Lexus has ambitions beyond the NX200t for the cracking 2.0 litre turbo under the NX's bonnet.

Speaking to Australian media today at the launch of the turbo-driven variant of the mid-sized SUV (pricing and details), Australian Lexus boss Sean Hanley said the Lexus-developed engine was likely to find its way into other Lexus products.

"At the moment this engine is being assessed for its suitability (for) other Lexus models," Mr Hanley said.

"It's a logical enhancement for 2.5 litre V6 models."

For that, you can safely read, as we've reported before, that the underwhelming 2.5 litre V6 is headed out the door. And perhaps sooner, rather than later.

And why not: we can confidently report that the advanced 2.0 litre turbo under the bonnet of the NX200t is twice the engine of the 2.5 litre V6; both more powerful, and more efficient.
