The NX gets a low center of gravity design that improves aerodynamics and driver/passenger comfort. Those going home in an NX will also get an LED blade tail lamp and up to 21-inch wheels. The RX offers 21-inch rims for a large and in-charge appearance.

Features

On the inside of the NX and RX, you’ll see that all the hard work pays off for both Lexus and you. These designs pay endless attention to detail. The RX features a race-inspired interior on its highest trim level. It gets perforated leather-trimmed sport seating and sports seats with full bolsters. The NX also gets bolstered sports seats but in different colors and designs. Also impressive on the NX is its contoured steering wheel. Lexus went through a lot of trouble designing this wheel to give drivers an “ideal elliptical grip.” Technology’s highest honor in both interiors is a 14-inch multimedia touchscreen display.
