Lexus has launched a new trim for the NX SUV called the ‘Overtrail’. The Lexus NX 350h Overtrail gets a few blacked-out styling elements along with a few mechanical enhancements for better off-road capability. The SUV is priced at Rs 71.17 lakh (ex-showroom).
The SUV gets many blacked-out styling elements such as its grille, door mirrors, door frame, roof rails, and door handles. The vehicle also comes with 18-inch matte black wheels with chunkier tyres and can be had in an exclusive Moon Desert shade. The vehicle has a higher ground clearance and is equipped with Adaptive Variable Suspension, enhancing its off-road capabilities.
Inside the cabin, the Lexus NX350h Overtrail has a Monolith palette interior with a nature-inspired Geo Layer door trim. The interior is based on Lexus’ concept of Tazuna, offering enhanced communication between the driver and the vehicle. Features-wise, the car offers connected technology (Data Communication Module), connected services providing access to safety, Connect (e-call, stolen vehicle tracking, remote immobilisation, driver alert, Find my Car), Service Connect (Service History, Service Estimate, Service Reminder, RSA, Pro Care), and Comfort Connect (engine start-stop, door lock/unlock, remote AC, remote power windows, remote status check through smartphones). Other bits are a panoramic sunroof and e-latch door technology.
In terms of safety, the Lexus N350h Overtrail gets advanced driver assistance systems that include dynamic radar cruise control, lane departure alert, lane tracing alert, pre-collision system, safe exit assist, and SRS airbags.
Under the hood, the new variant of the Lexus NX350h comes with a 2.5-litre, four-cylinder, naturally aspirated engine and a lithium-ion battery. The engine with a CVT develops 240bhp and 270Nm of torque, while the battery promises enhanced performance. Lexus says that an emphasis on aerodynamics has led to enhanced stability and performance.
Besides, an 8-year/160,000km hybrid battery warranty and a 5-year Roadside Assistance are on offer. The Overtrail Edition will be available at Lexus Guest Experience centres in India.
