Video: Quick Tour of the Lexus UX Subcompact Crossover

Posted by Kevin on June 20th, 2018

With such a long wait between reveal and availability, the new Lexus UX subcompact crossover is not exactly top of mind. This makes Lexus Canada’s refresher video a nice reminder of what’s yet to come:

(The new ES had yet to be announced when the UX was revealed, and the similarities between the interiors are pronounced. Have to think this is Lexus locking down a common cabin design for models below the flagship level.)

Our RAV4H already does around 33-35 MPG combined hey but at least the AWD system on the UX250h is new and more potent.

I sit around 30MPG combined in mine. I suspect I probably have more of a lead foot. :)

There's still be no information from Lexus about the weight of the UX. I'm interested to see the pricing/what the new subscription service includes.

Rav4 Hybrid does 32 MPG combined. NX300h is 31 MPG ((heavier?) while UX is 38 MPG (EPA). Rav4 is already really good with MPG, and this is even better. So whatever you are getting in Rav4H, you will likely get at least 5-7 MPG better in UX.

@mikeavelli Likely a bit lighter (and smaller wheels) C-HR does 29 MPG with older 2.0l and CVT, while this UX 2.0l CVT is 33 MPG... A very nice number, especially with almost 22hp more.

Competition, while more powerful, does 25-27 MPG.... so 30%-50% better depending on engine, not a small feat vs latest and greatest from competition.

I just noticed those black plastic over the fenders yesterday.

I know they can protect the fender wells as well as the surrounding area but in terms of aesthetics, did Lexus try to make it look more muscular? I am not liking the design as it detracts from the fluidity.

#Cheap plastic fender bolt-on off-road style, for luxury German cars, another stupid trend they started and all are following. Land Cruiser, a true off-road car, never had that. I hate that plastic fender, it is really cheap, especially on expensive cars.
