Production of the new Lexus NX crossover has begun with the first example rolling off the assembly line at the Miyata plant in Japan.
The first UK deliveries of the Lexus NX 300h model are now expected sometime in October, with over 350 UK customers having submitted their orders for the new model already. That accounts for just a small proportion of global order for the NX 300h, with orders for the domestic Japanese having already surpassed the 6,500 mark.
Initial sales of the Lexus NX have provided a welcome boost for the Japanese brand. To meet demand, the mothballed second production line at Lexus’ Kanda engine plant has been re-commissioned, having ceased production in response to the 2008 slump in the global car market. It will be used to manufacture the new 2.0-litre petrol turbo engine which will be fitted in the upcoming Lexus NX 200t.
