2014 Lexus NX - Price and Specs

Lexus is going to offer the new NX, which is the manufacturer's first mid-size crossover. Initially, it will be available only as a full hybrid NX 300h, but later next year, it will be joined by NX 200t - the first model to adopt Lexus's new 2.0-litre petrol turbo engine.

Sharply styled and offering true Lexus quality and refinement, the NX will open up new opportunities for the brand in an expanding and popular part of the premium car market.

NX will be the first model to feature Lexus's Pre-Crash Safety system and Adaptive Cruise Control as standard on all versions. Other "firsts" for a Lexus include a wireless charging tray for easy charging of mobile phones and other devices and the first application of a new Remote Touch Interface with a touchpad control.

Some of the interesting extras include a new Panoramic View Monitor, a comprehensive multi-information display (incorporating for the first time a G-sensor and boost meter on NX 200t), head-up display, blind spot monitor and Rear Cross Traffic Alert.

2014 Lexus NX 300h S is priced from £29,495.
