I was looking at BBC Autos today and I came across a article from Top Gear that discusses the lexus NX. Here are the highlights.

On the styling:

Lexus says the NX was designed to look as though it has been cast from a single piece of metal’, to which Top Gear would like to add ‘and also as though it wishes to devour pedestrians whole’.

On the expected power figures:

Lexus hasn’t released power or performance figures yet, but it’s safe to assume the hybrid will make the same 220bhp as the IS300h. Porsche Macan-baiting performance not to be expected, then.

And finally on the tech:

There’s lashings of tech on board, however, including – most welcomely – a wireless charging tray for your smartphones and tablets. The NX will be the first Lexus to be fitted with a G-sensor (to sense where the G is, we assume), and will also feature a head-up display and blind spot monitoring.

So there really isn't too much revealed here. most of this we already know. I've put a link below to the full article. WE still will have to wait and see what happens at the Beijing auto show to figure out details on price, performance, etc...

Yup case I don't see how anyone can get any real G's going here, i'll be surprised.
