The cabin is dominated by an optional 14-inch touch screen that hosts Lexus Interface, the infotainment system developed in-house that brand officials say will spread across the lineup within three years. In standard form, the NX comes equipped with a 9.8-inch display screen. As part of the upgrade, Lexus Interface features an interactive virtual assistant that can perform functions and answer questions in a conversation with the driver.
The cockpit features its own 7-inch display in the instrument cluster as well as an optional 10-inch head-up display.
The NX is also getting the brand’s newest suite of driver-assistance and safety technologies, Lexus Safety System+ 3.0. The system features emergency steering assist to prevent potential collisions, left-turn oncoming vehicle and pedestrian detection and automatic braking, dynamic cruise control with curve-speed management, lane-keeping, road sign recognition and automated high beam control. Even the door latches on the NX will get an upgrade with the introduction of a digital latch system. The latches allow for monitoring that prevents the door from opening if it is unsafe to do so. A new digital mirror — which can be turned off — provides an enhanced rear view free from obstructions.
