TORONTO, ONTARIO – JANUARY 23^rd, 2023 – The Lexus NX series luxury crossovers are confidently imagined, intuitively connected, meticulously crafted – and award winning, as the members of the Automobile Journalists Association of Canada voted the NX series the “Best Mid-Size Premium Utility Vehicle in Canada for 2023”. By winning its category, the Lexus NX is now a contender for the Canadian Utility Vehicle of the Year award, to be announced in February.

“We are proud of the Lexus NX series for so many reasons – from its class-leading innovations and its range of electrified powertrains, to the Canadians who build these popular models on our dedicated assembly line at Toyota Motor Manufacturing Canada in Cambridge, Ontario – one of the top auto assembly plants in the world,” said Martin Gilbert, Director of Lexus Canada. “The NX has been a winner with our guests since it was first introduced, and we are thrilled that AJAC’s members have honoured it with this important award.”

The 2023 NX series is dressed to impress, with a body style that expresses its muscular mindset and nimble, athletic performance. Inside, the NX invites guests to an oasis of calm: A warm and welcoming environment that’s also fresh and exciting. Every NX is also impressively equipped with state-of-the-art technology – from the powerful yet intuitive Lexus Interface multimedia and connectivity system, to the active safety features of Lexus Safety System + 3.0.

Lexus offers guests the 2023 NX in four powertrains: The NX 450h+ plug-in hybrid electric, the NX 350h self-charging hybrid electric, and the NX 350 and NX 250. A 15-model range includes select models offered in the beautifully luxurious Executive Package and aggressively-styled, performance-tuned F SPORT packages – meaning there’s an NX that’s perfect for every Lexus Guest.

The 2023 Lexus NX series is now available for Guests to experience at Lexus Dealers across Canada. For complete and up to date details and specifications, visit www.lexus.ca/nx
