Lexus NX

The small luxury crossover segment is a hot market right now, and Lexus wants in on that action. To do so, they will unveil the Lexus NX in Beijing. This model will slot in as their entry-level SUV, positioned just under the RX model.

The new vehicle will be sold in North America in two different versions: the hybrid NX 300h, and the NX 200t. This one will be powered by an all-new 2.0L turbocharged engine. Buyers will be able to choose between a front-wheel drive and a 4WD layout.

Styling wise, this new compact SUV looks a lot like the LF-NX Concept unveiled at the 2013 Frankfurt Auto Show.
