Accidently leaked photos of the new Lexus NX

Lexus accidentally uploaded a YouTube video showcasing the not-yet-revealed second-generation NX crossover, revealing its exterior and interior design in full. The video was swiftly taken down, but it has been reuploaded by AvtoCorp

Images reveal an exterior that is a modest update to the current vehicle’s angular and edgy signature bodywork. The NX gets an expected LED and DRL signature update in the lights as well. The real revelation in these leaked images is; that the Lexus NX interior has undergone a much-needed overhaul and digital upgrade.

The leaked images of the NX interior reveal new screen infotainment interface slightly angled toward the driver. Considering the lack of physical buttons anywhere within reach of driver or passenger; it appears the screen will take over almost all of the system, media, and vehicle setting adjustments save for that suspicious little blurry knob by the driver’s knee. There also still appear to be a physical volume knob and physical temperature climate controls.

There also now appears to be a wireless charging pad for phones and other devices.

A second digital screen sits ahead of the driver in place of physical vehicle information dials. One leaked image shows a centralized numerical speed readout hovering above what appears to be a cruise control vehicle distance graphic. The dashboard appears to have a cutout for a heads-up display projector.  The new NX will definitely ride on the modular TNGA platform that underpins basically every new Toyota and Lexus product, and it should grow in length and wheelbase and offer more passenger room and cargo volume. While the NX in the exterior shots is badged NX 200; pointing toward a turbocharged four-cylinder engine; the video proclaims “The new Lexus NX 350h,” meaning there’s a new hybrid model coming to replace the current NX 300h
