Did we have to wait so long for this? Boring, and I think we see here a F Sport version ?
Even the C-HR looks sexier...

I agree BMW X1 is uglier than UX but that does not mean that UX is a good looking car for 2018.



This is Jaguar i-Pace interior that is going into production the same year as Lexus UX. Not a concept, nor a chinese "futuristic" interior. This is 2018 Lexus!

Actually that Lexus interior looks better than Jags, even if Jags price is 2.5x more. You can actually brighten up the image to see more there.

it is F-Sport for sure, it has big lcd inside instead of the combo meters, like in LS. Heck might be same as in LS.

Lets hope shoulder lines stand out a lot more in real life than in this image... looks like they might.

My first impression is of an NX minus the separate rear quarter side window behind the rear doors. I expected something more radically sculptured, although, as some of you have noted, perhaps Ultra White isn't the best color to bring out the side sculpturing. I do like this particular F Sport grille mesh pattern (click on the photo above to enlarge it and better appreciate this detail).

On a separate note, the Lexus Europe official news release adds a significant detail missing from its U.S. counterpart Mikeavelli linked to a few posts above: the UX's Chief Engineer is none other than Chika Kako, newly-minted Lexus International vice president, the highest-ranked woman in Toyota's corporate hierarchy and chief engineer for Lexus CT's first and second refresh.

I think it is cute, but I'm not feeling the eyebrow DRL.

Not a fan of the exterior. It looks somehow disproportionate, especially the profile. Rear quarter looks awkward with the wheel arch and the plastic cladding. I definitely prefer the X1 looks-wise.

When i first saw the 250h logo , i thought (as i've already wrote) that i am living 2011 all over again. Now i am sure...My time machine works!

At least they will offer an EV option...

Wake me up when BMW develops a proper hybrid system that can do load shifting so the car won't go trash MPG mode when the battery runs out.

Interesting.

A few random thoughts:

• This is quite a subdued departure from the UX concept, which is shocking considering that the LC/LF-LC, LS/LF-FC and NX/LF-NX were all much truer to their concepts. At the same time, I've been looking for Lexus designs to mature a bit and this seems toned down and more mainstream... I'm just not sure if it's in a good way.
• Exterior is probably my least favorite recent Lexus debut. I think part of the challenge is that so many of Lexus signature design cues - spindle grille, aggressive side sculpting, tripe LEDs with LED check mark DRL - are probably hard to integrate on a car that's only slightly larger than a kitchen table. However, the front end looks sort of flat but disproportionate - but that might just be the angle. Even if you pause the video at 0:09, the front end just looks... not elegant? which is a let down following up on LS and LC. I'm ready to see a smaller, tighter, neater spindle and this is not it. The huge spindle flanked by two huge black vertical slits on either side looks sort of fish or insect-esque, to me. There needs to be more "body" and less openings, IMO.
• I am curious if the front grille mesh will be different for the non F-Sport version. I hope so. The standard LS mesh grille adds a lot of dimension to the front of the car that the F Sport grille takes away - too flat and generic looking, IMO.
• I think the interior looks quite nice. The layout is rather basic, but from the photos, everything looks thoughtfully designed and well executed.
• It's shocking to me that what is Lexus' most entry-level product will have the same steering wheel as the LS 500. At the launch of the LS, I wished it had a more distinct steering wheel (with more wood), something like the refreshed 4LS that had exposed wood all along the bottom portion. I don't like the LS's full leather rim with wood inlays, and the steering wheel in this car - which will cost about 1/3 as much - is basically the same one.
• Regardless of what any of us say or think, they're about to sell so many of these it'll be stupid. Probably instantly Lexus third best selling model behind RX and NX.

Interesting.

The most important question is. Does it come in AWD?
