The Japanese luxury car manufacturer, Lexus, is expanding its portfolio in India by bringing its esteemed Overtail concept into our shores.

Lexus NX350h Overtail Announced For India
With a mission to offer exceptional mobility experience to Indian luxury car buyers, Lexus is launching NX350h Overtail. This urban SUV promises uncompromised comfort and performance and intends to inspire customers to explore nature.
Currently, Lexus offers three vehicles in India – the most affordable NX, RX and flagship LX. NX has been on sale in India for some time and has seen quite a few takers owing to its sensuous and flowing design and overall appeal. There are three grades (variants) on sale with NX – Exquisite, Luxury and F-Sport.
When launched, NX350h Overtail will be positioned above Exquisite and below Luxury grade priced at Rs. 71.17 lakh (ex-sh). Many attributes are unique to this Overtail grade. On the outside, Lexus NX350h Overtail gets exclusive and intricate Moon Desert colour with three dimensional effects and metal shading.
Other notable exterior highlights on Overtail grade include the Bright Black spindle grille that perfectly complements the Moon Desert colour. Along with that, we can also see black ORVMs, door handles, door frames, door belt moulding, roof rails and black alloy wheels. These attributes lend a bold and aggressive exterior design with a lot of presence.
Lexus NX350h Overtail is not just a stylistic upgrade over standard vehicle. There are mechanical upgrades to back its adventure and explorer spirit. Overtail boasts an increased ground clearance along with AVS (Adaptive Variable Suspension) to control damping force on individual wheels depending on terrain.

On the inside, Lexus NX350h Overtail promises a blend of refined quality, and distinct design and offers an elegant space to enjoy luxury. Overtail grade packs a Monolith palette along with Geo Layer door trim, which takes inspiration from nature to touch all five senses.
