our eyes off the road. Fortunately is because accessing the majority of the functions from a modern infotainment system, the large touchscreen is also the most intuitive since everyone is already used to smartphones.

Would have prefered the looks to be a lifted version of the new IS. the IS is more of facelift right? this NX is like a new model overall, new interior altogether i do like how the DRL is now integrated into the headlight. The cutout fish hook DRL (current NX and pre facelift IS) in the past looks weird Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
theory_87 304 3rd Gear February 25, 2021 Finally ditch that cumbersome infotainment system. Grill would have been nicer if they use LS weave design. The rear reminds me of infiniti QX50 thou Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
