Where is Lexus NX manufactured?
The Lexus NX is manufactured at multiple plants worldwide to meet regional demand, with production centers in Japan, Canada, and China serving different markets.
Global production hubs
To illustrate the global scope of NX production, here are the primary manufacturing hubs used for current-generation NX models.
- Miyawaka Assembly Plant, Toyota Motor Kyushu, Fukuoka Prefecture, Japan — contributes NX production for various markets, including hybrid variants.
- Toyota Motor Manufacturing Canada (TMMC) Cambridge Plant, Cambridge, Ontario, Canada — manufactures NX for the North American market, alongside other TNGA models.
- China: The NX is produced for the local market by the FAW-Toyota joint venture, as part of Toyota's strategy to supply China with locally produced Lexus models.
These sites illustrate how Lexus distributes NX production across regions to reduce lead times and accommodate regional preferences, such as hybrid powertrains and market-specific trim levels.
Regional production details
Japan
In Japan, the Miyawaka plant has been a primary source of NX production. The facility supports domestic sales and exports, leveraging the TNGA platform to deliver efficiency and consistency across powertrain variants.
Canada
The Cambridge plant in Ontario handles North American demand for the NX, sharing production lines with other TNGA vehicles like the RAV4. This arrangement helps Lexus align with North American safety and emissions standards and supplier networks.
China
For the Chinese market, Lexus NX models are produced through a FAW-Toyota joint venture. Local production helps Lexus adapt to China-specific requirements and pricing dynamics while avoiding import tariffs.
Summary
The Lexus NX is not manufactured at a single site. Instead, it is built at multiple plants around the world—principally in Japan, Canada, and China—to serve regional markets efficiently. This distributed approach enables Lexus to tailor trims, powertrains, and supply chains to local demand while maintaining global consistency on the TNGA platform.
