To showcase its first PHEV vehicle, Lexus took the NX 450h, lifted it, and added a custom matte bronze paint with offroad wheels. The result speaks for itself. Not only does the PHEV Offroad concept look capable of tackling the Continental Divide, but the overall appearance just works. It won’t lure anybody out of their LX, but it’s nice to know Lexus is thinking about the future of offroading. Hopefully, Lexus is also thinking about producing that lifted NX… Or adding that bronze color to its paint options soon.
