Mhlawumbe ukukhululwa okubaluleke kakhulu konyaka kwaLexus. Kuthuthukiswe ngokusekelwe kuplathifomu ye-TNGA-K, entsha Lexus NX ithatha indawo yemodeli, kusukela yethulwa ngo-2014, isiqongelele amayunithi angaphezu kuka-140,000 athengiswa eYurophu.
Ngakho-ke, esikhundleni sokusebenzisa uguquko olukhulu ku-Lexus NX (2022), uhlobo lwe-premium yeqembu le-Toyota lincamele ukuthuthukisa zonke izici ze-NX ngendlela ebambekayo.
Kusukela ngaphakathi kuya ngaphandle, idlula ezobuchwepheshe nezinjini, iLexus ishintshe yonke into ngaphandle kokushintsha ingqikithi yeSUV yayo edayisa kakhulu e-Europe.
Ingaphandle enezindaba
Ngobuhle, ingaphambili ligcina “umuzwa womndeni” weLexus, negrille enkulu edonsa amehlo namalambu amasha anobuchwepheshe be-FULL LED.
Ngemuva, i-Japanese SUV ilandela izitayela ezimbili eziya ngokuya ziduma embonini yezimoto: amalambu angemuva ahlanganiswe ne-light bar kanye nokushintshwa kwelogo ngombhalo onegama lomkhiqizo.
Umphumela uba i-Lexus NX entsha engahlukani neyandulelayo, egcina izixazululo eziyinhloko zobuhle, kodwa okuholela kumodeli yesimanjemanje.
Ingaphakathi eligxile kumshayeli
Ngaphakathi, i-NX iqala ngomqondo omusha othi “Tazuna” lapho ideshibhodi yakhelwe futhi iqondiswe kumshayeli. Okugqamile okukhulu kuya, ngaphandle kokungabaza, esikrinini esisha esingu-9.8″ esivela phakathi nendawo kudeshibhodi futhi, ezinguqulweni eziphezulu, sikhula sibe ngu-14″.
Lena isistimu ye-multimedia entsha ngokuphelele eletha uhlelo olusha lomyalo wezwi lwe-“Hey Lexus”, oluvumela abagibeli ukuthi baxhumane nemodeli ngokusebenzisa imiyalo yezwi ngendlela engokwemvelo. Ngokusho kwe-Lexus, isivinini sokucubungula salolu hlelo olusha lwe-multimedia sishesha izikhathi ezingu-3.6 futhi, njengoba ubungalindela, siphinde sihambisane ne-Apple CarPlay ne-Android Auto wireless.
Ngaphezu kokukhathazeka ngobuchwepheshe obumsulwa, i-Lexus ithi isaqhubeka nokubheja ngohlangothi lwabantu. Ukubheja, ngokusho kwe-Lexus, okuhumushela ezintweni zokwakha nezindawo okufanele zijabulise zonke izinzwa.
Kodwa izindaba azigcini lapho. Kukhona i-100% entsha ye-digital quadrant kuphaneli yezinsimbi kanye nesistimu yokubonisa ye-head-up engu-10″ yesimanjemanje.
Kusesemkhakheni wobuchwepheshe, i-Lexus UX entsha iziveza ngokwandayo okokufaka kwe-USB-C okujwayelekile kanye nenkundla yokushaja yokungeniswa, okuthi ngokohlobo lwaseJapan, isheshe ngo-50%.

I-Hybrid plug-in ekuqaleni
Sekukonke, i-NX entsha inezinjini ezine: ezimbili zikaphethroli, eyodwa eyihybrid nenye, izindaba ezinkulu, i-plug-in hybrid (PHEV).
Iqala kahle lapho, inguqulo ye-NX 450h+ PHEV isebenzisa injini engu-2.5 kaphethiloli ehambisana nenjini kagesi edonsa amasondo angemuva futhi eyinika wonke amasondo.
Umphumela wokugcina ungamandla angu-306 hp. Inika amandla injini kagesi ibhethri elingu-18.1 kWh elivumela i-Lexus NX 450h+ ukuzibusa kumodi kagesi efika ku-63 km. Kule modi kagesi isivinini esiphezulu sibekwe ku-135 km/h. Ukusetshenziswa nokukhishwa okumenyezelwe kungaphansi kuka-3 l/100 km futhi ngaphansi kuka-40 g/km (amanani okugcina awakakaqinisekiswa).
Inguqulo ye-hybrid ye-NX 350h (hhayi i-plug-in) inenjini engu-2.5 ehlotshaniswa nesistimu eyaziwa kakhulu ye-Lexus hybrid, enamandla aphelele angu-242 hp. Kulokhu, sine-e-CVT transmission futhi singajabulela ukushayela kwawo wonke amasondo noma idrayivu yangaphambili. Uma kuqhathaniswa nemodeli yangaphambilini, isikhathi sisuka ku-0 siye ku-100 km/h sehle safinyelela ku-7.7s (ukuthuthukiswa okungu-15%) ngenxa yokwenyuka kwamandla ngo-22%, kodwa ngesikhathi esifanayo, simemezela ukukhishwa kwe-CO2 kwehle ngo-10%.
Okokugcina, kukhona nezinjini ezimbili zikaphethiloli eziqondiswe kakhulu ezimakethe zaseMpumalanga Yurophu, ezaziwa nge-NX250 ne-NX350. Zombili zisebenzisa i-in-line four-cylinder. Esimweni sokuqala lena ishiya i-turbo, inamandla angu-2.5 amalitha kanye ne-199 hp. I-NX 350, ngakolunye uhlangothi, ibona ukufuduka kwehla ku-2.4 amalitha, ithola i-turbo futhi inikeza i-279 hp. Kuzona zombili lezi zimo, u-gearbox uphethe ugearbox ozishintshayo onamagiya ayisishiyagalombili kanti i-torque iphuma kuwona wonke amasondo.
I-Lexus NX 2022 entsha kufanele ifike e-Portugal ngaphambi kokuphela konyaka. Izintengo azikakakhishwa.
