2016 Lexus NX Turbo Release Date Europe

2016 Lexus NX Turbo Release Date Europe - Lexus decided to enter the madness with his brand new 2015 Lexus NX. New for this year, and new to the lineup, this luxury crossover checks all the right boxes on paper. However, behind the wheel is not all sunshine and roses.

Wearing the new spindle grille (F SPORT and look like my tester, the more handsome version of this grid) angular rear modern, and several headlights with dynamic layers sculpted side and the 2015 Lexus NX is some would call amazing.

Inside, the 2015 Lexus NX 200t has a new look center stack design company, with its remote touch interface. Other than that (and thank God for the buttons), the cabin of the 2015 Lexus NX 200t is a nice place to be. I love the simplicity of the set of indicators, and the steering wheel is thick and comfortable to wear.

The first car I picked up in my back was this NX200t two-wheel drive. It is a beast of distinctive appearance with a powerful two-liter turbo four-cylinder 175kW engine and handling that is probably the closest we come to a sports hatch to a compact SUV.

It is capable of 100kph in 7.3 seconds (7.1 seconds if you have the version with four-wheel drive), it moves quickly through the automatic gearbox with six speeds, and stops as well as it goes.

Lexus uses more than 2,000 engineers in the development of NX200t and can not fault the quality of the structure or ride quality. Leather Interior is perfectly stitched, panel gaps are consistent, nothing rattles or squeaks and everything feels solid.

At low speeds, it is soft; at high speeds there is some road noise from the tires 225 / 60R18, but has confidence-inspiring handling with performance to match.

Napier and I drove back (820 km), with an average of 9 l / 100 km. Quoted combined consumption is 7.7l / 100km. It took me a while to get the seat in a comfortable position.

Fortunately, the steering wheel is electrically adjustable in height and rake so he could take out enough to allow the seat back to tilt back far enough so that my head did not feel he was being pushed forward by the support head (not adjustable).

If you take a look at the photos, you can not say the seats are not leather, and even sit on them, you really have to look closely to tell. It also weighs 65% less than the leather and creates less CO2 emissions than other synthetic leather, no volatile organic chemicals.

Many vehicle functions are controlled by a small trackpad in the center console, which falls well to the left. The trackpad has haptic feedback, which means that when you cross over a button that gives the finger a little push so it is easier to operate without taking your eyes off the road (but only if you know what's on the screen 7 inches).

There are also voice commands, but do not understand my accent very well. The system supports Bluetooth calls, phonebook and Bluetooth streaming audio.

A nice touch is the starter grip coating for almost anything slip, heavy equipment including emergency Lexus. The starting gate is automatic - just flick a switch and opens, press another switch and closed.

Probably the most useful electronic cheating on my trip from Auckland to Napier and back was the optional active cruise control (DRCC or Dynamic Radar Cruise Control) radar.

Some road surfaces Lexus was quite noisy, but in others it is relatively quiet and speed can creep up, considering that you have a lot of power on tap.

Adjusting the radar cruise control means if it is updated with another vehicle, its speed will automatically adjust to the speed of that vehicle and you can choose one of three distances to follow behind the vehicle ahead.

The back-up camera is essential because the rear window is small and shoulders are high so it is difficult to see out the back.

Let's try to answer them the best you can, and take the variant Luxury Sport for a trip from Sydney, across the plains of hay and in South Australia, and then down and back through Sydney via the Great Ocean Road.

To begin with, but we'll get the basic elements covered. The engine is a 2.0 liter four-cylinder direct injection and the use of multiple points of pressure with turbo intercooler system. Maximum outputs of 175kW and 350Nm out. These figures are a good benchmark

In any case, if you do not feel comfortable when you come in, play with security settings. The seats are made of NuLuxe, not leather. It is a modern vinyl is formulated to mimic leather, and does a very good job.
