Lexus is making loads of big moves as itembraces an electric future. We've seen a concept that could finally become theLFA's long-awaited successor, and the luxury automaker just revealed its first electric vehiclein the form of the RZ. As part of this new chapter, Lexus is making some changes, the first of which can be seen on the back of vehicles lik the 2022Lexus NX.

On this new SUV, the Lexus logo badge has been eschewed in favor of a written-out script, and this will now become the norm for future models, says global head of marketing Brian Bolain in an interview withMotorTrend.

"We need some way to signify that change is coming to Lexus, and this may seem like a dumb way, but it catches your eye," says Bolain. Fortunately, the updates to the NX are more than just skin-deep. The luxury SUV also benefits from a new infotainment system that uses Google Maps for navigation info. It can also connect to Apple Music and Amazon Music and boasts wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. The annoyingly frustrating joystick that was used to control Lexus infotainment systems of the past has also been done away with, and these changes will carry over to numerous other models in record time.
