The car is likely to be based on TNGA-K platform

The new Lexus NX is expected to be offered with a choice of two engines: a 3.0-liter V6 mill sourced from Toyota Camry and the Toyota RAV4's 2.5-liter, 4-cylinder motor in both the standard and plug-in hybrid (PHEV) forms.
The vehicle should have a sunroof and ventilated front seats
The new Lexus NX should have a spacious 5-seater cabin with ventilated front seats, stadium-style rear seats, auto climate control, a sunroof, and a multifunctional steering wheel. It is expected to pack a touchscreen infotainment console with support for Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. For the passengers' safety, multiple airbags, ABS with EBD, and a rear-view camera are likely to be available.

The Lexus NX will be unveiled on June 11 and should arrive in India later this year or sometime in 2022. It will carry some premium over the current-generation model which starts at Rs. 58.2 lakh (ex-showroom, New Delhi).
