Lexus have their answer to BMW's X2 in the shape of this UX and according to Lexus, it's an 'urban compact crossover' which is somewhere between a family hatch and compact SUV. This new UX does look to be a tonned down version of the UX concept that was first revealed at the Paris motor show in 2016. Most of the wild looks and odd proportions have been diluted,however there is still a large emphasis on bulbous wheel arches and complex undulating bodywork. Lexus trademark design style is apparent with an integrating large spindle grille,triple motif headlights and Nike-tick-style daytime running lights. The interior shot shows Lexus widescreen infotainment system along with the marques emphasis on build quality with attention to detail. No diesel engines are on offer so expect petrol and plug-in hybrids to be applied. The UX could well be a long term replacement for the CT200h which has been on sale since 2011. As the markets suggest, the SUV's could well outsell the mainstream hatch.
Will be using the 1.5 and 1.8 litre hybrid powertrains with further improved e-CVT transmissions. There was a new CT200h n development but that was scrapped in favour of this
Yep much quicker but not as good on fuel , now done about 4000 miles on ours and its averaging about 46mpg, hoping when weather warms up and gets a few more miles on it it will improve but its about 9mpg worse on fuel than the Prius, its well equipped (2020 models have carplay ours doesnt) and super relaxing to drive .
not sure for a change, I'm usually 100% for or against but have to say 50/50 with this one.
