Again, the NX F-Sport models have grippier seats with bigger winged bolsters.

It should also be noted that the facelifted NX sticks with its two engine options: a 2-litre turbocharged four-cylinder, and a hybrid system with a 2.5-litre naturally-aspirated four-cylinder.

The hybrid will once again be badged as the NX300h, but the 2-litre turbo will ditch the NX200t name in favour of the NX300 badge. In time, other Lexus cars equipped with the 2-litre turbo will go from 200t badging to the 300 name.
