Overview
- Lexus posted official teaser clips and set a global reveal for September 1, 2026, that confirm the facelift prioritizes a large interior redesign over major exterior change.
- The cabin shows a more symmetrical dashboard, an apparent 14.0‑inch infotainment display, touch‑capacitive climate controls, USB‑C ports, wireless phone charging, and a new steering wheel that spells LEXUS.
- Exterior revisions look modest in the teasers and spy photos, limited mainly to new headlight graphics and subtle front‑ and rear‑end tweaks rather than a full restyle.
- Lexus has confirmed in Japan it will drop the petrol‑only NX350 and keep the NX350h hybrid plus the NX450h+ plug‑in hybrid, while reports say the NX450h+ could adopt newer RAV4 PHEV hardware but that change remains unconfirmed.
- The NX is a high‑volume model for Lexus—especially in Australia where it has been the brand’s best‑seller since 2015—so the update aims to boost cabin tech and emissions competitiveness while final specs and regional equipment lists await the full reveal.
