In its second generation, which arrived in 2022, the latest update comes as the model’s mid-cycle refresh. With it comes revised appearances both inside and out, including redesigned head and taillights, new front and rear bumper designs, and a complete rehash of the interior dashboard layout. The updated NX also incorporates Lexus’ newest logo-less insignia, which is now seen on the NX’s steering wheel. But the changes aren’t just all cosmetic as the new NX also benefits from powertrain upgrades, especially with the plug-in hybrid electric model, which can travel up to 40 miles on all-electric range, depending on the trim. Stan’s Polar Drip Wax Stan’s latest chain treatment brings drip-format convenience to a technology the brand says it exclusively offers: polar wax, a plant-based lubricant whose molecules bond chemically to steel rather than simply coating over it. That means deeper penetration into chain rollers and pins, better retention and, sayeth Stan’s, 200-plus miles of low-friction performance between applications. A bottle made from recycled sea plastic, a PFAS- and PTFE-free formula and USA manufacturing round out the package. Pro tip: Score 25% off by bundling with Stan’s Drivetrain Cleaner ($28.50 for the pair), the perfect prep for polar bonding.
