About this generation

The first-generation Lexus NX (AA10) launched in 2014, featuring aggressive angular styling, Lexus's first turbo engine, and NX 300h hybrid.

The first-generation Lexus NX compact luxury crossover (chassis code AA10) premiered at the Beijing International Automotive Exhibition in April 2014 for the 2015 model year. Derived from the LF-NX concept, its exterior displayed sharp body creases, prominent spindle grille, and low-slung roofline. The cabin introduced a touchpad-operated Remote Touch Interface, wireless smartphone charging tray, and Panoramic View Monitor.

The NX 200t introduced Lexus's first-ever turbocharged engine, a 2.0-liter 8AR-FTS four-cylinder delivering 235 horsepower paired with a six-speed automatic transmission (rebadged NX 300 in 2017). Naturally aspirated NX 200 and NX 300h self-charging hybrid variants were also produced with front-wheel drive or E-Four all-wheel drive. A 2017 mid-cycle refresh updated the front bumper, triple-projector LED headlights, and Adaptive Variable Suspension (AVS).
