If you want your Lexus NX to reflect the sporty side of your personality, perhaps some TRD treatment will do the trick?

The latest 2022 Lexus NX was revealed earlier this year and even in standard guise it looks quite menacing. Lexus’ large, angular spindle grille adds visual drama and overall, the NX looks to be a fit rival for cars such as the BMW X3, Audi Q5 and Volvo XC60.

But what if good isn’t good enough? Toyota Racing Development (TRD) offers enhancements parts that give the new NX some extra sporting appeal.

The front of the NX remains mostly the same except for the fitment of a TRD spoiler which beefs up the look appreciably but is also said to improve aerodynamics and aid steering response. The NX further benefits from flared side skirts and sportier mirror housings while at the rear, customers can opt for a striking diffuser as well as quad sports exhaust system. The look is further complemented with optional, lightweight 20-inch aluminum gunmetal wheels. Other performance-enhancing bits include performance dampers and underbody bracing.

When will the new Lexus NX reach South Africa?

Earlier this year, Lexus South Africa confirmed that the 2022 NX will arrive in South Africa early in 2022. While local pricing and specification have yet to be confirmed, buyers can expect the NX to be offered with either a naturally-aspirated 2.5-litre engine, a turbocharged 2.4-litre petrol engine and a NX Hybrid derivative. Other markets also offer a Plug-In Hybrid Electric Vehicle (PHEV) derivative but it’s not likely to reach SA.
