In 2014, Lexus launched the NX, which was well received by customers, thanks to its agile driving performance and powerful design, and has gone on to sell more than one million units in 90-plus countries globally. The second generation of the luxury midsize crossover, the all-new Lexus NX, which was launched in the UAE in February, further raises the bar for performance, comfort, and safety, redefining the segment once again and ushering a new chapter for the Lexus brand.

This new model also marks the debut of a brand-new multimedia platform that takes connectivity, information, and convenience to the next level. Meanwhile, the scope and functionality of the next-generation Lexus Safety System+ has been expanded to help guard against an even wider range of accident risks and bring greater peace of mind to drivers in the region.
