2022 Lexus NX 350h's India launch set for March 9
Toyota-owned luxury brand Lexus will introduce the 2022 version of the NX 350h SUV in India on March 9. To recall, the four-wheeler broke cover globally in June last year. It will be available in three variants, namely Exquisite, Luxury, and F-Sport, and will be offered in a single petrol-hybrid powertrain option. Pre-bookings for the NX 350h have been live since January.
Why does this story matter?
The NX line-up from Lexus has always caught the imagination of buyers with its particular blend of sportiness and luxury. The 2022 NX 350h, which is all set to arrive in India, is no different.

The rear end of the SUV is graced by a shark-fin antenna and wrap-around LED taillamps connected by a horizontal light bar.
It has two electric motors and 2.5-liter petrol mill
The 2022 Lexus NX 350h draws power from a 2.5-liter, 4-cylinder petrol engine linked to two electric motors, a 6-speed CVT gearbox, and an all-wheel-drive system. The powertrain generates a maximum power of 244hp.
