New face of Lexus drives substantial sales growth - Zawya (registration)
Dubai - The recently launched all-new turbocharged Lexus NX and the two-door RC coupe are two new star performers within the Lexus line-up, contributing among other key models to around 8% growth in Lexus sales at Al-Futtaim Motors. "In addition to the great performance of NX and RC, Lexus' strong line-up is performing very well across different segments. 2015 H1 sales of Lexus IS for instance were up 17% compared to the same period last year while Lexus RX posted 32% increase during the same period," said Saud Abbasi, Managing Director of Lexus at Al-Futtaim Motors. Earlier this year, Lexus penetrated a brand new fast growing segment in the UAE with the launch of the turbocharged Lexus NX. The compact crossover proved to be popular prior to its arrival in the country with very high numbers of pre-orders. Inspired by performance vehicles, the turbocharged Lexus NX combines the expertise of racers within the engineering team and the impeccable touch of Lexus luxury through an exciting and sporty design. The new car offers dramatic design alternatives to a segment populated by boxy offerings to reveal the boldest interpretation yet of the signature Lexus spindle grille and L-finesse design. Another factor backing up this growth is the recently launched two-door Lexus RC. It boasts sculpted lines and a wide, low stance, designed to blend. Source: www.zawya.com
