It's a subtle innovation, but the door handles on the new 2022 NX feel completely different. In fact, it works via an electronic "mechanism", so that when the user touches it, the door opens automatically and requires only a slight pull to deliver access to the cabin.

The same goes when you’re inside wanting to get out. Light pressure on the handle is all that’s needed. And yes, in case you’re wondering about an electronic glitch or an ice storm, Lexus has thought to introduce a backup mechanism. Still, while the system promises to be fun, time will tell if it also proves reliable.
