Double Edged

The NX300h comes hot out of Lexus growing lineup of cars in India. It promises a lot of performance while saving the earth at the same time. We take it for a spin to Goa, to see if it delivers

Lexus entered India earlier this year and since then, has steadily worked towards introducing new models across a premium genres. Premium being the keyword here, after all it’s what sets the brand apart from its parent company Toyota. It is also my first time driving a Lexus and the first time I’ve experienced a sub-brand that’s not sporting monikers of a performance division. Expectations were thus set a tad higher. With a grand launch event hosted at a dock in Mumbai, the day came to get a feel of the NX300h in the flesh. Their latest hybrid vehicle, the NX300h is an urban-compact that combines the sporty design language of modern Lexus cars with future drive train technology given the gradual shift towards alternative fuels.
