Lexus has widened its offering in Australia with the
introduction of the NX and RX Crafted Editions. They build on the Luxury grade
and bring exterior enhancements and more kit for AU$ 61,806 and
AU$ 79,888.
The NX Crafted can be specced in the 2WD and AWD
versions of the 300 and 300h and adds black accents on the grille and side
mirror caps. It comes with a selection of nine colors, including the AU$ 1,500 premium paint, and sits on unique 18-inch alloy wheels, with a
black look, brightly machined surfaces and five double-spoke pattern.
Completing the package are a 360-degree camera
system, keyless entry and illuminated front-door scuff plates, along with the
usual gear like the satellite navigation, 10-speaker audio system, tire
pressure warning sensors and electrically-operated tailgate.
The RX Crafted is offered solely as a five-seater,
in the 300, 350 and 450h variants. Like its smaller sibling, it gets black
exterior accents on the grille, fog lamp bezels, side mirror caps and rear
bumper, as well as black 20-inch alloy wheels.
The equipment list includes a panoramic moonroof
with front tilt and slide functions, 12.3-inch infotainment system, color head-up
display, Mark Levinson premium sound system and front-door projector courtesy
lamps. The special edition RX comes with other premium appointments, such as
leather trim, dual-zone climate control, wireless charging pad and a power
tailgate.
Both the NX and RX Crafted get the Lexus Safety
System + suite that features pre-collision safety with pedestrian detection,
automatic emergency braking, active cruise control, lane tracing assist,
blind-spot monitor, rear cross-traffic alert and bi-LED headlights with
automatic high beam.
