NX 2021 Pre-Launch Deal in Italy

[Rabbers]

I think, having consulted the Lexus sites of several of the main Continental European countries as well as the U.K., that the following introductory deal, applicable to both the 450 and 350 versions of the 2021 NX, may at the time of writing be running  only in Italy, where it first appeared online yesterday.  I am guessing it will soon also appear elsewhere and may therefore be worth previewing on this Forum.

The deal consists of a prospective purchaser paying an upfront fee of €300 (refundable in the event of non-purchase) and obtaining, at the price of €500 apiece at the time of delivery, one or both of two optional packages consisting of a Set of Alloys/Winter Tyres (List Price €3400) and a so-called Recharge Pack (Plug-in Wallbox including Installation, List Price €2000).  Clearly the latter will be of interest only for the 450+.  The deal also includes priority delivery scheduling.

Oddly, in my view, there is no mention of the payment deadline for the upfront €300, or of the list prices of the cars themselves, or of hypothetical delivery times.  For the rest of it, the information is already familiar from the international reveal campaign.

I only paid £700 for my Zappi electric wall box charger and is much better than the Lexus one from what I've seen.   Good for €500 but I wouldn't say it is worth €2000. (this is without me knowing much about Italy and their electrics)

You’re probably right.  Personally I’m not in the market for a plug-in but I had heard that the going rate for a wall-box is closer to €1000, installed.  Be this as it may, it looks like Lexus Italy will charge twice that, and I wouldn’t think the price will differ much from one country to the next.  As regards the €500 deal for the wall-box I strongly suspect it represents a “self-liquidating offer” whereby the seller is simply looking to cover costs.  Without knowing what the alloys look like - though I can’t imagine that they would be of less than acceptable quality - the price of €500 for a set thereof plus winter tyres looks like a much better deal, even if Lexus’ list price of €3400 is also extremely steep by comparison with what can be  got independently.
