Lexus NX AZ10 (first generation)

The first generation Lexus NX, AZ10, was revealed at the Beijing International Automotive Exhibition on 20 April 2014. It shares a small portion of its parts with the Toyota RAV4, mainly the structure and the wheelbase, while the styling, suspension parts, some engines, the interior and the level of luxury and craftsmanship are unique to Lexus. The variants sold in the United States have slightly altered fascias that give higher departure angles, which lets the US EPA identify the car as a light truck. US sales began in November 2014 and production commenced on 8 August 2014 at the Miyata plant of Toyota Motor Kyushu. The NX received a mid-life facelift in September 2017, and the NX 300h is powered by a 2.5 litre 2AR-FXE engine with an electric motor and a CVT.
