Lexus to pave the way with LF-NX [w/video]

In a recent presentation to the Society of Automotive Analysts, Toyota CEO, Jim Lentz, talked about a few future Lexus products.

The Japanese premium brand is going to launch a few interesting products over the coming months, but the only one we’re really interested in is the LF-NX.

This compact premium crossover has been showcased as a concept (pictured above), but the image of the car as used in Lentz’ presentation seems to be production ready. It’s more sedate than the concept model, but it’s still as sharp as a well-made katana blade.

Lentz also stated that the LF-NX will be Lexus’ first ever turbocharged model and would pave the way for future turbocharged vehicles.

The entire presentation can be viewed below, but if you want to see the LF-NX, skip to the 10.30 mark.
