The brand new Lexus NX has just thrown its hat in the ring with the other luxury compact crossovers. In an attempt to carve out a place for itself in the category, the little SUV based on the Toyota RAV4 platform includes three distinct versions: the NX200T has a 235-hp twin-turbo four-cylinder engine, the NX 300h uses hybrid technology from the Lexus CT, while the NX F Sport features the same engine as the base version but sets itself apart with its sport suspension, honeycomb front grille and a more dynamic interior.
