Lexus, the luxury vehicle division of Japanese automaker Toyota Motor Corporation, has made its presence at this year’s Qatar Motor Show a memorable experience with the Middle East premiere of the company’s new NX models of SUVs, which are a combination of eye catching designs and advanced technologies.
The immaculately-built vehicle, the base model of which is priced around QR154,000 has gone down well with the company’s loyal customers, according to officials at the Abdullah Abdulghani & Bros, distributors of the Toyota and Lexus vehicles in Qatar.
The upgraded version of the model costs around QR214,000. The sale of the vehicle is expected to commence shortly in the country.
The NX has been developed around the core concept of “Premium Urna Sports Gear”, a next generation Lexus that presents an urban focus to luxury SUVs. The vehicle aims to create refined solutions to the mobility demands of fast moving urban customers, offering advanced technologies, excellent environmental performance and refined Lexus features that give outstanding quality and driving pleasure.
Beyond the high quality manufacturing and seamless integration of advanced technologies, the makers have paid meticulous care and attention to refining even the vehicle’s small details.
Starting with the signature Lexis “spindle grille”, its exterior is bold and compact, well-sculpted diamond shaped body, flared wheel arches and large wheels that radiate lively performance.
The interior is equally inspiring, infusing the functional and structural beauty, ease of use and practical space demanded of an SUV with the advanced performance-focused spirit of the Lexus LFA super car.
Besides the spacious interior, the cabin’s driver-focused design, excellent positioning of the handy storage, and convenient tray for smartphone, all attest to a refined luxury and personal pleasure found in the use of each element.
The automobile also integrates and embraces the latest technologies to help ensure the safety of the driver and fellow passengers by providing a margin of protection that underscores the driver’s enjoyment.
In the event of an accident, occupants protection is integrated into the core of the vehicle with a high-rigidity body structure with the front, side and rear collusion compatible structures designed to help disperse crash energy and a high strength body frame to help suppress the cabin distortion.
