Lexus plans to unveil its brand new production LF-NX at the 2014 Geneva Motor Show. The RAV4-based small crossover will be offered as a hybrid, and as a turbocharged gasoline version. The LF-NX concept was powered by a 2.5-liter four-cylinder engine mated to a hybrid drivetrain, which is similar to the one found in the IS300h. The gas powered version will run on a 2.0-liter turbocharged four cylinder that is meant to replace the outdated 2.5-liter V6 that is being used in current Lexus products.

Fans should be excited as Lexus' European director Paul Van der Burgh revealed that the production LF-NX will keep its striking styling intact generally. The headlights and side mirrors will have to change, and the concept's sharp angles will likely be smoothed out a bit. I'd guess that the Predator-esque front grille will also be edited a bit. I'd be really happy to see the taillight design remain relatively unchanged.

Lexus will be entering a segment that the brand has not yet competed in with the introduction of the LF-NX. The compact crossover segment is growing quickly, which means that Lexus has plenty of opportunity to attract new buyers with this latest offering; however, the brand has not said anything about its sales targets in the US yet.
