SHANGHAI MOTOR SHOW: Lexus teases facelifted NX

Japanese car maker to give mid-sized SUV a mild spruce-up for Chinese show

Lexus has announced that it plans to unveil a facelifted version of its small NX SUV at the Shanghai motor show next month.

Releasing a single image of the new NX breaking free from an old NX-shell, the car maker teases a redesigned front headlamp and a tweaked front "spindle" grille, but little more.

According to Lexus, as well as an "updated exterior design" there's also an enhanced interior that adds both "convenience and functionality" - hinting at a new infotainment system.

Under the bonnet, it's not known if the hybrid NX300 or turbocharged NX200t have been tweaked for more power and better emissions.

More teases are expected in the next few weeks ahead of its Chinese auto show unveiling.
