On last Monday, we are the first media to report the output of the Lexus’ new 2.0L turbo engine used in the NX model, to be around 240hp.

Today this is again confirmed to be true: another report from the Lexus Enthusiast website indicates that, the actual output for the Lexus NX200t will be 237hp.

Also the news reveals that the next Lexus model to receive this new engine will be the IS250 (we guess it will be called IS200t when that day comes). Since it is extremely easy to boost the output of a turbo engine, the version that used on the IS may reach the 250hp mark.

Once the IS receives the turbo engine, the trend will obviously affect the GS and RX models...

We all know there will be a new 2.0L 4-cylinder turbo engine debuts together with the upcoming 2015 Lexus NX.

– It is the first time the hybrid cycle mode (Atkinson <=> Otto cycle) paired with the turbo application

– We estimate the compression ratio for this engine will b...

As expected, now you are able to see there are huge amount of the Lexus NX official photo flooding the internet. Of course we will not put those amount of images to flood our website. Before showing you some of our selected NX images, let me provide you some specification information first.

– Three models: NX200 (naturally aspirated 2.0L 4-cylinder engine), NX200t (turbo 2.0L  4-cylinder engine) and NX300h (2.5L naturally aspirated Atkinson cycle 4-cylinder engine + hybrid powertrain). Here is the image of the 2.0L Turbo engine:

– US market will only has the NX200t and NX300h

– FWD or AWD

– NX200t engine output will be around 220 to 230hp; but another source told us it ...
