Lexus is said to be working on bringing its entry-level crossover, the NX, to India.

The NX facelift, which was first revealed at the Shanghai motor show this year, gets a revised suspension tuning along with an adaptive variable suspension system derived from the LC 500 sports coupé. Other changes include styling tweaks to the exterior and an updated infotainment system.

The crossover for international markets is available as the Lexus NX Turbo with a 238hp, 2.0-litre, turbo-petrol motor, or as the Lexus NX 300h that gets a196hp, 2.5-litre, petrol-hybrid powertrain similar to that in the ES 300h.

Like the ES 300h, the NX for India is likely to be locally assembled. It will rival the likes of the similar-sized Mercedes GLA and the Audi Q3 and will be the entry point into the carmaker's SUV line-up.

Leather dash top and variety of colours and textures, not to mention the touchscreen, make the Ford feel more modern.

Button overload on wheel is confusing on the go.

Semi-digital cluster is cool.

Ford’s third-row seat cramped and hard to access.

Endeavour Titanium’s panoramic sunroof is sure to be a huge hit with buyers.

Torquey motor and quick auto are well matched.

Isuzu dash actually has an attractive design, but hard plastics and all-black colour scheme are what make it unexciting.

Middle row is super spacious and comfortable.

Simple but robust 4x4 system.

Manual mode helps keep erratic auto in check.

Boot not huge with all rows in place and lip is high.

MU-X’s rear passengers get flip-down 10in screen to watch movies via DVD or USB.
