If you live and drive in Long Island City, you know you have to stay on your toes. There is always so much happening in the city, and you never know when a Presidential visit or street parade can mean major road closures. If anyone needs a smart vehicle that can help them navigate the unexpected, it's the residents of Long Island City. And the 2025 Lexus NX is the perfect vehicle to help you command this Queens neighborhood. Naturally, its available hybrid powertrains are terrific for boosting fuel economy in stop-and-go New York traffic. But what you might not know about are its excellent tech features. If you’re looking for a Lexus NX for sale in Long Island City, we have this model at our dealership and would love to show it to you.
Lexus has gone above and beyond with the technology features of this model. You can stay ahead of the game and make decisions faster than a New York minute with its intuitive and convenient tech features. With available options like cloud-based navigation, natural language voice commands, and premium sound systems, there is something for everyone. Let’s get to know these impressive and smart features so you can see how perfect they are for life just on the perimeter of Manhattan.
Cloud-Based Navigation
There’s always something going on around Long Island City. Whether it’s major shows at MoMA PS1 or a food festival, you never know when a special event will mean the roads you usually take to get to work or home will be closed, and you have to act fast to stay on schedule. That’s why we love the NX’s cloud-based navigation. It gives you real-time updates about your route as well as route guidance. So if the roads are jammed a few blocks ahead, it will detect it rapidly. Then, it will give you a new suggestion as to how to get to your destination so you can get around traffic.
Having cloud-based navigation can be a major benefit if your internet connection on your phone is spotty and your GPS app is cutting out. Plus, the Lexus NX’s navigation system is fast—it might just detect a slow-down up ahead faster than your usual GPS app.
Intelligent Assistant
Have you ever wished you had a personal assistant with you at all times without having to pay for one (or deal with another person in your vehicle at all times?) Well, you can essentially have that when you visit your local Lexus dealership and get the NX’s Intelligent Assistant. This feature lets you control most features of your vehicle using just your voice. You can ask it to change the cabin temperature, change the song, look up points of interest along your route, get the weather report, and more. See? It really is like having a personal assistant without dealing with a chatty person in your vehicle.
By the way, the Intelligent Assistant gets smarter with time. It uses machine learning to improve its voice recognition capabilities and learn new commands, meaning you can speak to it using natural language rather than memorizing specific phrases it can recognize. What’s more, the Profile feature allows multiple drivers to create profiles so the vehicle can remember each individual’s unique habits and preferences. If a partner or family member drives the vehicle, they don’t have to mess with your profile settings. They can just create their own. How’s that for VIP treatment?
Destination Assistant
No matter how long you’ve lived in New York City, there is always so much to explore, and new businesses are opening all the time. You’ll never really be done exploring NYC. Things change rapidly, and what was a trendy bar one week might be a dress shop the next. The Destination Assistant can help you keep up. Get ready for this: when you activate it, it puts you in touch with a real live operator. Yes, a human being. They can look up points of interest for you. So if you say, “I’m driving to the Empire State Building from Long Island City and need a great Boba place along my route,” the assistant can look that up for you. Did you forget to pick up a birthday cake for your partner and are running late for the celebration? Ask the assistant to find you a great bakery on your route from work to the restaurant. Now, that’s a real human assistant and the type of executive-level experience you can expect from a Lexus.
Smart Device Controls
Download the Lexus app, and you can control some elements of your vehicle from your smartphone. For example, you can start your vehicle remotely. So, if your meeting is running late on a freezing winter day, you can turn on the vehicle’s heater before you get in. Then, you’ll get into a perfectly comfortable cabin.
You can also schedule service for your vehicle using your smartwatch. With just a few taps, you can communicate with our service team and schedule your Lexus NX for important routine maintenance. New Yorkers are busy. If you can save yourself a phone call, why not? The app also gives you vehicle health reports, notifying you if your vehicle needs the attention of a technician.
Premium Sound Systems
Heading to a show on Broadway and want to set the mood? Sitting in traffic going to La Guardia? Enjoy your music on the standard 10-speaker Lexus premium sound system. This system contains speakers strategically placed throughout the cabin, ensuring there are no dead zones. Every passenger will enjoy crisp, clear tunes. And that’s just the standard starting sound system.
You have the option to upgrade the NX with a Mark Levinson 17-speaker, 1,800-watt PurePlay Surround Sound. If you are a serious audiophile and want studio-quality sound, consider upgrading to this system. It will easily drown out the horns and sirens on the Queensboro Bridge, so all you hear is your media files.
