NX PHEV OFFROAD inspires new direction

The NX PHEV OFFROAD Concept is based on Lexus' first PHEV model that went on sale in November 2021

Lexus has debuted the “NX PHEV OFFROAD Concept” and “ROV Concept” at the Tokyo Auto Salon 2022.

Two concept vehicles embody Lexus’ efforts to realise a carbon neutral society, expand customer choices, challenge to suggest diversifying and expanding lifestyles, and provide new values that exceed expectations.

The NX PHEV OFFROAD Concept is based on Lexus’ first PHEV model that went on sale in November 2021, the NX450h+. The BEV and PHEV modes offer refined driving performance and excellent environmental performance that reduces CO2 emissions, as well as reliable driving performance courtesy of the electric motor on low-friction roads.

The body inspires an adventurous lifestyle with its lifted platform, off-road running all-terrain large-diameter tyres and a beautifully finished customised bronze and matte black paint scheme.

The ROV Concept goes beyond traditional on-and off-road driving along with its compact body and aims to provide a driving experience in nature, unlike any passenger vehicle. In addition, it is the first Lexus vehicle to use a hydrogen engine, making it environmentally friendly while still providing stimulation and excitement made possible only through the vibrations of an engine-powered vehicle.
