New Lexus NX Sport
The NX is the
latest Lexus to receive the 'Sport' badge. Making its debut at the 2016 Paris Auto
Show, the styling changes are minor but help give the NX some added street
presence.
The exterior changes consist of a distinctive set of
black 18-inch alloy wheels, black wing mirror housings, a blacked-out front
spindle grille and a black grille frame. Inside, the Lexus NX Sport includes a
number of silver inserts and a choice of leather-effect upholstery finished in
Black or a special fabric offered solely for the Sport.
Customers will be able to order the Sport package
for both the existing NX 300h and NX 200t models but no performance changes
have been made. That means the NX 300h Sport maintains the standard model's
2.5-liter inline-four mated to an electric motor and delivering a combined 194
hp.
The NX 200t Sport is powered by a
2.0-liter turbocharged four-cylinder mated to a six-speed auto 'box and
offering up 235 hp and 258 lb-ft of torque.
