Today AutoExpress brings some new information on the NX:

Lexus has revealed that its new NX crossover will arrive in the UK in October, and prices are expected to start at around £30,000 – putting it in close contention with its Audi Q5 and BMW X3 rivals.

A sporty front-wheel-drive NX200t F Sport is likely to join the range later. This will be powered by an all-new 2.0-litre four-cylinder turbocharged petrol engine, which is a replacement for Lexus’ ageing 205bhp 2.5-litre V6, and will be used in the IS line-up, too. It produces around 240bhp, and promises a significant improvement in emissions and fuel efficiency as well.

So in line with what we have speculated here lately. A Q4 2014 release date as a 2015 MY vehicle.

Yep that is along what we've been hearing

Late 2014 as a 2015 model

Great news. Get rid of that useless V6.

This new 4 cylinder better make more power than 205bhp and alot more torque

Even 240hp is kind of low.. Those turbos must be in snooze mode.

An F Sport trim has me thinking they will get serious on releasing a real F model, NX-F is a must!

what power plant could you see Lexus using for an NX-F?

 

[mister]

What do you think the £30,000 price tag for the Lexus NX will translate to for us in North America?

Somewhere in the $50,000s?

 

[toyotafan]

Considering the RX350 starts at 39k

I'm not sure how in the world Lexus will sell the NX at 50k....

That is Porsche Macan pricing.

 

[Kennedy]

$50k isn't happening.
low $30k's to start and then up to $45-50k at the most for the highest trim

 

[toyotafan]

Hopefully they will do a F sport with this that looks bit more like the concept

 

[Kennedy]

Going off of all the info out and knowing how they want to grow the brand it seems like an F-Sport model will be possible, even an F model. NX-F ?

 

[toyotafan]

If they don't do a GS-F and LS-F or RX-F I don't think we will see a NX-F

 

[Kennedy]

GS-F seems to be confirmed, there was already a spy shot of the GS-F right next to an RC (i think?)
