The Lexus NX is about to go a long way with this Overtrail (2024) version

If you are looking for the pioneers of the first SUV, Lexus should not be missing from your list. Together with RX they were there in early 1998, to say the least, because it already combined the usual Lexus luxury with a long car. Fast forward to 2014 and that RX was merged with NX, who used the same recipe in a more compact form. In other words, Lexus SUVs are not intended for off-road use — epic music — until now!

Suitable for unpaved roads

This is the new Lexus NX Overtrail and make no mistake: it’s more than a basic NX with dark accents. Yes, the grille and trim parts are black for the occasion and yes, it’s the only version available in ‘Moon Desert’ color which wouldn’t look out of place on the average army vehicle, but the Lexus has also been made a little less. effort. This NX only gets 15 millimeters of suspension compared to its more civilian siblings and the rear suspension is stiffened. In addition, there are real road tires on its new 18-inch wheels and the result is a car that can handle unpaved roads – Lexus’ words, not ours.

Well, the emphasis still remains on comfortable cruising on the highway or through the city and they acknowledge that at Lexus. Drivetrains are unchanged, though you can only get the Overtrail equipment level with the four-wheel-drive variants of the NX 350h and NX 450h+. For the former you will have to spend 74,170 euros in this rough cut and the XN 450h+ plug-in hybrid costs 79,510 euros as an Overtrail.
