About the Lexus NX AZ10
The Lexus NX 300h (AZ10) debuted as the brand's first dedicated compact luxury crossover, bringing the 'spindle grille' design language to a new audience. It shares its basic architecture with the Toyota RAV4 but features a significantly more refined interior and a unique E-Four all-wheel-drive system that uses an electric motor to power the rear wheels. The hybrid powertrain prioritises efficiency and smoothness over outright performance, making it a popular choice for urban commuting. While its bold, angular styling was polarising at launch, it established the NX as a distinctive alternative to its German rivals.

Lexus NX AZ10 fun facts
- The name 'NX' stands for 'Nimble Crossover', reflecting its intended role as a more agile alternative to the larger RX.
- The 300h's E-Four AWD system has no mechanical link between the front and rear axles; the rear wheels are driven solely by a dedicated electric motor.
- Lexus engineers split the hybrid battery into two separate pods to improve weight distribution and maximise interior cabin space.
