Some details about the all-new 2022 Lexus NX were revealed earlier in the year when road tests began on the model.

Camouflaged crossovers that appeared on test trials confirmed that the proportions of the new body will remain the same, and that the emphasis will be on changing its «plastic».

The novelty will definitely receive new bumpers and modified optics, and the designers, as expected, tried to hide the rest of the change with the help of camouflage.

But, something clearly did not go according to plan, and more than six months before the official premiere, detailed photos of the second-generation NX SUV appeared on the Web.

Despite the fact that the source of the «leak» tried to hastily remove them, these photos quickly spread across numerous automotive Internet publications.
