In the rear, the Lexus logo has been redesigned to create an advanced and modern expression. The use of the L emblem has been replaced by a new, unified LEXUS logo located at the center of the vehicle. The rear light bar lamps are constantly illuminated at night to function as a taillight and illuminate the rear brand signature.
Guests can select from a variety of fresh NX colors to suit their taste, including Madder Red & Sonic Chrome. For colours exclusive to F SPORT models, the palette includes White Nova & Heat Blue.
