A Look at the Impressive Winter Comfort Technologies in the 2023 Lexus NX

The Lexus NX was entirely renewed last year and in 2023, it continues to be a very comfortable luxury SUV, especially in winter, due to its many technologies.

The Lexus App

The 2023 Lexus NX is compatible with the Lexus Connected Services suite of features, which allows the driver to control a number of the vehicle’s functions via their cell phone. One of the features that can be activated via the app is the remote start. This feature remains a favourite of Canadian drivers and it has now been made more practical. Indeed, controlling this feature via an app means that you can preheat the interior of your vehicle from anywhere while older versions of the system that used a dedicated remote only worked when the driver was within a certain distance of the car. In addition, the temperature of the climate control and the status of the heated seats and steering wheel can be controlled directly via the app.

The heated seats and steering wheel

The 2023 Lexus NX benefits from standard heated front seats and a heated steering wheel. Both of these features are a vital part of making sure the driver and front passenger are as comfortable as can be despite the outside temperature being well below freezing. In order to extend the same level of comfort to the rear seat passengers, heated rear seats can be ordered on most versions of the NX. With the help of the new Lexus Interface infotainment system that was introduced in the NX last year, all of these functions can be controlled by simply saying something like “Hey Lexus, turn on my heated seat”.

The AWD system

The 2023 Lexus NX offers three different all-wheel drive systems that make drivers comfortable in the winter by giving them more confidence behind the wheel. Depending on the model, the NX can be equipped with a Dynamic Torque Control AWD system, an Electronically Controlled Full-Time All-Wheel Drive system, or an AWD-e system. Despite their differences, all three of these technologies make it so that the NX is a very easy and stable vehicle to drive on slippery roads.
