For 2022, Lexus designers gave this Lexus NX350 Ultra Luxury a complete body makeover, from the refined signature Lexus “spindle” grille to new, full-width blade tail lamps and spelled out “Lexus” brand across the rear. The result conveys a powerful message curbside – expressing the NX’s advanced, modern sophistication.Drivers will appreciate a cockpit design that’s focussed on connecting them with their vehicle. A 7-inch multi-information display is an NX first, as is the 10-inch head up display on select trim levels. Both are designed to convey vehicle information, alerts, and updates within the driver’s line of sight. Meantime, most driving-related controls are concentrated on the steering wheel to allow for intuitive operation while keeping the driver’s eyes on the road.The biggest enhancement to in-vehicle technology is the introduction of an all-new multimedia system. Developed in North America, Lexus Interface uses a standard 9.8-inch touchscreen to put an array of multimedia features within easy reach. On select models, the available 14-inch touch screen – a first for NX – delivers an even more immersive multimedia experience.Lexus Interface incorporates a new virtual assistant, developed with a human-centric approach and intended to be the primary way in which guests interact with the new multimedia system. The system enables a voice-first approach to access navigation, media, phone, and certain vehicle features such as the climate control system and window opening/closing. Furthermore, Lexus Interface leverages smart phones and cloud-based services to allow guests to transport their settings seamlessly to any vehicle equipped with the system.This NX 350 is a conventionally powered model built around a 2.4L turbocharged engine and new eight-speed automatic transmission. This model boasts 275 peak horsepower and 317 lb-ft of torque to deliver a spirited driving experience.As a Lexus, every NX series model is impressively equipped with state of the art safety features. The all-new NX is enhanced with Lexus Safety System + 3.0. This portfolio of active safety technologies supports the driver’s awareness and decision-making under a range of traffic conditions and contingencies. Other safety systems include a backup camera with back guide monitor, active front headrests with whiplash protection, and eight airbags. An all-new digital latch system enables doors to open smoothly at the touch of a button when entering or exiting the vehicle – and by scanning the environment, Safe Exit Assist alerts the driver and passengers to avoid the risk of accidental contact with passing vehicles and cyclists, helping ensure safe openings and closings. This 2022 Lexus NX 350 Ultra Luxury adds triple beam headlamps with intelligent high-beam, a power rear door with kick sensor, panoramic view monitor, digital rear view mirror, a digital key and credit-card sized wallet key, and wood trim interior accents.
