Lexus LF-NX Concept
I was on the fence with this one. Honestly, the LF-NX concept is butt-ugly, but so much so that it’s crossed over into the cool column in my mind. Lexus’ design language and direction has taken a momentous change of direction recently, however, I think this might be taking it too far. The hardest part of the LF-NX’s shape to digest is the front nose cone… I mean, a larger gaping Predator-mouth-shaped grille than currently resides on Lexus cars is a little much.
This too is one of the compact luxury CUVs that will soon be covering urban streets. Its dimensions slot it below that of the RX and the concept is powered by a full hybrid drive system, mating a 2.5L Atkinson cycle 4-cylinder engine with a powerful electric motor.
