As a representative of imported high-end cars, Lexus has been very popular in China in recent years. Although the power of its models is mainly naturally aspirated engines and hybrids, the overall acceleration experience is not smaller than that of the first-line BBA, but the stable power performance, high retention rate and other comprehensive factors make it the choice of many riders. Its models such as ES, RX, etc. need to increase the price or wait a long time to pick up the car.
However, Compared with those hot models, Lexus's NX not only has no price increase, but the market terminal has a lot of discounts, so although the heat of this model is not high, the sales volume is still OK. The release of Lexus' new generation of NX has undoubtedly brought new vitality to the model, and the new car not only has a comprehensive upgrade of the power system, but also the overall product performance is more in line with the current consumer demand.
If you carefully analyze the configuration of the Lexus NX, you will find that the entry-level model of the new car is very cost-effective.
First of all, the new Lexus NX abandons the previous power combination of 2.0L naturally aspirated engine and CVT, and the entry-level model uses the power of 2.5L naturally aspirated engine + 8AT. You know, the maximum power of the old 2.0L engine is only 150 horsepower, even less than the new model, and the new 2.5L+8AT power combination is insufficient in power.
At the same time, the hybrid system of the new Lexus NX has also been upgraded, although it is still a combination of 2.5L engine and E-CVT, but the total power, acceleration performance and fuel consumption of the new model have been improved to a certain extent, and the price of the new model entry model has been reduced by a certain extent, and the cost performance has increased significantly. Therefore, from the perspective of the two entry-level models with power configurations, compared with the old models, there is a relatively large improvement in the power system.
Secondly, from the perspective of appearance and interior design, even if it is an entry-level model, the gap between higher matching is not large.
In appearance, the entry-level Lexus NX and the high-end model basically can not see the gap, are the use of far and near LED headlights and LED daytime lights, the function of the lights is basically the same, are to provide adaptive near and far light, automatic headlights, headlight height adjustment and other functions. In addition to the F SPORT sport version, it is mainly the vehicle's front fog lights and whether a sunroof is provided to distinguish between high and low. So the Lexus NX entry-level model is not cheap in appearance.
The gap between the interior part is not large, from the large point of view, but the central control screen is different from the top 14-inch central control screen, the seat is made of fabric material, and the gap between the rest of the part is very small.
Finally, there is the price. The price of the new Lexus NX entry-level model is still relatively competitive. The price of the fuel version is 318,800 yuan, and the hybrid version is 355,800 yuan, which is more reasonable than the pricing of the old model. And whether it is a fuel version or a hybrid version, the entry-level model is cheaper than 30,000 yuan compared to the previous configuration, so for most consumers of this level, the price gap is still considerable.
So for those who want to choose Lexus NX, in fact, the entry-level model is very worth choosing. In addition to the points mentioned above, the basic configuration of the entry-level model is already rich enough, such as 18-inch tires, the same active and passive safety configuration of the whole series, full-speed adaptive cruise, reversing image, keyless entry and start, leather multi-function steering wheel, LCD instrument, etc. have achieved the standard of the whole series. So everyday home travel is enough.
