Technology

Door Sill Protectors

E-Latch

An e-latch system in the Lexus NX replaces the conventional door latch/unlatch mechanism with an electronic control that opens and closes doors smoothly with no wasted movements, like a sliding shoji paper door. To open a door when getting in, simply press the switch on the inside of the door handle . When getting out, the door opens in a single action by pressing a switch while holding the pull handle.

SEA (Safe Exit Assist)

In the Lexus NX, SEA uses the BSM (Blind Spot Monitor System) to detect vehicles (including bicycles) approaching from the rear when exiting the vehicle. If SEA determines a collision with an opened door or exiting occupants is a possibility, an indicator in the door mirror lights up to alert occupants. In addition, if an occupant tries to open a door, the e-latch system cancels door unlatch operation.

Electronically Controlled Full-time AWD

Electronically controlled full-time AWD has been adopted in turbo models such as the Lexus NX to optimize the front/rear drive torque distribution in keeping with the driving conditions, allowing the driver to confidently control the vehicle as intended. The system provides exhilarating yet refined control from normal to aggressive driving, allowing control using the accelerator for smooth vehicle behavior from corner entry to exit.

Safety

SRS (Supplemental Restraint System) Airbag System

The front seats of the Lexus NX are equipped with SRS airbags that deploy in response to impact force from the front of the vehicle. An SRS knee airbag for the driver’s seat cushions impact force and disperses it throughout the body by arresting movement of the lower limbs. SRS side airbags and SRS curtain shield airbags protect occupants in a side collision.

PKSB (Parking Support Brake)

PKSB in the Lexus NX (for stationary objects in front, behind, or close to the vehicle) helps to reduce damage by mitigating the severity of collisions caused by mistaken or excessive operation of the accelerator. On vehicles equipped with Advanced Park with Remote Park, the detection of stationary objects has been expanded to right around the vehicle, including the sides.
