Lexus NX

The Lexus NX is a premium compact luxury crossover SUV that serves as a cornerstone of the Lexus lineup. Introduced in 2014, the NX was designed to provide a more agile and urban-friendly alternative to the larger RX model. The name NX stands for 'Nimble Crossover,' reflecting its focus on performance and maneuverability within the luxury segment.

Manufacturing for the Lexus NX is primarily centered in Japan at the Toyota Motor Corporation Miyata plant in Miyawaka, Fukuoka. To meet high demand in North American markets, production also takes place at the Toyota Motor Manufacturing Canada (TMMC) facility in Cambridge, Ontario. This dual-location strategy ensures that the brand can maintain its high standards of Takumi craftsmanship while efficiently serving global markets.

Lexus was founded in 1989 as the luxury vehicle division of the Japanese automaker Toyota. The brand was the result of a secret project initiated by Eiji Toyoda to create the world's best luxury car. Today, Lexus remains a wholly-owned subsidiary of Toyota Motor Corporation, maintaining its headquarters in Nagoya, Japan. The brand has evolved into a global symbol of automotive reliability, advanced hybrid technology, and sophisticated design.
