NX F Sport Wins Compact Crossover Comparison

The Lexus NX 200t F SPORT has taken first place in a Motor Trend compact crossover comparison against the BMW X3 xDrive28i, Land Rover Range Rover Evoque, Lincoln MKC 2.0 AWD, and Volvo XC60 T6:

[The NX] comes well-dressed at the lowest as-tested price, with good cost of ownership and high marks for driving experience, cabin and leather quality, ride and handling balance, efficiency, and safety. And as [MT editor Edward] Loh asserted, its “engine sounds great under wide-open throttle, especially in Sport mode.”
Lexus isn’t for everyone. But if you’re hunting for a compact luxury CUV with the most diverse skill set, look no further than the NX 200t.

This is a strong win against difficult competitors; An excellent win for the new Lexus compact crossover.

Features of the Lexus NX

The Lexus NX is Lexus' first dive into the compact crossover segments. It is aimed towards the urban and active lifestyle with its edgy design. The exterior design of the NX is meant to provide a feeling of agility that is not usually associated with an SUV, while also being suitable for urban use. The NX is designed to look nimble while hinting at the incredible power lying beneath the surface. Front and rear flares harmonize with the diamond-shaped body at the spindle grille, and  LED headlamps and daytime running lamps firmly express Lexus’ bold design language. The roofline peaks toward the rear of the vehicle, providing comfortable head-room. The flared wheel arches house 17 or 18 inch wheels that leave the NX in a muscular, crouching position. The interior of the Lexus NX is meant to compliment the urban, edgy exterior. It is designed with both comfort and quality alike. Advanced HMI (Human Machine Interface) is implemented in the NX, allowing for advanced and intuitive interaction between the driver and the Lexus. 

Lexus Sales Heat Up

Interesting Bloomberg fact:

On a retail sales basis, excluding vehicle purchases by businesses, Lexus was the top-selling U.S. luxury brand in the first quarter of 2014

Lexus has been head-to-head in sales with competitors such as Mercedes and BMW. As the year 2014 hits its peak, sales begin to do the same. Lexus has outsold Mercedes in both March and May, leaving Lexus only 12,000 vehicles from outselling BMW. While there is still a great deal of work to do before out-performing BMW in sales, next year could prove to be rather interesting with vehicles such as the RC and the NX in the lineup! The NX includes unique features such as its panoramic glass sun-roof audio-improvement technology that could prove to its advantage when compared to competitors and also help push Lexus over the edge in sales.
