Impressive!

Gotta check this out at Beijing Auto show.
Anyone knows the ground clearance of NX?

I need a new vehicle later this year. Should be between NX and new BMW X5

Crossovers are not good looking to begin with. The Lexus crossover as always ugly to me due to the huge front overhang -- reminds me of the front end of the Sunbeam amphicar and now -- well, it's not improved imo.

I am 6'1" and in my Rav4, can sit in the driver's seat and comfortably sit behind myself in the second row with ~2 inches of legroom. Being built on the same platform, if NX is similar, it will be plenty comfortable for 4 people.

Off topic, but I wonder when and if Lexus will make a GLA, X1, Q3, QX30 and ect fighter? For me, the smaller the better.

NX has larger wheelbase, so lets hope back room ends up the same... of course, luxury cars have different seating position and seats themselves are much thicker, this is where usually the space is lost.

I find the NX looking great. It is not too far away than the concept LF-NX. Basically the production one has been stripped off some exterior details of the concept one which are too aggressive or impractical to be built on a production car.

For the exterior, the only thing I am not too fond of is the black side mirrors in F Sport NX. I guess Lexus follows suit what BMW has done. Black coloured side mirrors means sport model.

Besides, while the way the chrome portion of the side mirror is oriented looks stylish and different, it sure would receive road abrasion in no time. If I were the potential buyer for the F Sport NX, I would definitely make side mirrors coloured keyed.

For the interior, things look great. At the first glance, everything on the dash was too condensed. After further look, things make sense and look great. And I am glad Lexus finally make the automatic parking brake available to more affordable models (anything below GS, LS, etc)

Just curious, how do you know it's larger? As it is based on the RAV4 it should have the same 104.7" wheelbase and I haven't seen any official figures yet. Please share if you know

I must admit, the exterior of this thing is hideous and dreadful. The front end is bad,
