PLANO, Texas, Sept. 1, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Lexus debuts the new and greatly enhanced Lexus NX compact crossover for the 2027 model year, a model which has continued to enjoy popularity with legions of luxury customers globally. Since its debut in 2014, the Lexus NX has earned acclaim from customers around the world for its agile urban driving performance, stylish design, and other distinctive qualities. For the 2027 model year, Lexus NX will move to a 100% electrified lineup with a choice of Hybrid or Plug-in Hybrid grades.

Some of the highlights of the new NX include interior and exterior design elements, improved structural rigidity and driving dynamics, next-generation hybrid technology, and the inclusion of Sensory Concierge on select grades. In addition to this, the Lexus Interface 14-inch screen is now standard across all grades and acts as the central hub for navigation, entertainment, vehicle information, and connected technologies. This extensively updated new model is expected to be made available across global markets by the end of 2026.

Next-Generation Hybrid Drivetrain Technology
The new Lexus NX aims to elevate the compact crossover experience by deploying the latest, most advanced Lexus hybrid drivetrain technology. Since 2005, when Lexus introduced hybrid-electric technology into the luxury space in the U.S., generation over generation advances in the drivetrain systems have yielded power improvements and efficiency enhancements that have been applied to this latest iteration of the NX Hybrid system.

Key System Enhancements for Hybrid and Plug-In Hybrid NX
The new system uses an e-Axle assembly integrating the transaxle, motor, and PCU (Power Control Unit). The result is a more compact, lightweight package, helping lower the vehicle’s center-of-gravity. Further efficiency gains are achieved through improved drivetrain electronics and the adoption of SiC (silicon carbide) power semiconductors in the inverter.

The NX 450h+ is equipped with a newly developed Lithium-ion battery that delivers an 8% increase in output and a 30% increase in capacity. PHEV grades also now come standard with DC fast charging and the addition of a Power Charge Port Door.

By changing the battery cell layout from the conventional longitudinal arrangement to a transverse one, lateral rigidity across the entire body has been increased, while the lower battery mounting position achieves a lower center of gravity.

The redesigned hybrid system also features enhanced battery power management. Greater use of battery power during acceleration suppresses excessive engine speed, allowing engine rpm to rise more in sync with vehicle speed for a more linear acceleration feel.

Along with this, the redesigned engine block casting includes reinforced areas that increase rigidity between the engine and transaxle. The improved block rigidity helps shift resonance away from engine combustion frequencies, reducing unpleasant noise and vibration.

Updated Electronic Control Unit (ECU) programming improves the coordination between the motor and engine when transitioning from EV to HEV driving. The NX PHEV retains essential driving feedback to provide a driving experience that fosters intuitive, confident communication between driver and vehicle.

The new NX offers an E-Four electronic all-wheel-drive system featuring revised rear motor control that enables continuous AWD operation not only during launch, wheel slip and cornering, but also in straight-line driving. This always-on AWD system delivers more stable, confidence-inspiring handling with an enhanced sense of road contact, while also improving stability on low-traction surfaces such as snow.

Evolving the “Lexus Driving Signature” Through Enhanced Performance and Extensive Refinement
To further evolve the Lexus Driving Signature, the uniquely Lexus driving character defined by its clear, responsive, and linear feeling of the vehicle control surfaces, Lexus engineers continuously enhance the fundamental performance of every model through uncompromising and relentless vehicle refinement. The new NX improves on the vehicle’s core fundamentals through measures such as increased body rigidity and the placement of major mass components help enhance the NX’s sporty dynamic nature and ride comfort.

The new model’s performance was then rigorously honed and tuned on the demanding test courses at Toyota Technical Center Shimoyama (TTC-S), Lexus’ vehicle development center. Development also continued at Germany’s Nürburgring, the inspiration behind TTC-S and home to even more demanding road conditions. Through exhaustive testing and repeated tuning, the new NX was refined to deliver Lexus’ hallmark comfort and refinement while pursuing a driving experience that enables intuitive communication between driver and vehicle.

For the new NX, aspects of the chassis and vehicle control systems have been carefully tuned to deliver an even more linear and refined driving feel.

Body rigidity, which forms the foundation of a vehicle’s core structure, is continuously enhanced across all NX grades. For the new NX, in addition to reinforcing the front and rear of the unibody, a new floor cross member and additional reinforcement along the tunnel ridge have been adopted, increasing floor rigidity. The suspension towers have also been redesigned with integrated structural components, improving their rigidity. These enhancements contribute not only to sharper handling, and reduced road noise but also to greater ride comfort due to improved suspension performance.

On NX grades that don’t include an Adaptive Variable Suspension System, the newly adopted shock absorbers with ultra-low-speed valves generate damping force with high responsiveness even to minute suspension movements, achieving a ride that is both responsive and refined. The system helps keep the vehicle body flatter over road undulations, contributing to both sporty handling and ride comfort. Suspension tuning was carried out not only on the various test courses at TTC-S, but also repeatedly at the Nürburgring. The suspension was refined across a wide range of road surfaces and conditions to deliver handling and ride comfort that feel natural and inspire confidence.

The steering wheel diameter has been reduced by 0.4 inches to 14.2 inches, and a Variable Rack Gear with a more responsive variable steering ratio has been adopted across all grades, further improving maneuverability. The electric power steering system was also thoroughly re-tuned to complement these changes. By delivering light, linear steering feedback, the new NX achieves a more natural and confidence-inspiring steering feel, even with its quick handling characteristics.

Advancements in accelerator control deliver lighter, more linear acceleration response. Improvements to the accelerator pedal assembly also reduce friction throughout the pedal stroke, allowing more linear pedal movement and more precise control of vehicle speed.

A new brake control system applies subtle braking during cornering to help stabilize yaw and roll motions during abrupt maneuvers, such as sudden lane changes. This delivers greater vehicle stability and enhanced ease of control.

The driving position was optimized using big data analysis to determine seat and steering wheel positions. Based on the results, the steering wheel’s telescopic adjustment range has been expanded to provide a more optimal driving position. The pedals and steering wheel have also been redesigned to deliver precise, intuitive control across a wide range of driving situations, from sporty driving to everyday urban driving.

Aerodynamic performance has also been enhanced through increased rigidity of the side grille ducts, which helps stabilize airflow around the tires for improved handling stability. Fins integrated into the wheel housings further improve airflow management by efficiently evacuating air and reducing pressure build-up. The result is a greater sense of road contact and enhanced straight-line stability. 

A Sportier Exterior with a Refined and Comfortable Interior
The new NX further refines and evolves the “Vital Tech” design theme inherited from previous generations. While retaining its sporty form and side silhouette, the exterior has evolved to express a more dynamic and active character. The seamless integration of function and form embodies the functional beauty unique to Lexus. Inside, the cabin offers a spacious sense of openness and a relaxing atmosphere, providing comfort for occupants in every seat.

Proportions That Signal Performance
A wide, low stance creates simple, clean proportions, while the seamless integration of the headlamps, cornering lamps, and other functional elements into the grille reinforces the vehicle’s sporty character. The design has been updated with a more modern look by seamlessly integrating functional elements, while a mesh grille enhances aerodynamic and cooling performance expressing Lexus’ signature fusion of form and function.

The outer mirrors and moldings have been updated from chrome finishes to predominantly black accents. The more cohesive appearance accentuates the NX’s distinctive sense of solid, sculpted sportiness and creates a powerful stance.

The headlamps integrate the turn signals and daytime running lights (DRLs) into a distinctive dual-line lighting signature that gives the NX a sharp, unmistakable look while balancing design with functionality.

The rear combination lamps feature Lexus’ first Double L Signature. The illuminated double L-shaped elements at each end, together with the illuminated Lexus logo, reinforce the vehicle’s wide, low stance.

Nine exterior colors are available for body color, including two new additions. Shaded Ivy, an ash tone, conveys a modern character while harmonizing with nature, while the sharp and cool Incognito is newly available for F SPORT grades.

An Interior that Inspires
The instrument panel horizontally aligns the 12.3-inch digital meter and 14-inch touchscreen navigation/multimedia display to help support driver attention on the roadway. The layout combines excellent visibility with intuitive operability, creating a driving environment that feels both open and relaxing.

A redesigned steering wheel and Responsive Hidden Switches with translucent surface panels further enhance functionality while strengthening the consistency of the Lexus brand identity.

Linear and ambient illumination create a tranquil, refined atmosphere. A continuous line of light extending from the instrument panel to the door trim reinforces the horizontal theme, creating a simple, clean aesthetic and enhancing the cabin’s sense of width and openness.

On NX grades with the available Mark Levinson® audio system, perforated metal speaker grilles create a sophisticated, high-tech appearance. A circular illuminated ring surrounding the door speakers shines through the grilles, creating an elegant lighting signature.

The interior is available in five color options, including two new colors: Abalos and the F SPORT-exclusive Radiant Red. Inspired by the sand dunes of Mars’ northern hemisphere, Abalos is a vibrant yet composed color that evokes the energy of the landscape. The F SPORT-only Radiant Red is even more vivid, further accentuating the model’s sporty and active character.

The Sporty Side
F SPORT grades receive exclusive front under spoilers, side pontoons, and rear corner devices that heighten the sense of dynamic performance. Piano Black finishes on the roof side rails, roof spoiler, and rocker panels create a more cohesive, sporty appearance.

Exclusive lightweight, high-rigidity 20-inch aluminum wheels and red brake calipers further distinguish the F SPORT model. The interior features an all-black instrument panel to create a more driver-focused cockpit, while contrast stitching provides a distinctive accent.

Sensory Concierge: A Multisensory Cabin Experience
Available on Luxury and F SPORT grades, Sensory Concierge is designed to provide all occupants with a space as relaxing as their own living room, delivering an experience based on Lexus’ “Performing Arts” concept, and immersing occupants through the interplay of space and sensory effects. By coordinating illumination, music, climate control, seat temperature, and fragrance across three modes, the system tailors the cabin environment to occupants’ moods, helping them feel relaxed or energized depending on the moment.

The Environment, Health, and Safety Market is expected to reach USD 13.97 billion by 2032 from USD 9.28 billion in 2026, at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 7.0% during 2026–2032. The market is witnessing strong growth as organizations increasingly focus on workplace safety, environmental compliance, risk management, and operational efficiency. Stricter regulations, rising awareness of employee health and safety, and the need to reduce workplace incidents are accelerating EHS adoption. Enterprises are increasingly investing in digital EHS software and services to streamline compliance management, incident reporting, risk assessment, audits, inspections, and environmental monitoring. The growing adoption of cloud-based platforms, analytics, automation, and connected technologies further supports more integrated, data-driven EHS management.

The growing deployment of EHS technologies enables organizations to continuously monitor workplace risks, environmental performance, safety incidents, and compliance requirements. These solutions support incident management, corrective actions, risk assessment, safety inspections, environmental reporting, and regulatory compliance. EHS software centralizes data, automates workflows, improves visibility, and enables faster decision-making, while services support implementation, consulting, training, and ongoing system management. As organizations prioritize safer workplaces, regulatory compliance, and sustainable operations, EHS market adoption is expected to expand across developed and emerging economies.

By offering, the software segment is expected to hold the largest market share.

The software segment is expected to hold the largest share of the global Environment, Health, and Safety (EHS) market, driven by the growing need for centralized, automated, data-driven management of workplace safety, environmental compliance, and operational risks. Organizations are increasingly adopting EHS software to manage incident reporting, risk assessments, audits, inspections, compliance requirements, environmental monitoring, and employee health and safety programs. The growing focus on regulatory compliance, sustainability, workplace safety, and ESG initiatives is further increasing demand for integrated EHS platforms.

These solutions leverage cloud computing, artificial intelligence (AI), analytics, mobile technologies, and automation to improve real-time visibility into EHS performance, identify potential risks, streamline reporting, and support faster corrective actions. Integration with enterprise systems, IoT devices, connected equipment, and environmental monitoring technologies is further enhancing EHS software capabilities. As organizations prioritize proactive risk management, regulatory compliance, and sustainability, EHS software is becoming critical to improving operational efficiency, reducing incidents, and enabling scalable, data-driven EHS management.

By service, the analytics services segment is expected to witness the highest growth rate during the forecast period.

The analytics services segment is expected to grow rapidly as organizations increasingly use EHS data analytics to identify risks, monitor compliance, and improve workplace safety. The growing volume of environmental, health, and safety data is driving demand for real-time dashboards, predictive analytics, incident trend analysis, and performance monitoring.

Analytics services also support EHS decision-making by converting complex operational data into actionable insights without requiring significant in-house analytical capabilities. The increasing adoption of cloud-based EHS platforms, IoT-enabled monitoring, and AI-driven analytics is enabling proactive risk identification, improved regulatory compliance, and stronger safety performance, further driving segment growth.

Asia Pacific is expected to register the highest growth rate during the forecast period.

Asia Pacific is projected to register the highest CAGR in the Environment, Health, and Safety (EHS) market during the forecast period, driven by rapid industrialization, expanding manufacturing and infrastructure activities, stricter workplace safety regulations, and increasing adoption of cloud-based EHS software across countries such as China, Japan, India, South Korea, and Australia. Organizations are increasingly deploying digital EHS platforms for incident management, risk assessment, compliance management, environmental monitoring, workforce health, and safety analytics to improve operational visibility and reduce workplace risks. The region’s growing focus on sustainability, ESG reporting, worker protection, and regulatory compliance is further accelerating demand for integrated EHS solutions and services. AI, real-time analytics, mobile applications, and automated reporting are also enabling organizations to shift from reactive compliance to proactive risk prevention. A notable recent development is Cority’s 2026 expansion of AI-driven EHS capabilities, with more than 30 AI workflows demonstrated across safety, health, environmental, and operational risk management, highlighting the broader shift toward intelligent and integrated EHS platforms.

Company Revenue Share Details

The Environment, Health, and Safety Market remains highly competitive and fragmented, with no single vendor controlling the overall market because it covers environmental management, occupational health and safety, risk management, compliance, sustainability, and operational risk. Wolters Kluwer has strengthened its position with the Enablon platform, which combines EHS, operational risk, process safety, ESG, and AI-powered capabilities. Cority maintains a strong position through its integrated CorityOne platform, supported by EHS, sustainability, and ESG capabilities and acquisitions such as Greenstone. EcoOnline has expanded its global EHSQ footprint through acquisitions, including Alcumus’ EHS software business, adding complementary risk, compliance, and sustainability capabilities. Other major participants, including VelocityEHS, Intelex, Sphera, Benchmark ESG, Ideagen, SAP, IBM, and Evotix, contribute through EHS management, environmental compliance, operational risk, sustainability, and workplace safety solutions. Overall, demand for integrated cloud platforms, AI-enabled risk management, mobile workforce solutions, sustainability reporting, and connected EHS data is increasingly shaping competition, while the lack of standardized standalone EHS revenue reporting makes precise company revenue-share comparisons difficult.
