Lexus has released details of a new 2.0L turbo drivetrain in its LF-NX concept

Finally, Lexus decided to go turbo! 

Today, Lexus has unveiled a new LF-NX compact SUV concept, powered by a newly developed 2.0-litre turbocharged engine, offering a combination of driving and environmental performance.

The LF-NX features a distinctive design, coupled with cutting-edge features and engaging driving dynamics. The LF-NX cuts a lean profile, with its compact, sharp body and bold tyres conveying SUV-unique power and an exciting drive.

In contrast to the LF-NX hybrid model shown at Frankfurt, the turbo concept features a front under-spoiler to give it a sportier look. 

Inside, the new remote touch interface with touch-pad functionality provides a cutting-edge, user-friendly experience unique to Lexus.

The Lexus LF-NX compact crossover SUV concept will be on show at the 43rd Tokyo International Motor Show, at Tokyo Big Sight in Koto Ward, from 20 November – 1 December 2013.
