The new 2.0 liter turbo is
The new 2.0 liter turbo is ready to go in the Lexus NX 200t. We are scheduled to drive it in July (4 weeks from now). Lexus reports 235 HP, but 258 lb-ft of torque. Toyota has confirmed the engine will be made available across the brands and across the models. The move to turbos is partly cost saving, and partly because the high torque available allows the cars and trucks with these engines to do well on the EPA MPG test cycles. I'm not saying I like it, but it is the trend.
