At the rear, the full-width LED light bar gains updated L-motif internal graphics and an illuminated central logo. The F Sport model carries over with new 20-inch alloy wheels, red-painted brake calipers, piano-black exterior trim, and subtle aero extensions.The most significant changes occur inside, where the dashboard layout has been completely redesigned, borrowing design cues from the ES sedan and electric TZ SUV.AdvertisementAdvertisementA 14.0-inch central touchscreen sits atop a revised center panel, running in line with a 12.3-inch digital instrument cluster. The dash shifts climate and camera functions to new capacitive touch zones positioned above revised air vents and a redesigned center console.Driver touchpoints receive attention as well. The steering wheel diameter drops by roughly 0.4 inches, gaining a thicker rim grip, expanded telescopic adjustment range, and tactile physical buttons. Lower down, engineers lowered the front seat mounting points, dropping the driver's hip point closer to the crossover's center of gravity.2027 lexus nx debuts with fresh style and cabin changesStructural Rigidity and Noise ReductionTo improve ride refinement and handling crispness, Lexus made several underlying chassis modifications.
