The Lexus NX is already a sub-crossover, but Lexus thinks that it may need something even smaller -- a sub-sub-crossover if you will.
Lexus' European vice-president Alain Uyttenhoven says an entry-level crossover is "not impossible" as it "made sense" for Lexus although he didn't provide any details about a launch date. The model would likely do well in Europe, China and Japan where there is a strong desire for smaller premium cars.
This could be a smart move for Lexus as the company sells half of its cars in North America right now. Getting their brand to be successful in more countries would be a huge boost for them.
How small can a crossover get before it isn't a crossover anymore?
