丰田汽车公司最新款紧凑型跨界车将于12月起在安大略省的一家工厂下线，这表明日本汽车制造商正致力于在加拿大生产汽车，而此时美国竞争对手正在该国缩减产量，新进入的中国竞争对手则在加大销售力度。
Toyota Motor’s latest compact crossover will roll out of a plant in Ontario starting in December, a sign of the Japanese automaker’s commitment to making cars in Canada at a time when U.S. rivals are shrinking production in the country and newly arrived Chinese competitors are ramping up sales.
这款仅提供混合动力版本的更新款雷克萨斯NX是丰田位于安大略省剑桥38年历史工厂综合体生产的三款车型之一，另外两款是丰田RAV4跨界车和雷克萨斯RX SUV。虽然其中部分车型在当地销售，但约85%被预留用于出口——主要面向规模更大、利润更丰厚的美国市场。
The updated, hybrid-only Lexus NX is one of three models made at Toyota’s 38-year-old factory complex in Cambridge, Ontario, along with the Toyota RAV4 crossover and Lexus RX SUV. While some of those are sold locally, about 85% are earmarked for export — mostly to the much larger and more lucrative U.S. market.
丰田还在位于约48公里外的另一座安大略省设施生产RAV4。去年，这两家工厂合计生产了537,518辆汽车，使丰田成为加拿大最大的汽车制造商。
It also builds the RAV4 at another Ontario facility located about 48 kilometers away. The plants produced a combined 537,518 vehicles last year, making Toyota the largest vehicle manufacturer in Canada.
