While there is a bit of a kerfuffle about whether the SUV that was spotted on a trailer earlier this week was a Honda HR-V or a Lexus NX, it’s the latter that could be arriving here sooner as bookings for the all-new 2022 Lexus NX are now open. Lexus Malaysia is offering two variants of the 'Nimble Crossover' which are fully imported (CBU) from Japan: NX 250 Luxury - From RM 370,888 NX 350 F Sport - From RM 389,888 Both prices are on the road, without insurance, and inclusive of SST.
