2015 Lexus NX first view

Lexus has unveiled the new NX. A mid-size crossover, its task will be to steal segment share from established rivals such as the Audi Q5 and BMW X3.

Angular styling, a rearwards-sloping roofline and a massive ‘spindle’ front grille give the NX a typically Lexus look. Other key styling elements include a shallow glasshouse, flared wheel arches and distinctive LED headlamps and rear light clusters.

Among the interior innovations is a wireless charging tray for portable devices, while a blind spot monitor, rear cross traffic alert system and head-up display will also be available.

Individual market specifications have yet to be confirmed, but three engine options are going to be produced. The normally-aspirated NX 200 and turbocharged NX 200t both feature a 2.0 litre petrol unit. Although there’s no diesel in the range, those seeking efficiency should be catered for by the NX 300h petrol-electric hybrid.

The Lexus NX will make its first public appearance at the Beijing Motor Show later this month. UK sales are then expected to begin towards the end of 2014.

‘New’ Jensen Interceptor

There’s something very retro-chic about using a classic car as a daily driver, but it’s an activity that comes with the permanent risk that aged mechanicals might expire at any time. Hence the concept of regeneration by substituting ancient components with fresh replacements. Handling, brakes and reliability are all dramatically improved, while the outward appearance remains unmolested. Various models have received this treatment in recent years, including numerous Jaguars and even the Shelby G.T.500CR . Now it’s the turn of the Jensen Interceptor, a car originally built during the late 1960s and early 1970s. Jensen International Automotive , based in Thame, Oxfordshire, has just delivered the first of its Interceptor R models. And, with an annual production figure of 18 cars, it’s a product that will be very exclusive. In a process lasting around five months, each Interceptor R is totally rebuilt from a suitable donor car.
