Default Help identifying a Lexus model

Hello all -

I am in the investigation phase of getting a new car, and I saw a Lexus in a parking lot that really caught my eye. The most notable feature was the front end, where the 'nose' of the car was very pointed - the grill and front end extended out and then dropped back, making it almost like an arrow.

I checked the model number, and I thought is was NX 3000h. It was a hybrid, as indicated on the car. But I can't seem to find that exact nose to determine the model number - all the NXs I found do not have as pronounced a point..

Can anyone point me in the right direction? Thanks in advance.

- Rick G.

The first Gen NX (2015-2021) have a pronounced front end. Sounds like you found a first gen hybrid (300H).

Thanks for the tip. I looked at pictures online from 2015 until 2019, and the front was 'pointy', but the one I saw was even 'pointy-er'. Might that be a particular model?

There are a few sub-models (or trim lines?) which include "F-Sport".
Then there's also the rare/scarce "Black Line" (sub-model).

My wife has the pointier one, it is a standard model, the F-Sport is the one that is not as pointy due to the bigger front lower air dam.
