The CL editors have written a lot about how much we love the aggressive design language Lexus has developed. And seldom does a vehicle make such a smooth transition from concept to consumer as the NX has. Find out how it drives!

Last week, Lexus flew me to Canada to experience every flavor of the NX on the glorious roads surrounding Whistler, BC. I even got to spend a few minutes chatting with Chief Engineer Takeaki Kato. Hit the jump for everything I can report about driving the new NX!

Something tells me, he’s not bluffing about the NX being “the world’s best SUV”. Part of the feeling comes from my belief that the NX will be a very important car for Lexus. People want tall cars and they want to save gas. Simple. Making a crossover that doesn’t suck? Not so simple.

Lexus’ littlest crossover got it’s official unveiling at the Beijing Autoshow over the weekend, and with it, we’ve got the details on what exactly Lexus has planned for this car. The biggest news about the NX is the drivetrain, strangely enough.
