Nice overall little improvements. The Nav screen and latest mapping, new RTI are welcome improvements. Most notably is the suspension tuning I've complained about since its debut. The current ride is pretty jiggly.

I want to see what the non-F-Sport exterior looks like.

Very nice updating. The front and rear styling are much cleaner, and easier on the eye. The best part are the new tailpipes. The current ones are too small and pinched. The rear now looks like the vehicle has some power to it, although the liberal use of black plastic still looks cheap.
Agree, name change is lame.
The 2.0t felt plenty strong to me in everyday driving.
Gear shifter is still on the wrong side of the center console.
Gold rims on hybrid are tacky.
F-Sport rims look weak, like the wheel covers or rims on the current Rav4.
I'd still consider the NX to be on top of my SUV shopping list. Overall, a very attractive offering at a low price point.

Ask and I shall receive! Nice JDR76.

Looks good. Honestly looks like a mini RX.. folks might line-up to toss their money at it.

I noted some other refinements like the chrome tips around the the window switches, less climate control buttons with the toggle switches, Auto folding mirrors, and the View button, so it may have the 360 monitor like the RX.

Where did you read that? I haven't been able to find that information. I would love that.

this old article says the u.s. car front has to be different (worse) than europe's due to u.s. light truck regulations?

Actually I just enhanced the picture provided to look for any differences. Granted this NX debuted in Shanghai so it could differ from out U.S. Spec one. Its likely only a matter of time before the NX gets the Auto-fold option standard.

What I take from it is, in order to get the 'truck' classification they gave the NX front a sharper approach angle for CAFE purposes. Clever

Bravo Lexus, this is a very well done facelift, they fixed the rear..

We may not have seen the Canadian/American model front end yet. That "NX 300h" front licence plate is not the Canadian/American standard size; that may be the Chinese-size plate.

Other than the front clip, I don't see much resemblance to the RX. The side profile is quite different, especially in light colors.

I like how they upgraded the interior trim to a higher quality metallic trim but the faux carbon fiber trim really needs to go, felt like cardboard when I got my NX loaner.

Nice updates but the NX is still sort of underwhelming for its class. I could never get over the ugly IP design and overstyled looks. Does it still have that useless handheld mirror?
