The most obvious change is the rear of the car. NX uses full-width taillights such as IS and UX. In addition, the brand name is written in letters under the taillights. The interior has been significantly updated, and the focus is undoubtedly the new infotainment system. The old mouse and touchpad designs have been discontinued, and NX will be the first to use this new touch screen system. Developed by the Toyota division headquartered in North America, it sounds more intuitive, but you have to put your final decision on hold until you try it yourself. Use a 9.8-inch screen or an optional 14-inch device.
The latter includes a dedicated touch button for comfort control and a physical temperature dial combined with it. The small screen uses all physical controls to implement convenient functions. They all have a physical volume knob. The infotainment display is mounted on a panel that is integrated into the instrument display with a 7-inch screen. The dashboard, door, and console have flowing planes that cross each other, which is common in Toyota products. Many of the latest technologies are also included in updated version.
