The Lexus UX: Built for the urban explorer

The Lexus UX: Built for the urban explorer

The Lexus UX is a luxury subcompact SUV that paves the way for a new level of driving experience thanks to its exceptional design, precision, sophisticated interior, smart technology, and agile handling.

The Lexus UX has the capability to grab the attention of anyone due to its exquisitely sculpted exteriors that bring a solid aesthetic, which is both sporty and sleek. It boasts of a bold front end reflected in the iconic Lexus grille and a sporty silhouette and solid rear design.

The UX, being responsive and compact, is specifically designed for city driving. Its outstanding in-class turning radius of 5.2 meters enables it to maneuver even in narrow and tight spots. 

This crossover has also been designed to be excellently responsive and nimble due to a low center of gravity and a very rigid body. It is also efficiently stable on uneven surfaces and around curves. 

As an outcome of an extensive utilization of laser screw welding, high-strength adhesives, and high-tensile steel, the UX possesses an agile and lightweight platform. 

Aside from having a unique rear profile, specific aerodynamic stabilizers, which are subtly integrated into the configuration of the rear lights and wheel arches, aid in regulating airflow and in enhancing stability during cross winds, lane shifts, and at high speeds.   

The philosophy behind the spectacular colors of the UX is “Toughness yet Luxury,” which demonstrates the ruggedness of a crossover and the elegance of Lexus-style textures. A modern and fresh palette of interior and exterior colors is matched with the superior quality and distinct textures of the trim and upholstery. 

Inside, the cabin’s design is inspired by conventional Japanese engawa verandas that smoothly combine the exterior and interior.

The Japanese concept of the engawa entails the harmonious blending of outdoor and indoor spaces, which is clearly visible in the driver’s seat, where the instrument panel seems to extend through the windscreen into the bonnet. This allows the driver to have greater control of the car while traveling.

When complemented with superior in-class front visibility, it allows convenient maneuverability both within and outside the city, enabling you to get a better view of the road.

One of the alternative interior trims is washi-inspired. Washi refers to the grain pattern of Japanese handcrafted paper, which aids in creating a sense of warmth and serenity.

Aside from a washi-inspired dashboard trim, the UX also takes pride in Sashiko-quilted leather seats, as one of its distinct features.

Unique to the Lexus UX 200 F Sport variant is a 10.3-inch EMV  that displays hands-free mobile calls and other details. It coordinates the display of select information with the multi-information touchscreen incorporated into the seven-inch color TFT Optitron meter as well as the large color head-up display placed in the driver's line of sight.

The UX also features air vent knobs which are inspired by the LC's tail lamps. The air vent knobs are wirelessly powered and smartly illuminated to generate a floating lighting depth effect.

We take a look at the specs of the two available variants here: the Lexus UX 200 and the Lexus UX 200 F Sport.
